Last Sunday afternoon at 3 o’clock at Mt. Pleasant occurred the funeral of Carrie Dressler. The service was con­ducted by Rev. John C. Miller. The house was filled with friends from Franklin, Indianapolis and other places, who listened to a very able sermon on the future existence and the inter­mediate state of the soul. She leaves a husband, two small sons, a father and mother, one sister and many friends, who mourn her untimely death. The cause of her death was consumption, the result of having the measles about a year ago. Many times during her last sickness, she expressed a willingness to go.
