MRS. PETER
IRELAND
FUNERAL

Those who had the privilege of at
tending the funeral services of Mrs
Peter Reiland this morning at SIS.
Peter & Paul's church were impressed
with the solemn services and the ex-
cellent remarks rendered by Rev VIM
Reding, the pastor of the church, where
the deceased had worshiped for many
years. Father Reding was assisted
by his assistant Father Leuther and
Father Feldman of Nekoosa.
The solemn Requiem Mass was rem
dered. About fifty ladies of the Or
der of Foresters were present in a
body to do honor and pay their re
spects to a beloved deceased member.
The church edifce was filled with
friends and neighbors of the deceased.
Father Reding's address in honor of
the departed one was a great eulogy
on the life, that had been cut off in
middle life which was the cause of
saddening the immediate friends and
the community as whole. A good
Christian woman had been called to
her eternal rest in that time of life
when she looked forward to many
years of valuable service to her fam
lily, her church and the societies in
which she moved.
The burial took place in Calvary
cemetery where the usual rites of the
church were rendered and the remains
were deposited in their last resting
place Messrs. H. B. Weiland, A. Su-
tor, Ed. Bodette, Louis Ule, Carson
Burt and Leonard Reinhart acted as
pail bearers.
