Obituary

Instantly killed by a falling tree in the woods, Clarence Oakes, aged 28 years, 10 months, and 2 days. He was a son of Minnie and Reuben Oakes, of Westfield. On the 2nd of August, 1904, he was married to Miss Edith Freeman, of Summerdale. He leaves a large circle of friends, besides his wife, two small children, Minnie Gladys, father and mother, two brothers, James and John, and one sister, Mrs. Claude Greeley, to mourn his loss.

Death has been here and borne

Away a dear one from my side;

So early he must leave this

World, so early he must die.

Oh Clarence, dear, I mourn your loss,

I miss thee day by day;

Thy voice is stilled in silent death,

Thou art gone from me away.

I shall miss thee in the years to come,

Unfilled will be thy vacant chair;

I will look for Clarence, dear,

But, alas, he is not there.

Thy friends have gathered 'round

Thy form that lies so cold and still;

It seems, though, our hearts would break,

But, Oh, it was God's will

But I hope again to met thee

In a world that is free from care,

Whose death ne'er can enter,

But all is bright and fair

Oh, quiet be thy sleep, dear one,

In thy silent tomb resting

Free from every care,

Until our Jesus comes.

Asleep in Jesus, Oh, how sweet,

To hear that precious name.

Only a little while to wait,

And we shall meet again.

Upon that Resurrection hour,

Where all in glory stand

With Christ, our Saviour, evermore,

We shall meet a happy band.

--Mrs. Edith Oakes
