A brief sketch of the Funeral Exercis-
es of the late Hon. G. L. Park, as
held in the city Of Stevens Point,
: Sunday, June 9Th, 1884.
A small hand bill was issued in this
city last Saturday morning by mem
bers of the A. E, & A. NJ order

Sabbath morning, for Stevens Point,

large numb er of our citizens improved
the opportunity. Judge Park was
universally known throughout Wood

coaches were filled, consisting of Free
Masons, their wives and friends who
desired to show their appreciation of
one who had simply gone on before to
his eternal home. The party arrived
safely and were we'll provided for at
the different hotels in the city. a
Special train from Wausau brought
many of Judge Parks admirers, also
special on the Wisconsin Central

points along the line. The farmers
throughout Portage county were there
in large numbers to pay their last re.
spects to him whom they dearly loved
The city was filled with his admirer:
all anxious to do him honor
Before the hour had arrived for the
funeral services to commence it began
to rain and continued all the afternoon
Those having the ceremonies in charge
decided to proceed with them and
did. Few of the large coneourse oil
people were provided for rain storm
and consequently many were drenched.
The ceremonies were carried
on by the Knight Templars and
would have been very impressive
had the weather permitted. AS ii
was the ceremonies were cut short and
proved uninteresting. About loo
