FUNERAL OF GEORGE NICHOLSON.
From a young gentleman who was
present, we learn that the funeral of
George Nicholson, which took place
at Shawneetown on Friday mornings
was the largest ever witnessed in
Southern Illinois. All business was
suspended, and the entire population
turned QUIT 0 pay the last sad tribute
of respect to one of their best loved
and most highly esteemed young
townsmen. The funeral services we're
held at the Presbyterian Church, and
were of the most deeply solemn and
impressive character. The minister
being absent at the Presbytery, the
services were conducted by DR.. Red
den. who pronounced a glowing eulo-
CIV upon his many manly virtues and
exeellencies. The grief of the family
was heart-rending and indescribable,
and the eyes of all present were bathed
in tears Of genuine grief.
One interesting and affecting fea-
ture of the funeral services was the
singing by the Sunday School schol
ars, of the beautiful hymn
We are waiting by the river,
We are watching on the shore,
Only waiting for the boatman,
Soon he'll come and bear as DER"
1t is sad thing to seg-one so young
and so worthy, one giving such high
promise of usefulness and honor. be-
ing thus suddenly and ruthlessly torn
from the wide arms of affection that
surrounded him. To his parents,
brothers and sisters we extend our
heartfelt and earnest sympathy.
