SAD TRIPLE FUNERAL AT SHELBY

Lowell, Ind., July 9.—Ahlgrim Park, located a mile south of Shelby and only a short distance from the scene of Wednesday’s terrible grade crossing accident, will be a scene of mourning Saturday afternoon when one large funeral service will be held for the three victims of the wreck, Mrs. John Ahlgrim, her son Charles, and nephew, Francis Sirois. The funeral will be held at 1:30 o’clock Rev. W. P. Watt, evangelist officiating. Because of the monster crowd which is expected it was dedecided to hold the service in the park instead of the church at Shelby. Burial will be in the Lowell 'cemetery. . Cheering word came today from the bedside of little Ruby Sirois, whose injuries had been considered fatal. Physicians have decided that she suffered no serious internal injuries and it is now believed she will recover. One leg was broken and the other badly bruised. The other injured member of the party, Httle Max Ahlgrim, continues to improve steadily.
