MUCH LOVED GIRL LAID TO FINAL REST

With every mark of respect possible that could be given, the remains of
Miss Helen Richardson were laid to rest in Maple Hill Cemetery, last Friday
afternoon. The stores of the city being closed and their business suspended
during the funeral hours so that all, by their attendance at the funeral
might pay their last respects to her whom they had loved and respected from
her childhood to the day when Fate saw fit to so tragically call her into
Eternity.

The funeral was held at the home where amid a profusion of floral
offerings, the gifts of admiring friends, the casket was almost hidden,
while the Rev. O. W. Smith told the simple story of her life and spoke
words of comfort and consolence to those she left behind.

The relatives and friends who came from a distance to attend the funeral
were: Lyle Richardson, Canada; Robert Richardson, Freeport, Ill.; Messers.
Hyne and Richards, from Marshall Field, Chicago; Alec Richardson, Miss Sela
Dow, Miss Lucy Taylor, Mr. and Mrs. J. B. Porter and Lyle Porter, Madison;
Mrs. Lula Dixon, Mrs. Burr Tolles and Mrs. Anna Soverhill, Mr. and Mrs.
Atwood and Mrs. Alice Richardson, Janesville; Miss Elizabeth Hosmer,
Chicago; J. P. Porter, Pasadena, Cal.; Miss Caryl Montgomery, Madison, and
Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Atkinson, Stoughton.
