Funeral Services of &. f..
COvilIe, Esq.


MIR. G.. E. Coville died at the resi-
dence of w. F. Pogue, Esq, manager
of Haleakala Ranch, during the early
morning hours of the 18th inst. He
had suffered much and long, and the
hemorrhage of the lungs that caused
his death was, to him, fortunate
event, as it released him not only
from the long drawn ont suffering of
a mortal disease, but also from those
attendant mental il!s-gloem and
despair. Services were held at the
house during the afternoon of the
18th inst. by the Rev. L. l.. Gulick IN
the presence of many friends and a
good representation of the Kahului
Lodge of knights of Pythias.
The display of flowers was lavish
and most beautiful. After singing the
hymn Crock of Ages" the funeral
procession moved downward to the
burial ground of the old foreign
church of Makawao. where, standing
by the open grave, DR.. Herbert read
the simple but most impressive ser
vice of the followers Of Pythias.
Messrs. Armstrong, Vettlesen,
Nishwitz, Carley, Hooking and Om-
sted acted as ball bearers for their
deceased brother knight.
Cory E. Coville was born in Ithaca,
N. Y, some thirty three years ago.
He was the son of Mr.. and Mrs. G.
Coville, now residents of Dover, DeIa-
ware, his father, mother and sister
still surviving him. He graduated
from Marietta College (Ohio) in 1880,
w. f. Pogue being his classmate
and most intimate friend. Directly
after graduation, he came to Maui,
and for five years was in the employ
of the III. G. & S. Co.'s store at Kahu-
lui. The next intervening years were
spent in Honolulu, from '07 to May
'92 having employment at the Custom
House. During the spring of last
year, he came by the advice of his
friend (W. F. Pogue) to Makawao,
where he vainly attempted to recu-
perate his shattered health.
Mr.. Coville was man Of fine
character, formed through years of
the best of home training, his par
ents being people of strong religious
tendencies. He possessed most re-
fined sensibility, SO delicate that any
thing discordant or out of good
taste, either in speech or action,
Jared upon him, causing discomfort.
He admired the best of books and
sought the society of the best of PEG
pie. This is what his friends think of
him, and they all called him, gentle
man.
