Melrose Street Address, Mr. Claus began playing Santa to all youngsters who
called around Christmas, asking to speak to St. Nick.

season until 1957, when he retired from Goodyear after 37 years’ service, and
began moving south for the winter.

“Mother was tired and weary,
Weary with toil and with pain;
Put by her glasses and rocker
She will not need them again,
Into heaven’s mansions she’s entered
Never to sigh or to weep;
After long years with life’s struggles
Mother has fallen asleep.
Beautiful rest for the weary
Well deserved rest for the true,
When our life’s journey is ended,
We shall again be with you.
This helps to quiet our weeping
Hark! angel music so sweet.
He giveth to all his
beloved
Beautiful, beautiful sleep.”
