large assemblage, but one that WAS deeply
impressed with the solemnity of the occa-
sion, and was present because of the high
esteem in which the deceased WAS held.
The ceremonies at the church were inn.
pressive and appropriate, without ostenta,
ton, being more beautiful tribute CT re-
speCt and love than of pomp or ceremony.
