I’ve chased the shouting wind along and flung my eager craft through footless halls of air. Up, up the long, delirious, burning blue I’ve topped the windswept heights with easy grace where never lark, nor ever eagle flew – and, while with silent, lifting mind I’ve trod the high untrespassed sanctity of space, put out my hand, and touched the face of God. There will be no visiting hours or funeral service per Mr. Kingston’s request. A service of committal for the family only will be conducted at the Riverside Cemetery, Fort Fairfield, at a later date. In lieu of flowers, those who choose may contribute in memory of Mr. Kingston to the charity of one’s choice. Arrangements in care of the Dorsey Funeral Home, Fort Fairfield.
KINGSLEY J. KINGSTON
