Carriages were in waiting for the visit
ors from San Francisco, and the funeral
| cortege was soon formed led by the First
Artillery Band, which played solemn
dirges during the march to the cemetery.
| But for the steady downpour of rain the
| funeral procession would have been even
more imposing, as Colonel Raymond
numbered his friends and admirers in
this city by thousands.
Excellent preparations had been made
| at the cemetery, by Funeral Director
George II. Clark, for the comfort Of those
participating directly in the burial serv-
| ices. A handsome canvas canopy was
| stretched IN front of the crypt, and be-
yond it large and comfortable tent of
similar material which shielded all their
occupants from the rain. The floor was
covered with mating and provided with
chairs, while the muddy walk from the
gate TO the vault was covered with saw
dust
Resting at the entrance to the vault
were large number of elegant flower
pieces, the offerings of friends. Among
these was representation of a broken
column, i've feet in hight, composed Of
orchid leaves ard flowers. 1t came from
Senator and Mrs. Stanford. There was
also wreath of orchids, from J. d. Red
ding; floral pillow, from Richard Chute
and j. Z. Brown; a large floral star, from
Frank J. Mof1it and II. p. Squire, and
many other beautiful designs. Above the
/ door of the vault was suspended a large
| floral piece from George H. Clark, repre-
| senting q slab, 2x6 feet. 1t had border
of fern leaves, and through the center.
worked in violets, on bed of white flow
ers, was fac-simile of the signature Of
| the deceased-"Creed Haymond.n
The knoll on the crest of which stands
the vault was thronged with people. in
| Guiding several ladies', who braved the
| pitiless rain while the elaborate and i'm
pressive Masonic burial service was read
| by Worshipful Master G.. A. White of
! Union Lodge.
During the services the Orpheus Male
Quartet, composed of Messrs. w. H.
Kinross, r. L. Cohn. Horace A. Crocker
and G. i. Milliken, sang "Good-By,u
'Welcome, Traveller, Home," and ''Over
Yonder."
At the conclusion of the services, and
| when the casket had been laid in the
vault, platoon of sixteen soldiers from
Company G fired three volleys over the
spot; the heavy door was closed and
sealed, and the mourners turned sadly
away.
