Obituary
KUITH A. DUNBAR Fairest flowers may fade and wither
Cut down by the reaper Death, Borne inid the great Forever
On his chilling, blighting breath. Tearo will fall and hearts will   sorrow
As our loved ones pass away But tbl re comes a bright tomorrow
In a land of endless day.
Where t.o farewfll words are spoken And no tears are ever shed.
There no tender ties are broken Land of Life that knows no dead.
Tho' we mourn for those departed
Whom we held most   precious—dear Tho' bereft—tearful—aad-hearted, There's a rainbow in the tear. i
