FUNERAL SERVICES HELD IN LOGAN FOR CHARLES H. HULS

SIX FRATERNITY BROTHERS ARE PALLBEARERS FOR DECEASED SENIOR.

Many University Students Attend Ceremonies—Burial Is Made at Lancaster This Afternoon.

Charles H. Huls was buried today in Lancaster. 

Ceremonies attended by many Ohio State University students, preceding his interment, were held in Logan at 1 p. m. 

His death, caused by tetanus, threw a gloom over the large group of University students with whom he was acquainted. 

The pall bearers were all Phi Gamma Delta Fraternity brothers of the deceased student. They were John N. Heed. Darrel D. Loeblein, Lester W. Taylor, Arthur E. Davis, Joseph M. Downs, and Leroy W. Hendershott. 

The fraternity members attended the services in a body. There were also representatives of Sphinx, Bucket and Dipper, Pi Delta Epsilon, Sigma Delta Chi, and the Makio staff present; all organizations of which Huls was a member while in school. 

Y. M. C. A. and Boost Ohio sent representatives to the funeral services, while a number of social fraternities, friends of Huls were present to pay their last respects to their lost friend. 

The services were held at the Huls' home in Logan, with the Rev. G.W. Blair of the Logan M.E. Church conducting them.

When authorities asked to perform on autopsy on Charley after his burial, my grieving great-grandfather said,

"We do not wish to take any part in the investigation," Huls declared, "we are satisfied that an infected tooth led to his death."

Great-grandpa quickly changed his mind, but the autopsy was never performed.

*Charley and their deceased infant sister were moved in August 1934 (same cemetery, new location) when their parents, A.E. and Anna Huls, died from car accident injuries. Charley's brother Fred moved them to a new Huls plot.
