honorary pallbearers into a column of twos Services took place at the church Mr Haines advanced to the front of the pulpit platform and resting his left hand upon the large church bi ble opened the service by saying I am the resurrection and the life He that believeth on Me though he were dead yet shall he live and he that liveth and believeth on Me shall never die After the prayer the choir rendered the hymn Rock of Ages This wis General Harrisons favorite hymn and it is said it is the only one he ever attempted to sing After the services at the grave were over and the people had left
