The sermon was preached by Dr. Harvey A. Jones, pastor of the church, who took for his text, "Precious in the sight of the Lord in the death of his saints", from Psalm 116:15. He said that the death of God's saints was the coming of life. Mrs. Hagler began her Christian life early and continued gloriously. A choir composed of Leslie Mason, Mrs. W.T. Kines, Mrs. P.D. Woods, Mrs. E.W. Russey, Mrs. A.W. Gilbert, Mrs. W.C. Bray and L.N. Harrod, sang "City For Square", "Beautiful Isle of Somewhere, and "Abide With Me". Miss Dixie Gulick was accompanist. A special song was a duet, "In The Garden of Prayer"' by Mrs. Woods and Mrs. Gilbert. Pallbearers were O.O. Huffman, Claud Sponable and Mrs. Hagler's grandsons, Lester Davis, Raymond Davis, Oltie Davis and Farris Davis. Burial took place in the IOOF Cemetery under the direction of the Callaway undertakers. There was a profusion of beautiful floral offerings sent by friends and relatives. Among the out of town people who came to attend the funeral were: Mr. and Mrs. C.A.
