Members of the choir of the First Presbyterian church were present and conducted the musical portion of the exercises. The dead man had selected the hymns he desired to have sung. The opening one was "Rock of Ages" and the closing "Nearer My God to Thee." The floral offerings were beautiful and abundant. The casket was hidden with the floral pieces.
