FUNERAL OF CLAY GREER

The remains of Clay Greer were brought from Sioux City on Wednesday, Masonic
services having been held in Sioux City on Tuesday, and taken to the family
home on Plymouth street. The services were conducted by his Masonic brothers
at LeMars, brief services being conducted by Rev. Wm. G. Moore, pastor of
the First Presbyterian Church. The funeral was attended by a large numb of
life time acquaintances who mingled their sorrow with the bereaved ones and
paid a last tribute to his memory.

The floral decorations were beautiful and numerous, the casket being covered
with the choicest tokens which bore eloquent tribute of the donor’s sympathy
and love for one who had been sadly stricken just when life’s journey had
begun.

The pall bearers were selected from among his old schoolmates and friends
and were: Fred H. Becker, R. J. Koehler, R. B. Dalton, Guy Struble, Emil
Laux, and Bert Freeman.
