The funeral services of the late Thomas John,Sr. were held from the home of his daughter Mrs. F.A. Kober, Jr., yesterday afternoon and they were attended by a large gathering of old friends of the family from Florence, Canon City and the coal camps. Rev. Burchfield of the First Presbyerian church was in charge and the service was very impressive. Three selections were rendered by a choir composed of friends of the deceased, one of which was sung in the Welsh language. The floral offerings were profuse and covered the casket. The pall bearers consisted of the four surviving sons of Mr. John and nephews as follows: Edward John, Lewis John, Joseph John and Thos. John, sons; Thomas John and Clarence John, nephews. The friends who followed the remains to Highland cemeter where interment was made, were conveyed in automobiles.
