FATHER AND SON BURIED SAME DAY
FUNERALS OF JOEL CRAMBLITT AND CLARENCE CRAMLITT HELD AT COLUMBIA
Duldey, Dudley, Ma-5. - The double funeral of the late Joel Cramblit and son Clarence; which was held at the Columbia church last Sunday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock was one of the largest ever held at this place.
Friends from miles away came to witness the last sad rites of the deceased. Interment were made in the Columbia cemetery, Rev. Fulmer officiating at both services.
The remains of the father were placed in a black casket and that of the son in a white casket. The funeral procession, which left the Cramblitt home at 12:30 o'clock, was a solemn one as the two hearses, one black and the other white, proceeded to the church, followed by numberless friends and relatives.
The remains were viewed at the church by something like a thousand people. It was the largest crown ever at a funeral in Columbia township or perhaps in Wapello County.
The six brotheres acted as pall bearers for Mr. Cramblit and the schoolmates and boy friends acted as pallbearers for the son. There was a beautiful wreath of carnations and a sheaf on the father's casket and a large wreath of lilies on that of the son. The floral offerings by friends were many and beautiful. The death of this father and son casts a gloom on the entire community.
