parents. Funeral servoces were conducted at the house Wednesday afternoon and 
internment was in Peacedale. Rev Wm R Thomas officiated. The village fife and 
drum corps and details from the fire department, in uniform, attended the

the firemen and the Riverside Club for the beautiful floral offerings and to 
the neighbors and friends generally for their kindness and expressions of 
sympathy.
