From The Lima Daily Times

EARTH TO EARTH

The remains of Mr. W. L. Brice, whose sad death in Denver, Col., was recorded 
in the TIMES, arrived in the city last night on No. 8, on the P. F. W. & C. 
railroad, together with the remains of his seven year old daughter, Francis, 
whose death from diphtheria occurred so soon after her father’s.  The two 
handsome caskets which enclosed all that was mortal of father and daughter, 
rested side by side in the baggage car of the train through the long journey, 
while back among the passengers was the sorrowing wife, mother, and brother.

A number of near friends of the deceased together with the pall bearers were 
gathered on the platform to await the arrival of the remains.  The transfer 
from the train to the vehicles awaiting them was quickly made and the cortege 
drove quickly to the residence of Mrs. C. C. Brice, mother of the deceased, on 
West Market street.

The remains of the child were buried privately this morning, and in the 
afternoon at two o’clock services were held at the residence of Mrs. C. C. 
Brice, West Market street, by Rev. J. H. Hunton and Rev. T. P. Johnston.  
There was a large attendance and many handsome floral tributes to the memory 
of the deceased.  The pall bearers, Isaac S. Motter, Will L. Mackenzie, 
Charles M. Hughes, J. P. Harley, B. B. Hackedorn and H. Cunningham bore the 
remains of their old friend to the hearse and accompanied the body to Woodlawn 
cemetery, where it was interred.

The Union Veteran’s Union sent a very pretty floral design – a pillow of white 
geraniums, lilies and roses, surrounded by a border of green, and bearing in 
the center the letters “U. V. U.”, the “V” being blue and the two “Us” of red 
immortelles.

About fifty old soldiers, members of the U. V. U. and G. A. R. turned out and 
marched in a body to the house and to the cemetery, in honor dead.
