Mourned by sorrowing friends and
placed in mother earth by the hands
OF men who had known and loved him
the last of all that was mortal of
the late Charles Quarles was laid at

of the members of the family to make

possible more than a hundred Of the
friends of the deceased were gathered
about the grave when the last sad rites
were performed by the Rev. Everett A.

The company gathering about the
grave in the City Cemetery was the
most distinguished body Of men ever
seen at funeral in Kenosha and all
of them came to express their real sor-
row at the death of their friend and fell
low associate. In the company about
the grave leading men of the state
touched elbows with loWly citizens of
Kenosha who went to the cemetery not
for the satisfaction of idle curiosity,
but on account of the fact that the
death Of Mr.. Quarles had been a real
sorrow to them. In the number about
the grave were many people for whom
the deceased had done favors during the
past years and they found this the only
way in which to acknowledge their debt
Of gratitude and love. The ceremonies
at the grave were short and in keeping
with the wishes Of the deceased of
most simple nature. There was a pray
er and a few words from the Rev Mr.
Cutler one of Mr.. Quarles dearest
friends and with no other ceremony
the remains were lowered into the
grave.

half past twelve O'Clock and large
company Of the friends of the de-
ceased gathered to pay last tri-
butte Of respect The Rev. Judson
Ellsworth, pastor Of Plymouth Con-
gregational church in Milwaukee,

spoke of the great services that the
deceased had given to the world as an
attorney and as a citizen and paid high
est tribute to his lovable character and
his graces as a man and friend AT

mains were taken to the Northwestern
