THE GARAUX FUNERAL
WAS QUIET AND
SIMPLE
Husband and Wife Laid
in One Grave.
LIFE'S TROUBLES ENDED

The curtain was drawn in the Gar
aux drama Wednesday afternoon, when
with simple ceremonies, the remains
of August Garaux and his wife were
lowered into double grave at beauti-
full Westlawn. Contrary to expecta-
tions, but a small crowd gathered at
the home to view the remains, compos-
ed in the greater part of relatives and
intimate friends. The curiosity seek
ers who usually predominant at funeral
services of this nature were missing.
The two coffins stood side by side
in the little Garaux home and several
beautiful floral pieces contributed by
friends and relatives adorned the room.
Rev. E. p. Herbruck in very short
funeral oration spoke Of the misfor-
tunes which had made the old mans
life almost unbearable and which led
him to the tragic ending OF Monday
morning. But little reference was
made by the preacher to the suicide of
the old man and the subsequent death
Of his wife. Music was furnished by
Mrs. ]. H. Rohrbaugh and Mrs. James
Peter while Mrs. Edward Bachert sang
o solo.
Two hearses were necessary and q
long train OF funeral carriages follow
ed to the grave. At the cemetry the
usual services were conducted by the
pastor.
