| Text | A large number of Cassville citizens drove to Verona Wednesday and attended the funeral of their fellow townsman, Walter A. Wilks. The funeral was held from the Presbyterian church and interment made in the Spring River cemetery, one of the most lovely cemeteries in Southwest Missouri. The funeral was conducted by Rev. E. W. Love of Joplin. The city of Cassville furnished four of the pall bearers, Geo. E. Joslin, C. H. Hadley, J. C. Henry and W. O. Black; also a quartet from this city, Mrs. John Ray, Miss Esther Higganbotham, Ross Stuckey and J. W. Hisey, sang for the church services. Many of the beautiful floral offerings were sent by Cassville friends. The large crowd assembled at the church and at the cemetery was a manifestation of the high esteem in which Mr. Wilks was held at his boyhood home and in Cassville where he had lived for several years. |
