The funeral of Albert W. PERSON who passed away Wednesday afternoon, Feb 3, was largely attended. The services were conducted by
Rev.W.M. JENKINS and were held in the church, of which Mr. PERSON was a member. The floral offerings were abundant and beautiful. He left to mourn their loss a mother and father, two sisters and one brother, besides a large circle of friends He was possessed of a bright intellect and a cheerful disposition which years of suffering did not efface and a faith and trust in God which was beautiful as it was rare. He left his earthly home but to find a better and brighter. Whatever may be the essence of heaven we may rest assured that it will afford him opportunities and conditions of eternal soul growth. The details of the passage thither are known only to those who embark in the unseen ship. We cannot tell how, nor where, nor amid what sights or sounds our loved ones enter the unseen realm. We only know that while beyond the chill flood, silence reigneth and no sound of gently dripping oar hints to us of the other shore.
