“In Town and Township – Wood River”
One of the oldest settlers and most esteemed citizens, George Honnold, was called upon to answer the final summons Monday morning (March 1) at his residence in town, after a lingering illness. Funeral services were held at the home Wednesday afternoon at 2 o’clock in the presence of a large gathering of friends and loved ones, who had come to pay a last tribute of respect to the departed friend. An opportunity was given to view the remains when the funeral cortege formed and proceeded to Wood River cemetery where interment took place. In the passing away of Mr. Honnold this community loses one of ite best citizens and the people generally extend sympathy and consolation to the bereaved relatives.
