Funeral services were conducted by A. H. Leaman of Chicago. Text, Prov. 3: 17. "Leaf by leaf the roses fall, Drop by drop the spring runs dry; One by one beyond recall, Loved ones say farewell and die, But the roses will bloom again And the springs will gush anew, So in Eden's fairer clime, Brighter scenes we soon shall view."
