Sunset and evening and after that the dark
And may ther be no meaning of the bar, when I embark
But such a tide as moving seems asleep, too full for sound or foam
When that which drew from out the stormy deep, turns again home.
Sunset and evening star and one clear call for me,
I hope to meet my pilot face to face when I put out to sea.

Funeral services were held Monday afternoon at the Jackson funeral home with Rev. Elizabeth Mead in charge. Interment was in the Farnam cemetery.
