The pall barriers were Mrs. Annie Anderson, Mrs. Kate Cox, Mrs. Susie Wilson, Mrs. Ida Voorhies, Mrs. Emma Shellman, Miss Bell Chezum, and never did a company of ladies carry to the grave a more devoted wife and mother. After brief services at the grave, Rev. C.R. Workman promounced the benediction and the large congregation went away from the last resting place of the dead, taking with them that all will reach the end of the earthly journey and go out into the land of which we know nothing only what God has revealed into us.
