Two of the deceased's favorite hymns were sung: "Abide with Me" and "Rock of Ages". Mrs. Frank Reade presided at the organ. Mrs. Brewer sang as a solo "The Old Rugged Cross". The numerous and beautiful floral offerings bespoke of the high esteem in which Mr. Hole was held in our city and community. The Rev. J.H.H.
