oRs AT UNION CHAPEL BURY

ING GROUND IN CRABBOTToM
All that is mortal of Mr.. F. G.
Mauzy now reposes in the beauti-
| full hillside cemetery at Union
Chapelin the Bluegrass valley where
he was born and reared to young
manhood.
The remains were brought to the
serrowing home at New Hampden,
Saturday afternoon, accompanied
by delegations from West Virginia
fraternal organizations of which he
was a member, and by a few special
friends and relatives.
The hour for the funeral services
was IL o'clock, and long before the
time had arrived, the home and
little village were thronged with
people, while hundreds had gather
ed at Central M. E. Church South,
where the funeral services were to
be held.
Highland Lodge, No. no, A. F.&
A. NJ, of which he was member,
convened at the Presbyterian
church, New Hampden, many visit
ing brethren from West Va, as
we'll as other counties in Virginia,
being present, and, at IL o'clock,
the procession moved to Central
Church, the following brothers act
ing as pall-bearers: George Sharp,
R. B. Viehderfer, G. R. Goodsell,
A. H. Harris, w. F. Jones, j. Cliff.
Matheny, j. Ed Arbogast, and A.
L. Jones.
Rev. T. Cooper, pastor of the
Crabbottom circuit, conducted the
service, being assisted by Rev. c.
L. Potter, of Monterey, and Rev.
H. @. Burr, of Durbin. The form
err, in brief talk, referred in COM
plimentary terms to the deceased,
his high moral character, his devo-
ton to parents and sisters, and i'm
pressed upon the large audience the
character of the warning which the
sad circumstances afforded.
The music was most appropriate
and well rendered. The floral tri-
butte was profuse and beautiful, the
casket being literally buried be-
meath the offering.
The service was then turned over
to the Masonic brethren, to be con-
cluded at the grave. Union Chapel,
the family burying-place is situat-
ed several miles further up the val
ley, and here were found several
hundred people awaiting the arrival
of the body.
The open grave was surrounded
by members of his home lodge and
many visiting brethren from other
sections, and, as if in sympathy
with the sad occasion, a threaten
ing storm was not only withheld
until the impressive burial cere-
mony could be used, but at its
close, the angry storm-clouds sepa'
rated and gave place to a gentle
summer shower, suggestive OF Gods
goodness and mercy.
