Those from out of town who were present at the funeral were Mrs. Geo. Haffenden, Mr. and Mrs. John Thew and Miss Cora Ireland, all of Minneapolis.
In Memoriam
I hear a long low murmur
Like winds in the wintry pine
A passing sigh as we say good-bye
In this lonely heart of mine.
But the murmur low
Is the passing snow
That heralds the dawn of spring
And my aching heart
Feels a sudden start,
The birth of a song to sing
So the hills will 'mind me of snow white hair
The sun, of your eyes so fine
In tomorrow's spring, we again shall sing;
Little Mother of mine.
