where her husband was known as the first citizen, the Rev. Harry P. DEWEY,
D.D., yesterday conducted the funeral services of Mrs. J.S.T. STRANAHAN. The
services took place at her late home and were attended by a notable
gathering of her friends. Dr. DEWEY read the Scriptural lesson and spoke
eloquently of Mrs. STRANAHAN as her friends knew and as the city knew her
through her benevolent works. Mrs. WATERHOUSE, soprano soloist of the Church
of the Pilgrims, where Dr. DEWEY is pastor, sang twice. On account of the
severe storm, the interment was postponed to await the convenience of the family.
Mrs. STRANAHAN was 74 years old, and was a descendant of the famous HARRISON
family, two of which have sat in the chair of President. Although no
arrangements have been made, it is possible that a memorial window will be
put in place in the Church of the Pilgrims in memory of Mrs. STRANAHAN. A
beautiful window has been unveiled for her husband, and it is fitting that a
similar token of regard should be made to the memory of Mrs. STRANAHAN.
