The Funeral
(From Tuesdays daily.)

On a beautiful midsummer after
noon, relatives, friends and citizens
gathered at the late home of e. G.
Marriott to pay their last tribute.
Seldom has there been a larger gath
ering of the kind in this city than the
one on Monday when the former may
or and merchant was taken away to
his last resting place. The home was
crowded, the lawn was filled, and
many fingered in the street while the
songs were sung and words by the
pastor said.
Business Places Close
Ak business in Baraboo was sus-
pended at the time of the funeral
that all the tradesmen might gather
at the home to pay the last tribute
With the Knights Templar as an es-
cort, the members of the blue lodge
of the Masonic fraternity occupied the
place of honor in the funeral process
sion. Members of the Knights of
Pythias, Independent Order of Odd
Fellows, Grand Army Of the Republic,
Modern Woodmen of America and Be.
nevOlent Protective Order of Elks also
attended the funeral. County officials,
city officials and others ceased their
labors for time that they might join
with the others in paying the last
tribute.
The Service
Rev F. A. Gilmore, pastor of the
Unitarian church at Madison, conduct
ed the funeral service. He read from
the scriptures those beautiful pass
ages beginning with 1.-THE Lord is my
shepherd; l shall not want. He max
eth me to lie down in green pastures;
he leadeth me beside the still waters"
his hearers following him closely. Rev.
Gilmore said it was impossible to do
anything like justice to such a life,
life We had known for almost sixty
six years, a life into which was woven
so much of the business, social and
fraternal interest of the community.
The minister spoke of his friendliness.
of his sympathies and of the aid which
he so often gave. He spoke, too, of his
home life and the interest he mani
tested for a better community. To
young men he gave work, encourage
ment to secure an education, ideas as
to investments, and in other ways be-
friended them. He did not forget to
dwell on his friendly character and his
ripe personality. The pastor said that
If the one who had just departed were
with us today he would bid us be
strong and of good cheer. These
thoughts take away much of the sting
of death. He conso1ed those in his
presence with the thought that death
is not the end, that NO tomb is
strong enough to hold soul When
the life of a man goes out, his good
deeds cannot die; the world has
gained, for they live forever and ever.
The pastor closed his address with
words like these and with Tennyson's
beautiful lines, Crossing the Bar"
At the opening of the service, with
Miss Clara Risley at the piano, Mrs.
G. w. Snyder and Miss Olga Reinking
sang the familiar hymn, zone Sweetly,
Solemn Thought" The closing num-
Der was Lead, kindly Light"
The bearers were T. w. English, H.
L. Halsted, H. M. Acott, w. H. Ode,
Frank S. Cowles and H. Grotophorst.
At the cemetery the Masonic sery-
ice was read by j. S. Briscoe.

short address, using as his topic, Is

America, and benediction by Dean
Kloman concluded the gathering.
Fully 1,500 people attended the serv-
ices.
