The Funeral of Carley Lynn took place at the Christian Church, Monday afternoon, at four o'clock. The edifice contained many sympathizing friends and neighbors, and as the little casket with its lid almost completely hidden by wreaths and bouquets of flowers, was carried into the church, Mrs. P. S. Price evolved the notes of a sad, sweet, familiar hymn from the organ.
A table at the right of the pulpit was covered with a beautiful pillow of white and vari-colored flowers over which an arch carried the name "Carley" in silver foil, which was the work and gift of Mr. J. T. Plunkett, and near it rested a large vase filled with buds and blooms. The pulpit was festooned with black drapery caught up by boquets of varigated flowers, and like decorations extended around the platform, and on the door of the Sunday School room appeared a black bordered card inscribed with the words "Infant Class," all being the tasteful work of Mrs. J. A. Merchant, Mrs. John Knappenberger, and Misses Ora and Julia Harris, in honor of the deceased who was a general favorite and had been a member of the infant class.
The services were opened with the hymn "Come ye Disconsolate," then Elder J. P. Furnish read a portion of the scriptures, and Rev. J. R. A. Vaughn of the Methodist Church voiced an eloquent prayer. Elder Furnish's discourse abound with comforting thoughts, and after the singing of a hymn, the casket was removed from the church, and the funeral cortege took its way to Elliott Grove Cemetery where the interment was made with the usual solemn service.
