Over the Remains of the Late Hugh w.
Cowan.
The remains of the late Hugh White
Cowan, second son of our honored towns
man, Mr.. Jas. D. Cowan, of the firm of
Cowan, McClung & Co., arrived on the 800
train yesterday morning, in charge of Mr..
Cowan and Dr. r. NJ. Rhea, who met them
at Bristol, and were met and conveyed to
the residence in West End"
His death, it will be remem-
bered, occurred at 10 o'clock a. IN.
Thursday, 23rd inst, in Philadelphia, Pa,
where he had gone to be treated for what
was pronounced by the physician as brain
fever. Less than three weeks ago Hugh
was in our midst, in the very prime of
manhood, the very picture of health and
happiness, always having pleasant word
for every one, and with his interchangeable
zeal and christian devotion, never allowing
an opportunity for doing good deed to
slip. He was close and earnest
in his attention to church,
Sunday school, Bible class and Y. M. G. A.
affairs, as well as 70 home and school mat
tiers, having been a student at the Univer-
sity of Tennessee. 1t is little wonder then
that the sudden and unexpected announce
ment of the death of so noble and exem-
plary young man was shock to the entire
community, who were in profound and ten
der sympathy with the fond and loving
father, mother, brothers, sisters, relatives
and friends, in bereavement which was ex-
cruciatingly sad and lamentable. 1t is matter
of profound and consoling qualification to
his many friends to know that Hugh was
clear and entirely conscious in the hour of
his falling asleep, and expressed himself
happily and unreservedly ready to ascend
into the presence of his Au-wise Creator.
At three O'Clock yesterday afternoon the
remains were taken in charge by the corps
of cadets University of Tennessee, under
command of Col. S. B. Crawford, command
ant, with muffied drums, arms reversed and
colors at half mast, and conveyed to st.
Johns Episcopal Church, accompanied by
! the mourning friends, for the funeral. AS
manifestation of the public sympathy,
there was an unusually large turn out, the
church being filed to overlooking.
The solemn and impressive burial service
of the Episcopal Church was performed by
Rev. H. Fl. Morrell, D. D., the rector, as
sisted by Rev. Dr. Thos. W. Humes, presi-
dent of the University. At the conclusion
of the services the body was conveyed to
its last resting place in Gray Cemetery,
followed by one of the largest funeral pro-
cessions ever witnessed in Knoxville, the
Cadet cornet band heading the procession,
in front of the corps, rendering funeral
| dirge.
The pail bearers On the part of the cadets
were Lieutenants Ralph Shropshire, E. T.
