FAREWELL TO AL
OCTOBER 31, 1908 - MARCH 3,1990
Albert passed away peacefully with Ruby at
his side. His funeral was March 7, 1990.
|
The funeral service was held at the Evangelical
Free Bible Church in Wall. Burial was in
the Rose Family Cemetery, a family burial
ground out on the prairie near the Davis
Homestead in the Pedro area. The road to
the cemetery was covered in deep snow drifts,
which had to be plowed for the funeral procession.
As the procession crossed the prairie, a
wondrous sight appeared. An American bald
eagle kept watch
from atop a high fence post. A salute to
Al from the living symbol of America,
and a "Welcome
Home" to the
South
Dakota prairie so
beloved by Al. |
