To those pioneers of years gone by,
A baby boy was given
To bring them peace and cheer and love
A gift for earth, from heaven.
To manhood grown, this precious one,
His mission well defined,
By precept and example too,
He worked and served mankind.
From friends he journeyed far,
He chose the pioneer life.
Faced many hardships, won success,
Shared with a loyal wife.
And now his earthwork is complete,
The Master says, "Well done",
He goes to reap what he as sown,
In that Celestial Home.

Is this on the Wood's side? It begins by saying Simeon Adams Snow, son of Simeon Adams Dunn. (?) If this is on the Wood's side, is he related to the Dunn's on the Smith side?
SMITH / ENSIGN / DUNN
Thank you. I had copied type O's from the original site. Which I have now corrected. This is a son of Simeon Adams DUNN and his 4th wife Harriet Atwood Silver.
I have a post in progress about the 8 wives of our grandfather Simeon. I found this yesterday while working on the DUNN family.
