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.
