The wife and two daughters, Mrs. Robert Burns and Mrs. Frank Swisher, and other relatives, are left to mourn the death of a loving husband and father.

I may not know the reason why
Dark clouds so often veil the sky,
But tho' my sea be smooth or rough,
The Lord knows why, and that's enough.

I may not know why death should come
To take the dear ones from my home,
But tho mine eyes, with tears be dim,
The Lord knows why--I'll trust in Him.

So, tho I may not understand
The 1eadings of my Father's Hand,
I know to all, He has the key,
He understands each mystery.
