FUNERAL OF MRS. CONOVER
Friends Pay the Last Tribute to the One They Loved
	The funeral of Mrs. W. F. Conover was held yesterday morning at the  
First Congregational church, and was attended by a large company of friends of 
the departed teacher and her husband. The Attendance, in fact, was as large as 
the church could comfortably accommodate, indicating the high esteem in which 
the deceased had been held by all who knew her.
	The auditorium was adorned with the choicest flowers, arranged by 
loving hands to signify as much of hope in future life as of present sorrow. 
Violets, roses, smilax, palms and ivy were used. Floral offerings were numerous 
and of varied design, conveying individual tributes of esteem. Prominent among 
these was a wreath of roses and ivy, and a pillow of pure white roses, offered 
by the teachers of the public schools.
	The service, brief but impressive, was conducted by the Rev. Dr. 
Norton. He spoke from Revelations, 21. The Choir, led by Mrs. Annie B. Slone, 
rendered appropriate music, including a solo by Mrs. Slone, "Jesus, Lover of My 
Soul." The Casket containing the body of Mrs. Conover was white, and was heaped 
with flowers. The pallbearers were: Prof. Ellwood P. Cubberley, city 
superintendent of schools; Prof. F. P. Davidson, principal of the high school; 
Principal J. H. Freeman of Sherman Heights; Harry Halliday professor of 
mathematics; R. B Bowles and Mr. Phillips. The services at Mt. Hope were 
simple, but profoundly impressive.
