Corwin Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/Fly.2ACEB/548 Message Board Post: I would like to know if this church is still in Danville, IN where the funeral services were held for Evangelist Rev. Harry C. Masters in March 1916. The Church had a large auditorium which was filled with friends & family & is near the Blythe Undertaking Establishment. He was buried at Hicks Cemetery in ILL which must be not too far from the church. . It is thought by many that the funeral of Rev. Masters was the largest ever held at that time. With over fifty vehicles in the funeral cortege. He was the son of John & Helena Masters of Old Forge, PA & was married only 3 months before. There was no mention of wife's name only that she was a member of prominent Illinois family. Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.
