Inc Iuncral oil the late HONORABLE
W. c. Parko took place Friday
afternoon at three O'Clock from the
Central Union Church. The floral
decorations on the pulpit platform
and choir gallery were exceedingly
beautiful. On either side of the
reading desk stood large bouquets
of white lilies, while on the platform
itself were small potted palm trees.
On the choir desk stood several
bouquets principally of white flowers.
Two large ones of the choicest flow
ers hung over on either side.
The remains enclosed in a very
handsome koa coffin with silver
trimmings, arrived at the church
about five minutes after three
o'clock and were carried up the
centre aisle of the church by de-
tachment of police, the pastor of
the church, Rev. +. G. Beckwith,
ID. D., leading the way, repeating
the well-known words, II am the
Resurrection and the Life" etc.
The coffin was placed on draped
stands just below the pulpit desk.
The chief mourners, Mrs. Parke,
the widow, Misses Jennie b. and
Bernice p, daughters, and Mr.. /.
Severance, brother-in-law of the
deceased, occupied the front pew
on the left side. Behind them sat
Hon. w. f. and Mrs. Allen. The
members of Excelsior Lodge No, l
and Harmony No. 3, l. o. o. F., in
full regalia occupied seats on either

Judd, Hons. John o. Dominis, ii.
A. Widemann and w. Jas. Smith ;
Messrs. A. j. Cartwright, David
Dayton and A. S. Hartwell. The
church was filed in every part by
sympathizing friends. On the cof-
fin at the head lay beautiful floral
pillow, in the centre bunch of
white lilies and at the foot a wreath
of maiden hair ferns. A solid sill
yer plate was on the lid, on which
was inscribed the birthplace and
date OF birth and death.
AS the remains were brought in
the church Mr.. Myron Jones, the
organist Of the church, played a
funeral march by Chopin. AS soon
as all were seated the choir sang
DR.. Lyte's beautiful hymn, "Abide
with me, fast falls the eventide, "
ETC., to the tune Eventide, by w.
Fl. Monk. DR.. Beckwith then be-
gan the service, which was taken
from the ritual in use in the Epis.
copal Church. He first read in 6
very impressive manner the two
Psalms, Lord, let me know mine
end," and "Lord, Thou hast beer
our refuge" and then the lesson
Now is Christ risen from the dead
from the 18th chapter of the frs
book of Corinthians. This was fol
lowed by prayer in which the rev
erend doctor spoke of the faithful
service, fidelity and ceaseless vigi
lance of the deceased to the coun
try in which he resided so long. Th
choir sang with much taste and ex
preston Bunty's anthem, "Sleel
thy last sleep" after which DR.
Beckwith pronounced the benedic
ton. The address was omitted a
