“They will be remembered as we knew them in the full freshness and vigor of their young manhood. And as the years roll on and the seasons come and go, each evening the school will gather here for its few minutes of worship, prayer, and praise.

May they rest in peace and may perpetual light shine upon them.”
– Samuel S. Bartlett
