The largest delegation at the funeral
came from the Consolidated railroad.
A special train arrived at the Back
Bay station at 2:15 with the board of
directors and friends of the late presi-
dent. On this We're about 200.
About 2 o'clock a regular train had
two extra coaches attached and these
bore the officials of the western divi-
sion of the road. The officers of the
eastern division, who are located in
Boston, marched to the Back Bay sta
ton in body and met the incoming
delegations. General Superintendent
Davenport then formed the officials
and friends in line and they marched
to the Central Congregational church,
where the services were held.
The loyal legion delegation numbered
nearly six hundred, and all We're not
able to secure seats. The men were in
uniform, but took no active part in the
service. Officials of the Boston and AL
bany and Boston and Maine railroads
also had seats in the church
There was a profusion of flowers, one
huge set piece being the gift of the
Consolidated road directors, but the
majority being the personal offerings
of friends.
At the church the casket was taken
into the vestibule, where it remained
under guard until the various delega-
lions and. the congregation had been
seated.
