vice at the home in
Dorrance at 1:15 p.m. and
the main service was held
at the Methodist church of
Wilson at 2:00 o'clock,
conducted by Wm. J. Lind.
Interment was made at the
Wilson cemetery.
What God does, ever well is done!
And though the cup selected
Seem to my mind too bitter drawn,
Yet will I not reject it.
God loveth me!
I yet shall see
Sweet comfort for my grieving;
So Ikeep on believing.
