"FUNERAL FOR WYMORE HELD HERE MONDAY
Funeral services were held this morning, at the First Christian Church,
for Roy H. Wymore, 60, who died at midnight Thursday night at his home on Villa
Street, following a long period of ill health. The rites were largely attended,
as the deceased had a wide acquaintance in Tulare County, and particularly in
the eastern part of the county.
Rev. Harold V. Reeves, pastor of the church, delivered the eulogy, and Tom
Smith and his daughter, Miss Jacqueline, sang. The chancel of the church was
banked with beautiful flowers, showing the esteem in which the deceased was held
by his many friends. The casket carriers were Robert L. Cogburn, James Arnold,
Leo Pohlman, all of Porterville; Oscar L. Hemphill of Visalia; and two deputy
agricultural inspectors of Exeter.

Cemetery, where the Masonic Lodge, of which Mr. Wymore had long been a member,
performed the last rites of the lodge in an impressive ceremony.

in aiding in the collection of truit for the Porterville exhibit at the Tulare-Kings
County Fair. His friends were legion, and his jovial disposition had won him

lodges and was on the board of the First Christian Church.
