Berrien Journal Era, Thurs., July 18, 1940, page 1 LARGELY ATTENDED RITES HELD FOR FRANK ULLREY Funeral services for the late Frank E. Ullrey were held Saturday afternoon at the home in the Morris Chapel neighborhood with relatives and friends crowding residence and surrounding grounds. The Rev. J. Kenneth Hofmaster of the Niles Methodist church officiated with the Rev. W.S. Wright, retired Niles minister, assisting. Mrs. Hoffmaster, wife of the pastor, sang several selections, favorites of the deceased. Those on the outside were aided in hearing the serviced by a loud speaker. The many beautiful flowers surrounding the casket bespoke the high esteem in which the deceased was held by those who knew him. Nephews of Mr. Ullrey carried his remains to their last resting place in Union Cemetery south of Berrien Center. Mr. Ullrey, a gifted bass signer, was a member of the John H. Ullrey family choir which furnished the music at Union church for years nearly half a century ago. He made his last public appearance as a signer at the Union Memorial rites held at the church on June 16, singing “Help Them Mount.” A number of local people were in the audience and heard him at that time.
