FUNERAL OF c. W. HoRR.

The funeral Of G. W. Horr was held at
his late residence on South Main street,
Friday afternoon. The day was an un-
pleasant one, but that did not prevent a
large cOncourse of people being in attend
ance. The remains rested in the north
west parlOr, the casket being beautifully
decorated with flowers and wreathes ap-
propriate for the occasion. The services
were on the eulOgistic plan by six select
ed speakers.
DR.. Norton S. Townsend, Of Columbus,
o., was the first speaker. He spoke of
the first school days of the deceased. Mr..
HOrr lived with him when he resided in
Elyria and cared for his Office, doing
chores, and went to school. He exhibited
the same signs Of push and energy then
that he did in after years. On account
of his being a fatherless boy the doctor
had always taken great deal of interest
in his future welfare md he was glad to
say that his life had been success with
his departed friend.
Hon. NJ D. Harter was the next speak
er. He spoke Of the deceased as a dear
and true friend. Whatever he believed
to be right he practiced fearlessly. The
speaker said he was severely shocked to
learn Of his death and was glad the
circumstances permitted him to be
present to offer word in behalf of his
inestimable friend.
DR.. Biggar, Of Cleveland, was the next
speaker. His remarks were professional,
as he had become acquainted with the
deceased by being a physician. He had
learned to admire him for the parental
care he gave to his family in times Of
serious afflictiOn. The doctor had treated
his son the year previous, when he lay
at Deaths door for many weeks, and he
believed that the over anxiety the de-
ceased had for his sons recovery had a
tendency to hasten the time for his own
death.
Hon. W. A. Braman, Of Elyria, was
the next speaker. He and the deceased
were school boys together, and in after
| years became associated as partners in
business, and their relations down to the
| day of his death were of the most pleasant.
| He deemed 1t great pleasure to be
present, and add a word to the virtues Of
his deceased friend.
E. F. Webster was the next speaker.
Mr.. Webster was very much affected and
it was with some difficulty that he could
speak, as the sudden death of his friend
and business partner had almost un-
nerved him. He said that he had been
associated with the deceased for quarter
Of century and all their business re-
laticns had been Of the most pleasant
nature. Honesty Of purpose had been
the watchwOrd Of the firm. The speaker
then referred to the many virtues Of the
deceased in both public and private and
that his loss would be severely felt. Mr..
Webster made one of the best efforts Of
his life as the audience was in food Of
tears when he closed.
Hon. s. s. Warner was the last speak
er. He spoke feelingly of the deceased
as they had been closely connected for
a third Of century. Death had called
his friend away so quickly that he could
scarcely realize that he was gone. Mr..
Warner was so affected that he could
scarcely complete his remarks.
A quartet of singers were present, Miss
Bertha HOwk, Miss Emma Tissot, Hugh
Allyn and D. P. Stroup, who opened and
closed the exercises at the house. The
burial was private. W. R. Wean de-
liyered the eulogy at the grave.
