Touching and impressive funeral services were held over the remains of Mrs. Clarissa Taggart Parkinson today in the large tabernacle at noon.
Consoling and eulogistic remarks were made by Elder James A. Leishman, Bishop E. R. Owen of Wellsville, President W. H. Lewis of Benson Stake, Hon. Moses Thatcher, Elder H. A. Hansen and President Joseph Morrell. Each speaker spoke of her character and individual worth, her integrity and untiring devotion to principle.
The floral offerings were many and beautiful, and all that kind friends and willing hands could do to heal the broken hearts and dry the tears of the motherless children was manifested in abundance. A large concourse of carriages followed the remains to the cemetery, where the interment took place.
