Last Tribute
To w. z. MGrIdtt

Surrounded by those things which
throughout his active life he was
never too busy to love, sunshine, flow
ers and friends, the remains of Wal
ter T. Marlatt were laid in their final
resting place Monday afternoon in the
family plot in Green Ridge cemetery.
Friends and fellow townsmen repre-
senting all activities and industries.
and from homes in all quarters of
the city, were present at the funeral
services held at the Elks' club and at
the final Masonic rites at the grave.
Their presence and the burden of
flowers which had been the last gift
of their kindness and love, were token
of their acknowledgment of the loss
to the community of that luminous
mind" which for thirty years had
given its service to Kenosha.
AS he would have wished it, the
flowers that could be distributed were
sent to Willowbrook sanatarium and
to the hospitals, institutions in which
he had always taken an active interest
from the moment of their organization.

par and accrued interest and prem
ium of $13,357. Bids were opened in
the office of H. C. Laughlin, director

as the largest ever paid for any bond
