| Prescott Journal Miner, Prescott, Arizona Thursday, May 7, 1914, page 3, column 5 Union Chorus To Sing At Funeral Impressive Funeral Services For Little Sarah Whaley Arranged Today Members of the Prescott Union Chorus will gather around the little bier of the six year old Sarah Adeline Whaley, the unfortunate Humboldt child who was killed accidently, immediate was the response to the request that several selections be rendered during the funeral services. The services will be held in the Ruffner Mortuary Chapel at 10 o'clock this morning and interment will follow in the Citizens' cemetery. The grief stricken parents and four little brothers and sisters are all in the city to pay their last respects to the little girl. One dollar was added yesterday to the sum previously reported, making the total of $127.50 contributed by the people of Prescott for the burial of the little girl and the relief of the family. George Ruffner added to the good work by offering to furnish the carriages for free for the funeral. This charitable act, together with the generosity of Lester Ruffner, reduced the funeral expenses to almost nothing, leaving nearly $120 to be turned over to Mr. and Mrs. Whaley. The Journal-Miner suggests that it would be an act of kindness for a number of women to be present at the services at the mortuary chapel as the Whaley's have no intimate friends here. ----------------------------------- Prescott Journal Miner, Prescott, Arizona Thursday, May 7, 1914, page 6, column 4 Funeral Notice Funeral services for Sarah Adeline Whaley will be held this Thursday morning at 10 o'clock from Ruffner's mortuary chapel.
