The opening prayer was offered by David Matheson following which the choir sang "Beautiful Isle of Somewhere" as a request number. Speakers were M.M. Decker and George Stevens with opeining and closing remarks by Bishop H.L. Adams. These speakers all told of their life long association with the deceased and told of his many worthy qualities. Other numbers were a vocal solo, "The End of a Perfect Day" by Rex C. Ward, a violin solo by Silas Topham, both accompanied by Mrs. Ward, and sentiments and a reading by Barbara M. Adams. The sentiments were written by W.L. Adams who was to have read them but he was unable to attend the services on account of illness. The reading was "Crossing the Bar" and was read by Mrs. Adams at the request of the deceased wife. The concluding number by the choir was "Sometime We'll Understand" and Joseph E. Ward offered the closing prayer. At the cemetery the grave was dedicated by Bishop H.L. Adams.
