He read a number of appropriate passages of scripture, gave a short resume of the life of the deceased in Lamoni, and of his early associations with her as a teacher in the schools, closing by reading "Beyond," by Ella Wheeler Wilcox.

Dr. Seymour, vice-president of the State Teachers' College of Aberdeen, offered prayer; and Rev. 0. L. Curtis, pastor of the Congregational Church of Aberdeen read a number of scriptural passages and also Tennyson's "Crossing the Bar."

Music was furnished by Colin Ferrett in a solo, "Jesus, Savior, Pilot Me," and a quartet composed of Mrs. John Muceus, Mrs. Arthur Deny, Wilbur Chandler, and Mr. Ferrett, with Mrs. Ferrett at the piano. A short service was also held at the graveside.
