The funeral of Patrolman Aurelius L. Austin of division 5 will take place from his late residence, 127 Eustis st., this forenoon. A detail of officers will be present from division 5.
The news of his death created much sorrow in police circles and among his large circle of friends. The deceased was born in Townsend [sic.], Vt., in 1826, and was appointed on the police force May 7, 1866. He was detailed to division 4, and for 24 years has been a member of the Dedham st. squad with scarcely an interruption on account of sickness or other causes.
During his early days on the force the South Cove district was in division 5, and he was the terror of the people who lived there then.

For the past few years, in recognition of his long term of faithful service, he was assigned to the position of night house officer. He was a man of strictly temperate habits, and never used tobacco in any form. He was universally respected on account of his quiet and unassuming manner and genial qualities. His face and form were almost a landmark among the old residents of the South End. He leaves a widow and son.
