Thank you!∼The funeral services of Dr. Philander C. Reeder were held at the First Presbyterian church Sunday afternoon at 3 o'clock, and the burial followed at Oaklawn cemetery. The Masonic order had charge of the services which were attended by a host of friends and acquaintenances of the deceased. The different branches of the order gathered at the courthouse previous to the funeral and escorted the body of the deceased to the church where Rev. J. C. Walter, pastor of the First Presbyterian Church at Okmulgee preached the funeral sermon. The different orders then accompanied the body of their friend to the cemetery where the last rites were said.
Those in charge of the services were Woodson Norvell, worshipful master; T. D. Evans, senior warden; J. C. Monforte, junior warden; Jim Bowen, Secretary; William Lynch, treasurer, B. L. Easterly, senior deacon; Charles A. McDonald, junior deacon; J. H. McKenzie, Bible bearer; W. I. Morrison, tyler, and W. E. Garden, marshal. The masons of the city showed their respect for the founder of the local lodge by their presence at the Knights Kadosh services at the Presbyterian church Saturday midnight. Many out-of-town Masons were also present at these services.
Dr. Reeder was one of the oldest citizens of Tulsa and has done much for the development of the city in which he has spent so much of his life. Fitting tributes cannot be expressed and everyone who knew the deceased thought of him only as a friend and brother. The pallbearers were as follows: A. A. Bumgarner, E. A. Lilly, T. E. Smiley, B. F. Colley, George Bullette and G. W. Wilder.
