The funeral of Alfred Stuart Craig, of Wetaskiwin, who passed away at his home on Tuesday, August 9th, at the age of seventy years and six months, was held from St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church. Rev. A.R. Schrag, of the United Church, who officiated, delivered a very impressive sermon. He spoke of the life of the deceased, being a member who was very devoted to the Church and its activities. He took for his text a passage from the 90th Psalm, and also the 14th chapter of St. John, which was favored by the deceased.
The hymns chosen were "Abide With Me" and "I am Thine, O Lord, I have heard Thy Voice." Mrs. A. Johnson sang very sweetly a solo, "The Silver Chord."
The funeral was largely attended by relatives and friends from far and near. The interment took place in the family plot in the Wetaskiwin cemetery, at 2:30, Thursday, Aug. 11.
