Tribute by @. NJ. Loring.
The funeral of Fred G.. PiHsbury. who
died early Sunday morning. occurred
yesterday afternoon at 2:30, from the
family residence, at Tenth street and
Third avenue south. Owing to the nat
nre of the malady of which Mr.. Pills
bury died, the funeral was private. the
only exceptions being made in the case
of the Scottish Rite Masons. The Ma
sons turned out in full regalia, to the
number of 200, and at 2 o'clock there
were $50 carriages at the West hotel
waiting to carry them to the residence.
When the hour for the funeral arrived
Tenth street was blocked for a square
each way with carriages from the door
of the residence. This line of carriages
followed the casket to Lakewood, and
was one of the longest and most impos-
ing funeral professions ever seen in the
CITY. There were no services at the
house, and the simple services at the
grave were conducted by Rev. Wayland
Hoyt, of the First Baptist church.
All of the PiIlsbury mills were shut
down during the day on account of the
funeral, and flags were flying at half
mast from the chamber of commerce
and corn exchange. Mir. Pillsbury was
vice president of the chamber of COM
merce and when that body met yeSter-
day morning, resolutions of regret were
adopted.
c. N. Lorlng paid the following beau
tiful tribute to the deceased miller yes
