Excerpt: ...to aid his fellow-man; His brave heart to the right was ever true; Faithful to Christ throughout his life's brief span, He did a life's work, though his years were few. He bore the Temperance banner far and high; His name among Truth's heroes will not die. Swift was the stroke to those who mourn his loss, And dark indeed the cloud around his home: In God's strength only can they bear this cross, Till Death, the angel, shall to them say " Come!"
