OBITUARY
(Contributed

Paul Luverne Dahl, youngest son of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Dahl, was born at Lyle, Minn., March 2nd, in the year of our Lord, Nineteen Hundred and Sixteen. He attended the Lyle Public School, and at the time of his death was a Junior in the High School. He was an active Boy Scout and daily lived up to the teachings set forth by this organization. Paul surrendered his life to God four years ago, at the age of thirteen, during the Taylor evangelistic campaign at Lyle. He leaves to mourn his death his father and mother, one brother, Lloyd, and two sisters, Genevieve, and Mrs. Evangeline Krause.

Paul dear, Paul dear, lingers no more
Here in this vale of tears.
He is in a better home
Where holy angels roam
Ended his earthly career.

He loved the Saviour who goeth before,
Author of joy and peace,
Now on a brighter shore
Happy forever more,
His joy will never cease.

Earth ties are broken, fond hearts
must part.
Sad is the farewell scene.
See through the gloom, a gleam
For all who are redeemed
And by the blood made clean.

Though we be parted, yet we shall
meet
At the dear Saviour's feet,
Praise Him in robes of white
Where never cometh the night,
We'll stand in Him complete.

Friends and relatives attended from St. Paul, Minneapolis, Albert Lea, Windom, Adams, and Dexter, Minn.; Clear Lake, Mason City, Nora Springs, St. Ansgar and Osage, Iowa, Viroqua, Wis. and other points. Interment was made in the family lot at Pleasant Hill cemetery.

In behalf of the family, we wish to take his opportunity to express our sincere and heartfelt appreciation to our many friends who have showed such loving sympathy in so many ways at this time of great sorrow. To the ladies who have so unselfishly and untiringly helped in the kitchen and sent in food, a sincere thank you is extended. To the many friends who have called at the home- for the very beautiful floral offerings- and for the loving kindnesses shown by all organizations, including American Legion, Lyle Business Men, "Club Pals", Senior Class of 33, Boy Scouts and Lyle Band, a heartfelt and unspeakable gratitude is extended. May God bless each and everyone of you for the part you have taken.
