PAY FITTING TRIBUTE.
Funeral of Miss Dodson Yesterday
Morning,

The large concourse of sorrowing
friends assembled yesterday morning
to pay the final tribute of respect and
esteem to the memory of one whom
they loved so well in life attested in a
manner the regard in which Miss Emma
Dodson was held by all. A sadder
funeral was never Witnessed here.
1t was a silent, fearful testimonial in
which whole city joined.
The service, conducted by Rev. s,
G. Dean, was indeed beautiful, and the
praise accorded in recounting the
many golden deeds performed by her
struck responsive cord in every heart.
She deserved, he said, monument
more enduring than marble or bronze,
and he believed the people of Americas
would erect in time the Emma Dodson
Mission for the relief of the poor and
unfortunate, whose wants it was ever
her pleasure to relieve; a work faith
fully performed.
The music rendered was both appro-
pirate and beautiful, her young girl
friends of the Baptist choir taking part.
The handsome casket of white cloth,
! laden with wealth of exquisite and
fragrant flowers, was borne to the
hearse by members of her Sunday
school class, to whom she was greatly
attached. The funeral cortege then
moved to Oak Grove cemetery, where
the service was concluded.
There she sleeps the restful, ftful
eternal sleep, while whole communi-
ty reveres her memory and mingles
their tears with the tears of those who
loved her best.
