GWIN Amidst a profusion of most beautiful flowers and floral offerings that surrounded the casket, the funeral services for the late E. Frank Gwin were conducted from the Pond chapel at 2 o'clock Friday afternoon. The chapel was filled with surrowing friends and members of the Masonic Lodge of Mongrose, who attended in a body, together with an uniformed escort of eight Knights Templar, of which deceased was a member. Rev. Lester C. Pritchett of the Congregational church gave a most comforting message surrounding the thought "I shall be satisfied when I awake in His likeness." Ralph Vota sang two songs, accompanied by Loyde Hillyer, "Wonderful Peace" and "When I Go Home". A concoourse followed the remains to their burial place in the Olathe Cemetery where the Masonic burial service, was carried out. The Knights Templar acted as an escort for the body. Children of the deceased present were: Harvey K. Gwin, Montrose;J. P. Gwin and Mrs. A. Toler of Hallett, Okla., Mrs. Dorothy Allison of Grand Junction, and Mrs. Naomi Cullion, Kansas City. The bearers were brothers of the Masonic Lodge, W.D. Jay, W. L. Perkins, H.W. Wottring, J.F. Krebs, George W. Martin and W. L. White. Deceased had been an active man in the affairs of Montrose since he moved his family here twenty-six years ago. The father of a large family, he reared them to fine manhood and womanhood in this area, and they are now out in various parts of the country, taking their places in the affairs of life, all respected and honored in their respective communities. Frank Gwin followed various persuits here and was at the time engaged in the mercantile business here. He was a splendid citizen and friend--that friendship beeing attested by the out-pouring to pay last respects in his memory. Quiet, jovial, always attending to his own business, he never meddled in the affairs of others, finding so much good in everybody that he could always be heard extolling their virtues rather than giving voice to their frailities. He was an ardent Mason--he lived the beautiful teachings emanating from the lodge room. Any man who follows out the precepts taught by the society in which he holds membership and does his best to live them, is bound to be a good citizen. This Frank Gwin did and for his excellent virtue he will ever be remembered by his brothers and friends most tenderly. To his children the sympathy of this community is extended.
