SHIAWASSEE COUNTY .19
The funeral cortege reached nearly from the Haviland home to the Byron cemetery. The sermon, by Rev. Isaac Horton, was as follows:
"And thou shalt be missed because thy seat will be empty. "—I Samuel, xx, 18.
These are the words of the loving Jonathan t"o David after the solemn' covenant between them had been made and when they were about to be-separated. The empty seat had reference to the royal seat at the king's table.. " Thou shalt be missed " are words of the strongest affection
