Garrison, of Kingfisher, Okla; Mrs. Arnold Geier, Remington; and Mrs. Homer Hardy, Huntington, Ind. A brother, Bruce 8., and a sister, Mrs. Emma Lucas, both of Monmouth, 111. “Uncle David,” as he was familiarly called by his old friends, had been a resident of Remington for fifty years, and told many interesting stories of the pioneer days here. His last few years brought him great pain and distress, the past winter being one long period of intense suffering. The funeral service was • held in the Presbyterian church Sunday afternoon, conducted by the pastor, Rev. E. H. Bell, in the presence of a large gathering of friends. The O. E. S. attended in a body, Mrs. Tabor and Mrs. Geier both being Star sisters. The floral offerings were beautiful. Request numbers were given by the special choir. Interment was made in Remington.
