was held last Sunday when the BODY
of Sergt. Wesley Blomquist, form

dead.
The procession formed in line on
Silver street and marched to the

lowed by the Hurley City Band,
the Ironwood Home Guards, the
hearse containing the casket of the
soldier dead wrapped in the folds
of Old Glory, the mourners, city
officials and members of the patri-
otic committee of the Iron County
Council of Defense, the members
of the Hurley fire department,
members of fraternal and social So
cieties and friends of the deceased
in carriages, forming a line of
march such as was never seen here
before.
Rev. Wilson of the Ironwood
Swedish Lutheran church conduct
ed the services at the church and
also at the grave. A selection was
rendered by male quartette, a
squad from the Ironwood Home
Guards fired over the grave and the
military funeral rites concluded
with the sounding of taps.
Wesley Blomquist was born at
Montreal and on May II next
would have been 20 years old. He
attended the Hurley public schools
