The solemn tones of the tolling bell
told the already large congregation
within of its approach. At quarter
past three the solemn procession filed
| in, Rev. 5. G. Simpkins leading, fol-
| lowed by six young men and two
| young ladies bearing flowers. Next
| came the Casket, carried by eight
| young girls, members of the Bible class
| to which the deceased belonged. The
| choir sang My Jesus as Thou Wilt
| Halsey Lathrope, superintendent OF
| the Sunday school, offered a fervent
| prayer. Rev. Simpkins preached very
| impressively a sermon from the text
| Samuel 20-1S: And thou shalt be
missed, because thy seat will be emp
| ty." At the close the close sang "Somt
| Sweet Day Bye and Bye" and while
| the large COnCourse Of people went fill
| ing past viewing the remains they
| again sang tenderly "The Christian!
| Good Night" after which she was ten
derly laid away in Prospect cemetery
