Hank Monk's Funeral (Continued from Friday). Rev. Davis: "The man who knows his own natural capacities and strives to occupy the position in life most suited to the gifts, however humble, which will result in the fullest measure of usefulness to his fellow man, is a man of brains and honest purpose.

Kinkead, Stephen Gage, Judge W.M. Cary, A.D. Treadway, J.H. Martin and Thomas Condon.
