The Chariton Leader, Chariton, Iowa
Thursday, May 30, 1907

JAMES SUMMERS, a former resident of this county, but for years past has
lived in Calhoun County, died recently at the home of his daughter, MRS. WM.
DRAKE, who sent the following memorial:

"Yes, father is laid away to rest
In the silent abode of the burial ground --
Away from pain and earthly cares.

Yes, father is gone --
Gone over the river of death
Into the silent land;
Weary was the parting
But we trust that bye and bye
We shall meet again
In a world where sorrows are unknown;
Where everlasting spring abides
To live forevermore --
Thus time doth make its mark
Upon us all and writes the sad words

'Passing Away.' "
