"Suddenly on Thursday, January 2, 1930, Robert Edward Lee, beloved husband of Emma Lee (nee Slater), and eldest son of the late Samuel and Julia Lee, aged 58 years. Funeral from his late residence, 215 4th st. s.e., on Monday, January 6, at 2 p.m. Relatives and friends invited to attend. Interment at Congressional Cemetery.
Without warning he went, no sad good-by.
No last farewell, there was no one nigh.
For the reaper came, in the hush of night.
And made dark our home, that was so bright.
We loved him so, we did not know
That soon, so soon, he would have to go.
We could not see, ere another morn.
How crushed our hearts, how sad, how forlorn.
And our faith is stronger, our love more pure.
Our loss, so deep, less hard to endure.
For we know that Christ led him all the way
Through that darkened valley to that perfect day."
