Funeral of Miss Sallie Neimeyer.

A large concourse of people assembled yesterday afternoon for the funeral service of Miss Sallie Neimeyer, at her home on the corner of Fourth and Locust streets. Though she had been sick a great deal and confined to her home for months at a time yet she had a wide circle of friends and acquaintances, who gathered to pay tribute to her memory and express their sympathy for the bereaved relations. The funeral services were conducted by Rev. E. E. Reed, pastor of the Presbyterian church of which Miss Neimeyer was a member. As much as her health would permit she was a faithful attendant on the Sunday services and the midweek prayer meeting, and she was "a doer of the word and not a hearer only." For some years she has had a class of boys in the Sunday school and has always manifested an untiring interest in them. It was known as Miss Neimeyer's class, though substitutes were provided for months at a time when she was sick. While confined to her home, if able, she had them meet with her and constantly kept up her interets in them and tried to retain their interets in the Sunday school. At this she succeeded well. The minister expressed the hope that the class might preserve its identity and that none of them would drop out or pass into other classes. He knew they respected her and were greatly attached to her, he hoped they would all follow her teachings. Through her many months of sickness and suffering she was remarkably cheerful and patient. Her life work is ended but her influence for good will live on. Those who knew her best will ever see in her lessons of patience, cheerfulness and service. R.
