in the neighborhood Of half thou
sand people passed through the build
ing to take a last look at the features
of the man who in the short period
of eight months they had learned to
love and revere so highly. The serv-
ices were in charge Of Rev. Thomas
Osborn, pastor of the Methodist
Episcopal church. Of which the de-
ceased was member. The scripture
selection was read by. Rev Herbert
Hines. pastor of the Congregational
church, while the prayer was offered
by Rev. Frank Weston, pastor Of the

afternoon where interment will be
made today.
