Mr.. and Mrs. Samuel Mather of Cleve-
land, the latter a sister of Mrs. Hay.
and A. Raymond, also a relative of

The train left here at 11:22 o'clock
this forenoon and is due to arrive in

brought downstairs from the death
chamber and the casket was enclosed
in a rosewood box, in which it viii re-
pose until the funeral on Wednesday.
Mrs. Hay and Clarence Hay stood
the trying ordeal braveIy, although
they showed plainly the effects of the
strain which they had been under
Drenehing Rain.
Early today the skies became over
cast and a drenching rain began to
fall The narrow. winding mountain
road was transformed into a channel
of mud and was in wretched condition
when the time arrived for the sad
journey.
At about $40 o'clock an express wa
gon was driven from the stable to the
front door of the house and the casket
was borne out by the servants and
placed in the vehicle. The journey
from THE Fells' to the station was
over distance of two and a half
miles.
The casket which was covered With
a rubber blanket. had been dashed TO
the wagon, the steepness of the hills
making such a precaUtiOn necessary.
It was followed by the undertaken and
Walter Grout, Secretary Hays coach
man. Both men walked. Not a per
son was met on the lonely mountain
road, and the window shades of the
few scattered farm houses along the
torrents as the little party trudged
over the muddy roads
With Heads Barred.
The trip to NewbUry station occupied
nearly an hour. Almost all the resi-
dents of the little hamlet were assem-
bled at the station, awaiting the ar
rival of the funeral party. and when
the wagon with the secretaTy'S body
neared the station the crowd on the
platform stood with heads barred
The funeral train. consisting OF
combination baggage car, the sleeping
car KOenigsberg and funeral car or
the Boston & Maine railroad, was
standing on the siding
The wagon was driven to the rear OF
the funeral car and several Newbury
citizens assisted the undertaken and
cOachman in transferring the caSket.
At the moment when the caSket was
placed on board the train there was a
rift in the clouds and for the first and
only time during the day the lofty hills
were bathed in sunshine. Less than
FIVE minutes later the rain began to
fall again. Shortly after IL o'clock a
closed carriage was driven to the sta
ton. Clarence Hay was the first to
alight. and Mr.. Mather. Mrs. Mather
Mrs. Hay. DR.. Scudder and Mr.. Ray
mOnd followed
Mrs. Hay walked unaided to the
train, and was quickly Joined by her
son. The other member of the party
occupied a position on the car.
Left Ahead of Time.
The train was due to leave on its
westward journey at 1870 O'Clock, but
inasmuch as the track was clear and
there was no necessity of remaining
longer at New bury. the division super
intendent of the railroad gave orders
for the train to start ten minutes
ahead of the time arranged
