Members of the Hiawatha band had great admiration and respect for their former director.

It is said that in early days William Hanney was one of the very finest baritone players in Kansas. He kept up his interest in music in spite the choir softly sang "I Want to be an Angel" and "bear Little One, How Sweet Thou Art." An impressive sermon was given by Father Geogary. The little boy was laid to rest in the parish cemetery of St. Benedict. The sorrowing ones have the sympathy of the entire parish but will find consolment in this little verse: "There'e a pair of little hands Laid to rest forevermore; There's 2 pearly dimpled cheeks whose rich blossoming are o'er; Death has sealed two little eyes That will no more smile or weep, Softly to her bedside he came, She has only gone to sleep." -Cont.
