Appears in "the Landmark" 3 February 1912 Grady County, Oklahoma
FUNERAL SERMON
Rev. Fleetwood of Ryan, formerly of Rush Springs, preached the funeral sermon of S.C.
Caywood at the Methodist church. His text: "So teach us to number our days that we
may apply our hearts to wisdom." We belong to God by creation and redemption. God
made us after his own image and made us for a purpose. The death of every individual
should cause the living to reflect and take heed how they are living. Are they ready when
death's call comes to meet their God? God's word teaches that such men are fools.
To the bereaved, heartbroken wife and children he pointed to the consolation left to
them, a hope of a reunion in a home where there is no sorrow, no sickness, no death. Let
us all so live that death, come when it may, will find us prepared to go.
Services at the grave were conducted by the W. O. W. Many beautiful flowers were
presented by friends and lodges. One quarter of the church was reserved for members of
the Woodmen and I. O. O. F. A long procession followed the remains to the cemetery.
