Pallbearers were five son-in-laws, Luther Biddle, Pete Brown, Pearly Bird, Erskine Johnson, Dock Kerby, and one son, Harrison Dickson. A dear one from this earth has gone.
Oh, how we loved him , but God loved him more,
For He took him to that blessed shining, peaceful shore.
Dear grandfather, has gone,
But his memory will live one and on,
He was always so kind and good,
Always trying to do what he should,
He on earth no more will roam,
But we all know he's in that bright eternal home.
Where there's no more sorrow, no more pain,
And we must all live to meet him again.
On that bright and shining shore,
Where there'll be parting nor more,
With the angels he is singing
Sweeter songs than we now,
He has joined the blessed angels
And robed with garments as white as snow,
Oh, dear grandfather, how I miss you,
You will always be kind and true,
Always teaching and showing
Me just what was best to do.
We're all so sad and lonely since you passed away.
But we will all meet you on that Great Judgement day.
Oh, dear grandfather, you on earth no more will roam,
But I'll meet you in that bright eternal home.
Where there'll be no more parting
No more tear dimmed eyes.
But 'twill be happiness in that sweet by and by.
A Granddaughter,
Mrs Flotilla Clark
