Funeral of Clements Brashears.
Probably few deaths have occurred that impressed our people with a deeper feeling of sadness than that of Clement Brashears. He was young and a general favorite of all who knew him. But few months ago he left his home in this city full of hope and youthful ambition. He was not yet 21 years of age and was holding a position given only to men of recognized character and tested qualifications. All the circumstances attending his death will probably never be known in the world. It is supposed that by some mishap he fell from the platform of his car as the train entered the tunnel near Carlisle, Kentucky, one arm was broken, and his breast was badly bruised. The accident occurred at five o'clock on Friday evening and he lived but three hours after. The express company took charge of his body and kept it in Cincinnati until the arrival of his father, Capt. Henry Brashears, who had it sent to this city on the Saturday evening train.
The funeral took place from The Christian church yesterday afternoon and was very largely attended. The services were conducted by Rev. W. R. Brown, of the First church and Rev. Kleeberger, of the Chirstian church. After the services, which were very impressive, the remains were taken charge of by the following pall-bearers: Thos. Verry, Bud EuDaily, Geo. Eilliott, Less Dobbs, Will Hurlbut and Geo. Simpson, and interred in Springdale cemetery.
The floral offerings were numerous and beautiful. Among some of the most noticable were the following: Miss Fannie Miller, Cynthiana, Ky., beautiful wreath; Mrs. Peter Weber, wreath; Miss Maud Branham, handsome anchor; Misses Curle, Ashbrook and McMurrey, of Cynthiana, Ky., handsome bouquet; Harry Hartwig, crescent and bouquets composed of heliotrope, Marshall Neil rose buds, scarlet geraniums and calla lillies, with the word "Suiks," the name by which he was familiarly known to his associates, in purple immortales through the center, which was very beautiful; from the clerks in the office of the road on which he had his run, at Cincinnati a very handsome anchor and pillow, with "Rest" in purple immortales across center; Miss Lizzie Neill, handsome star of flowers; Miss Maggie Harper, handsome bouquet, Mrs. J. McGregor, pillow and bouquet, Mrs. Walton, beautiful flowers; Miss Grace Ghar, bouquet; Miss Anna Liggett, beautiful flowers; besides these, there were numerous small bouquets and cut flowers.
