They are not dead who live
In hearts they leave behind.
In those whom they have blessed
They live a life again
And shall live through the years
Eternal life, and grow
Each day more beautiful,
And time declares their good,
Forget the rest and promises their
Immortality
The funeral services were held in Christ Ev. Luth. Church in Davenport with Rev. J. C. Hershey officiating, and burial in the Davenport Cemetery.
