© The Verden News Verden, Oklahoma August 8, 1911 November 5, 1886 ~ July 25, 1911 On Tuesday, July 25, 1911 at the home of his father, John M. Cochran, Earl Raymond Cochran departed this life for a better one in the beyond where suffering will be no more. Dear Earl, we sorely miss him, but we know our loss is his gain. He joined the Christian church three years ago. God has called; Earl has answered. We wish to extend through the columns of The News our heartfelt thanks to our neighbors and friends for their assistance during the sickness and death of our beloved son and brother. Mr. and Mrs. J. M. Cochran Brothers and Sisters In memory of Earl Raymond Cochran, who died July 25, 1911, and was born November 5, 1886. The world we do not see; Yet the sweet closing of an eye May bring us there to be. It's gentle breezes fan our cheek Amid our worldly cares; It's gentle voices whisper love, And mingle with our prayers. Sweet hearts around us throb and beat, Sweet helping hands are stirred, And palpitates the veil between, With breathing almost heard. The silence, awful, sweet and calm, They have no power to break; For mortal words are not for them To utter or partake. So thin, so soft, so sweet they glide, So near to press, they seem. To lull us gently to our rest, They melt into our dream. And in the hush of rest they bring, 'Tis easy now to see How lovely and how sweet a pass The hour of death may be. To close the eye and close the ear, Wrapped in a trance of bliss, And, gently drawn in loving arms, To swoon from that to this. Scarce knowing if we wake or sleep, Scarce asking, where we are, To feel all evil sink away, All sorrow and all care! Sweet souls around us watch us still, Press nearer to our side; Into our thoughts, into our prayers, With gentle helping glide. Let death between us be as naught, A dried and vanished stream; Your joy be the reality, Our suffering like the dream. Harriet Beecher Stowe |
