and dOOrways were filled with the
of the city, looking upon
the cOrtege as it moved slowly and
sOlemnly with the illustriOus dead.
We do not recOllect when we have
seen such an OutpOuring of the people
of Nashville. 1t vas apparent TO any
observer that-a great man had passed
away, and the entire population, of
all classes, had come to pay the last
hOnOrs to Teme~See's noble and gifted
son. All were interested in express
ing their regard and respect for the
dead.
Al Tile CEMETERY
On ARRIVING at the gate of the eeme-
terry the band played Il solemn dirge;
the escort formed on one side of the
walk, and ~ the pall-hearers passed
with the easket, the escort presented
arms. Every head was uncovered
when the deep, impressive tones Of
Bishop Quintarl We're heard in the
funeral services of the Protestant
Church.
The Press and Times SAYS: The
scene during the seryset-s MAS beauti-
full and Impressive in the extreme.
around the coffin was assembled a
small group with bowed and une0v-
cred heads in which the glittering
uniforms of the army contrasted with
sOmbre black of the mOurners-
shade of the pOmp and glory of GRIM
war in a picture of grief for
the death of one whose memory was
then Tevered, not so much for his la
bOrs in the councils Of the nation, as
for his qualities - q man, his warm
and all those traits of char
acteF which endear one to his fellow
men. Overhead, the azure sky
was visible ever and anon between
the swaying branches of the trees,
stirred by the mild autumn hreeze,
while around on every size cleaned
the tomhstCnes, brought out in bright
relief against their back ground Of
green foliage. All was silonce in the
group at the tomb and in the assem-
hlagg e0ngregatel in the vicinity, un-
broken except by the low, solemn
tones of the officiating clergyman con-
ducting the burial services.
With the close of the impressive
the vast eOncogrsa slowly
began to separate, ana ere many min
utes had elapsed, no one was to be
seen about the tomb but the few per
sons who had duties that kept them.
In conclusion we will remark that
We have never seem In Nashville such
a manifestation by the citizens. 1t
showed that everyone wished to show
their respect for the nAn, and admira-
tiOn for his public life.
