The remains of Henry ANDERSON were interred in Hiawatha cemetery, on last Friday. The Odd-Fellows conducted the burial exercises, except that Rev. Berry preached the funeral. The church was crowded and many could not get in. The procession headed by the I. O. O. F. Lodge, of this place, was the largest funeral cortege that ever wound its way to Hiawatha cemetery. Everything connected with the exercises was done up in decent style. We have not room for a more detailed account of the day. A brother of the deceased arrived in time to attend the funeral. The coffin was a fifty dollar rosewood casket, the best in the city.
