         [Victim of Dec. 26, 1903 Pere Marquette head-on train wreck]
         
         Howard City, Mich., December 30 - (Special)
         The funeral of WILLIAM HELMRICH, the Detroit baggageman
       who was killed in the Pere Marquette wreck, took place to-
       day and was one of the largest ever held here, as the de-
       ceased was well known and very poplular. Relatives who
       attended were BERT H. HELMRICH, a brother, and Miss IDA
       HELMRICH, a sister, of Chelsea; EDWARD HELMRICH and ERNEST
       HELMRICH, brothers, and Mrs. H. FISHER, sister, of Detroit;
       D. D. Davis and Miss Delia Hankinson, of Muskegon, and Mrs.
       C. M. Powell, of Ionia. The funeral sermon was preached by
       Rev. D. I. Sutherland, of the Calvary Presbyterian church,
       Detroit, of which MR. HELMRICH was a member.
