Interment took place at Arlington cemetery. The following regarding the death and funeral of Henry S. HOUGH, formerly of Noblestown, is taken from the Los Angeles Times: Whittier, Cal., Feb. 2-This afternoon Friends' church was filled with sorrowing people for the funeral service of Harry S. HOUGH, one of the best known and liked young men of this city. Mr. HOUGH was an oil driller who had worked for William PLOTTS and the Murphy Oil Company for the seven years he had been on the coast, and it is indicative of the sorrow of his fellow workers that today not only were the drills of the Murphy company silent, but the entire field was hushed while the men bade their friend goodbye for the last time. At the church and at the grave flowers were massed in the profusion possible in no other place than California, and were the handsomest ever seen in this city. Prominent among the set pieces was a complete drilling rig with broken cable, developed with thousands of pink carnations and ferns, the whole piece standing fully six feet high. It bore on one side a broken wheel near which rested a broken bit. The beam was down, which was easily translated by oil men into "'Tis finished." This magnificent pied was the offering of the employees of the Murphy Oil Company. Near it stood another handsome tribute, a "Gates Ajar," nearly four feet high, from the employees of the Central Oil Company, while all around and almost burying the casket were scores of other offerings. The service was conducted by Rev. Levi MILLS, who, in an eloquent address, eulogized the true manhood and high qualities of the one who had gone, speaking of his courageous, generous and gentle heart, and stating that in his death not only do the family and friends suffer, but the loss is felt by the entire community. The pallbearers, all drillers for the Murphy company were: Earl BAILEY, John MCALEESE, Bert SCHINNELLER, Aaron TALBERT, John FITZPATRICK and L. J. BAUER. Music for the service was furnished by a male quartette, Walter F. MORSE, H. L. WILSON, E. C. BUTTERFIELD and Will A. SMITH. Mr. HOUGH was 32 years of age, and his great strength and fine constitution made his death, after only a few weeks' illness, a surprise even to those who had known how seriously ill he was. He leaves a widow, a little son and daughter and one brother here, while in Pennsylvania are his parents, four sisters and two brothers.
