"The funeral was held at one o'clock in the afternoon. Rev. J. H. Presson of Lincoln preached the sermon which was a tribute to the life of this departed good woman, and was assisted by Rev. J. L. Barton, pastor of the Eden Baptist Church. A double quartet furnished the music. The members of the P. E. O. attended in a body and assisted with the services at the cemetery and had beautifully decorated the grave, lining it with flowers. The floral offerings were profuse and very beautiful, attesting in a mute way the love for the departed and the sympathy to the family who had sustained so great a loss. Many friends from this city as well as Lincoln, Osceola, and other points, had gathered to pay their last respects to a woman who was so universally loved and admired."
