Obituary
Ernest Nelson died at the age of 65 on Dec. 15, at the Plummer Memorial Hospital after a long i11ness. He leaves four brothers, Harvey, of Presque Isle, Perry of Dexter, Stanley of Newport and Henry o California; one sister, Laura Harris of Corinna. Funeral services were held at the Crosby Funeral Home Friday conducted by the Rev. Harold D. Wheeler. Services were held Saturday at Westfield, where he was buried. I cannot say, and I will not say That he is dead-He is just away, With a cheery smile and a wave of the hand, He has wandered into an unknown land, And left us dreaming how very fair It needs must be, since he lingers there, And you-O you who the wildest yearn For the old time step and the glad Return Think of his faring on, as dear In the love of There as the love of Here; Think of him still as the same, I say He is not dead-he is just away. Mrs. Myrtle Nelson
