Richord Walter Gwyn
A humble, modest gentleman,
" -whoae heart was iblg enough to
hold In affection all his fellow
men; a man who knew so well
and esftmpllfled so richly the
meaning of true friendship; a
man who loved his work so much
that he disliked holidays unless
they gave him opportunity tor
an outing in God's great open
spaces; a genial, friendly man
who had a contagious and re
freshing sense of humor; a noble
and useful citizen who has left
an abiding and tremendously val
uable heritage to this communi
ty where he lived out the full
years of his mature manhood; a
great and exemplary Christian
who lived his faith in every re
lationship. of life;—that was
Richard Walter Gwyn, our friend
and neighbor, who, on the even
ing of December twenty-fourth,
slipped away into tha^ larger room
of life.
Our language seems so hope
lessly weak when we attempt to
record our sense of loss and sad
ness at his passing. To his fami
ly, whose loss and loneliness is
so much greater than our own,

we extend sincere assurance of
sympathy and affection.
His life was so vital and so
vigorous; his spirit so buoyant
with, good humor and optimism,
that it is very hard for us to
think of him as dead. Indeed, he
Is not dead; he has hut turned
a corner In the road men travel,
who make themselves worthy of
Immortality,—and passed out of
our sight for a little while.
We think the message of his
life to us is quite well expressed
by Robert Service:
Carry on! Carry on!
Fight the good fight and true;
Believe in your mission, greet life
with a cheer;
There 16 good work to do, that's
why you are here. j
Carry on! Carry on!
Let the world be the better for
. you; i
And at last when you die, let
this be ybur cry: ,
Carry on, my soul! Carry on!
