Lelius was a young man about twenty-three years of age, was very popular among all classes and had many friends who regret his untimely death. The funeral took place at Ramah Sunday afternoon, and the funeral service was preached by Elder Ringer, pastor of that church. There was a large crowd present, more than could get into the church. He was a member of the local lodge of K. of P., and was buried with the honors of that order. There were over fifty Knights in rank at this funeral, the first since the lodge was organized here, which attests his popularity in that organization. Death is sad under all circumstances but it is doubly so when one is taken in the prime of young manhood. Lelius will be missed from this community. Card of Thanks The family of Lelius Blue sincerely thank all who were so kind to, and considerate of him during his last illness, especially that noble band of Christian gentlemen, the Knights of Pythias, for their (word unreadable) and diacritical kindness, both during and subsequent to his illness; and no less mindful were they of the foregoing, by the young ladies and gentlemen in honor to hi memory, at their annual social function.
