Cumberland, Md, Jan. 11.-Follow-
ed by host of sorrowing friends, the
mortal remains of Ex-Gov Lloyd
Lowndes were laid to rest in Rose
Hill Cemetery today. The services
at the house, the church and the
graveside were of an impressive char
acter.
There was general suspension of
business in this city between the
hours of 10 and o'clock, and hun
dreds of tOwnspeople gathered on the
streets leading from the Lowndes
home to Emmanuel Protestant Epis-
cOpal Church, and from there to Rose
Hill Cemetery, to pay last silent
tribute to the deceased. Country
people from miles around also jour
neyed here to visit the house and the
church and to watch the passing of
the cortege.
The public schools closed at 1920
O'Clock to permit teachers and schol-
airs to attend the funeral. The Ale
gany County Academy suspended for
the entire day.
Many prominent men came here in
the special and regular trains from
Baltimore, Washington, Annapolis,
Philadelphia and New York.
Scores of vehicles of all kinds form
ed seemingly endless line to carry
mourners to the cemetery, and the
floral tributes filled a dozen carriages.
The services at the house, which
were held at II O'Clock, were brief,
and the cOrtege at once took up it's
solemn march through the crowds to
the church, which is but a short dis
tance away. a double row of police
men, under Mayor Clarence S. King,
kept path open for the mourners to
the church door
That edifice had been besieged by
a great crowd an hour before the
doors were opened, and it was most
difficult matter to discriminate be-
tween those who were best entitled
to enter and others who were no less
anxious to pay their tributes of sor-
row at the services. Many who de-
sired were unable to gain admission.
The scene inside the house of wor-
ship in whose interest the ex-Goyer-
nor had played such an important
and valued part during his life was
one of deep solemnity.
