MISS MYRICK RESTS IN HEAVENLY HOME
Friends and Family Hold Last Services for High School Girl.
Following brief services at the home for the family and intimate friends, the funeral of Miss Elizabeth Myrick, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Layton Myrick, 400 North Eleventh street, was held yesterday afternoon from Reid Memorial church. Burial was in Earlham cemetery.
W[h]ile the organ played softly that portion of Chopin's funeral march, which typifies divine consolation, six girl friends, clad in white, carried the casket into the church and placed it in front of masses of flowers.
The services were in charge of Dr. S. R. Lyons, assisted by the Rev. Harry McMinn, formerly of Richmond, a cousin of Miss Myrick. Miss Constance Fosler was at the organ, and a quartet composed of Mrs. F. W. Krueger, Mrs. Frank Dais, Mr. R. B. Jones and Hugh Foss, sang, "Lead Kindly Light." Mrs. Krueger also sang "Shadowland."
The pallbearers were Misses Lois Kelley, Eleanor Gifford, Marie Kaufman, Emily Fletcher, Mary Converse and Ruth Shera. Members of the Sabbath school, of which Miss Myrick was a member, acted as ushers.
Miss Myrick was a member of the 1914 class of the Richmond high school and was an unusually bright and attractive girl, being especially talented in music. For two years previous to her illness she had been accompanist for the high school orchestra, and at the May Festival last year accompanied the chorus and soloists.
She was an active member of the Sabbath school, Young People's Union and other branches of work of Reid Memorial church. She had a wide circle of friends and life seemed to hold out all its fairest promises for her. As was beautifully brought out by Dr. Lyons in his remarks, the true character of any one is shown by the way in which great emergencies are met by them.
When told by her physician just what she had to face, Miss Myrick only smiled. Through all the months of wearisome confinement, of failing strength and racking pain, she uttered no word of complaint. Her fortitude and cheerfulness were a wonder and inspiration to those who knew her.
Among the relatives who were present from out of the city were Mr. and Mrs. L. H. Myrick of Chicago, Rev. Harry McMinn of New Madison, O., Mrs. William H. Thompson of Warsaw, Ind., Wesley Pierce, Mrs. William McClung of Muncie, Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Ahl of Centerville, S. A. Thomspon and Miss Catherine Thompson of Washington, D. C.
