FRIENDS WALK PATH OF GRIEF TO SHANK BIER Thousands Visit Home Sun- . day to Pay Tribute to Memory of Ex-Mayor. HOLD'LAST RITES TODAY The Rev. J. S. Milner Will Be in Charge of Services | at Home. The confident lines of “Blessed Assurance,” Lew Shank’s favorite hymn, will strike the major chord in the brief funeral ceremony at Golden Hill preceding the burial of the former mayor in the family lot in Crown Hill this afternoon. The Rev. Jean S. Milner, Second Presbyterian Church pastor, was to read the lines and echo them in a brief, extemporaneous and personal emogy of Mr. Shank. Memorial services were to be conducted at the grave by Englewood Lodge, No. 715, F. and A. M. Dignitaries and the kind of people of whom Lincoln said “the Lord must love, because he made so many of them,” were expected to throng the white stucco house on Golden Hill and overflow to the sidewalk beyond. Many Messages of Regret A mile-long procession will follow the former mayor on his last trip through the streets of the city he loved so well. More varied walks of life were expected to be represented in the cfowd than possibly ever gathered at a similar occasion in the city. United States, Indiana, local officials, millionaires and the “great majority” were to stand shoulder to shoulder, leveled by the death of a friend. Telegrams, letters and long-dis-tance telephone messages of con>dolenLe°. poured into the Golden Hill ho.ne today and Sunday. Many were from actors and other friends Mr. Shank made during his career as a vaudeville star. Friends Visit Home Two thousand persons in all walks of life donned the uniform of friendship Sunday and marched like an army on the Golden Hill home. Early this morning the march was taken up again and hundreds more visited the home before noon. In sleek cars and dingy, big cars and small, or from the street car a mile away, they came, wearing the unmistakable badge of sorrow for the friend who died Saturday morning. It was a day that Lew, as they all knew, would a Sunday when all his friends dropped in. Friends Pay Homage The quiet suburban street, flanked on one aide by beautiful homes and the other by open prairie, woke early in the morning to the sound of the sorrowing cavalcade and until 8:30 in the evening the sound of friends coming to pay homage beat on the pavement. Beside the flower-banked casket in the north room of the beautiful home stood Joseph L .Hogue, former city controller and lifelong friend of the former mayor, keeping an allday vigil at Lew s last reception for his friends. Pallbearers Named Act.ve pallbearers will be: James Jtyl. Ogden, Frank Kotteman, James W. Atherton, Addison A. Parry, Dr. I M. J. Spencer and Joseph L. Hogue. Honorary pallbearers will be: Joseph B. Kealing, Elmer F. Gay, Meredith Nicholson, Hilton U. Brown, John W. Holtzman, Charles E. Coffin, Emsley W. Johnson, Frank P. Manly, Sol Schloss, John J. O’Brien, Dr. Thomas B. Noble, Frank R.
