The remains will arrive in Warner tomorrow morning and the funeral services will be held during the afternoon. At 1 o’clock the hearse will leave the residence of his brother-in-law, John Anderson, for the M. E. church, and will leave the church at 2 o’clock for the cemetery. The deceased was well liked in the south-western part of the county, where he was well known, and will be sincerely mourned.
