The Daily Notes -- August 30, 1911 CONDITIONS BECOMING NORMAL AFTER DAY OF MANY FUNERALS

Body of Only One More Victim of Saturday Night's Tragedy Awaits Burial. One Pastor Conducts Many Funerals. Reclaiming Lost Articles.

Conditions in Canonsburg assumed something of the normal today, and people went about their affairs as they had not since last Saturday. Not a funeral was held in the town today, but at Houston a double funeral was held. The bodies of mother and her child -- Mrs. Blanche E. Kelly and her little daughter -- were buried from the home of the husband, Harry Kelly. Tomorrow at 2 p. m. Funeral services for Francis Byrd will be held at the Payne African American church, and then the last victim of Saturday night's tragedy will have been laid to rest.

It fell to Rev. Herbert F. Loomis, pastor of the First Baptist church, to conduct more of the funerals than any other minister. He conducted a half dozen funerals Tuesday and the double funeral at Houston Wednesday. He shows the effects of the strain under which he has labored during the past few days.

The undertakers have had time to recover from their ordeal and to straighten out matters. Business throughout town was carried on as usual today, but in the stricken homes the sorrow is keen as ever. In practically all the bereaved homes the funeral s and their attendant excitement is over, and the sorrowing people are alone with their grief. Many of the article found in the hall after the fatal panic have not yet been claimed, but these are largely worthless, such as crushed hats, torn bits of clothing, and the like. There are a few pieces of jewelry, but none of these is of great value.
