A word to the Old Timers; This may be my last message to you.

       The past year should remind us that more of our friends have said "good-bye" to us and passed away than any one previous year As thinking men and women we know that the time is not far distant when each one of us shall say "good-bye" to this old world, and while we can think we should be getting our house in order and be ready when the summons comes. As we look back over the years that have gone we miss many of our old time friends.

I will mention the names of some of those who left us during the past two years:

       I have just written the name of my brother, which reminds me of my father's and mother's family. Three girls and six boys. I am the youngest boy and the only one left. And have lived longer than any of my family except my mother, who died at the age of 83.
