OF
JAKE. LEVY

Over the remains Of Jake Levy, was
solemnixed this afternoon the first
funeral services ever held in Temple
Montefiore. 1t is not the general Gus
tom Of the Jewish people to hold fun
eral services In the temples In the
case Of rabbi or public official the
practice Ia followed, but not generally
otherwise. In the present instance.
however, the young man deceased was
SO widely known and popular. and 50
many citizens were anxious to at
tea the services, that 1t was decided
they should take place in the temple.
A large cOncOurse gathered at the
temple at 2:30 this afternoon. Beauti-
ful music was rendered by a choir
composed OF Mrs. ]. H. Stearns. Miss
Callahan, Messrs. Barnes and Kinkel
with Mrs. Chas. Kohn at the organ.
Rabbi DR.. Lefkovits delivered an elo-
quent and impressive eulogy, setting
forth the many noble qualities and
good traits of deceased In most ef-
fective manner.
Many and beautiful floral offer
ings constituted the last tribute Of af-
fection that could be paid TO all that
was mortal Of the Young man.
A large number of friends followed
the remains to the last resting place
In the Jewish cemetery. In the days
that have elapsed since the terrible
accident. the sorrow and regret that
has seemed to deepen that the prom
ising young life had TO he so rudely
snatched from the scenes OF IFS use-
fulness and from beyond the contact
with those who priced 1t so dearly.
