Funeral arrangements
The funeral of Alderman John Houlding J.P., will take place to-morrow (Friday), at 12:15, at Everton Cemetery, Fazakerley. The remains will arrive from Cimiez this evening, and be removed to his late residence, Stanley House, Anfield-road.
As many business men will probably not be enabled to attend at the cemetery, it has been arranged to hold a service prior to the interment at eleven o’clock, at St. Simon and St. Jude’s Church, Anfield-road, of which the incumbent is the Rev. F. Linstead Downham.
The late alderman had been one of the prominent members of the congregation from the erection of the edifice.
