the following selections: "Come Ye Dis

the Riverside mill, beautiful wreath
from the Christian Endeavor, large pill
low and a number of smaller pieces from
relatives, while there were numerous
bouquets, etc., from other friends; one
in particular being Of twenty-five pinks

former school teacher. The large collec-
tion of handsome potted plants on and
around the platform, which, In a measure,
seemed to dispell the gloom attendant up
on the funeral exercises, were kindly
loaned by neighbors in the immediate
vicinity of the church. The burial was
In Hillside cemetery, and besides the Inn
mediate relatives, the remains were &C
companied to the yard by the Christian
Endeavor and nearly the entire congrega-
ton, where the Episcopal burial service
was used, the quartet singing, "Nearer
My God To Thee" The deceased leaves
