[O [V 1890, JUNE. 9 THE MCAFEES. Saul and Jonatlian, bezlutiful i11 their lives, in d-eath they were not divided. \ithin the same week they entered the gates of pearl. Their life work was en.ded. Their laebors and prayers, with Gods blessing, were rewarded With success. They lie side by side in the cemetery below-and side by side they kneel before the throne. I sang my C-oroiiacli over their graves. I copy it from my "Legend of 1arkvi1le: C-ORONACH. In your lives ye were peerless, And in death not divided; For the right ye were fearless,. And for God were decided. You have gone where vex-ation Your cio~mAn1union cant sever, And where peace and salvation S11-all be yours and forever. Let the shepherd be taken, And the ock will be scattered: And the ship is f~orsa:l:en Vhen its rudder is slhattered. But your prayers have been heeded. And your Work shall not perish; For the Lord when most needed Vill deliver and cherish. Ve have come here to cover Your dear forms neath the sod; But your spirits now hover Round the throne of your God. We are left brok~en-lherarted. But our tears will soon cease; For the Work ye have started Shall go on and increase. (fhildren of Dr. MC.-X-fee: I. LOVYELL .IASO~l MCAFEE, b. June 6. 1860; nid Sept. 28, 1887.
