Burial of John Romine.

The funeral of John Romine was held at Mt. Ayr Monday. Undertaker Wright of Rensselaer, who had charge of the funeral, came near having a bad accident, when in crossing a culvert the bank caved in on one side and let one of bis horses down to its body. After unhitching this horse both horses lunged off into the ditch, but fortunately the tongue of the loaded hearse broke and the latter remained right side up and not damaged. The horses were gotten out on the bank and the damage patched up, and the procession proceeded on its w’ay. The funeral services consisted of a prayer and hymn at the house. Interment was in the North Star cemetery.
