'Tis hard to break the tender cord

When love has bound the heart.

'Tis hard so hard, to speak the word,

Must we forever part.

Dearest son, we have laid thee

In thy peaceful grave's embrace,

And thy memory will be cherished

'Til we see thy glorious face.

O, dearest brother,

'Til we see thy glorious face.

Mr. and Mrs. Kramer and children desire to thank all neighbors and friends for their kindness during the illness and death of their beloved son and brother. Also Rev. S. Kunkler for his visits and spiritual comfort, the donors of autos for the funeral, and Romer Bros. undertakers, for their efficient services.
