    Text Double Funeral - The sad deaths of Misses Schuldria and Sarah Halfacre, who lived at No. 922 Overton street, was made doubly sorrowful because they both expired about the same hour, yet each was sick with a different complaint. Arrangements were at once made with Taylor & Co., for a double funeral, both were shrouded alike, both caskets are the same color and trimmed alike. The funeral services were held at St. Eli Baptist Church, Rev. Mr. Thompson officiating. It is said by old residents that this is the first double funeral reported in Nashville {...} years.
