capped Burial in Potter's Field.
That Mrs. Myra Y. Hoyt, formerly
of this city. narrowly escaped burial
in the potter's field, is shown from in
formation TO the Times Republican
from San Francisco, where Mrs Hoyt
was buried July 13 in Mount Olivet
cemetery. The guaranteeing OF the
burial expense by a friend in Spokane
Wash, caused a change in the burial
plans after the body had been turned
over to the city undertaken for burial
at an expense of 81 to the city.
Mrs. Hoyt's funeral was held from
the undertaking parlors of Barry &c
Scuily at 2 o'clock in the afternoon,
in charge of Rev. Mr.. lessen, an Epis-
copalian clergyman.
Because no funds for burial were
available members of the Mystic Shrine.
who had met Mrs. Hoyt, took up the case
and made efforts to have relatives
guarantee the expense. These efforts
We're of no avail, however. and there
was nothing else to do but bury the
body at public expense when word was
received from Spokane that money
would be wired the next day.
The body was then removed from
charge of the city undertaken and Man
ager Shauley, of the Continental Hotel
where Mrs. Hoyt was found uncon-
scious, personally guaranteed the ex-
pense of burial to the amount of $3.50.
The next day 500 was wired from
Spokane. Mr. Shauley took his chance
on receiving the remaining $50, and
the plans for the burial went on as
arranged.
Burial took place in lot that is to
have perpetual care.
