SAD RITES - It was a touching scene Sunday afternoon at the Christian Church, 
where in presence of all our resident ministers and a dense audience the 
following youths, each of whom in years approximated to those of Willie Hozier, 
whose remains they tenderly bore to the chancel: Kenneth Woodhouse, Rufus 
Speight, Daniel Lindsey, George Tilley, Oscar Diggs and Willie Daugherty. None 
knew better than these youthful pallbearers that the deceased was justly 
entitled to this spontaneous tribute of respect. And all knew him in life as 
possessing the vivacity of youth, combined with the gravity of old age. Rev. 
John Newman, the pastor, preached the funeral sermon and was assisted in the 
services by the Revs. Geo J. Hobday and Herbert M. Hope. It was a noble tribute 
to the worthy dead.
