was hoped that he might regain
consciousness, if only for a mo-
ment, to recognize their presence,
but if he did no signs could be OBJ
served.
The funeral was held Monday
afternoon and the attendance was
probably tine largest ever present
at a funeral in Scotland. Fully
one thousand people gathered at
the home at 2 p. m. and took a last
look at the face SO familiar, as it
lay in the beautiful casket which
was covered with flowers. Brief
services were held at the home.

TREK, the singing of a hymn, and
a brief address by Prof. Krieger
delivered in English to the crowd
assembled on the front lawn. The

IN the family lot, after which ser
vices were conducted by Rev. II.

business houses in town were clos
