FUNERAL OF BOY IS
LARGELY ATTENDED

Community Band and School Children at
Services for Albert Roy Little

TWO TAVERNS, Sept. 28. – Largely attended funeral services were held at Grace 
Lutheran church, Monday afternoon, for Albert Roy Little, son of Mr. and Mrs. 
George Little, who died at the Warner Hospital, last Saturday.

Short services were held at the home of his parents after which the cortege 
proceeded to the church, where further services were held.  Interment at the 
church followed.

Young Little was a member of the Mt. Joy Community Band and the members of that 
organization in uniform preceded the hearse from the home to the church.  At the 
church the band members lined up on both sides of the walk leading to the 
entrance to the church and stood with uncovered heads while the casket was taken 
into the edifice.

The Two Taverns schools were closed for the afternoon and the children attended 
the services in a body.  Albert was a member of the eighth grade at the time of 
his death.  Miss Olivia Newman is the teacher.  The church was filled to 
capacity when the Rev. George H. Eveler delivered the sermon.

After the casket had been lowered into the grave in the cemetery adjoining the 
church, the Mt. Joy Band played the selection “Nearer My God to Thee.”

Young Little was admitted to the Warner Hospital last Friday suffering with 
gangrene appendicitis and was operated upon the same afternoon.  Death followed 
at 8:12 o’clock Saturday morning.  He was 14 years old.

The pall bearers were Alton Motter, John Trostle, Clarence Hartlaub, Paul 
Whorley, Glenn Bowers and Glenn Shriver.
