| Funeral services for Mrs. James Corrigan and
Mrs. Charles Rieley, her daughter were held yesterday afternoon at
2:30 o'clock from Capt. James Corrigan's residence, No. 1340 Willson
avenue. The house was filled with sorrowing friends and relatives and the
front yard of the corrigan home and the adjoining yards were filled with
people who were attracted partly from curiosity but largely through
sympathy for the bereaved.
The two caskets containing the remains of the mother and
the daughter, were placed side by side in the parlor of the residence. The
walls of the room were covered with pure white tapestry and the rich
caskets were embedded in beautiful flowers and floral pieces.
Rev. Dr. S. P. Sprecher of the Euclid avenue Presbyterian
church conducted the services, which opened with a scripture reading by
the minister. Then a prayer was offered by Dr. Sprecher followed by words
of comfort to the sorrowing husbands and the other members of the family.
Nellie Sabin Hyde, contralto and Mr. Howard Yost, baritone sang
"Nearer My God to Thee," "Sometime, Sunday," and
"Going Home to Die No More," during the services.
At the close of the service the remains were taken to Lake
View cemetery and placed in a vault. They will not be buried until the
other bodies are recovered.
The casket containing the body of Mrs. James Corrigan was
borne by Messers, Frank Rockefeller, M. A. Bradley, Harvey D. Goulder, B.
A. Taylor, C. E. Benham, George P. McKay, Caleb Gowan and V. A. Taylor.
The remains of Mrs Rieley were carried by Messers,
