A short service conducted by Rev. A. L. Scarborough was held at the home of his son, H. L. House, Sunday afternoon after which the Masons took charge of the body and, under their direction, it was taken to thethree thirty o'clock M.K. & T. train and conveyed to Smithville for burial. W.P. Nichols and R.A. Rugherford were the escort from Lockhart Masonic Lodge who accompanied the remains.
A number of autos also bore friends from Lockhart to Smithville to bepresent at the funeral.
Accompanying the remains were his widow and several of the children who were present at Lockhart.
At Smithville the funeral was held afrom the train and was in charge of the Smithville Masonic Lodge.
Many friends called at the H.L. House home in Lockhart to extend sympathy to the bereaved family and at Smithville the funeral was largely attended.
The floral offerings were numerous and beautiful.
