Yellowly was married to his wife's
sisterJ who has devoted her life in
raising Them and to whom they were
very much attached. Coming as it

father who is bowed down with grief
and whose whole ambition in
recent years has been tosee his child
rem grow I'd manhood and womanhood
honored by all who knew them.
All three of the victims of the calimity
We're exceedingly bright, especially
the young son of Mr.. Yellowly. AL
though ola retireing disposition and
young he was ambitious for one of
his years. He was loved by all who
came in contract with him for his
manly Bearing and neat ways. Say
ing this of him the same can also be
said of the others-all were universal
Ely liked, especially by their school
mates who felt the loss so heavily
that ~ 4ssequence school has been
adjourned until after the funeral ow-
ing TO the lack of scholars attending
its session on Tuesday morning.
Yesterday afternoon at 3.30 O'Clock
the funeral of one of the victims of
the accident took place, it being thar
of Thomas Smouse, who was buried
from ST. Paul's NJ. E. church, the in
terment being made in the odd Eel
lows cemetery. When the casket
containing the remains of the unfor-
tunate Young man was taken into the
church that edifice was so thronged
with sympathizing friends that u
hundred or more could not gain
access. The aisles were crowded and
it was with difficulty that the outer
doors could be closed. The pail bear
ers were Messrs. Stanley Boyer, John
Compton, William Browning, Bert
Wolf, Luther Brown and Charles
Bosley The caSket was literally
buried in floral offerings contributed
by school mates of the deceased and
members of the Epworth League. At
the church the services were in charge
of the pastor, Rev. r. b. Ward, assis-
ted by Presiding Elder Roberts, Rev.
William Brayshaw, of st. Matthews S
p. Z. church, and Rev. George l..
TT1,Ior Of hforly'a Nv Y,4h 4harat, ,,
church. For his discourse Rev. Ward
took as Il text Genesis 37:24, And
Jacob rent his clothes, and put sack
cloth upon his loins, and mourued
for his son many days Frequently
during the sermon Rev. Ward refer
ed to the deceased at the hero, and
praised his brave act in attempting
to resctle his friends from the water
in words both eloquent and pathetic.
AT times the immense audience was
moved to tears, even the minis
ter himself with an effort restrained
himself from breaking forth. After
the services at the church the re-
mains were taken to the cemetery
and inferred Oh a plot of ground re-
Gently purchased by the brothers of
the deceased. Here amid the sun
shine of bright winters day, mourn
ed by hundreds of friends and sur
rounded by those near TO him the re-
mains of a modern Pythias was in
tered and returned to mother earth
The soul had flown to it's Maker and
there it will be judged upon that
great day along with other heroes.
The closing act of the life of Thomas
Smouse will be remembered by the
people of Oakland as one befitting
the bravery of the greatest man ever
created. May he rest in psace.
The funerals of Kezia and Robert
Yellowly will take place this after
noon from st. Paul's NJ. E. church at
$50 o'clock. The bodies lie at pres
ent at the grief stricken home on AL
der street. Both are encased in cask
cts of purest white and coveced with
floral tributes donated by the school
mates, and members of the Sunday
school classes of the deceased.
The other member of Mr.. Yellowly's
family, Miss Emma, who came so
near meeting the fate of her more un-
fortunate brother and sister, is still
in critical condition. The father,
Mr.. John Yellowly, is prostrated and
has the undivided sympathy of the
citizens of Oakland.
