Service 3 pm, Saturday and First Methodist church chapel, 1630 Hinman Ave, Evanston. Burial private.

Although it is likely Mamie was cremated and her ashes strewn in the same cemetery as her husband, Graceland Cemetery could not confirm that fact. I've left the disposition as cremated, ashes given to family.
