One of Bubbie's friends had a torn wallet picture (the football picture above).
The school, townsfolk's, etc., got together & decided to use this
picture to pay tribute to Bubbie, by repairing
the picture, getting it enlarged & using wood from a window taken from the
old Chambers home
(the Chambers home that has
now been restored) to make a frame. At his funeral, which was held in the
school auditorium, the picture was

Our Gang
By Ben Festervan
The
Our Gang turns aside this week from its
usual mood of fun making to pay tribute
to a grand little soldier who left us last
week.
peritonitis and
then double pneumonia added its
terrible blow to finally overcome the greatest
fighting heart we
have ever seen.
A fine doctor, three
grand nurses, a host of relatives and
friends stood by and did everything known to Medical Science to aid in
the fight,
but the grim reaper won. "Bubbie” never attained great
riches. He never became a national
hero. He was not famous because of
outstanding
achievement in any special field, but every day of his twenty years added some friend
to his acquaintance, because he was a
friend to
all who knew him. More than five hundred of his friends were
present at his funeral. A stranger at
the services would have thought a great
statesman or man of
fame was being honored with last rites, but it was only a
young man who dared to live a clean humble life of smiling
service to his
fellowmen. The floral offerings, the sympathizing tears, the sincere
prayers of his many friends, attest and pay tribute to his good life.
May the Lord bless,
sustain and comfort those who mourn his loss, and may his life be an
inspiration to others to live as he lived.
