(By a Stan Correspondent)

The funeral of Mrs. Emily Rachael | (Bronson) Seaton, wife of Paige A. Seaton of 1040 Cooke street, Water vile, took place yesterday afternoon at Winchester Center. Mrs. Seaton's death occurred at the Waterbury hospital Friday morning following a brief illness. Late Saturday afternoon the body was removed to the home of her parents, MT. and Mrs. Elliott Bronson of Winchester. At noon yes- terday, brief private service was conducted at the home by the pastor of the Winchester Congregational church. The remains were then borne a few hundred yards to the old church on the Green, there to lie in state amid a profusion of floral tributes, which were banked across the center width of the church, where she had been baptized, attend ed Sunday school and had been mar ried to Paige Seaton, in 1919.
 Long before o'clock, the hour for the services, the three hundred seats of the church, augmented by nearly half as many additional chairs which filled the aisles and every available extra space, were filled and when the services started. the gathering unable to gain admis- sion to the edifice more than equalled those who were seated.
 The services, conducted by Rev. Moses Lowell, pastor of the Second were characterized by unusual simplicity and beauty. A scriptural passage, the recitation of Tennyson's Crossing the Bar,' two favorite hymns sung by a soprano soloist, a prayer of unusual beauty and the benediction. Such a service, in the simple Colonial setting of the church, was entirely in harmony with the modesty, depth of character and friendliness of Emily Seaton.
 At the close of the services, Mrs. Seaton was accorded unique honor. She was born to her grave by six commanders of the state department of the American Legion. Edward Newmarket of Rockville, the present state commander and the following past state commanders: Clarence $. Scarborough of West Hartford, W. Cramer of Wethersfeld, Harry c. Jackson of New Britain and Eugene F. Armstrong of this city, present state treasurer.
 Included in the crowds attending the funeral were hundreds of Legion naires including high ranking officers and members of the auxiliary from all over Connecticut. This was marked tribute to MT. Seaton, who has always been active in Legion affairs since its organization and who was state commander in 1928-1929 and to Mrs. Seaton, who during the past two years has been actively con- nected with the state organization auxiliary. Members of Torrington post, No. 49, and it's auxiliary of which both MT. and Mrs. Seaton were members, attended in large numbers.
