By Mrs. J. H. Vieth
We've lost a friend, a faithful friend
And member of our Grange.
Quiet now, his endeavors here below,
Home beyond, and rest exchange.
In this life of four-score years and nearly five.
The spirit of youth within him never died.
Always cheerful, smiling, friendly as could be.
Sometimes a bit funny, he'd be sure to see.
We're going to miss him and miss him a lot.
This old-time friend, the "Tommy on the spot."
Whenever funds were needed, here or there,
Quick and generous he gave his share.
We won't forget so soon the lively tunes
he played for us now and then,
As evenings with the Grange he'd spend
Playing his fiddle or accordion.
Let us profit by his life of friendliness,
This friend of every man.
As we endeavor to be friendly,
And do the best we can.
God bless his wife, bring comfort to the family.
And may He grant to all,
Reunion in Blessed Eternity.
