were laid to rest in the beautiful
family plot in Oakwood cemetery.
, A few minutes befofe 2 o'elock
? the hour set for holding the ser
vices ? the family residence on
Catherine street, was filled to its
utmost capacity by the friends of
the dearly beloved and highly
esteemed young man,' who had
been cut down before reaching his
majority. 'Many were unable to
gain admittance to the house, but
remained on the veranda and
stood on the sidewalk in front of
V, : ;?? v;r
the residence until the services
were concluded.
Rev. T. A. Andersen, pastor of
the Presbyterian church, con
ducted the services. The speak
er's remarks were very appropri
ate and impressive. He paid a
high tribute to the noble Christian
character of deceased, and of the
eood and pure life he had lived.
The singing by the following
quartet was beautiful : Mrs. Rob
ert Corbett, Mrs. Robert McCor
mick. John Kinkaid and R. E. De

favorites. The funeral cortege
was one of the largest that has
been witnessed in the city for
many months. As the procession
slowly wended its way to the
cemetery the streets were lined
on either side with people, who, in
silent reverence, paid their last
tribute of respect to the memory
of this good and noble young
man. The floral tributes were
numerous and beautiful.
The following young men, who
acted as pallbearers, were former
schoolmates of deceased: Algeo
Marsh, John Finlayson, Jr., Clyde
Johnson, Clyde Devore. Paul Do
lan, Orlo Buell, Dye Guvton and
Richard Sage.
Boy Run Over.
Master Eddie Holtsworth had
the misfortune to gret run over
by the Gates Tranfer company's
bus. on Wells street, about C
o'clock last evening. The acci
dent happened directly in front
of the Eureka Pipe Line office.
The lad was attempting to climb
into the vehicle when he fell un
der it. one wheel passing over
his body at the waist. Aside from
a few bruises the chlid was unin
jured. This should be a lesson
to other boys who are in the habit
of indulging in this dangerous
practise. It is almost a miracle
that young Holtsworth escaped
serious injury.
