Laid to Rest.
The remains of Mr.. Allen W.
Love were laid to rest in the beau
tiful cemetery overlooking the
village of Dexter. Ohio. Sunday.
July 10th.
The remains were taken from
this place to Dexter, Ohio, on a
special train, and were accompan-
led by a large number of Odd Fell
lows and Knights of Pythias from
the Lodges of this city, besides
number of members of the
Brotherhood of Locomotive Err

The funeral train leaving here at
$50 a. m. and arriving at Dexter
at 10 a. m.
On the arrival of the funeral
train at Dexter, the village was
crowded with people, and Amber
Lodge. No. ST, L o. o. F. was
drawn up in line to receive the re-
mains of their deceased brother,
and take charge of the funeral.
His remains were taken to his
fathers house where they laid in
state for some three hours. where
they were viewed by his brothers
of the Lodges represented, and by
the citizens who had come to pay
their last sad respects to the de-
ceased, who had been born and
reared among them, and who all
held him in the highest esteem.
The writer of this heard no
word but that of praise of Allen
W. Love among that vast throng,
and all regretted that one SO young
and SO full of promise should be
cut down at the very beginning
of active manhood, he being but
little over twenty-eight years of
age at the time of his death.
After viewing of the body of the
deceased, the remains were convey
ed to lovely grove just in the
rear of his fathers house, where
the beautiful and impressive funer-
al ceremony of the Odd Fellows
was read, and where Rev. Mr..
Harkins, of the Disciples church,
delivered most eloquent funeral
sermon, in which he paid high
tribute to the many virtues Of the
deceased. reviewing his life from
his boyhood up to his death here
in Point Pleasant.
From the grove theremains were
conveyed to the cemetery, where
they were placed in their last rest
ing place. the Odd Fellows con-
Quoting the ceremonies
It is estimated that over a thous-
and people were present at the
funeral of Mr.. Love, thus attesdng
the high respect and love they had
for him from his boyhood to his
manhood. and as his body was
lowered into the grave there were
but few dry eyes in all that large
crowd of people.
The Register extends its deepest
sympathies to his wife and child,
and to his aged father and mother
and to his weeping and mourning
sisters, as does our whole COM
munity.
May God bless and protect the
widow and the orphan in their
struggles in this life, is our prayer.
some day through the mists of the earthly
We shall catch the glean of the harbor light
That shines for aye on the far or shore
Where dwell the loved who have gone before;
We shall anchor safe from our stormy way
In that haven of rest, some day some day
Some day our sorrows viii be Ger
And Wen rest from trouble forevermorei
When over the rivers rolling tide
We shall strike glad hands on the other
side;
In the city celestial. at last We may
Rest in peace, some day. some day.
Some day wiz close these weary eyes
That shall look no more on the earthly skies,
And over The heart that has ceased to beat
Kind hands VII place fresh flowers sweet;
But my soul shall hear the celestial lay,
Sweet peeans Of praise, some day
