FUNERAL RITES FOR R.M. BISBEE HELD
MOST IMPRESSIVE AND LARGEST ATTENDED SERVICES IN CITY ARE HELD THIS MORNING
The body of the late R.M. Bisbee was laid to rest in the Sacred Heart cemetery this morning after one of the most impressive and largest attended funeral services accorded an Aberdeen resident.
A resident of Aberdeen for the past ten years, Roy Bisbee had commanded the respect and friendship of everyone in the city and in the entire Aberdeen territory, and hundreds of people with his immediate family and intimate friends, crowded the line of the funeral procession to the church to pay their last respects.
The Sacred Heart church could hold but half of the attendance at the early morning service as Rev. Father Dermody, assisted by the altar boys of the church, offered requiem high mass and officiated in the last rites for the repose of the soul of the deceased.
The procession from the Wilson funeral parlors was very impressive and the crowds of friends, not taking part in the line of march, but present in respect to his memory, wiped away many tears as the flag draped casket was escorted by.
The funeral cortege left the Wilson funeral parlors promptly at 9 a.m. Led by the municipal band, of which the deceased was a member, the attendants marched to the tap of the drums and to the funeral dirge. Following the municipal band organization, the American Legion firing squad and guards passed by with twenty ex-service men in uniform. The American Legion members followed the uniformed guard, after which the band organizations of which the deceased was instructor and director passed. The Columbia band, Tiffany band, Hecla band, Groton band, and Selby band were in the line of march in this section of the parade and were immediately followed by the Knights of Columbus and Elks club members in double file.
The honorary pall bearers, chosen from the ranks of the American Legion, in uniform, led the hearse with the active pall bearers flanking it on each side. They were Max Stokes, George Anderson, Al Bambenek, V.S. Neill, F.E. Flynn and William Guhin.
The active pall bearers were E.A. Angerhofer, John Keever, Howard Walker, Frank Randall, Eugene Honnegger and Albert Anderson.
Cars bearing the family and friends in automobiles, followed the hearse to the church, where with the voices singing from the choir loft, the casket was received at the door of the church by Rev. Father Dermody, after which the services were held.
At the grave the firing squad fired a salute as the casket was lowered to the grave, and taps were blown by the bugler, closing the life of R.M. Bisbee, but keeping his memory alive in the hearts of many.
