FUNERAL HELD FOR MRS. ALICE WEBB AT MONROE SUNDAY

Impressive funeral services were held Sunday afternoon in the Monroe South Ward chapel for Mrs. Alice Lemmon Webb, 79, widow of John Freeman Webb and daughter of Allumbe and Lydia Applegate Lemmon, who died at Provo February 4. The services were carried out as Mrs. Webb had requested.

Many beautiful floral offerings and a large attendance were a testimony of love and respect for the family.

Speakers were Joseph A. Smith and Nephi Neilson. Lines of appreciation by Heber Swindle were read by his wife, as he was ill and could not attend the services.

Musical numbers were, "Tho Deepening Trails," and "There's a Beautiful Country," by the South ward choir, with Thomas Ransom in charge; a violin solo, "Vale," by Max Larson, accompanied by Leslie Sorenson; a solo, "Lay My Head Beneath the Pines," composed by Mrs. Webb and sung by Thomas Ransom with piano and violin accompaniment played by Mrs. Mildred Magleby and Miss Beth White; a quartet selection, "Bury Me Near the Old Home," by Lawrence and Clifford Jones, John Magleby and Thomas Ransom.

The invocation was by J.L. Magleby; the benediction by Glyde Webb. Joseph Jensen dedicated the grave, interment being in the Monroe Cemetery.

Pallbearers were Ray, John, Karl and Glyde Webb, and Lewis James. The flowers were carried by members of the Relief Society.
