RUTHERFORD +. HAYES.
January II, 1873.

On his breast rested the beautiful
decoration of cOmmander-in-chie of
the Loyal legion, and on the left lapel
OF the dre-s coat the decoration Of the
Army o! West Virginia. Across the
wide window seat III the south end of
the room stretched a large American
flag, held in place by bunches of white
and yellow roses and wreaths of many
Colored heliOtropes, exl allng their pen
etratlng perfume on the freezing air.
The bitter We her and delayed trains
prevented many OF the most beautiful
floral pieces from reaching the resi-
dence until the hour of the funeral.

cession moved was as follows:

Two rooms of the mansion, through
which the January sunshine was stream
ing, we're filled with most dlstln-
guished company when the simple fare
well services of the dead President be-
gan at , o'clock in the south parlor and
the large bed chamber in the
rear of it, long occupied by
Grover Cleveland, the members of
President Harrison's cabinet, repre-
sentatives Of the United States Senate
and the officers Of the army and navy
sent to represent their departments
Here, too, the family were seated.
The room is of medium size, with three
large windows. Above the mantel,
where glowed a fire of natural gas, is q
fine portrait of Gen. Hayes daughter,
in early girlhood, and several por-
traits of Mrs. Hayes, taken at
different times, are notable feat
ures of the room. Across the
wide hall in the large north parlOr and
the library to the rear of it were Gov.
Mckinley and his staff, the members OF
Ohio General Assembly and other rep
bplJaG and friends n he
far north end of the room many were
standing, the throng of distinguished
men being too great to permit the seat
ing of all. In the front hall were
grouped the double quartette under the
leadership OF Prof. Alfred Arthur, Of
the Cleveland Conservatory of Music,
a member of Gen. Hayes old regl-
ment, which with Mrs. +. H..
Dorr, of this city, sang the hymns
chosen by the family, with tenderness
and feeling. The Rev. J. l.. Allbritun,
of the NJ. Z. Church of Fremont, stand
ing between the doors of the parlors IN
the expansive hall, read the 23d Psalm
after q hymn, and was followed IN
PRAYER by President j. W. Bashtord,
u. D., who, some forty-tive years ago,
united in marriage Lucy WEBB and
Rutherford Is. HAYES, in ChilllCothe, o.
Another hymn, The Lords Prayer"
repeated impressively, and the simple
solemn services at the house were over
The bodv-bearers lifted the remains,
and bore them from the hushed man
sion amid sobs and falling tears.
GEN. HAYES PLACED N THE TOMB.
The long, sad procession wound out
through the native forest of Spiegel
Grove, which the illustrlous dead had
nourished with such loving care, down
Birchard Avenue and out Buoklahd to
Oakwood Cemetery, W here, after the
brief and simple ritual of the Grand
Army of the Republic, all that was
mortal of Rutherford B. Haves, nine
trenth President of the United States,
was committed to the tomb. The Gen
erals body lies beside the remains OF
Mrs. HAYES, who died two years ago.
The grave is marked by tall but un-
assuming shaft OF Vermont granite, one
panel bearing the name OF Mrs. Hayes.
II other being left blank for that OF
Gen HAYES and the date of MS death.
