The funeral services took place at
the residence on Sunday afternoon at
$3.50 o'clock and were in charge of Reid
Goodrich, the Rev. w. j. Cordick,
rector of St. Johns church, officiating.
The Episcopal burial service was very
beautiful and impressive.
Rev. Cordick paid very high tribute
to deceased as to his every day life; as
a man in worldly affairs and also as a
sincere worker in the field of Christian
ity; that he invariably practiced what
he preached Rev Cordick very feel
ing referred to the many kindly acts
performed by Mr.. Pardee to him per-
sonally, and as member and officer
of st. Johns Episcopal Church, guided
and directed matters with such interest
and sincerity that the result was most
pleasing to all concerned. All present
could heartily endorse every word of
the deserved eulogy pronounced by
Rev. Cordick, and to the statement that
deceased would be missed by every
body and that his place could never be
filled, all in their hearts reverently said,
Amen. The address was filled with
comforting words to all.
The music was furnished by the older
members of the boys choir of St. Johns
Church, assisted by Mrs Clinton Smith,
Misses Madge aud Hermione Silver
thorn with Miss Marion Macdonald at
the piano. Several of deceased's favor
lite hymns were sung, closing the
services with the one which he most
loved to hear-"Rock of Ages"
The services were very largely at
tended and the profusion of beautiful
flowers which filled every room of the
home, spoke volumes of the love and
esteem in which deceased was held in
the community, and in the state, for
beautiful designs came from every part
Of Wisconsin. One especially was a
beautiful wreath of roses and violets
from the Standard Oil Company.
According to the previously expressed
wishes of MIR. Pardee, the burial will
take place on the family lot at Madison
