Remains Of Hinrichs Laid To Rest

Gonzales has never witnessed a sadder funeral than that of Monday afternoon when the remains of Foster Hinrichs, the young boy who met a tragic end in Sunday nights auto accident, were tenderly consigned to their final resting place to await the resurrection day, Numerous friends and relatives of the family were gathered at the family residence on College street at 5 o'clock to witness the touching services, to pay their last tribute to the dead, to mingle their tears of sympathy with those of the stricken family over his bier.
The grey casket was embowered in a wreath of flowers that gave mute but eloquent expression of the regret felt over the untimely passing of this young boy called suddenly away in the midst of glowing health and life.
Rev. W. K. Penrod, pastor of the Baptist church, conducted the simple service during which there was hardly a dry eye among those assembled. In a heartfelt talk made by Rev. Mr. Penrod briefly sketching the fact of his conversion, of his faith in the Savior, was feelingly brought out, giving the blessed assurance that all was well with in the Great Beyond.
The services concluded, the acting pall bearers Messrs. R. A. Remschel, N. D. Cone, John D. DuBose, John Emler, Fred Scheske and Arthur Dawe, took charge of the remains, conveying the casket to the hearse after which the procession formed and moved to the W.O.W. cemetery where interment was made.
A short service was held beside the grave as the last and offices were performed.

Banked high with the lovely floral tributes that completely mantled the new made grave, enwrapping it in their beauty and fragrance, all that is mortal of the young life rests, the spirit in the better land awaiting that time when there shall be no more broken family ties, loved ones here meanwhile treasuring the hallowed memory of his dear presence in that home upon which the hand of sorrow rests so heavily just now.
among numerous out of town relatives here to attend the funeral were the young mans brother, Chas. Hinrichs and wife Brenham, his grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. Bnesing of Shiner and Mr. and Mrs. Richter also of Shiner.
