FUNERAL OF FRANKLIN ALFORD. ---
Gathered To His Fathers After Many Years.
The remains of the latte Franklin Alford were brought from Elwood, Ind. to this point Friday night and conveyed to the residence of the Donaldson family, one mile southwest of town, where they lay in state until Sunday morning. At 10:30 a beautiful and impressive funeral service was conducted at the Christian Church, where had assembled a very large congregation of our people to pay the last sad tribute of love and respect to the deceased, who had for many years, until recently, been one of the most highly respected and honored citizens.
The address, by W. R. Houghton, and which we present....
At Goodwill cemetery, whose many marble shafts, monuments of granite and newly made mounds silently but forcibly tell the sorrowful story of the many broken households and family groups in our midst during the past decade, was observed the last sad rite that conveyed back to earth and laid to rest by the side of his wife who had preceded to the grave by a few short years, all that was mortal of Franklin Alford, a man whose life is an open book on whose well filled pages his children and their posterity may gaze with fullness of pride and reverence, and find therein nothing that is not worthy of their emulation. (Loogootee Martin County tribune - Fri., March 3, 1893, pg. 4)
