FUNERAL OF MRS. PLANT
Services at Residence of Her Parents, Ex-Senator and Mrs. Jones.
In the presence of many friends of the family funeral services were held this morning over the remains of Mrs. Mary Plant, daughter of ex-Senator and Mrs. James K. Jones of Arkansas, and the wife of Mr. Frank W. Plant of Minneapolis. The services were held at the residence of the parents of the deceased, 915 M street northwest, beginning at 10 o'clock. Rev. Dr. J. W. Duffey, presiding elder of Washington district, M. E. Church South, officiated.
Interment was made in Rock Creek cemetery. The pallbearers were selected from among the intimate friends of Mr. and Mrs. Plant. They were Dr. Sterling Ruffin, Messrs. C. L. Magruder, Clarence Duvall, R. G. Acton, Edwin Sefton and Claude Bennett.
The casket was covered and banked with floral tributes. At the font of the coffin was a beautiful piece, "gates ajar," composed of white roses and surmounted by a white dove of peace, while at the head of the casket was a wreath of orchids and lilies of the valley standing on a floral pedestal.
At the beginning of the service Mrs. Adda K. Bayne sang "One Sweetly Solemn Thought," by Ambrose, accompanied on the piano by Prof. John Porter Lawrence. Dr. Duffy read the burial service of the church and offered the prayer, after which he made a brief address, speaking in feeling terms of the beautiful character of Mrs. Plant and of her many womanly qualities.
In referring to the death of Mrs. Plant the minister said: "That scripture which says 'Her sun went down while it was yet day' is exemplified in this sad event before us today. That one who was so fit to live should be so suddenly called from this life is a profounder mystery than anything in the natural world. The many beautiful flowers which such a little while ago graced a happier occasion have scarcely faded, and the bridal wreath is still fresh. The words of congratulation and the predictions of a long and happy life which were spoken by the friends of Mrs. Plant four years ago are now changed to words of sympathy and expressions of grief. The end has come, but the fragrance of her life will live forever."
At the close of the address Mr. Bayne sang "Nearer, My God, to Thee," arranged by Bartlett, and as the casket was borne from the room Mr. Lawrence played Chopin's "Funeral March."
Among the members of the family at the service were Mr. Frank Plant, husband of the deceased, and his mother, from Minneapolis; Mr. James K. Jones, jr., brother of the deceased, and his wife, Mrs. Corrigan and Miss Sue Jones, sisters of Mrs. Plant. The parents of the dead woman did not feel equal to attending the service.
