Funeral services were held on Saturday at 1 o'clock from the house, the Rev. E. J. Rosengrant officiating,assisted by the Rev. L. M. Gates. The late schoolmates of the departed attended the obsequies in a body. Numerous floral offerings bespoke the loving sympathy of mourning friends. The burial was in Oakwood cemetery.
