IN MEMORY
November 25, 1935, a voice of hope and cheer, was stilled when the soul of our loving Bill Arnold winged its flight to the land where all that hope can imagine and that cheer can inspire. His little smiling hours of 19 years were not lived in vain. For like a mocking-bird filled with the hope of a new born day, Bill was always facing the rising sun with a cheerful smile.
All are bettered that he has lived and none are here who do not regret his absence.
There's a vacant spot in my heart tonight, Vacant 'cause of you.
There's a teardrop there for you.
We miss you,dear, as the shadows fall
When the night-bird trills its forlorn call
We miss you ,dear, most of all.
