The funeral was held in the Penwell chapel in Topeka, Saturday afternoon. Rev. Bruce W. Davis, Presbyterian Minister officiated. The pall-bearers were chosen from the League of Ex-Marines. A flag was draped upon the casket. Due to the delay caused by inclement weather Charles Junior failed to arrive in time for the services. The mother therefore withheld commitment until Sunday morning after the son had seen his father. The Masonic order completed the committal services at Memorial Park cemetery.
