The Torrey Funeral.

The last sad rites were said yester-
day afternoon for Frank Torrey, Jr.,
and all that was mortal Of the young
man was inferred in Aspen Grove GEM
etery in this city, the home Of his
youth. DR. William Salter, an old
friend Of the family, made a brief adj
dress at the grave, and the body of
man called away at the threshold of
such a promising career, was con-
signed to the earth.
4, A special train of three cars arriv-
ing at $3.50 o'clock brought the fu-
neral party from the home at La
Grange, ILL.,, where the funeral was
held yesterday morning. In the party
were the members of the Torrey fam
lily, and friends of the young man and
Of the family. Six young men, all
friends of the deceased were pail
bearers.
At the depot, many friends Of Frank
Torrey and of his father, Frank Tor
rey, ST., were awaiting the trains ar
rival. About fifty railroad men had
come from Ottumwa, where the young
man was working at the time Of his
illness, and about twenty-five from
Creston. Many expressions Of sorrow
were heard on every hand. Nor were
friends in Chicago lacking In tokens Of
sympathy. With the train came a pro-
fusion of floral remembrances, requir-
ing an express wagon to convey them
to the cemetery.
A large number OF carriages were Ir
waiting to convey the party to the
cemetery. Street cars were also at the
depot to take the large number who
could not be accommodated by the
carriages.
At the cemetery DR.. William Salter
offered prayer and spoke a few words
Of sympathy for the bereaved family
and friends. Two selections, Why
Should We Weep? and Nearer My God
to Thee, were rendered by the Trinity
Lutheran quartet, consisting of Mrs
Arthur Cook. Mrs Anna Canny
Adolph Fritz and w. j. Wohlwend.
The funeral party returned to, La
Grange on the special train at $50.
Frank Torrey, Jr., was young mar
who made friends readily. and kept
them. Although but twenty-four years
Of age, he was we'll known on the road
and will be missed by many. In theil
hour of sorrow, the parents and broth
er and sister have the sincere SYM
rathy of hundreds of friends. At the
cemetery yesterday afternoon were
flowers that had been sent by many
friends in Chicago, Burlington, Ottum-
wa Creston and other cities, forming
a floral display rarely surpassed ir
beauty. Hawk-Eye.
