A SOLDIERS FUNERAL

Private W. J. Johnson, who died of influenza at Fort Riley, Kansas, last Saturday, was buried from the home of his parents, Mr. And Mrs. S. J. Johnson on West McKinley, Tuesday morning. The funeral was of necessity private, but quite a number gathered to do honor to the dead soldier, and Rev. A. A. Harris conducted the service at the cemetery, and P. A. Enlows sang a solo. Boy Scouts from B. H. S. military corps were the pallbearers.
