Sorrow Is A Salute To A Cherished Memory Never let It be said that we are lacking in sorrow at parting time but on the other hand, never let It be said that we accepted the needless agonies of sorrow either. These can be avoided by selecting a funeral director with a record of years and years of efficient, well organized and experienced service to his community. CHESTER A. FULTON & SON MORTICIANS 49 W.
