There was large at I tendance of sorrowing friends gather ed to pay the last sad tribute of affec- tion and regard to one greatly esteemed for his virtues and nobility of heart and character. and in whose departure they had lost dear friend The ser vices were deeply solemn and impress sive, and were felt by all hearts as the beautiful ritual of the Episcopal church was read. The Rev. MT. Beardsley of St. Thomas church, of which deceased was member, and Rev. MT. Sexton of the Episcopal church in Cheshire con- ducted the services, alternating in the reading, most impressiyely The words of the scripture seemed to touch all hearts as they spoke of the bereave- ment, of the consolation of the gospel, of mortality and immortality, of the life that now is and the life beyond. At the close of the services Rev. MT. Beardsley announced that the burial would be later and the large assembly of mourning people departed, a few re- maining moment to take the last look at the face of the departed. Before the services the last look had been taken by those present. The remains looked very life-like, excepting for the evidence of the wasting power of disease, and, as was remarked by one and another afterward, he seemed like one in a quiet sleep. On the casket lay a magnificent wreath of ivy, and near it collection of violets in the midst of exquisite large and costly sprays of ferns. On the car pet near the bier were pots of lilies of the valley, and resting against the wall near by was a cross of most exquisite white flowers, of the finest nature af- lords at this season. The remains were laid at rest in the very beautiful plot of the family m the Grove street cem- etery by the side of the remains of his beloved wife, who passed to the better life a few years ago. An elegant mon ument stands in the plot, erected by the deceased not long ago. It is surely one of the most beautiful of the many fine monuments in this old cemetery of New Haven, where lie so many of the city's honored sons and daughters of this and past generations.
