and fell, the boat floated of

came but could do nothing as they

but it was too late when they got the

The funeral was Sunday morning at
the Methodist church Mr. Jones took

Mr. Lea offered to see me home I was

questions about you hoped you would
not get as worn out as Mr Snow did
he lost all interest in everything
