Brought Here for Interment
The funeral of Mrs. Laura CULVER took place from the residence of Dr. CLAYTON Sunday
afternoon at 4 o'clock. Deceased was formerly well-known in Sacramento. Of late years
her home has been in Tuscarora, Nevada. A few weeks ago she went to Adrian, Michigan, to
visit relatives. One afternoon while she and a lady friend were out driving, the horses
became frightened and ran away. Both ladies were thrown out, and Mrs. Culver was so
severely injured that she died in four days. Her wish had always been to be buried in the
Sacramento cemetery, so Mr. Culver brought her remains here. The floral emblems placed on
the casket by loving hands in the East had faded ere they reached this city, but were
replaced, and they, with many others, hid the grave and left only a mound of flowers.
