ON Friday afternoon when large
concourse of people assembled to pay
their last respects and to hear words
of coincidence and sympathy by Pastor

from the passage, "Let not your
heart be troubled" The singing by
the Bigelow male quartette was es-
pecially fine. Miss Mary Goodrich of
Barre city presided at the organ, and
the profusion of flowers sent by
friends from Massachusetts, most en-
phatically bespoke their loss, sympathy
and sorrow. The pail bearers were
Charles a. Hixson, an uncle of the
deceased, Charles, Lewis and Arthur
Bigelow. The ceremonies were i'll
charge of Judge G. II. Bigelow.
