THE last sad act in the fearful tragedy
which ended the life of Vaudeville and
Flora Ault, ON Wednesday of last week,
was enacted on Friday, when the two
whose lives were so closely welded in
life were laid side by side in the same
grave in death, in the quiet churchyard
at Concord, to await the resurrection
morn. The attendance at the funeral
was unusually large, probably 1900 peo-
pie being present. At the house of Geo.
Ault, the father of Vaudeville, where the
remains were prepared for burial by I'm
dertaker B. r. } Johnston, a short religious
service was held, and the bodies of the
dead were viewed by steady stream of
people for an hour, after which the funeral
cortege began to move. The pail bearers
twelve in number-were all from st
Clairsville, and for the most part were
county officials, associates of the deceas-
ed man in the county offices. The pro-
cession was the largest of the kind ever
seen in the county, and when its head
had reached the church the rear had not
all left the house-a mile and half dis
tant. At the church the services were
conducted by Revs Williams, Eicher and
Craft, and were of most solemn and
character. 1t was more than
ordinarily sad funeral, and during the
services many eyes were suffused with
tears. At the church the remains were
again exposed to view, and hundreds of
people filed past the coffins to look upon
the remains, which though cold in death
seemed almost lifelike.
Among the affecting incidents of the
leave taking was the farewell of the little |
orphaned boy "Cecil," who was lifted up
to the casket by friends, and with aching
heart and tear -bedimmed eyes, imprinted |
upon the faces of father and mother a |
last fond kiss.
