PETER ISING

Laid to Rest were the remains of Peter Ising Yesterday Afternoon

The funeral of Peter Ising, of Green River Island, Ky., occurred yesterday afternoon from his late residence in this city, and was very largely attended.

The services were held at 2 o'clock and were conducted by Rev., John T. Phillips, D. D., and by Lone Star Lodge, No. 56, A.O.U.W. of this city of which he was a member. Rev. Phillips is an eloquent pulpit orator and delivered a very impressive and felling discourse. The procession was a mile long. Over 500 Workmen were in line, and were led by a band of music. A multitude of people was at the cemetery to witness the solemn ceremony in which Lone Star Lodge officiated, assisted by Rev. Phillips. Mr. Ising was a Catholic, born in Germany. He was 58 years of age and died suddenly of asthma.
