FUNERAL OF E.L. BIERBOWER
The funeral of Ellis L. Bierbower, was held from the family home, 210 South 32nd street, yesterday. The services were very simple, consisting only of the reading of the funeral service of the Episcopal church and prayer. Rev. Father Williams of St. Barnabas Church read the service and made an earnest prayer. The casket was banked about with flowers, which also rested on tables and every available place in the rooms. The lower floor of the house was completely filled with the many intimate friends and business associates of the deceased, who represented every department of the city's commercial, professional, and official life.
The casket was conveyed to Prospect Hill cemetery, where it was interred with simply the reading of the church burial service.
The following gentleman acted as pall bearers: J.A. Monroe, Victor Caldwell, Jo Barton, Charles Hill, Frank Hamilton, Charles Towle, Robert W. Patrick, Henry Sharp. The honorary pall bearers were: H.G. Burt, Levi Carter, W.V. Morse, E. L. Stone, J. R. Buchanan, J. N. Cornish.
