~
Hon H. S. Mygatt was in Danbury,
Friday, and attended the funeral of
Jabez Amsbury, held at 230 p. m. at
the late home of the deceased, on Deer
Hill avenue. 1t was largely attended
by friends and relatives and the serv-
ice was impressive. A wealth of beau
tiful flowers testified to the sympathy
Of many friends, both in town and out,
and striking tribute was paid to the
deceased by the closing Of number
Of stores on Main street during the
time of the funeral. The service was
conducted by Rev Charles B. Bolles,
pastor of the Second Baptist church,
in which Mr. Amsbury was so long a
worker. After the reading of the
opening part of the service, there was
talk by Rev A. c.. Hubbard, d. D.,
pastor emeritis of the same church
He and the deceased had been united
in the work of the church and Sunday
school for many years and DR. Hub
bard's talk dwelt lovingly on the mem
Amsbury's personal, religious and bust
ness qualities and paid a glowing trib-
ute to his memory. Rev c. A. Paddock
of Hartford also spoke curing the
service. Mr. Piddock had many times
been associated in religious work, par
ticularly that of the Sunday school,
with Mr. Amsbury, and was close
personal friend of the deceased. He
spoke earnestly of Mr. Amsbury's ster-
ling qualities and related many in
stances of the integrity and earnest
ness of purpose of the deceased. The
services closed with a prayer by Rev
Mr. Bolles and the burial in Wooster
cemetery followed. The pail bearers
were Samuel H. Rumble, Thomas G.
