officiating. Burial was in Clover
Hill Park Cemetery.

By decision of the board of
directors of Congregation Shaa-
rey Zedek, at a special meeting
held at 5 p. m. on Tuesday, ar-
rangement s were made to hold
th e funeral services i n

gatio n Mr. Ehrlich was always
associated with. This was only
the fourth funeral service to
b e held in the Shaarey Zedek,
such tribute being reserved for
the most worth y men in the
