 Lodges Represented Beautiful
 Tribute From Dr. Twitchen,
 The lower part of Shelton avenue was thronged yesterday afternoon with people and carriages. At the late residence of Mir. A. A. Townsend at 53 Shelton avenue throngs of friends and members of fraternal societies filled the house and clus- tered about the piazza and along the streets to show by their presence their respect for the deceased, the news of whose tragic death at the Hotel Royal fire caused such feelings of sorrow in the community. In the front parlor in a closed coffin banked with flowers, lay the charred re- mains of the deceased. There were callas in abundance and were others and pillows of flowers of every hue. In Relief lodge's floral contributions the purple and blue flowers, ,emblematic of Odd Fellowship, pre- dominated. One of the most beautiful pieces was an immense pillow with the initials of the lodge in raised letters, con- tributed by the Ancient Order of United Workmen.
 There were present at the funeral, be- sides the immediate friends and relatives of the deceased and a large number of his | former associates in business life, Relief lodge, I. O. of O. F., of which MT. Town send was prominent member, and dele | gations from the Fraternal circle, Knights | of Honor, and A. O. U. w.
 At 9 o'clock Dr. Twitchell of the Dwight Place church began the funeral services.
 He made beautiful prayer, full of thanks | for the character of the life that was just
 ended, whose inner workings he knew so
 we'll He paid glowing tribute to the
 faithful Christian life of deceased. In
 business he was ever upright and honor
 able; in his social life he was loved and
 esteemed by all. Then in a touching
 manner he prayed that strength
 from on high might be given to the bereaved widow and children, that
 the god of the widows and of the father less might be ever with them to guide
 Especially he besought that the widow
 might be given prudence and wisdom, that l in the great trust and responsibility that now devolyed upon her she might he ena, | bled always to act with honor and accord
 ing to the divine will.
 MT. Townsend up to within few years
 was deacon and earnest worker in the Dwight Place church.
 | At the conclusion the large cortege was
 formed and proceeded to the Grove street | cemetery. There the services were con-
 ducted by the Odd Fellows, Chaplain H. G | Ford leading in the impressive exercises of
 the order. All the flowers were left at the | grave. The bearers were N. w. Hoyt, J
