__The funeral of Anthony Staves took place at 10 o'clock this morning from the Third Presbyterian church and services were conducted by Revs. I. K. Statton and Scott W. Smith.
¹ Yesterday? That would be Monday, May 11th. However, The Cedar Rapids Evening Gazette, Fri., May 30, 1913, p. 8, a list of soldiers buried in area cemeteries, says Anthony died May 10th. That date probably came from cemetery records. It's possible that the obituary was written Sunday and published without correction the following day. But that's just speculation.
