Jim & I went to Oak Park to help the Oak Park camp M.W.A.

initiate some new members. It rained thundered and

lightened so we could not get home until almost morning. I

We buried him in the Santiago Cemetary where Father is and

so many of the old friends and settlers lay. How we shall

miss him, as long as I can remember I have been near

Mother. And since he has been there we have got so used to

seeing him. But such is life. I hope his suffering is over for

all time to come.
