The casket had been placed at the foot of the altar rail and a huge bank of flowers covered the front and sides of the walls, That in itself was evidence of the esteem in which E.

Following the service the cortege proceeded to the Belton cemetery where graveside services were conducted by the Belton Masonic Lodge and the military service was conducted by the Harrisonville American Legion Post who furnished the color guard, the firing squad and ended the service by the sounding of taps by the bugler.
The service from start to finish was one fitting for just such a person as E. J. He will be missed not only by his family but by the great host of friends whose privilege it was to know him.
