The funeral services were held at the Presbyterian Church last Sunday at 11 a.m. The Methodist, Christian and Baptist churches dispensed with mourning services, and all who could gain admission attended the solemn rights paid to the dead. In the pulpit, on either side of Pastor Glendenning, Revs. Collins and Waller occupied the seats before them lay the casket wreathed in flowers, and beyond a vast audience in every individual soul of which there must have been rising during the services emotions and sentiments pure and more sublime than they are nurtured in our daily walks of life.

The service is opened with the usual invocation, followed by a hymn in reading of the scripture. Then the choir consisting of Mrs. S. Jay Crumbine, Mr. and Mrs. E.T. Thome and Mr. J.M. King, with Miss Drake at the organ, rendered the anthem "She's Gone to Rest," which was followed with prayer by Rev. Colllins. Mrs. Crumbine saying the departed ones favorite song "One Sweetly Solemn Thought," and hardly had the echoes of the singer's closing words subsided when Rev. J.S. Glendemning arose and proceeded to deliver one of the greatest sermons of this class ever heard from a pulpit in this city. After the sermon Rev. Waller read the hymn, "Asleep in Jesus," which was sung, and the services closed with an invitation to review the remains. A large number of friends followed the procession to Maple Grove Cemetery.
