FUNERAL OF THE LATE MR. ERASTUS REED
The funeral obsequies of the late Mr. Erastus Reed were celebrated this morning at St. Mark's cathedral, where a large congregation of both sexes were assembled, among whom we recognized many prominent citizens.
On arrival of the body, enclosed in a handsome metalic coffin, it was received with full Masonic honors, by the Knight Templars, in full dress, passing through a guard with drawn swords, was laid upon bearers in the chansel.
After the choir had chanted the opening psalm of the funeral service Dean Richardson, read St. Paul's exposition of the resurrection. The choir then sang "Thy Will be Done," and the service was finished by the Dean. As the "Dead March" was being played the coffin was carried out, preceeded by the Knight Templars and was deposited in the hearse with the same honors as it was received.
The Knight Templars and a large number of carriages accompanied the remains to the grave where the body was interred with the usual Masonic honors.
