Funeral services were held at the Methodist Church on January 19th, where Rev. J. M. Johnson was assisted by Rev. C. Absher of Rawlins. Interment was made in the Hanna Cemetery. The love and esteem in which the deceased was held was evidenced by the many floral offering and the large concourse of relatives and friend that attended the obsequies.
