Many Attend The Funeral of the Late Dr. Maurice Waller, Who Died at the Home of His Sister in Chicago, Ill., Tuesday—Buried in Maysville Cemetery.
The funeral of Dr. Maurice Waller was held in the First Presbyterian Church yesterday afternoon, the body of the beloved minister having arrived at 10 o'clock in the morning. The burial was made in the Maysville cemetery.
A large number of the friends and admirers of Dr. Waller gathered at the church to pay a silent but personal tribute to his life. Huge banks of flowers told mutely the esteem in which he was held and though the audience was composed almost entirely of the older residents of the city and county it showed that his good was not to be interred with his bones. Dr. John Barbour, pastor of the First Presbyterian Church, assisted by Rev. H. Kerr Taylor of the Central Presbyterian Church and Rev. Emil Bauerman of Flemingsburg, conducted the funeral ceremony Dr. Barbour paid a splendid tribute to the life of Dr. Waller, his connection with the old First Church and spoke earnestly of his Christian life and his work for his Master.
The pallbearers were Messrs. Paxton Marshall, Ben Marshall, John Chambers, Frank Ellison, J. Foster Barbour and R. A. Cochran. During the removal of the body from the church the bell tolled in respect to the dead. A quartet composed of Miss Mary Wilson, Mr. and Mrs. J. Foster Barbour and Mr. R. A. Cochran rendered two beautiful hymns. The interment was made in the Maysville Cemetery. A short service at the grave was conducted by Dr. Barbour.
The following were the visitors from a distance to attend the funeral of Dr. Waller:
Mr. and Mrs. Ed Waller, Mrs. Judith Johnson, Miss Delle Waller, Miss Lillie Waller of Chicago; Rev. James Waller of Kenova, W. Va.; Mrs. Garnis Hunter of Harrodsburg, Ky.; Miss Phoebe Waller of New York; Mr. and Mrs. Shelby Blatterman of the county; Mr. and Mrs. John Murray and Mr. and Mrs. Frank Ellison of Manchester, Dr. A. N. Ellis of Aberdeen and Mr. Thomas Steele Andrews of Flemingsburg.
