LAID TO REST.
Funeral of Young Rathbun.
Friends and Flowers.

Yesterday afternoon Jimmy" Rathbun,
the unfortune lad who was the victim OF
the elevator accident in the Phelan Build
ing last Thursday, was quietly laid to rest
by the loving hands of his widowed mother
and many friends.
The services took place at the residence
of his mother, 1917 Mission street, where
the body was exposed to view The casket
was completely covered with rich and
beautiful bouquets, attached to which were
cards bearing the names of many whom lie
met every day at his work in the elevator,
and two, at least, were from the lady en-
ployes OF Theodore Marceau, for whom he
also worked.
At the head of the casket stood three
very handsome and costly floral designs.
One of the three, a large "broken wheel"
mounted by the whitest of doves and bear
ing the words "Our Jimmy" in roses,
banked in white, was from the lady en-
plOyes, and another, an anchor, cross and
heart, with the mOnosylable Pet was
from the gentlemen employees of the same
establishment
In every way possible was the apprecia-
ton for the boys worth and character eX-
pressed by his employer, Theodore Mar
ceau. and his fellow-emplnyes. In life they
saw his genial face ana heard his ripping
laugh. His horrible accident and subsequent
death brought to their know ledge his pas
sive heroism. BY his death mis- mother lost
not only her only support, but an heroic
son, whose flial devotion the world is
better off by knowing.
The funeral services were conducted by
Rev. NJ. c. Harris of the Methodist Episco-
pal Church and Superintendent of the
Japanese Mission, who made some very
appropriate remarks on the boys adherence
to duty.
The palI-bearers were mostly young men
of the neighborhood, one alone being from
his fellow employees. They were: Melville
Levy. James Murphy, Joseph Miller, Grant
Gatchell, II. G. Pieper and the artist, Ka-
liski. The body was conveyed to the Odd
Fellows Cemetery, where it was inferred
after short service.
