Funeral of Judge Doom
The body of the late Judge David W. Doom was laid in its final resting place in Oakwood Cemetery last evening under the auspices of the Knights Templar. Dr. R. J. Briggs, pastor of the First Congregational Church, and also a prominent Templar, conducted the services, speaking in highest terms of the goodness, charitableness and benevolence of the late Judge Doom. The choir of the First Congregational Church rendered the only two hymns, singing at the home "Go Bury Thy Sorrow," and at the grave, "We'll Meet Each Other There." The funeral was one of the largest that has been held in Austin in many years. Out of respect to the memory of Judge Doom the Twenty-Sixth and the Fifty-Third District Courts adjourned this evening. The Austin Bar Association met today, adopted resolutions and attended the funeral in a body. They appointed as honorary pallbearers Judge F. A. Williams of the Supreme Court, Judge W. F. Ramsey of the Court of Criminal Appeals, Judge W. E. Key of the Court of Civil Appeals, Judge T. S. Maxey of the United States District Court, Judge C. A. Wilcox of the Twenty-Sixth District Court, Judge George Calhoun of the Fifty-Third District Court, William M. Walton, S. R. Fisher, R. L. Penn and A. W. Terrell.
The active pallbearers were from among the Templars. All of those chosen were past commanders. They were Tom Murrah, C. J. Johnson, John K. Donnan, S. S. Shackelford, E. C. Bartholomew and E. T. Moore.
