Dakin Funeral Held Friday

Soquel, May 7 (Special to the Sentinel). - The last sad rites for Mrs. Ruth Dakin were conducted Friday afternoon from Wessendorf's mortuary with interment in Soquel Cemetery. Beautiful words of comfort were expressed by Rev. J.J. Kelly, who conducted the service.

Two songs were feelingly sung by Mrs. Willy. The room was filled with the large circle of friends in whose hearts Mrs. Dakin had held a place which can never be filled.

The pallbearers were all neighbors: N.C.Hicks, C.D. Hoover, E. Bishop, Mr. Doyle and Mr. Finnie.

Three automobile loads of beautiful flowers were brought as loving tributes to the grave, which was most fitting, as this devoted member of Mountain district had been a great flower lover and grower and had taken part in the wild flower exhibit held the day she was taken ill only a week before her death.

The whole community unites in sincerest sympathy to this stricken family.
