Henry Watson's Funeral Service









































Pastor Charles conducted a graveside service at McCamey's Resthaven Cemetary.  The volunteer firemen who attended Henry Watson's service today traveled with him to the cemetary, where they presented a very moving tribute to him for his service with the fire department.  The "bell ceremony" included the fire truck's bells' "5-5-5," which is them ringing the bell five times, pausing, then ringing the bell five more times, pausing and then ringing the bell five more times.  This symbolizes that his "shift" has come to an end, and now he is due for a well-earned rest.  Rest in peace, our dear one, you good and faithful servant!
