The funeral cortege of the late Albert
r. Chambers, was one of the largest seen
IN our city for some time past, and the
vehicles in line numbered about fifty.
A large number of friends had congre
gated ut the residence Of Hon. A. J
Chambers shortly after 9 o'clock, yet il
was almost 10 when the minister, Rev. w
Il. Tynes, came forward and in most
appropriate and impressive prayer
besought the blessing OF the Holy Father
and in few brief remarks alluded to the
many virtues OF the noble youth.
The procession moved shortly after lC
O'Clock, and wendell its way through the
principal streets of the city. Arriving AT
the grave the reverend gentleman made 4
most beautiful and touching final prayer,
when the earthly remains were consigned
amid the tears and Sobs of relatives and
friends, to their last resting place.
