Funeral ser vices were held at tho resldenco on Wednesday morning, and the beauti ful floral offerings attested the popu larity of the little fellow who was so soon cut down, in tho very begin ning of a life so full of promise. The Boy Scouts bore the offerings to tho grave, where the last tribute was paid by a large crowd of sympathetic relatives and friends. NUGI?)
