FUNERAL OF GEORGE W. STARR
~
The funeral was attended by nearly a thousand people, a long procession of whom accompanied the remains to Linwood Cemetery, as a token of still further respect to the memory of the deceased and of sympathy to the beavered family. The pallbearers were selected from the neighbors and personal friends of Mr. Starr. Considering the large number of mourning relatives, including the widow and seven children, it was one of the saddest of the recent funerals. Peace to the memory of a good man, and sympathy for the afflicted.
