IMPRESSIVE SERVICE FOR DE
PARTED YOUNG SEWARD
RESIDENT
The funeral services lor NelUe
Protzman, conducted by her fra- j
' ternity sisters of the Eastern Star,
ft vere beautiful and very impres- 1
y sive and the large hall, in Odd
Fellows building where the ser- |
vices were held yesterday after- :
noon, was almost too small to take
care of the many who attended
to bid farewell to the departed girl
who left so many friends behind.
The Jesse Lee Home quartette
rendered appropriate music which
we 3 icilowed by the Revere id
Gailey opening with an earnest
reading of the Scriptures, wev-j
arend Hatten then spoke a brief j
message full of comfort, from
{Luke 4:18) “The Spirit of the
Lord is Upon Me,—Because,—He
Hath Sent Me to Heal the Broken- J
hearted.”)
Mr* King then rendered a ten- ;
del- snjo. The remainder of the ser
vice was given by the Eastern Star
members who were grouped about
the coffin which was covered with
an abundance of flowers and floral
wreaths. i
Off, ers of the Order of East-,
ern Star, Mrs. Painter, Mrs. Ban
bury and Mrs. Swetmann, read the
[impressive rites; then Mrs. Hor
izon led in prayer, after which the
five points of the Star, each rep
resent‘nr" a eic r ° i d
virtue—Mrs. Shea, blue; Mrs. Ros
ness, yellow; Mrs. Malloy, white;
Mrs. Lechner, green, Mrs. Amend,
red—recited a short poem, and
placed a flower, a symbol of their
tribute of love and fidelity to the
jrnniw n* f-'-'o ciPT)<i.rt,oH sister.
The prevailing sentiment of the
whole service was that the body
of the faithful rests In sleep till
.he resurrection to immortality
and the spirit, tho at home in its
abode of felicity and eternal bliss,
her spirit’s influence yet pervades
the scene and lives as it came in
contact while here on earth, leav
ing a sweet fragrance of its vir
tues and service of love.
The affection in which Mrs.
C ’raid Protzman was held bv the
towns people was nmnlv testified j
not onlv hv the large number at
tending the services but bv the
evidence of the tears streaming
from the down-cast eves of
all; a sight which created an
overwhelming sense of sorrow up
on the heart; a feeling entirely
unknown excepting where a per
sonal loss has been felt. And
this was so in the loss of this be
loved young mother of Seward.
The family of the departed, and
close relatives, appeared to be
comforted much by the beautiful j
-ervices but the grief of the moth
er of Nellie. Mrs. Charles Sheldon,
was such that it broke down the
reserve of some of the strongest
present.
At the conclusion of the service
the casket was borne by the pall
bearers to the hearse and, escort
ed by a long line of automobiles,
the procession slowly wound its
wav to the Seward cemetery where
[interment was made in a pretty
snot in the Masonic plot. A few
more werds of love, the gentle
placing of flowers and wreaths
upon the casket and grave, and
■‘he departed was lowerede to her
eternal rest.
