When I come to the end of the long, long road, And trials will all be past, I shall look in the face of my dearest friends, Safe Home in His Heaven at last." When we come to the end, the end of the road, to the land of eternity; when we come to the end of life's road, we shall know as we are known. As we stand at the portals of the new year we look back over the months that have passed and peep into one hundred and nineteen homes where the angel of death passed over and called into the life beyond, dear ones. With tears and aching hearts they laid them away in the tomb to await the glorious resurrection. To these saddened hearts and sorely bereaved homes, the sympathy of the Herald and the people of the community at large is extended. Death is indeed no respecter of persons and its hand reaches to some soon after birth, to the old and feeble, calling here and there along the journey of life. From the cradle to the grave may be a journey of a few days or months or it may reach down to the golden age. In the twelve months that have just passed, seven infants less than one years are included on the roll up yonder, with three of the teen age and three who had almost reached the century mark in life. So God in His wise judgment calls away those whom He loves, and while we do not understand now, some day the mists will roll away and then up there, all will be made clear. Carcinoma or cancer tops the list that caused the largest number of deaths during the past years, while arteriosclerosis, nephritis and heart disease followed in close proximity. Sixteen deaths occurred in April; thirteen each in January, October and November. Five persons died from accidents while 27 passed away in distant cities. The year 1932 had twenty-one more deaths than 1931.
