This service was held Sunday, January 7, in the LeMars Church of the Nazarene with the pastor, the Rev. Aleck G. Ulmet, officiating. Special music was furnished by Mrs. Clarence Reeves Jr., soloist, and Mrs. George Reeves who accompanied her at the piano. Mrs. Reeves sang "What a Friend We Have in Jesus" and "Only Wait." Rev. Ulmet spoke briefly on a test from Isaiah 61:1-3. His subject was, "To Comfort All Who Mourn." He read from the nineteenth Psalm and the fourteenth chapter of St. John's Gospel for the scripture reading. Immediately following the prayer of benediction, C. B. Plummer, representing the American Legion, presented Mrs. Walter Jennings, mother of the boy, with a large American flag. Immediately following this ceremony, "Taps" was blown outside the church which formed a touching conclusion to the service. The American Legion, which attended the service in a body, formed two lines in the vestibule while those in attendance filed out between them. ----------------------- -------------------------
