BOB YOUAGER'S FUNERAL.
Impressive Services Yesterday in the
Prise Chapel.
ALL THE PRISONERS PRESENT
Miss Henrietta Younger Leaves for
Lees Summit, Mo-, With
the Body.

By late change in the time, funeral
services at Saltwater over the remains
of Bob Younger were held at 80 O'Clock
yesterday, instead of 2:30, and in the
large prison chapel instead of the recep-
ton rooms, as at first proposed. The
entire body of convicts was present, as
at the usual Sunday service, and each of
the guards was in his accustomed place.
The chapel walls and pillars were pro-
fnsely draped in mourning, white bows
relieving the blackness where
the wall drapery was at inter-
walls caught up and festoOned.
On the platform were Chaplain Albert,
Warden Randall, ex-GoY. Marshall and
several representative citizens, gentle
men and ladies. The black, elOtll-cOv-
cred casket, richly mounted, and bear
ing.a floral wreath, cross and flowers
stood upon pedestals directly in front OF
the platform, and at its head sat the sis
ter of Bob, her constantly Swaying form
supported by Cole and James Younger.
the stripes OF whose prison suits stood
out prominently against the deep black
of Miss Younger's costume. The
chaplain's desk also bore emblemS
of mourning. and knots of black Grape
rested on the arms of the six convict
pail bearers. The exercises were opened
with the hymn Jesus, Lover OF My
Soul" sung by the prison choir, after
which Chaplain Albert read from the
first verses of the fourteenth chapter OF
st. John. followed by the solo ASLEEP
in jesus by George Elliott, of the
prison choir. Chaplain Albert, IN his
brief and very appropriate remarks,
concluded by eXhOrting to such life
as leaves behind it the legacy
of good example, and solac-
ing remembrance to the survivors.
The choir sang "Shall We Gather at
the River?" after which the great con-
gregation of prisoners. many OF them
plainly affected, filed past the casket
and looked upon the dead mans face.
The leave-taking by the sister and
brothers was painful to all those COM
PEELED to witness the anguish of the sis
ter and the no less deep emotion OF the
brothers. Miss Younger, accompanied
by Mrs. Samuel McCluer, of this city,
started with the remains at 5 O'Clock
for Missouri.
