oniciatlng cergymen The collins We're each borne
IN by eight bearers and stood In front OF the altar,
wreathed in snowof white flowers. The usual
solemn service of the Episcopal church was cele-
bratcd, and Bishop COKE made a brief address. The
church was filed with mute and sorrow-stricken
audience and tnrongs Of sympathetic faces crowded
the streets outside. Fifty Carriages followed the
remains to Forest Lawn.
This young married pair, lovely in their lives and
in their death undivided, viii remain TO most eyes
the central hgures OF tragedy never by this city to
be forgotten. II Is proper therefore, that should
put on record more detailed memorial OF them
than has yet appeared IN our columns.
Pease and brother OF Alfred Pease the pianist and
composer. was born in Cleveland, June 2o 1914. In
that city he was educated and lived until the re-
moval OF his family 10 this city in 1852. We first
when his ardent and enthusiastic mind had become
hlled With q passion for military lre Eager to
go to :he field, but unable, young ne was,
TO obtain his parents consent to The step, he
had yet managed, as an attache OK the Depart
ment OF Military Telegraphing, to see some six
months service In the first year OF hostitJes. The
telegraph, Ii will be remembered was quickly and
efficiently utilized Tor military purposes, chiefly
Cleveland and OF these gentlemen Arthur became q
sort of aide-de-camp. He had their confidence IN a
nigh degree, and discharged the duties entrusted to
MIN with fidelity and ability. Returning to the
North, our young townsman continued an enthusi
est in military matters. AN adept In the Grill and
tactics, he gave instruction in these to many who
afterwards distinguished themselves at The front
He was also skilled IN fencing and other athletic
pes m A. ,ed the sane a1 not time the finer aua
for, as a. young man, he manifested con-
siderable literary feeling and ability. His
taste, whether In literary composition or in
the use OF his pencil might easily have been culti.
waited TO no mean results. In short, Arthur Pcase
at twenty-one was youth before whom every ave.
julia eldest daughter Of MIR. s. Y. r. Watson, in
January, 1861, seemed the further pledge OF happy
and useful future. But 1t was not long before he
fell into i'll health, by which the latter years Of his
lie were clouded and robbed OF their expected har-
vest. Within q few months, however, he had re-
turned home from health seeking sOjourn at the
West With renewed hope and apparently in much
improved physical condition. His spirits were
ness in the spring In Chicago. 1t is upon this seen
ingy Frightening OF his life that the pail OF last
Mondays catastrophe has fallen.
Promise rather than achievement. therefore, Is
that which the earth Of the cemetery covered yester
day. But the less VIII the bal and comely form
Of Arthur Pease be missed In our streets; none the
less will his tender, aIectionate nature his noble
Impulses, his fidelity to friendship, be remembered
an almost girltsh susceptibility was supplemented
by qualities OF the most sterling manhood. The
elements OF bis character failed to leave for them
selves lifting monument, but the memory OF his
gentle heart will last SO also will live In the re-
membrance OF Buffalo the image OF his companion
In life and death. Mrs. Pease was young lady
OF rare attractiveness, and of most admirably
balanced character. Sensible, unaffected and
kindly OF nature. she was the believed OF all
who knew her. Her mother and sister at present
temporarily residing In Brussels, Belgium, have yet
to hear Of their irreparable loss. One child daugh
ter or three or our years Is LETT behind by the twain
who have thus suddenly, but hand In hand, gone
forth from world that loved them into the land OF
the hereafter
