Cemetery Association Shows
Unwillingness to Build
House Over Ruins and to
Renew Lease.
MAY ERECT CHAPEL
Country Club Names Com.
mittee to Select Course to
Replace Ground Wanted
For Burial Purposes.

Next Friday night there will be
meeting of members of the Richmond
Country club, whose club house was
totally destroyed by fire yesterday
afternoon, for the purpose of reaching
some definite decision on a proposal
advanced by club officers, who met
last night, to secure another location
for the club.
Several years ago the property now
occupied by the Country club, consid
cred one of the finest golf courses in
the central west, was purchased by
the Earlham Cemetery association, but
the association leased the grounds
and buildings to the Country club.
This lease does not expire for five
years, but the Cemetery association
officials have intimated that the lease
would not be extended at its expira-
tion. Club officers have also been in
formed that the association is not in
clined to consider any plan for build
ing a new club house.
May Build Chapel.
Country club officers have been in
formed that the Cemetery associa tios.
has been planning to erect chapel On
the site of the ruined club house and
would take over the property any time
the club desired to surrender its lease.
Cemetery association directors have
also planned to plat off the club
grounds into burial lots whenever the
property is available and from the
funds derived by their sale build the
chapel and beautify the grounds by
constructing a series of small lakes
along the course of the small stream
which flows north and south through
the property.
With the prospect of being unable
to renew the lease on its expiration
Country club officers have decided to
seek another location and a commit
tee has already been named for this
purpose. The club had $4,000 insur-
ance on the dance hall and verandas
about the club house, exclusive of the
! s., 600. Insurance carried on the, build.
ing by the Cemetery association, and
it also had S700 on furnishings and
fixtures. 1t is expected the club will
collect about $4,000 in insurance
which will put it in good shape finan
cially- Under the terms of the lease
| If club house was built on the
| Cemetery association grounds the in
surance money collected by the clut
would have to be applied toward the
construction of the building For this
reason the club officers are not urg
ing the Cemetery association to re
! build the club house.

number of people who attended the
services, they were conducted with
solemnity and the respect which was
felt for Mr. Russell during his life
time was evident
Rev. Harry Curtin Harman, pastor
of the church had charge of the SER
vices. He delivered a short funeral
address which was a tribute to the
character and life of Mr.. Russell
throughout. He spoke of Mr.. Russell's
daily life, as one of labor for the bet
terment of mankind and the uplift of
those who were about him.
Harman Pays Tribute.
What finer compliment could one
man say Of another than to say he was
an ideal type of Christian gentleman?"
Rev. Harman said. This could not
be said of all ministers of religion
nor could it be said of all laymen who
were professed followers of the man
Oh Gallilee, the one who was the per-
feet type Of Christian gentleman.
The two elements of a Christian
gentleman which Brother Russell
possessed were, bravery and modesty
he was heroic in his loyalty to his
convictions, born out Of high ideals Of
truth and consistent living, but he
was so modest in his enforcement Of
those convictions, a that his quiet in
fluence was so winsome as to be ir-
resistable.
"Mr Russell was a devout church
man, he looked upon the church as in
dispensible as factor in the making
of character, and that he could not
get along without the church, he was
not a self-seeker, but just devoted
churchman, because Of what the
church had done and was doing for
him. He loved his Master. his church
