Speakers were Luella R. Adams, Barbara Adams and W.

Orton read Articles of Condolence from the Daughters of the Pioneers organization of which the deceased was a member.

After a few closing remarks by Elder Crawford the closing prayer was offered by Clifton Taylor and at the cemetery the grave was dedicated by Bishop H.L. Adams.
