Schutter-

The funeral of Bessie Schutter was held Tuesday afternoon at 2 o'clock from the home in Pleasant Valley. There was a large attendance and a profusion of flowers. The school children of Pleasant Valley formed a procession in the funeral train and strewed the way before the casket with flowers. Mary Moenck, Mary Randolph, Esther Pieper, and Rachael Watkins acted as pallbearers. The ceremonies at the home and grave were conducted by Rev. Oscar Horn and the choir of Pleasant Valley rendered several beautiful hymns at the Pleasant Valley cemetery.
