"The scene was one of pathos, touching reverence and worship. The little church ground was pack ed with folk from all sections of the state, from the Governor, to the humblest of the tillers of the soil of the community. The crowd was estimated at between 3,000 and 6,000, the largest ever attending a funeral in this county. “No accurate account was avail able as to the number interred in the one grave. Ail the unidentified bodiek were placed in this huge grave and some of the identified. The committee in charge of the fu neral announced that 62 were laid to rest in the graves, all together, as they had died, while the under takers, who had prepared the charred remains for burial, de- Glared that it was impossible to Ura the exi^t number. Everybody has been upset since the trag^y to such an extent that it was practical ly impossible to get coherent stories. The undertakers said 50 bodies were known to be in the grave and possibly others were there. ‘Thirteen identified bodies are to be interred tomorrow after funeral services at three places, Camden, Beulah and Antioch. Bodies of some were burned to su^h an extent that foey cannot be cognised as bodies “In addition to the one big grave, two separate funeral were held after the general services. “Long before the hour for the funeral, automobiles began arriving at the little Methodist church death may at any time call away those near and dear. “Three ministers, the Rev. J. L Bragg of Camden, the Rev. B. L, Mc(3oy of Sumtw and the Rev. W. V. Dibble of Sumter read the texts for the funeral. Following the read ing the choir sang ‘Abide With Me,’ “The Rev. W. H. Hodgee, Meth odist, of Camden, offered a most touching prayer. "Governor McLeod was in;e8ent and spoke of the great brief the tragedy had caused him and the people of the state. “Bishop Kirkman G. Finley of the Upper South Carolina Di^eae and Rev, T. W. Law, pastor of Beulah, made addresses. “Rev. F. H. Hammond of St. Charles, pronounced the benedic tion. "Just as the sun’s rays were fad ing away behind the little wooden church with iU stained glass win dows, the great throng slowly walked away from the grave of at least 50 of the best people in the The bodies wwe placed In a tre mendous box, all being wrapped in sheeting.

Cars were parked in fields, woods and everwhere around the church. "With bared heads and silent reverence the thousands stood as a mixed choir from the churches of Camden started the services with ‘Some Time We’ll Understand.’ "The grave 40 by 12 was banked high with cut flowers—wreaths of all kinds.
