Promise.
There are clouds beyond, There is sunshine and calm,
There is pain here below, But for each pain there is a balm.
There is death and then rest, For our Father who is wise,
Has prepared us a place — A home in the skies.
Then bide ye the time,
Our Father has given, We will meet them again,
In His mansions in heaven.
—Lenora Pierson.
The funeral was held at the home of Wm. Pierson, four miles northwest of Gravity on Wednesday morning at nine o'clock. Interment was made in the Cagley church cemetery, with a short service at the grave by Rev. Moulton. CLARINDA HERALD, Clarinda, Iowa, Jun 19, 1906
