Evening Republican, Volume 14, Number 66, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 18 March 1910 — Body of W. W. Burns Did Not Arrive and Funeral Delayed. [ARTICLE]
Body of W. W. Burns Did Not Arrive and Funeral Delayed.
The body of W. W. Burns was expected to arrive here on the 1:59 train this afternoon and a large number of the old friends of the family had congregated at the Christian church where the funeral was to have been held. The body, however, did not get through. Later a telegram was received from members of the family in Chicago, asking if the body had reached here. As it had not, it is apparent that some misconnection has caused a delay and it is not probable that the body will reach here before the late train or tomorrow morning.
