FUNERAL SERVICES FOR
KENNETH STANGROOM
VERY IMPRESSIVE
v t
Impressive funeral services were
held Tuesday, Jan. 30, for Kenn
eth Srangroom, at the Federated
Church at 2p.m., the ReV. Norman
McCay officiating! The .church was
crowded beyond i s capacity by
people from all walks of life to
show their respect to the departed,
who passed away Into the great
beyond last Saturday morning af
ter a short illness from spinal men
ingitis.
The Rev. McCay In a most ap
propriate and effective eulogy
brought his hearers to a full real
ization of life and death and the
beauties of the great beyond and
numerous were the tears on the
cheeks of his listeners.
The many and beautiful floral
offerings bore mute test'mony to
the whole-souled love that this
community felt for him. Not only
was the fine casket literally cov
ered several feet deep, but flowers
were suspended all around, as well
as pinned to a large screen (an
Improvised room, to the right of
the Pulpit, for the mourners) and
flowers decorated the whole church,
organ and pulpit.
Besides the soul stirr’ng sermon
by Rev. McCay, other features of
the service at the church were
Richard Lee’s excellent rendering
of an elegy on hts violin, accom
panied on the organ by Mrs. An
drew Sather and Hobert Baldwin's
rendering, with much feeling, the
funeral march, on the organ. The
Misses 8o!v'g Rynning and Mar
guerite Johnson sang swee’ly three
fitting hymns, j
At the close of the funeral ser
vices the Rev. MoOay requested
the audience to quie'ly retire
wbilo the mourners spent a last
few minutes with their loved one.
The cortege then wended its way
to Belmont Point cemetary, where
the remains were placed In the re
ceiving vanlt, later to be shipped
outside.
The pallbearers were Kenneth’s
school mates, .Alden Ervin, Alfred
Lomen, Jr.. Norvin Lewis, Milton
O’Farrell, James Walsh and Her
bert Turner.
Kenneth was the 12 year old
son of Mr. and Mrs. Stuart I>.
L Rtangroom and grandson of Mr.
and Mrs. J. S. Rtangroom. He an
swered the call of the recording
angel just about the time the
evening s'ar, Venus changed shift
and became the Morning Star,
Fate, w'th young life, had its way.
“We saw not the Angels that
met him there —
The gates of the city we could
{
not see;
Hut somehow we knoyr on that
unseen shore,
Hu watches, and beckons, and
waits for me.”
To the grief stricken parents
and his sister, and also to his
grandparents, the sympathy of the
entire community is extended. Aid
to quote a Solemn passage from
Lite bible which Rev. J^cCay deliv
urrect'sn and the life“ he ^that
belleveth in me though he were
dead, yet shall he live; and who
soever liveth and belleveth in nte
shall never die.”

With a flurry of abbreviated
-kilts and flashes of shapely legs,
the Rumba Chorus presented it
self to Nome, at the Eagle Hall,
last Saturday night for the bene
fit of the Pilgrim Spr'ngs Mission.
Such grace and originality has
never before thrilled the audiences
f this fair city.
Ten various types of manly—er—
womanly beauty lightly danced
their way to fame before the lau
ghter racked crowd at the Rumba
Nigh Club.
The hall was crowded, every
table taken and many left strand
ed to s't where they could crowd
In. Many tables “were attractively
decorated with flowers or candies,
lending a cabaret atmosphere.
The piogram opened with a tap
dance executed by the Misses Rita
O'Leary and Geraldine Rude. As
proof of their dancing ability they
were encored again and again and
we can say right now that two
home town girl’s made good,
Mrs. Frank Whaley s interpre'a
tion of the Rumba was very much
enjoyed and the encore with the ^
chorus of "lovely ladies” was a
riot. Thfe Coconut Grove has no
tating on the Rumba Night Club
its program was perfect..
Melvin Alvey’s song." Old Man
River" went over b'g, he has a
lovely voice and put over the char
acter perfect. ^
The haunting strains of the Hill
Hilly's orchestra added enchant
ment to the evening. It was a
pleasure to dance to their perfect
rythtn and old fashioned tunes.
The opening nite of the RtFmba
■Nile Club was a howling success,
from the begnning to the last
Home Sweet Home dance." Here’s
hoping we may visit it again.
No financial reports has been
! made public as yet, but it Is un
ider^ood that between three and
four hundred dollars will be tum
ped over to the Pilgrim Springs
M'ssion.
