Abbie French

New Plymouth Outlook
Friday, September 09, 1904

The funeral of Mr. and Mrs. French's infant child last Friday was attended by a large number of friends, all of whom manifested a sympathy for the bereaved parents which was unmistakably genuine. We have seldom seen an audience affected by a child's funeral as on this occasion. The remarks by Rev. Kershaw were appropriate to the letter, and the singing, floral decorations and service throughout was beautifully impressive.
