The love and esteem in which Emily Kempf, wife of City Clerk J. Phil Bannigan was held, was evidenced in a most impressive manner when her funeral was conducted in the Church of St. Francis deSales at 9:30 this forenoon. The church was filled with mourning friends, sorrowing relatives and acquaintances who gathered to pay final tribute to the deceased, and in the heart of each there was grief and ~unreadable~ that are so well beloved and of such beautiful character had to be brought before the altar of God for the chanting of the funeral mass. Resting in her arms in the casket was the body of the new-born infant, Rose Anna, whose coming had taken the mother from life, and this thought gave feelings of ~unreadable~ to those who had assembled to pray and to pay the best tribute of Christians to a beloved friend. It was probably the largest funeral gathering that ever assembled at the church.
Service was held at the family residence at 27 Summit Place at 9 o'clock this morning. The solemn requiem mass was celebrated by Rev. Daniel Drody(?), pastor of the church, with Rev. Joseph Lechner of St. Mary's Church as deacon. Rev. Thomas Driscoll of the Church of St. Francis deSales as sub-deacon, and Rev. Walter Boyle of Taberg master of ceremonies. In the sanctuary , then, was Rev. Robert J. Bogan of St. John's Church. Prof. M.P. Champeau, was at the organ, and the church choir, augmented, sang the mass with an appropriateness that appealed to all. Dr. Frank P. Cavallo, whose voice lent impressive beauty to the service in the solos given at the offertory and at the completion of the mass as the funeral cortege left the church.
The bearers were brothers and brothers-in-law of the deceased. Dr. Frederick M. Kempf, Dr. Raymond A. Kempf, Charles S. Kempf and William Kempf, Thomas J. Bannigan and Aloysius J. Bannigan. Among the mourners were city officials and a number of out of town friends, including men who are well known in the business and political life of the State.
The floral tributes, unusually numerous and beautiful in a most expressive way, told of the love held for the deceased by those who were dearest friends in life. They included a wreath of ~unreadable~ and roses six feet in diameter from the friends of City Clerk Bannigan in the City Hall; a large floral crops from President Stetson and members of the Common Council, other dozens from the City Clerks Association of the State of New York, from Mayor Baker(?), Commissioner T.V. Church, members of the Public Works Department, Park Commissioner W.F. Bensberg, Postmaster Thomas Wheeler, Republican County Chairman Gary Willard, City Clerk Fleeter of Watertown, City Clerk MacMaster of Rome and Controller Reusswig.
The interment was made in the family plot in Calvary Cemetery, where real absolution was pronounced by Father Driscoll and whereupon ~unreadable~ was a benediction to her family and a blessing to her friends.
