The funeral of Carl Hahnen was held from his home at Mulberry Street, Thursday at 4 p.m. the house was full of friends whose sympathy for Mrs. Hahnen and children at the loss of their loved son and brother were deep and sincere.

Rev. S. R. Barnitz conducted the services and in his sermon touched gently upon the sad bereavement of the death of this respected young man by drowning and the great loss to this family circle. There were numerous floral tributes, mainly from his young friends. Wreaths, anchors, clusters of beautiful blossoms, caught together by delicate ribbons. The Pastor gave the mourning ones such consolation as he could emphasized the hope that all loved ones would meet in the beyond.

A long line of carriages followed the remains to Woodland Cemetery where they were laid to rest beside those of the father Jacob Hahnen who died two years ago. Reading and prayers constituted the services at the grave. The pallbearers: Guy Smith, Will Hahnen, Louis Stitz, Ed Skinner, George Harbach, and Charles Lockwood
