Card of Thanks
To the many friends who came !
to us in our hour of trouble, and i
contributed all that human kind
ness could suggest, to help and
comfort, we return most heart
felt thanks, and, although such
devoted friendship cannot re
move the sad memories that
linger around our vacant chair,
it brings into view the brightest
side of humanity, and throws the I
pure light of an unselfish friend
ship into a darkened home.
The tribute of respect paid by
the young men of McCrory, the
beautiful floral offerings, the eu
logistic remarks of our pastor
and his assistant, Rev. J. R. Nel
son, the consolatory hymns, the
large attendance of fellow sover
igns, life-long acquaintances
and other friends at the funeral
services, and all other kindnesses
and respects shown will ever be
cherished in our memory.
May the day be far distant
when those friends who gathered
around us will need similar atten
tion, but when the time comes
may they receive the same full
measure of generous aid and
render sympaty they brought to
our home when death was an
inmate there.
