A most beautiful tribute was paid to the memory of Mr. Frank M. DROZ at the service for him in the Catholic church this morning by Father E. F. Gaule. It is surely a great comfort in the days and months to come for Mrs. DROZ to know that the community respected the honesty and charity with which Mr. DROZ respected his fellowmen and a heritage of which their son Mr. John DROZ will always be justly proud.
