The Funeral of Mrs. Rutter.
The solemn funeral services at the residence of Mr. N. Rutter on River street, yesterday afternoon, were attended by numbers of sincere mourners. Rev. F. B. Hodge officiated at the house and at the grave in Hollenback Cemetery. River street was lined with carriages and there were scores of silent spectators at and near the house, who sadly watched the funeral cortege. The pall bearers were: Gen E. W. Sturdevant, Col. H. B. Wright, Judge N. Taylor and Hon Calvin Parsons. The coffin was borne to the hearse by Messrs. C. P. Hunt, Robert C. Shoemaker, G. Murray Reynolds, Alex. Farnham, C. E. Butler and C. M. Conyngham.
No stately monument will be needed to enumerate the virtues of this Christian woman. Hosts of living men and women can testify as to her unbounding charity, her kindly heart, her unfailing care and thoughtfulness, and in their hearts the memory of Mrs. Rutter will remain fresh and green for many a long day to come. 'The poor ye shall always have with you,' and the poor will truly and fervently mourn the loss of such a benefactress as they may hardly hope to know again. After a long life spent in the service of the unfortunate, the sick and the needy, this noble woman has gone to receive the reward her good deeds have fairly earned.
