Final Rites for Wm. J. H. Moore Held at Collins

Collins, Feb. 25--Funeral services for the late William J. H. Moore, who passed away Friday night, Feb. 15, at 11 p. m. from a heart attack, were held Monday afternoon from the Church of Christ at two o'clock with the Rev. George Adkins in charge.

A male quartet composed of Supt. R. E. Long, Rev. Duane Manning, Milton Hale and George Tiffany, with Mrs. Hugh Fertig at the piano, sang three songs, "The Old Rugged Cross," "Lead Kindly Light," and "Goodight and Good Morning."

The floral offerings were numerous and very lovely. The arrangement and care of the flowers were in charge of Mrs. K. W. Tomlinson and Mrs. D. W. Hubbard.

Ushers at the church were chosen from the high school under the direction of Principal Dale T. Peer. Interment was in Collins Evergreen Cemetery with D. W. Hubbard, Claude Ballard, R. G. Patton, George Thompson, Raymond and Roland Long acting as pallbearers.

The following brief obituary was read at the service.
