Sad indeed we're the ceremonies
Those of John ReinhOld were especially
beartrending. It was almost lmpoSSl-
HE m prpvent some OF the family from
casting themselves into the open grave.
Rnt ~ I'M the scenes, those attending
the funeral of Edwin MllIS, Wlle anu
five children were the saddest 20 De I'M
imagined. Every member OF TINS IahlIy
WAS lost in the terrible flood. Not re-
lation or kin was left in all this broad
land of ours 10 mourn their death, even
IN Mace a flower on the graves; none 10
weep for them; none to mourn, but they
lack not kind hearted mourning ana
l heart-broken friends and former neigh
bOrs.
The seven pieces OF Clay were laid
side by side aud under the auspices OF
I 1. o. o. f., the family, united In lie
and death. were lowered TO their earth
/ ly home. No one was there 10 drop
| tear into the graves, and though unac-
COMMANDED by relatives, their last rest
/ ing place was none the less honOred'
| The funerals took the best part OF the
day. In conformity with proclamation
/ issued by Mayor Hunt, all business
/ houses were closed and most OF the
/ business houses and dwellings draped
/ in mourning. The searchers for the
dead, those cleaning and clearing
aWay the ruins and the Relief
| Committee and aides had no rest and
results already accomplished are almost
wonderful and highly satisfactory. Ihls
morning the subcommittee OF Plus
burg, consisting of Capt. j. j. Wander
/ grift. George Heard and 5. b. Robson,
accompanied by Mr.. George Hukill and
Mr.. y. +. Clark, Of here, took carriages
and drove to Titusville. The object Is
TO consult with the committee OF Titus
willie as 20 the needs and wishes OF the
people OF the whole Oil Creek valley.
The kilograms awaiting persons in the
Offices OF the Western Union and Postal
companies is another evidence Of the in
diSPutable facs that many are dead who
/ have not yet been heard Of.
st least 40 kilograms are here ad-
dressed % persons whose whereabouts
are unknown and whose personality is
/ hard 10 Identify. Most of these persons
/ are presumed TO be foreigners. This
carries out the claim that many for
| elkueFS VINO were WOIhluk III euo NuOS
works and barrel factory were killed.
Gov. Pattison accompanied by Adjt.
Gen. Greenland and other members OF
staff arrived here this afternoon. They
were met by Gen. Wiley, Mayor Hunt
and members Of the local committee. A
consultation was held and the Governor
was informed Of the needs Of the peo-
/ pie, the loss OF property, etc. An in
/ Spection Of the devastated districts was
made and il is expected the Governor and
party will 90 70 TituSville this evening.
At the hospital the wounded are do
ing better than expected although it is
I almost certain that some will die.
Two more deaths occurred this morn
ing, Mrs. Hawk and four year-old John
/ Bruenzell.
Tho Inspector Of the State Board Of
/ Health will reach here this evening and
render all the aid needed. Up to the
present time about $4,000 has been re-
/ ceiyed In subscriptions. The peculiar
feature OF this disaster is that there are
no young children left orphans. The
| children were the ones which most
| quickly succumbed to the flood and fire
aud not case Of q destitute orphan
child has yet been reported.
