His body was brought home Saturday. Funeral services were held Monday morning in Holy Family Church where solemn services were conducted for the deceased. The different societies participated at the funeral, which was one of the largest Willard ever witnessed. The body was laid to rest in the Catholic Cemetery at Willard. Greenwood Gleaner.
