During the crush opposite the doors
or the church Mrs. l.. A. Clark, of 496
South Morgan street, tainted. Before
she was gotten out of the crowd she
was severely crushed and bruised. A
patrol wagon took her to the county
hospital.
Arrived at the church. the remains
were placed within thechancel rail. and
i'll the presence OF great congregation
OF the friends of the mayor the beauti-
ful Episcopal service for the dead was
read by the Rev. L. n. Morrison Jr.
The music was by forty choir boys robed
In black caSSockS and white SurpliceS.
Out from the edifice echoing to the
saddened strains of the great organ, al
most hidden beneath WreathS and let
terS and roses, the caSket was borne, and
the march TO the cemetery began. Down
Washington boulevard, across the river
and then TO the North side the process
sion moved in unbroken column and
upon streets everywhere lined with
great crowds. About two miles north
from the center of the city the foot Dor-
ton of the line distandtd. while the
mounted officers and those in carriages
went on to the cemetery.
The services at the church were not
of great duration, consisting only of an
address by Rev. T. N. Morrison, the
rector. and the singing of several
hymns. The last hymn rendered was
blessed Are the Dead" and while it
was being given the caSket was borne
from the church to the herSe.
A sad scene occurred when the chief
mourners moved out to the carriages.
Miss Annie Howard, who had endured
the strain of the services with remark
able fortitude, gave way completely
and burst into violent weeping when
the portals of the church had been
passed. Her whole frame trembIed with
the force of her emotion, while her
passionate sobs moved the hearts of all
who stoOd near. Sympathetic friends
assisted her 10 carriage, and she was
driven to the Harrison residence. Here
her strength seemed to fail her COM
pletely, and she would have sunk to the
pavement as she attnmpted to walk to
the house had not her friends supported
her. When within the house ber tears
burst out anew, and the soothing of
anxious friends was unavailing. Throw
ing herself into chair, the desolate
woman gave completely away to an
agony OF grief. The bitterness of her
sorrow at last spent its power, and lov-
ing hands carried her to her room and
much-needed rest. Later her condition
improved, and she is thought to be in no
danger.
Preston Harrison, the mayors son,
was overcome during the services and
tainted, but was soon revived with
stimulants.
Darkness was fast gathering when
the head of the funeral cortege reached
Graceland cemetery. In front of the
no
cago Hussars. He qnickly wheeled the
body OF horse, forming two lines, one on
either side of the road. There they
stood at present arms until the process
sion passed into the grounds.
The cortege moved directly to the
Graceland chapel, where the casket
will remain until it is finally inferred.
In the chapel fifty members of the
. United German Singing societies sang
Under the Willows He Rests" and
Mr.. Morrison made short prayer and
gave the benedictlon. Then the singers
softly sang ''SweetheaTt Is Slumber-
ing" anu the final services were over.
