Rev. J.C. Clemons conducted the services over the remains of William Ralya at 11:30 a.m. Sunday in the Methodist church at Conneaut Lake, in the presence of a large assemblage of sympathizing friends and relatives.  The interment was in Adsit Cemetery.

William was gored by a bull in the stockyards of A.C. Huidekoper.  Tombstone states: "Memory of William Ralya born 1-7-1837.  This tablet is erected by AG and Carl C. Hudikoper."
