Notes - At 8 o'clock in the morning the large chair wagon of the Webster Manufacturing Company, which was draped in deep mourning and converted into a catafalque, stopped at each of the houses of the six Catholics killed in the blast. They took the caskets in a procession to the church. The caskets were taken into the church and three placed on each side of the alter.
Thirty carriages of relatives and mourners lined up outside the church to attend the funerals. It was a solemn requeim high mass that lasted about an hour and a half. After the mass was over, Father Seubert delivered a short sermon in German.
After the sermon, the remains were placed back on the catafalque and the same line of procession was formed going to the cemetery as was formed going to the church. The remains were taken to the German Catholic cemetery north of this city where the six graves were waiting to receive the bodies.
The Northwestern correspondant stood at the door of St. Mary's church as the thirty carriages drove away. Nearly all contained near relatives of the deceased and it was as sad a sight as one could ever care to witness. Old men and women bent over with age sobbing bitterly and hardly able to walk, being overcome by the greif they have borne since the explosion.
The funerals held were for Dick Schiffer, Sebastian Liebhauser, Michael Muntner, Louis Resch, Frank Sandhover (Sandhofer) and H. Knelke.
