Steele, Mo. May 4--Funeral services were held yesterday afternoon for H. Buford Spence at the Methodist church in Steele by the pastor, the Rev. H.S. Holley, who was assisted by the Rev. J.W. Cunningham, pastor of the local Baptist church. Interment was in Mt. Zion cemetery.
Mr. Spence, who was 42 years of age, died of a heart attack early Friday evening while his wife and children were attending a school play at the high school auditorium.
