The funeral was held at the family home February 6, where his friends and sorrowing relatives came to show respect to his going.He attended school up to three years ago when he was compelled to leave on account of his health.Funeral services were conducted by the Revs. Palmer and Munn.Interment in Chariton Cemetery.
He was a bright and earnest young man and in his long illness was very patient toward those who took care of him.He always had a cheery word for all and was ready to meet his Master.The going of this young man casts a gloom on his classmates who attended the funeral and all those who knew him.
