the brothers closing ranks as they passed
and marching to the church door, sepa-

Order, following which was the hymn
I" Friend after Friend departs" While
this was being sung the brothers passed

The Chaplain read the selections from
the Bible and the coffin was lowered in
to the grave, and while the hymn, - For

cast broken twigs of evergreen into the
grave. The Master then advanced tol
the head of the grave and the pail bear

Throwing in sprig Of evergreen. Ate,
(which the Master said: "A good name
lis better than precious ointment and
the day Of death than the day of

came and take nothing of her|
labor which she may carry IN her
hand" and taking up a handful Of dirt
and sprinkling it in the grave, aided:

Then followed the closing prayer and
benediction by the Chaplain with re-
|sponses by the members. The process
sion was reformed and the brothers oil
the Order marched to the entrance to the|
Cemetery, waited, with uncovered heads,
the passing Of the mourners and the OIL
|6ciating clergyman, when the regalias
and badges were removed and all dis
persed to their several homes.
The deceased was born at Camden.
Rock Island county, ILL.,, April 30th,
1850, and hence was "a years, IL
months and IA days, of age. She had
lived in Hay Greek township, where
she died, from childhood, except such
time as she was attending school in|
this city. She was a member of Christ
Church (EpiscopaD of this city, and
was married about a year since to VIM
|Hayman, jr., who is so soon bereft of
her companionship and wifely encour-
|agement and aid. She leaves an infant
son, four weeks old. The kindly re-
gard in which she was held was mani
Tested by the deep feelings of sorrow
displayed, not only by relatives, but
10y neighbors and friends, a sorrow
which found expression only in tears.
