Rev. E. E. Branch of the First Baptist church delivered the discourse in which life and its lessons were beautifully brought out, and Clark A. Preston, a long time acquaintance of Mr. Peer, added a splendid tribute as to the moral worth of deceased, whom he had known to be most upright, especially in the affairs of the home as well as in the avenues of business and social intercourse with men. He bore open and public testimony on all proper occasions to his reliance upon the teachings of Christianity for the advancement of civilization and for the happiness of mankind and was studiously chaste in his daily walk and talk. The singing was by Mesdames Willis L. Peck and G. M. Phelps. The carries were the two sons: Charles and W. C. of this city, and two nephews, Frank and Thomas Mitchell of Berlin township. Interment was in Highland Park cemetery.
