The funeral services at the Episcopal church Tuesday afternoon for little 
Mina, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. F.D. Gillespie, were peculiarly touching.   The 
church was filled with sympathetic friends, the interest of several of whom 
was still further shown by the beautiful and appropriate floral decorations 
that hung above the little coffin.  Rev. Mr. Anderson read the funeral service 
and accompanied it with some simple, consoling words of his own, fitting to 
the occasion.  Mrs. H.E. Kratz, Mrs. A.M. Bowdie and Messrs. Ahern and Shanton 
rendered appropriate musical selections, with Mrs. R.N. Kratz accompanist.  
Two beautiful floral emblems -- "Gates Ajar" and a pillow had been sent for, 
but by reason of the delayed trains arrived too late for use at the church.  
The afflicted parents can not but know they have the sincerest sympathy of all 
their friends in the loss of the bright little one, the light of their home 
circle.
