The Lost Of A
Good Friend
Merritt Howell who was born
Feb. 16, 1896 and went to fate re
ward on Sept. 20, of this year, was
one of the best persons I have ev
er known. He was indeed a true
and tested friend. I had known
him arounld 40 years and in all
that time have never known hdim
to be disloyal to a friend or unkind
to anyone.
To me, a good friend means
more in one's life than all the
wealth of the world; for "all the
wealth of the world could not buy
you a good friend or pay you for
the loss of one." So if you have
a friend worth loving, love him;
yes, and lot him know you love
him, ere life's evening tinge hia
brow with sunset glow; why should
good worda ne'er be said of a
friend till he is dead ?
Merritt always had something
funny to say to make one laugh;
so he filled a very important place
in the life of his friends and
neighbors by easing their burdens
with laughter. We bless the day
he was born.
"If you can make life's pathway
smoother, if you can ease the bur
den to be borne if you can change
life's tearing thorns to roses,
plain folks will bless the day that
you were born."
May God comfort the hearts of
Merritt's loved ones and help them
to realize they are not alone in
their deep grief!
