The funeral of the late D. M. Graham of South Pasadena took place yesterday afternoon and was numerously attended. In accordance with the wishes of the family and in consonance with the opinions of the deceased there were no religious services. Rev. Mr. Conger of the Universalist Church made a brief address, in which he referred to the upright and honorable character of the deceased, whose views were that, at the portal of death, we stand before a great mystery. At the conclusion of his remarks there was a brief period of silence in order, as Mr. Conger said, "that each one present might take to himself this impressive lesson of death."
The casket was then carried to the hearse by the following pall-bearers: C. N. Earl, O. R. Doughtery, Walter E. Cooley, W. F. Bosbyshell and W. A. Spaulding, and a long line of carriages followed to Mountain View Cemetery, where the interment took place. After the coffin had been lowered into the grave, Mr. Earl said, "Thus we commit the body of our brother to the bosom of earth. We feel that every act of life is immortal and we hope that this is not the end."
Donald M. Graham was the first mayor of South Pasadena and was the husband of short story author Margaret Collier Graham.
