William Steinway’s diary: “Cable despatch from my wife’s griefstricken father, Rich^d Ranft, Dresden. Funeral from my house, Pastor Krusi speaks in the Parlor, at noon only members of family admitted. I suffer dreadfully on hearing his voice. Remains taken to family Vault Greenwod, Liederkranz sings, and Vice Pres. Cillis makes an affecting speech at Steinway Mausoleum”.
