JOE CIHLAR
I cannot say, I will not say
That he is dead; he is just away!
With a cheery smile
And a wave of the hand
He has wandered into an unland,
And left us dreaming how very fair
It needs must be, since he lingers there
And you-oh you, who the wildest yearn
Think of his faring on, more dear
In the life of There, than the love of Here
Think of him still as long ago,
He is not dead; he is just away.
Late last Friday afternoon death claimed the soul of Joe Cihlar, at Mt. Washington Sanatorium, Eau Claire, and who will long be held in loving remembrance by classmates and by the many friends he made wherever he went.
Joe Cihlar was born in Jackson, Minn., Sept. 23, 1896. He came to Cadott when a mere boy thus entering the primary class with the same boys and girls that he so happily graduated with in May 1914. Joe, though studious, was the life of the class, being quick and bright his thots were turned toward college and it was with a glad heart that he started working and saving for that goal. But God had planned his life differently, for late in the summer of 1915, within a few months of entering college, he was stricken with a bad attack of inflammatory rheumatism and from that to lingering consumption for three and a half long years of suffering, yet his face never lost its sunny smile nor his nature its jolliness- thus he slipped away from pain, just a youth of 22.
Joe was proud of his class, it was the last happy event of his life, he never tired talking of school happenings and that little group showed its loving remembrance with a wreath tribute bearing the word "Classmate".
His preparation for the end was made calmly and philosophically. He calculated well his responsibilities and bravely made good the conditions needful for a perfect adjustment of his life to its environments, socially, physically and spiritually.
Those who are most deeply affected by the loss of this young life are his immediate family, Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Cihlar, three brothers, two sisters, aunts, classmates and those friends who have known him best and therefore love him best.
