FRANK L. ELMORE FUNERAL SERVICE
Funeral services for the late Frank Lester Elmore, who passed away Tuesday, were held at the family home in East Whitter and were conducted by Rev. Edwin McGrew, pastor of the First Friends church, assisted by Dr. Levi D. Johnson of the First Methodist church.
Interment was made in a Whittier cemetery beside his daughter, Lillian and Mrs. Elmore's mother. Mrs. Abe Sandusky sang two solos, "Some Day the Silver Chord Will Break" and "Some Day We'll Understand" There was a profusion of beautiful flowers bearing mute testimony to the high regard in which Mr. Elmore was held by a wide circle of friends.
He had been a member of the Friends church since 1900. The pallbearers were Landrum Smith, B. A. Smith, Holt Hubbard, A. P. Bailey, Fred Collins and Ed Sharpless. Mr. Elmore is survived by an aged mother living at Vancouver, Wash; two brothers and three sisters, besides a wife, daughter and son who are living here.
The following obituary was read as part of the service by Rev. Mr. McGrew:
Frank Lester Elmore, son of John and Eliza Elmore, was born December 12, 1869, in Howard county, Indiana, and passed from this life April 23, 1918, at his home in East Whittier, Calif. He was married to Bessie Carey, May 18, 1891, at Oswego, Kan, In June of 1893 they moved to San Diego, Calif, and in August of 1900 they came to Whittier, where they have since resided.
A little more than seven years ago, on April 2, 1911, the messenger of death claimed one from this household and the daughter Lillian went out in the morning time of her young womanhood. Two children remain, Earl, who is now in government service and stationed at present at Camp Kearny, and Edith, who in the providence of God is permitted to be the companion and comfort of the sorrowing mother.
Frank Elmore for the years past had borne a cheerful, hopeful courageous spirit in a frail and suffering body. In spite of suffering and discouragement he toiled on until one week ago when he came in from his work, placed everything in order and went to his bed apparently conscious that his tasks were all done and his victory near at hand He was a faithful man and conscientiously devoted to his duty as he saw it. Physical suffering prevented his freedom in attending public meetings to any great extent of later years, while he found it necessary to conserve his strength as much as possible. It may be said of him that with purpose of heart he sought to "do justly, love mercy and walk humbly with his God"
