Allie M. Steen's Funeral.
Last week the News referred to the
critical condition of Allie M. Steen,
only son of Dr. and Mrs. A. M. Steen
of this city. His death occurred at
8 o'clock on Saturday morning. The
young man was conscious up to ivitii
in a few moments of his death ana
fally realized his condition. He had
made all preparations for the end.
The funeral ceremonies at the house
and grave were under direction of the
local lodge Loyal Order of Moose,
members of which order to the num
ber of 80 marched to the house from
the Moose hall. The ritual of the or
der was impressively read and the
music was furnished by F. L. Thorp,
Noah Tilghman, W. P. Merriam and J.
B. Austin.
Immediately after this ceremony
the body was taken to St. Monicas
church, where Rev. J. D. Laplante, the
pastor conducted the impressive rites
of the catholic church assisted by the
choir. Father Laplante also preached
a short, but most touching sermon.
At the conclusion of the sermon Sis
ter Seraphin of the convent rendered
most impressively and sweetly the
solo, "Face to Face," while the con
gregation was going out.
The interment was in the Catholic
cemetery, and here too the Moose
committment service was conducted
by Prof. Land of that order.
Allie Steen had lived in Paltaka all
his life and was well-known to all. He
nttonrtpri school at St. Josenh s Con
vent. During his late years he had
been active in business and was
known as a hustler. His funeral was
one of the largest seen in this city in
a long time.
