held at the Plainfeld street Baptist
church at 2 o'clock yesterday afternoon
and was one OF the largest held at this
place OF worship for a long time. There
were none young or old who took more In
terest In the welfare OF the church than
this young fellow.
He was the president OF the Young Peo-
pies Christian Endeavor society and for
some tome had been one OF the ushers OF
the church and was particularly interest
ed I'm the cause OF temperance. The SER

prominent was the offering from the
Christian Endeavor society connected
with the church.

Robert II. Anderson. Leslie Swain and
Victor +. Bainton The interment was at
Pocasset cemetery.
