The funeral of Henry Truitt, last Friday, was the largest ever held in this city. A great many of those present came from distant parts of the county and state. The church building, although crowded to its utmost capacity, failed to accomodate half of those who had come to pay their respects to their late friend and neighbor. The services were ably conducted by the Rev. Mr. Hewitt, of the First Baptist Church of Peoria.
