Friends my call at the home this afternoon and evening, all day Monday, and Tuesday until nine a. m. Interment will be made in Ogden city cemetery under direction of Larkin & Sons’.

One typo that I noticed from this funeral announcement: Barbara Stern is Joseph’s sister-in-law, not his sister. She never married, and is referred to in her sister’s obituary (Joseph’s wife, Pauline Mary Stern Clausse), as Miss Barbara Stern.

(Joseph Edward [or Edouard] is my great-great-grandfather.)
