The choir sang several beautiful selections, "Asleep in Jesus", "Does Jesus Care", "Sweet Bye and Bye", and "The Old Rugged Cross", which was a song much loved by the departed one. Bro.

For more than a year Casper had made his home with his sister, Mrs. Fred Elliott, but the funeral was conducted from the parental home. A large crowd going from the home to the church where many more of his friends awaited. A large crowd accompanied the remains to the last resting place in Osceola Cemetery, where still another crowd waited. Floral offerings were many and lovely. The flowers being carried by his nieces and nephews assisted by Charles and Lou Wanda Heare. Pallbearaers were: Albin Keller, Glen Keller, Fred Elliott, Owen Heare and Moss and Alva Francis. Casper is not gone, he has only been relieved of earthly burdens. Such characters never die in the hearts of fellow sojourners. Those of us who were privileged to know him and no one ever forgot him, his cheerfulness was ever an inspiration to weaker souls who lack his inherent courage. It is a great privilege to meet a character who can carry on so great a struggle so cheerfully that no struggle is apparent. Yet Casper was all of that. I can think of no words which so fittingly end this tribute to a brave life, as Tennyson's Immortal Crossing the Bar.
