Member of Rumness Clan
Is Buried in GIenWood
Cemetery.

known as the RumneSs clan, descend
ants OF nigh caste English Hindus, who
settled in America at the time Of the
Revolutionary War; was buried this aft
ernoon in Glenwood Cemetery, with the
rituals of the Episcopal Church.

are still large settlements of the Hin
docs in Yorkshire and Devonshire, Eng
land. Those who came to America in
early Colonial times seldom intermar-
ried with other races and while they
are American citizens and affiliated
mostly with the Episcopal Church, they
speak among themselves the Rumness
language, which has been preserved for
about 1900 years.
Tney nave been confused at times
with the wandering tribes of Gypsies,
who were the servants of the Hindoos
from which the Rumness tribe claim
their ancestry and separated from them
when they came from India to settle
in England after the Christian era.
Between the two classes there Is no
afiliation.
Mr.. Worton's maternal grandfather
Peter Hicks, was a prominent citizen
of Holyoke, Mass, and so also was his
paternal grandfather, johnson Worton
of st. Louis. They were all Masons A

/ ton of Newport News, Va; Elias and
Peter of Washington, and two sisters,
Misses Nancy and Fay Templeton Wor-
| ton.
