Funeral services for Miss Vi Buster and Mrs. Mary Buster Mays, sisters who were drowned Thursday at Palacios, were held Sunday afternoon at the First Baptist church at Pilot Point with Rev. Mr. Smith of Fort Worth in charge, assisted by Rev. Mr. Hale of Pilot Point. The services were attended by a large crowd of relatives and friends and the floral offerings were large and beautiful. Interment was made in the Pilot Point cemetery. The services for the two sisters were held at the same time and simultaneously the bodies were lowered into the graves, which were side by side on the lot where their father and mother, the late Dr. and Mrs. O.

Miss Vi Buster was 19 years of age and Mrs. Mays, wife of Barney Mays of Breckenridge, was 29 years of age. She is survived by one son and her husband, who accompanied the bodies to Pilot Point. The death of the two sisters occurred eight years to a day after the death of their sister, Miss Fannie Buster, who taught in the schools here at one time.
The brothers and sisters surviving are: Clinton, Vardeman, William B. and Enoch Buster of Dallas, and two half-sisters, Mrs. Oxford of Jacksonville and Mrs. Jane Strawther of Anna, all of whom, with their families, were present at the services.

Several members of the party en route to Pilot Point for the funeral were in another automobile and saw the accident. They carried the wrecked party to Carrollton, where the injured were treated and another automobile was secured for the trip. None of the injuries are serious.
