All gathered in the old parlor where so many pleasant hours have been spent and had a religious service, led by the oldest brother, Dr. J.A. Landis which consisted of Scripture reading, prayer, and songs, with a few remarks. This will be a "green spot" in the life of all present and long to be remembered.
