FUNERAL OF W.F. BRUNING.
Impressive Services Held at the Episcopal Church - Masonic Rites at the Cemetery.

The funeral of Mr. W.F. Bruning took place yesterday afternoon from St. Michael's Episcopal church. In spite of the inclement weather the church was insufficient to accommodate those who came to pay their last respects to the memory of their old friend and fellow townsman.

There were short masonic services at the home of Mrs. Twinting, sister of the deceased, where the body had reposed prior to the funeral, and at their close, the casket was removed to the church with which Mr. Bruning was affiliated, and where the burial service of the Episcopal church was carried out by the rector of the church, Rev. Bohn. The services at the church were very beautiful and impressive. At the close, the casket was borne to the hearse and the procession formed for the journey to Forest Home.

At the cemetery the regular burial service of the masonic order was carried out in full by the members of Mt. Pleasant lodge of which Mr. Bruning was a member. The pall bearers, fellow masons of the deceased, were Messrs. T.J. Van Hon, J.H. Wallbank, Capt. Beckwith, Dr. McClure, Dr. Geeseka, Dr. Day, T.M. McAdam and A.J. Kaufman.

Among those present from out of the state were Mr. and Mrs. Brown and Miss Carrie Brown, of Ottawa, Ohio, Mr. W.F. Bruning, of Evansville, Ind., Mr. N. Horuff, Madison, Ind., Miss Doughme, of Cincinnati, Ohio.
