The Somerset herald. [volume] (Somerset, Pa.) 1870-1936, 1885-12-09

steadfastness in the right, his anna
bility, and his thorough reliability.
And so he taught this lesson,
said the speaker: " Be not deceived,
God is not Knocked for whatsoever
man soweth, that shall he also
reap. For he that soweth to the
flesh shall of the flesh reap corrup-
ton. but he that soweth to the spir-
/ it shall of the spirit reap life ever.
lasting He carefully chose his seed
and be has abundantly reaped his
harvest"
When the speaker had concluded,
Mrs. Doner, of Chicago. sang " Rock
of Ages" the Bishop closing with
prayer and benediction. The casket
was then lifted and borne from the
church. Tie audience followed.
and in a short time the march to
the tomb was commenced. The col
umn was preceded by mounted
police escort, who were followed by
the Columbus Barracks Band and
the Richardson Zouaves, who imme-
diately preceded the hearse. The
latter was drawn by six blaak horses
wearing the black paraphernalia
worn by the animals attached to the
funeral car which bore the remains
of Gen. Grant to the grave.
On either side of the hearse was q
guard from the indianapolis Light
Infantry, carrying their guns at the
position of reverse arms.
Immediately in the rear OF the
hearse were the Rice Guards and
Streight Rifles, both loca! companies.
The funeral car occupied central
position in the second of the four
grand divisions. The first grand
division was in line ready for the
forward movement when the casket
was carried from the church. 1t was
composed Of State military compa-
MES marching independently, all Of
fcers dismounted. The Busch Zou-
aves, Of St. Louis, was the only
company appearing in the line from
outside the State.
! In the second grand division fol-
lowing the hearse came carriage
con tanning Mrs. Hendricks, Mrs. ,.
W. Morgan, Mr.. and Mrs. Fitzhugh
Thornton. The succeeding twelve
carriages contained relatives and
near friends.
EX-President Hayes occupied the
next carriage, and was followed in
regular order by the members of the
Cabinet, United States Senators and
Representatives, Governors and their
staifs. United States judiciary, ex-
United States Senators and Repre-
sentatives, United States military
officers and State officers of Indi.
ana, followed by the presidents and
faculties of universities and colleges,
the mavors of cities and other civil
officials.
The third division was composed
of all ron-military organizations. 1t
was preceded by the local Irish
American organizations, followed by
the marching political clubs which
had taken part in the recent Presi'
dental campaign.
The fourth grand division was
made of local organizations, includ'
ing the fire department. with their
steamers heavily draped.
The column proceeded slowly
through the great masses of people
on Washington street, the military
organizations attempting to march
with company front, but repeatedly
compelled to break into columns OF
fours and move by the flank. The
carriages were driven three abreast.
The movement was slow, the band
playing dirges, making the progress
at times almost imperceptible until
the column merged upon Meridian
street, broad and very handsome
avenue leading to the entrance OF
the Crown Hill Cemetery. The cor
tege moved on by the handsomes OF
the wealthy, whose windows were
filled with great throngs standing
respectfully. The broad thorough
fare stretched out into the country
beyond the limits of the city, and
when the head of the column came
within mile of the cemetery, mile
distant, the indianapolis Light Ar
tillery began to fire minute guns,
which was continued until the
hearse reached the grave.
At the cemetery there was an i'm
mense concourse Of people. The
Hendricks lot and monument were
covered with elaborate floral offer
ings. A white marble vault had
been sunk into the ground near the
the monument for the reception OF
the burial casket. The inner walls
of the vault were completed ! cover
ed with smilax and roses, so that
the bare earth was at no place visi-
bic.
The religious services here were
very brief and simple, Drs. Fulton
and Stringfellow only pIonouncing
sentences. The committal services
by DR.. Jeneks followed and the ben
ediction was then pronounced by
Bishop knickerbocker.
Before the simple services at the
cemetery were concluded many OF
the organizations--military and civic
had dropped from the line and
were making for their respective
headquarters to avoid a threatened
rain storm. By Z o'clock the CEN
trail part of the city had again doh-
ned It's everyday appearance.
Almost momentarlly trains laden
with human freight eH route to all
sections were leaving the city. The
Congressional Committee train drew
out of the city shortly after 6 o'clock
and the special, with the members
of the Cabinet and representatives
of the United Press on board. left
the Union Depot shortly before Z
p. N. The Cabinet will reach Wash
lngton early tomorrow afternoon.
There is very generally express
ed regret here that President Cleve-
land could not consistently attend
the funeral, but it is at the same
time fully realized that in not doing
so the Executive obeyed what he
construed to be the desire of his
countrymen.
