Lemuel P.Putnam, Ofiiciating [sic] Nelle Clark, Organist Bearers Albert W. Turville Stanford Laughlin Fred C. Turville Millard Rife Concluding Services Lincoln Memorial Park The Beyond It seemeth such a little way to me Across to that strange country, The Beyond; And yet, not strange, for it has grown to be The home of those of whom I am so fond. And so for me there is no Death; It is but crossing, with abated breath, A little strip of sea, To find one's loved ones waiting on the shore More beautiful, more precious than before. Ella Wheeler Wilcox
