“Impressive funeral services were held for Mrs. Harvena See at the Presbyterian church Friday afternoon at 3 o’clock, with Rev. William Barnum officiating. The church was filled to capacity with the many friends who attended to pay their final respects and the alter rail was solidly banked with the profusion of floral tributes which bespoke silently of the esteem in which the young matron was held.
