:07:02
Could turn out more than a funeral.
:07:05
I don't get your point,
as John Elder didn't get off the train.

:07:08
That doesn't mean he won't show up.
:07:10
Even so, a man isn't likely to shoot up
his own mother's funeral.

:07:15
_ Not without good reason.
_ He might think he's got a good reason.

:07:19
Besides, there's that other one
that got off the train.

:07:33
Ben, John Elder isn't wanted for
anything around here. Remember that.

:07:39
He's a gunfighter. That puts him
on one side and me on the other.

:07:43
And it was you
who told me that in the first place.

:07:54
Almighty God, we commend the soul
:07:57
of our dear and pretty sister departed,
Katie Elder, into your care,

:08:02
as we commit her body to the ground
beside her loved husband.

:08:07
Katie Elder, a woman beloved of all.
:08:12
A hard_working, honest woman.
:08:15
She helped in your work,
O Lord, in a thousand ways.

:08:19
She was a friend to all,
a comforter to the sick.

:08:23
She has left this world a little better
for having lived in it.

:08:27
Those who knew her and loved her
:08:30
are better for having lived
in the warmth of her understanding.

:08:34
Katie Elder lived here in Clearwater
for many years.

:08:38
All of us gathered here today
knew her well.

:08:41
She raised four sons, John, Tom,
Matt and Bud, the youngest.

:08:47
She was a woman
who wanted nothing for herself,

:08:50
wanted only to give
rather than to receive.

:08:54
She devoted her life
to helping her family, her friends.

:08:59
Earth to earth,
ashes to ashes, dust to dust.
