Nearly 1000 people, by actual count
came during the morning to take last
look at the features of the departed. and
there was scarcely standing room in the
chamber during the services in the after
noon. Fully 1000 people went out to the
cemetery to be present at the last rites,
and it was one of the largest funerals
ever held in this city. During the serv-
ices there the choir sang Farewell" !"
''Nearer. My God. to Thee and "God Be
With You Till We Meet Again."
