All that was mortal OF Henry &. Hun
/ tingtOn, who passed away al Rochester,
I VT, Monday, was laid to rest this after
noon in the Old cemetery and only the
memory OF the one beloved now remains
/ to be cherished by sorrowing friends and
relatives. Mrs. huntington and daughter,
accompanied by Flynn Guernsey, OF
| Rochester, VT, composing the funeral
partys arrived in the city this morning on
the three o'clock train.
Born in Vermont about fifty seven years
ago, a most fitting coincidence, Mr.. Hun
tington passed the last few days Of his
existence IN his own Green Mountain
state.
For over twenty-five years Mr.. Hum
tington has suffered with that dread dis
ease, rheumatism, and this spring made
the journey to Hot Springs, Arkansas, in
search Of relief.
Although beneficial, the treatment did
not bring the desired results, and Florida
was next visited, where the traveller
seemed, as far as could be ascertained
through his letters, to have gained some
what in health and strength. About ten
days ago Mr.. Huntington left for a visit
with relatives at Rochester, VT, and the
first news received after that was a tele-
gram stating that he was very III and re-
wife and daughter. Saturday the anxious
ones reached their destination and sent a
dispatch to this city which left but little
hope OF recovery.
In addition TO his wife, nee Della War
ner whom he married several years ago,
and daughter, Helen, the deceased leaves to
mourn him, two sisters, Mrs. +. Guern-
sey OF Rochester, n. Y, and Mrs. VIM.

the Rev. j. V. Whiting, commenced short
ly sfter two O'Clock, with the invocation
and a hymn by a quartet composed of
Miss Ruth Tunnicliffe, Mrs. j. y. Gamble
and Messrs. +. {. and l.. c. Kent. After
scripture reading and prayer, the minister
who has been an intimate friend OF the
deceased for some years, spoke briefly on
the life OF the departed, finding his theme
in John 4, 36-3S zone Soweth and Another

Of what shall be. There is no wood for
fuel, no beauty and no shade. 1t lives for
the future. Even so Chris. died before
the harvest. His life and thoughts were
like seeds.
Henry Huntington was a link in the
long chain. He added to the worlds

his life, be was an exemplary business
man, honorable and honored by his fellow
men. He contributed a share to the sum

had been all his life, a Christian worker |
Others will reap where he has sown, and |
