THE AMERICAN JEWISH WORLD
THOUSANDS AT FUNERAL OF
DIR. DEINARD
Continued from Page 81


reavement, for we shall feel that he
did not live in vain, that his labors
will not pass away with him. | need
not indicate to the bereaved family
how great their loss is, nor even how
deeply the community sympathizes
with them in their sorrow. No out
slider, no matter how intimate, can
adequately measure their bereave-
ment I would rather indicate to them
the blessed consolation that will be
theirs, when they realize how univer-
sally beloved their husband and father
was, and how in the days to come they
will thank God that it is their privi-
lege to cherish so many hallowed and
inspiring memories of their dear one.
So I pray that God give them the
strength to bear their bereavement.
Even more, I pray that He give them
the wisdom to accept what His hand
had dispensed, and that they make
His will their will. May the memory
of Samuel N. Deinard be to them a
source of consolation, even as it will
be a source Of inspiration to all who
have known him. May God take him
unto Himself. May he rest in peace!
Thousands File Past.
After the reading Of the closing
prayer by DR.. Lefkovits, the doors
were opened and some of the thou
sands who had been waiting, came in
to look for the last time upon the face
of their beloved leader. For an hour
and half they passed through the
Temple, entering through the Fifth
Avenue entrance and leaving through
the Tenth Street door. An endless
procession were they, endless in their
variety Of types as well as in their
numbers. There were Jew and non
Jew; humble toilers and men of at
fairs; the liberal, and the Orthodox,
old and young. There were old, be-
wigged, Orthodox grandmothers and
skull-capped greybeards. Some could
be seen sobbing as they passed the
bier; others looked resolutely ahead
lest they give way to their emotions.
Others wept outright.
Impressive Cortege.
Leaving the Temple, the cortege,
headed by guard of honor of dis
abled war veterans, proceeded to the
Montefiore Cemetery. AS member
Of the bench of Hennepin County who
was present, remarked, "Never in the
CHlTCy years nave UecII III CIlc CIIy
have I seen anything as impressive
as this tribute" The guard of honor
of ex-service men included Michael
Goldberg, Hyme Rosenblatt, Phil Rob
ert Cohn, Louis Malamud, Leo Kroft
and w. S. Beck.
The honorary pall-bearers were
Isaac We'll, Samuel Robitshek, Henry
H. Weiskopf, M. L. Cohen, VIM.
Greenberg, Emil Adelsheim, Charles
Moss, Samuel Tausig, Jos. H. Schan-
field, and David Simon. !. The active
pall-bearers were Jonas We'll, T.. H.
Ruben, VIM. Monasch, Robert Kolli-
ner, DR.. Geo. J. Gordon and Sam
Alexander. The committee in charge
of the arrangements were Irving H.
Robitshek, Chas. We'll and D. G. JEFF
ferry, and Jonas We'll, president of the
Temple. At the Montefore Cemetery
DR.. Lefkovits read the prayers. 1t is
estimated that in addition to those
that had accompanied the cortege at
least thousand were waiting at the
cemetery to pay their respects. Thus
did Minneapolis (and many also from
st. PauD pay their tribute to the man
