JOE CARLL LAIN TO REST

MANY FRIENDS MOURN LATE POPULAR ARTIST.

Funeral Services Attended by Men and Women in All Departments of Newspaper Work.

His mother, his brother and a host of sorrowing friends followed Joe Carll to his last resting place at Rose City Cemetery yesterday, saw the casket containing his body lowered into the ground, and watched while the grave was filled, rounded and covered over with the masses of flowers which had been sent in loving tribute.

Funeral services at Finley's were held 3:30 P.M. Friends and former associates of the dead artist had turned out in force to give final token of the esteem in which they held him.

Men and women from all the newspapers of the city attended. From every department of The Oregonian and Telegram representatives were there to show how wide and general had been Mr. Carll's popularity. Almost every walk of business and professional life was represented in the attendance.

Rev. T. H. Walker, of Calvary Presbyterian Church conducted the services, reading briefly from the Scriptures and speaking on the certainty of the Resurrection.

Mrs. Ray Landon sang "Crossing the Bar" and "Heaven Is My Home," accompanied at the piano by Miss Margaret Lamberson.

A. Y. Beach and S. C. Beach, two boyhood friends of Mr. Carll, were among the pallbearer. Milton Werschkul and Gardiner P. Bissell, two of his fellow artists, acted, as did David W. Hazen and O. C. Leiter, representing respectively the editorial staff of the Telegram and The Oregonian.

The casket was deeply covered with flowers. Nearby stood a great palette of pink carnation, adorned with sprays of other colors to represent splashes of paint and brushes. There also were a great floral pillow and a number of wreaths besides numerous sprays and bouquets.
