GREAT PUBLIC FUNERAL
With a thorough probe of the origin of the fire promised, Atlanta as a city is prepared to pay public tribute this afternoon to five of the six firemen who gave their lives in protecting the lives and property of their fellow citizens.
At 2:30 o'clock this afternoon at the city auditorium, ministers will extoll the valor of the dead heroes, while thousands of Atlantans, including every member of the fire department who can be spared from his task of guarding the city's property, will pay silent homage before the rive flower bedecked caskets.
Services for the sixth man whose life was taken in the Decatur street fire - Captain Caspar Ol Bone, will be held Saturday from the residence, 48 Mansfield Avenue, having been delayed because of inability of relatives to reach Atlanta in time for the joint services today.
DIED ON DUTY
The men died in the dark hours of Wednesday morning while performing their duty. Eight firemen who were battling the blaze which threatened to destroy the Jass manufacturing company's warehouse on Decatur Street were buried under an avalanche of water soaked cotton bales and flaming timber when the second story collapsed. Of the right firemen, only two were dragged out alive and it was more than two hours before the last of the dead bodies could be recovered from under the pile of debris.
While Captain Bone's funeral will not be held as a part of the public program, every honor will be paid him. It is probably that service will be held Saturday at his residence.
In addition to members of other organizations, a patrol of boy scouts will be present at his funeral and a floral offering has been sent him by that organization. Captain Bone for more than a year had been the expert examiner for merit badges on firemanship for the boy scouts.
BURIAL IN HOLLYWOOD
While the exact time for Captain Bone's funeral has not yet been set, and arrangements have not been completed, it is expected that interment will be made in Hollywood Cemetery.
In addition to today's public funeral services for Lieutenant Dennard will be held at 11 o'clock this morning from the residence, 51 Park Avenue, with Rev. H. T. Brookshire officiating. Interment will be in West View Cemetery.

This is an unmarked grave. Hollywood Cemetery has been thoroughly and systematically searched over a three year period. We did not find a marker for Casper O. Bone. This is just one of several thousand unmarked graves here.
