By 1899, Friends meetinghouses were being used for the funerals of
nonmembers as well as members. I've seen a couple of meetings that kept
"funeral books" that were distinct from the death records that they kept
for members. But they include no details, just vital statistics.
Horace's death was recorded in the membership records of the Hicksite
Whitewater Monthly Meeting. But for an account of the funeral, you'd need
to consult one of the local newspapers.
