Funeral of Mrs. Dorn

Funeral services in honor of Mrs. Alice Dalrymple Dorn were held at her late home on Race street Wednesday afternoon. In the absence of Rev. Harold Knappenberger, Rev. E. D. Hulse, of Youngsville, Pa., a former pastor of Sugargrove [sic], officiated. At the beginning of the service he read several comforting passages from the Bible, closing with the 3rd psalm. Mrs. Delmar Mickelson and Mrs. Frank Richmond, with Miss Agnes Bleakley at the piano, sang, "Lead Kindly Lighe." Rev. Hulse then spoke from the theme which he said was near to the heart of every Christian, Easter and the resurrection. He spoke about the spring being the visual proof of the resurrection. Death to a Christian is a journey to a place where the people of the nations recognize their brotherhood and become heirs of God. Music. "Beautiful Isle of Somewhere."

There was a great profusion of beautiful flowers sent by relatives and friends as a tribute to Mrs. Dorn's memorly [sic] and a solace to her loved ones.
