A QUADRUPLE FUNERAL TODAY There was a quadruple funeral today at Carey.The four caskets contained the mortal remains of Mrs.Richards,the mother,of her son Claude,and of her daughters,Blanche and Hazel. The obsequies took place in the beautiful new edifice of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints that was finished only about a year and a half ago,and were conducted by the Hon.W.L.Adamson,Bishop of the Carey Ward. Despite the inclement weather and the snow-blocked roads so numerouse were the mourners that the sacred edifice could not contain one-half of them. The services were so impressive that there was not a dry eye in the crowd.
