| “As Israel did mourn and her daughters did weep, For Saul and his host on Gilbow, We’ll mourn Colonel Field and the heroes who sleep On the banks of the Ohio.” |
And I thought of Shelby Cousin and the others, who gave their lives that we might meet thus without the war-whoop interrupting our wooing. And I wondered if our children’s children would ever realize that the deaths died at Point Pleasant made life and happiness possible for them. I prayed it might be so, for lonely graves are not so lonely if they are not forgotten.
