300 CHILDREN AT FUNERAL.
And Two Wagon Loads of Flowers
Tribute to Col. Hunton.
Three hundred children attended the funeral of James Moss Hunton yesterday afternoon at Independence. The girls were dressed in white and many of them wore pink carnations, the favorite flower of Colonel Hunton, who had legions of little friends all over the city. The public schools were dismissed for the afternoon. The large lawn in front of the home was filled with men who knew Colonel Hunton. Rev. C. C. McGinley, pastor of the First Presbyterian church of Independence, conducted the service. Such a wealth of floral offerings is seldom seen at a funeral.
Two funeral vans were required to hold the tokens of friendship.
