At 7:30 O'Clock this morning a
large crowd assembled at the Whit
field hotel to attend the funeral ser
vices over the remains of Capt. r.
NJ. Love.
The local Masonic lodge had
charge and the beautiful service of
that order was read, after which the
solemn march to the grave at Te-
huacana was taken up and many
followed the body TO the last rest
ing place.
AT the grave the Masons officiated
again and the casket was lowered
and the grave filled, and all that re-
mains mortal of the christian gem
tleman, the loyal citizen and the
faithful officer is forever hidden
from view.
Many Of the state officials who
came here with the body remained
over for the funeral and returned to
Austin on the noon train.
The scene at the grave was An
affecting one, where the wife and
children were gathered about the
last resting place of the loving hus-
band and fond parent, while the
large crowd of people who had
known deceased through life attest
ed their love for the man, who a
few days ago visited his old home,

loss in the death of Capt. Love, and
the grief stricken family have the
