Probably the most largely attended
funeral Las Vegas has ever seen was
that of the late Frank A. Manzanares.
A great many citizens attended the
prayer service at the home in the
early part Of the afternoon. The East
Side Catholic church was crowded TO
the Goors and many were unable to
find even standing room. Father
Pouget, the pastor OF the church, was
assisted by Father Marri, S. j., who
delivered beautifully worded and
Apostle address dealing with the
ideal life Of deceased. Mr.. Man
zanares and Father Marri had been
warm friends for many years and the
priest spoke words that he did know
as well as giving expression to the
sentiments Of sorrow filled heart.
The musical service was solemnly
beautiful. A choir composed of Mrs.
r. C. Rankin, Miss Mareth Furro, Mr..
Thresher and Mr.. Kinkel, with Mrs.
Gise at the organ sang abide With
Me-" and "Rock Of Ages" Mr.. Robert
Sullivan sang Nearer My God to
Three" The solemn high mass for
the repose of the soul of the departed
was impressively carried out. 1t was
a procession almost a mile long that
followed the remains OF the departed
to their last resting place in the
cemetery The pail bearers were
Messrs. M. W. Browne, G. c. Gise, DR.
w. R. Upton. w. H. Hayden, D. T
Hoskins and Henry G. Coors.
The whole community mourns the
passing of one of the best, mos
kind hearted, most public spirited O.
men, and sympathizes deeply with the
sorrow of the family and relatives.
Following is the address delivered
by Father Marri:
