Sylvester, of the ward bishopric officiated. The speakers were C.A. White of Monore and Bishop Leon T.

Appropriate musical numbers, requested by the family were two selections by a quartet composed of Mrs. Jetta Marquardson, Mrs. Minnie Sylvester, H.J. Kotter and Clynn Thurston; Mina and Thelma Bell sang a duet; Mr. Thurston sang a solo, and Mrs Marquardson and Mrs. Sylvester rendered a vocal duet. The opening prayer was by Patriarch J.I. Jensen, and the closing prayer by Patriarch H.H. Bell of Glenwood.
Burial was in the Elsinore Cemetery, where Frank D. Gunn dedicated the grave.
