William H. Carter.
The funeral of William II Car
ter , who died at his late home in
Cody early last Friday morning ,
was held in the Valentine Presby
terian church Sunday , afternoon ,
Feb. 7th , under the auspices of
the Valentine and Cody lodges of
the I. O 0. F. and M. W. A of
which Mr. Carter had been a mem
ber and worker.
The Odd Fellows' service was
used , the Valentine officers con
ducting the ceremonies , being assisted -
sisted by the pastor , the J. Robert
Beale , who preached a sermon
from the text in Genesis 23:45 :
" 1 am a stranger and a sojnurner
with you ; give me a possession of
a burying place with you , that I
may bury . .ray dead out of my
sight. "
The songs rendered by the Pres
byterian choir were "Rock of
Ages , " "Oh Think of the Home
Over There" and "What a Frici.d .
We Have in Jesus. "
"The service was very beautiful ,
and of the large numbers in at
tendance fairly crowding the
church there were eighty .mem
bers of the two fraternal ( vrcler- ,
nearly forty of whom had come
down from Cody. Of these , led
by the Foresters of the Co ly M.
W. A. who were dressed in their
Forestry uniforms and carrying
their Woodmen axes , about sixty
of the fraternity men , accompan
ied the body on foot to Mt. Hope
cemetery , followed by" seventeen
carriages.
Among those who came to show
their respects and sympathy were
several families who had known
Mr. and Mrs. Carter for many
years , friends and old acquaint
ances from the hay flats. Of these
were E R. Barnes and wife , Wm.
Harmon and wife , Joe Edwards
and wife and Dan Barnes and wife
from Lake ; also A. E. Barnes
from Ainsworth and A. Newberry
from Cody.
The interment was also in charge
of the Odd Fellows , the members
of both orders participating and
dropping the sprig of evergreen
upon the casket , and the benedic
tion was pronounced by Rev.
Beale.
The bouquets of flowers pre
sented by the fellow lodge mem
bers were elaborate and beautiful ,
furnishing a fit illustration of the
deep sense of human sympathy
which earnestly sought expression
by friend and neighbor.
