Funeral services for Mrs Mary C. Wynkoop, pioneer Christian Science worker who, at the age of 81 years, died Tuesday at the family residence, 1673 Roosevelt avenue, will be conducted at 4 p. m. today at the Rosedale Funeral Chapel, under the auspices of the Christian Science Church. The body will be cremated.
    Mrs. Wynkoop, who was born in Jackson, Tenn., in which city she was largely instrumental in the establishment of Christian Science, came to Los Angeles from New York City twelve years ago. Being broadly read and a progressive thinker, Mrs. Wynkoop took great interest in the development of the Southland, especially along social and religious lines, and has been of invaluable aid to her daughter, Mrs. J. C. Urquhart, who is president of the Los Angeles district of the California Federation of Women's Clubs.
    Apparently in the best of physical health up to within a few hours of her death, Mrs. Wynkoop maintained almost until her last breath an optimistic mental attitude and a spirit of gladness that minimized the pangs of parting between herself and her loved ones.
    Mrs. Wynkoop leaves two daughters, four sons and eight grandchildren. The daughters are: Mrs. J. C. Urquhart and Mrs. Agnes Osborne Carter of Los Angeles and the sons are: Messrs. G. P. Wynkoop of San Francisco, James Wynkoop of San Francisco, and R. B. and John Wynkoop of New York City. She also leaves a daughter-in-law, Mrs. Inez E. Wynkoop, of Los Angeles.
    Mrs. Wynkoop was the wife of the late Henry W. Wynkoop, who was superintendent of telegraphs of the Pennsylvania Line. A pianist and artist of exceptional talent, all of her children are known for their work along artistic lines, some of them having achieved international fame. Mrs. Carter is a pianist whose work is recognized in Europe as well as America: John Wynkoop is one of the best known architects in New York City; James Wynkoop is a well-known newspaper man and author and G. P. Wynkoop is vice-president of the Bancroft-Whitney Law-book Publishing Company.
