OBITUARY:
WAS BURIED LAST SUNDAY.
Funeral Services Conducted Over the Remains of the Late H. V. Matthews, of Englewood.
Very impressive funeral services were conducted over the remains of the late H. V. Matthews, at the First Presbyterian church, at 2:30 o'clock on Sunday afternoon. In the absence of the parstor, Rev. H. A. Ketchum, who was very suddenly taken ill Sunday morning, Rev. H. V. Wallace, synodical missionary for the United Presbyterian church, conducted the services, which were very simple, though impressive. Having read a scriptural passage, Dr. Wallace, delivered a few remarks which with very appropriate selections by the Presbyterian church quartet, consisting of Misses Lona White and Mina Heulat, Messrs. F. A. Wiggins and Wm. Ketchum, comprised the services. There were a number of floral decorations. Interment was had in the Rural cemetery. The deceased was for many years an elder in the First Presbyterian church, and the elders constituting the church session, served as pall bearers. A policy for $4000 was carried by the deceased with Bankers' Life Insurance Association of San Francisco.
