30 wori, but IN the night Of death hope secs
star and listening love can hear the rustic of
!, wing. He who sleeps here, when dying,
the approach Of death for the re-
turn of health, whispered with his last breath:
Il am better now. Let ms believe, in spite Of
doubts and dogmas, of fears and tears, that
these dear words are true Of all the countless |
dead. And now to you, who have been chosen |
from among the many men he loved, to do the |
last sad office for the dead, we give his sacred |
dust. Speech cannot contain our love. There
was, there is no gentler, stranger, manlier
man." The coffin wns born to the hearse by
Senators Blaine, Allison, voorhees,, David
Davis and Paddock, Ward, Lamon, jeremiah
Wilson and Representatives GARFIELD and
Stevenson, who acted as pall-bearers, and
were followed by the immediate relatives and
friends Of the deceased. The solemn process
sion then moved to the beautiful burying-
ground at Georgetown, and all that WAS
mortal Of the ex-cOngressman was deposited
in its hnal resting place. There were no ser
vices at the grave, and 70 services of any
character save those described above.
