CRAIL FUNERAL TOMORROW AT 2
Rites Will Be Held At The Home -- Interment In Evergreen

The funeral services for Mary Helen CRAIL, daughter of Capt. and Mrs. B. F. CRAIL, who passed away early Saturday morning will be held tomorrow afternoon at 2:00 o'clock from the family home at 102 North Fourth street. Rev. R. H. Polly of the Christian church will conduct the services. Interment will take place in Evergreen cemetery.

William Cupp, Fred Rains, Wm. Stever Norvel Switzer, Fred Johnson and Paul Haasler will act as pallbearers.

The passing of this young woman has brought grief to the hearts of her many relatives and friends in the city for to know Miss CRAIL was to love her. Hers was a beautiful character and she made the supreme sacrifice when for over a year she has stayed at home and cared for her aged father whose health has gradually been failing him and also cared for her mother who has been ill, thereby breaking her own health. But it was her wish to stay with them and administer to them as long as she was able.

Miss CRAIL was a faithful member of the Christian church and for many years has been organist for the Sunday School and church and was also a member of their orchestra. She was graduated from Fairfield High school with the class of 1914 and later attended Parsons college. She graduated from the Fairfield Modern business college and for the past two years has been taking special work in Parsons college. Up until her last illness she continued her musical studies with Prof. Moorhead and for some time has taught a class of music.

The entire community extends their sympathy to the grief stricken parents in their great sorrow.
