CHAMBERS, held at the Chappel Corners school house on Tuesday was probably the most largely attended of any which ever took place in Victory. Having filled this circuit several years in the past, and preached funeral sermons far and near, he was widely known and wherever known was loved and respected, for his good sound sense, his sterling honesty, and his unquestioned piety. The large concourse of people which assembled to pay their last respects to the departed, was but a small part of those who heard with genuine sorrow, that their friend and pastor was no more, and had not distance and bad roads prevented, doubtless the assembly, which now was double what the building could con- tain, would have been greatly increased. The funeral services were directed by Rev. A. J. RUSSELL, of Big Rapids, presiding elder of this district, the funeral sermon being preached by Rev. W. MOONEY, of Ludington, Rev. S. N. HILL, Rev. W. N. YOUNG- LOVE and Rev. A. POTTER were also present and assisted in the services. The singing was led by a quartette directed by Dr. McCONNELL, of Ludington. The necessary arangements for the funeral were taken charge of by WM. FREEMAN, a close friend of the departed. The whole of the mourning family was present with the exception of a son living near Fort Scott, Kansas, two sons having arrived Sunday, one from Pentwater and one from Hillsdale. The relatives of the deceased return their heart felt thanks for the assistance so freely extended to them, both at the bedside of their sick one and in their hour of bereavement. ===========================================================================
