FUN ERALS.
William B. Tooker.

| William B. Tooker of Uncasville vet eran soldier, estimable citizen, kindly ! neighbor and a man whose generous heart was all too big for his enfeebled frame, was laid to his final rest Tues day afternoon by his sorrowing rela- tives and a large assembly of friends. That the remains should be lowered into the grave by his comrades of Sedgwick post. No. 1, of Norwich, was 1 fitting, for the memory of the vet eran was always dealing with scenes of the past in which he and his conn | rades played part.
 The services were held Tuesday af-
 ternoon at his late home in Uncas- | vile at 2 o'clock and were conducted | by Rev. S. F. Maine, pastor of the Uncasville M. E. church. Few funer-
 als in the town have been more large | ly attended, such being the general esteem in which the deceased was held | by young and old alike. Floral trib- utes were many and beautiful, espe- i cially prominent being the tokens sent | by the various societies of which MT. l Tooker was a member.
 The body was laid to rest in the pleasant plot in Comstock cemetery, | where during many years MT. Tooker has directed the annual Memorial day | ceremonies held in honor of comrades
 who preceded him in the last great
 fight
