The body of T.R.

The body was accompanied here by Mr. and Mrs. Don G. Wallace, son and daughter-in-law of deceased, and his sister-in-law, Mrs. Ella Tharp, of Oak Park, Ill.

Funeral services for Mr. Wallace will be held at 2:30 tomorrow (Thursday) afternoon at the home of his son, Ross Wallace, Tenth and Locust streets, where the remains ... (can't read a few words.) The Rev. Ralph B. Noyce of the Congregational church will conduct the service and burial will be in the Atlantic cemetery.

Mrs. F. K. Johnson and Mrs. J. A. Hancox, with Miss Clara Jones at the piano, will furnish the funeral music and the pallbearers will be D. O. Herbert, Sam Childs, J. A. Hancox, C. E. Cole, F. R.
