Younger Sleeps in Cemetery
Lees Summit, MO - The remains of Jim Younger, the bandit who committed suicide in St Paul, Minn, were interred in the family lot in the little cemetery near town on Thursday.
A brief simple service was held at the home of N.S. Fenton where crowds of people passed by the coffin.
The house was crowded and many were unable to gain admittance. Mrs. Fenton, a niece of the Younger boys, led a quartet which sang "Rest, Weary Heart."
Rev S.H. Shiffler of the Presbyterian Church followed in prayer, speaking a few appropriate words, and, then, after another song the casket was removed to the hearse.
The pall bearers were old associates of the Youngers, members of the Quantrell band, and among the mourners were several who had fought with Quantrell, Price and Shelby.
