Without clergyman or flowers, in accordance with the dying request of the decedent, the remains of the late John Moore III were laid away yesterday afternoon in the private burying ground on the Booth farm, in Ursa township.
The dead dog "Honey," which was an inseparable companion of the deceased in life, and which he had embalmed when it died, was buried at its master's side in the same casket.
When the dog died, Mr. Moore expressed the wish that he and the animal be cremated, but later changed his mind as to the incineration. The widow carried out his wishes as to the obsequies, as far as she possibly could.
B. F. Underwood, who had many views in common with those of Mr. Moore, conducted the funeral services. Mrs. B. F. Porter, assisted by her father, J. F. Daugherty, sang the anthems, "Nearer My God to Thee," and "Come Unto Me When Shadows Darkly Gather."
A requiem for Mr. Moore was said in the morning, at the Good Shepherd church.
