  2) BURIAL OF DANIEL W. LANDIS: (Montgomery Ledger Newspaper)
  The mortal remains of our esteemed fellow townsman, Daniel W. Landis, were 
  laid to rest in Mt. Zion Cemetery on Saturday. After a brief service at the 
  residence, the cortege proceeded to the Baptist Church, where impressive 
  services were held in presence of a large concourse of people. The body 
  reposed in an elegant casket, and the floral tributes were chaste and 
  appropriate.  "A Token of Love" from wife and mother was typified by a broken 
  column of roses and immortelles; a beautiful floral barp and sickle and sheaf 
  of wax flowers, the gift of the employees in the store; an anchor from the 
  Sunday School; a pillow with the word "Gone" from Mr. and Mrs. E.K. Snell; a 
  bouquet from Lottie and Walter, the deceased's little girl and boy, and 
  bouquet from Mr. and Mrs. Hallman. 
  	The services commenced by the choir singing "Shall We Meet Beyond The 
  River". After the reading of the scriptures and prayer, the choir sang "Beyond 
  The Smiling And The Weeping." Rev. B.G. Parker then delivered a discourse from 
  Ps 08:5 - 'A father of the fatherless and a judge of the widows." 
  	The pall bearers were: from the church - Newton 
  Wanger, W.P. Bach, C.W. Rambo and B.F. Defrain; from business men - 
  W.C. Beacher, John S. Weand, Kinzer Van Buskirk and H.A. Custer.
