His funeral was attended on the 13th, at the Methodist Episcopal Church in this village, where a discourse was delivered by Rev. S. Miles. His remains were followed to the grave by the members of the Masonic Fraternity, of which he was a brother, wearing the insignia of the order, and interred with the ceremonies and honors of that Association.
