All the brothers and sisters were present at the funeral, held I the Christian church here Tuesday afternoon. The sermon was preached by Rev. L. W. Inman, and beautiful selections were sung by Mrs. Elizabeth Oeser and Mrs. W. C. Wilson, accompanied by Mrs. S. W. McNinch.

Joseph Lines was respected by all who knew him, and all join in expressing their sympathy and condolence to the bereaved brothers and sisters.

One of the most fitting remarks in regard to Mr. Lines was made by the minister when he said, “I have known Joe Lines all of my life and I have never known him to do or say a mean thing.”
The pall bearers were his six cousins, Elmer, Lowell, Clyde, Ed, Tom and Harry Lines.
