Funeral of Harriet Theobald Bliss Lee
This was sent to me by Gordon Wright who found them where he works at the church office. He used to spend summers with his grandparents in Hinckely, and we have shared data about the town.
I have transcribed it as it appears in the photographic copy I have.

I appreciate the information listed. Harriet was my Father's, Leo J Lee, Mother. As he was only 19 mos old when she died, he has no memory of her funeral. I've printed a copy of this to give to him. He'll be quite pleased to see this. BTW he is 88 ys old & to my knowledge the last surviving child of Harriet (and John R Lee).
