SU0aOy, nelSnOOTly, nOn0SU man, ant
long a worthy member of the Method
ist church. His funeral was held yes
terday, at Bloomington Center, and
he was buried in his family lot at that
place.
Memorial services were held here
on Monday last, as previously an
nounced. The comrades visited the
different cemeteries in the forenoon,
placing flags and flowers on the
graves Of soldiers of the different wars
buried therein. Comrades Dryer and
Randall prepared beautiful wreathes
etc., and visited Lyndon Center GEM
etery, where the remains of Captain
Quimby, for whom the Post is named,
friends erected their flag, and placed
their floral tributes on the honored
grave. A procession was formed here,
consisting of the Post, w. r. c., Sons
of Veterans, children and citizens,
which marched under the lead Of the
band to the village burying ground,
where the ritual ceremonies were held.
Returning, the people assembled in
the Opera Hall, where Hon. Walter P.
Smith delivered a most able, in
structive and scholarly address. He
spoke Of the element of courage in the
human mind as one Of the noblest at
| tributes, and showed what this had
done for men III different ages of the
world. Until within comparatively
modern time courage had been dis
played only, so far as great things
were concerned, in behalf of the state.
! Men had not understood that the no
blest exercise of this quality was in
behalf of self, home, virtuous princi-
pies The coming into being Of re-
publics as forms ST government was
spoken Of, and the causes assigned
which led to their downfall. Natur-
ally, the speaker came to speak of the
American republic as the best exam
pie OF a republican form OF govern
ment; the growth, power and influ-
ence OF this republic were referred to,
the crisis period Of the rebellion was
dWeltupon and the nature of the fierce
| contest, with description of some of
the battle scenes were given, which
were particularly fine. We have sell
dom read or heard anything better on
the Gettysburgh battle than Judge
Smith gave on this occasion. Turn
ing from the war, the speaker discuss
ed in a mastery manner the great
! questions Of the day. The whole adj
dress was replete with good thought,
and the style most excellent. The
band did itself UNUSUAL credit on this
day, and the citizens Of the village are
proud Of it. Marshal II. @. Pierce
should be complinented for his man
agement of the procession, as well as
his good looks on q Weu-behayed
horse. Taken together with the ex-
cenent service of the Sunday preced-
ing, it was a notable occasion in this
village.
