The funeral of Alawese A. Gruver, aged seventy-four years, of Davidsburg, who 
met his death through an explosion of dynamite while he was attending to his 
duties as road supervisor last Tuesday, was held on Thursday morning from his 
late home at Davidsburg.  Further services were held in Shilo (Neiman’s) church 
and the body was interred in the adjoining cemetery.  Rev. G. W. Enders, Jr.,
