    3. Bloomington (Bloomington, Monroe County, Indiana) Daily Telephone, June 20, 1928, pgs. 1 & 8. Note: Because of the length of the item and its being divided into sections with their own headings, I am dividing the posts into multiple items, using the sections and their headings. The newspaper story covers one full-page column on page 1 and the greater part of three full-page columns on page 8. Double Funeral Hacker Family To the home of Mr. and Mrs. John Hacker, 1112 north Jackson street, the news of the tragedy was carried in a short time after it reached town. The aged father and mother heard the worst possible news-that both sons had been instantly killed. The news was sent to other relatives and the relatives gathered at the Day funeral home to make arrangements for the funeral. It was decided to have a double funeral at the home of the parents Thursday afternoon at 2 o'clock. The burial of the two men will be in Valhalla and the same pallbearers will carry both caskets to the grave. The pall bearers will be Glen Baugh, Ernest Higgins, Harry Jones, Ray Higgins, Ivan Tincher and James Higgins. George Thomas Hacker, age 49, is survived by two sons, Orville and Earl, who reside in the Dolan neighborhood. Anderson Otto Hacker, age 47, is survived by one daughter, Mrs. Lowell Algood, of this city. There are three sisters to survive the brothers: Mrs. Harry Jones, Mrs. Charles Robertson and Mrs. Abraham Pelfrey.
