The funeral of William McKin­
ley HofTmeister, the son of Mr.
and Mrs. Fred Hoffmeister, of
Eagle Creek, was held Friday
morning at that place with Un­
dertaker Chapman in charge, who
looked after every detail so that
nothing was overlooked.
The
service was of a most impressive
character, the Rev. J. F. Dun­
lop of Estacada officiating. The
church was packed to overflow­
ing and the casket draped with
the U. S. flag. The floral trib­
utes were remarkably numerous
and most beautiful, the casket
being hidd*en by them, while £he
remainder were banked high
about the rostrum.
The cere­
monies at the grave were accord­
ing to the ritual of the Eagle
Creek Grange which reverently
consigned the mortal remains of
this young man to their last rest­
ing place. The bereaved family
have the sympathy of all which
will afford them some slight
measure of consolation in this
V their great sorrow.
