The funeral services of Aaron
Sheetz, who died Fri1ay afternoon,
were held yesterday at 2:30 o'clock
from the Kansas Avenue Methodist
church The Rev. Mr.. Scheer preached
short sermon from the text, "a
Prince and a Grand Man Has Fallen
This Day in Israel" This text seemed
most fitting as applied to Aaron
Sheetz, for, as one of his brother Ma
, sons expressed it, He was a Mason in
every sense of the word, and no man
can be a true Mason and not be a true
Christian" He was a simple. kindly
man. a friend of the poor and beloved
by them. His death is a loss to the
community which will be long felt.
The music was furnished by a dou-
BILE quartet composed of Miss Myrtle
McGrew, Miss Ethel Palmer, Mrs. J.
E. Tudhope, Miss Irene Winner. Mr..
