The following lines were written by Rev. T.O. Gustafson, and dedicated as a tribute to the deceased:
Sleep brother dear! Your spirit has departed
To purer realms where we agreed to meet
Until the death, life’s journey has been thwarted
In love’s best castle dwells your memory sweet.
Heavenward your dear ones have been starting,
And thus sweetened all our trial and parting.
Your thoughts frequented heaven’s land so fair
With melodies we often love to hear
‘When the Roll is called up Yonder, I’ll be there.’
‘Nearer by God to Thee’, free from pain and fear
Where sin and death and parting are no more
As here on this our earthly barren shore
Yes Harry we hope to meet you there,
No scalding tears shall moisten loving eyes
‘When the roll is called up Yonder, We’ll be there’
Where golden streets in heavenly splendor lies
And bliss and joy and peace forever reigns
In concord with angelic harpers strains.
