Norwich bulletin., 1912-02-21

One of the largest funerals ever held
in Norwich, barring possibly that of
Governor Buckingham, was that on
Tuesday of DR.. Patrick H. Hartman,
which brought out thousands of people
to the home and church to pay their
respects to the deceased. At SIS
o'clock the funeral was held from his
late home. No, 314 Main street, and all
walks in life We're represented by those
who gathered at St Patrick's church
at O'clock for the solemn high mass
of requiem
There were many at the home, where
the members of the Norwich Medical
society called to view the body before
1t was taken to the church, having met
at the home of DR.. Shahan. The other
organizations of which Dr. Hartman
was member assembled at his late
home soon after 8 and marching in
double file escorted the body to the
church. The rain had little or not eff
feet upon the attendance and $50 men
marched in line. Every hack and cab
obtainable within the confines OF the
town, including some from Occum and
Baltic, were used, and but for the de-
cision of several delegations to march
1t would have been necessary to secure
hacks from other cities
Chopin's funeral march was played
by Organist +. l.. Farrell as the body
was taken into the church. The solemn
high mass was celebrated by Rev.
Hugh Treanor Rev. II. Dennis Sullivan
of South Boston being deacon, Rev. w.
A. Keefe of Plainfield sub deacon and
Rev. J. H. FItZmaurice of this city
master of ceremonies. There We're
