                  held in Masonic Temple yesterday
                  morning.

                  and escorted the remains to the hall
                  where the relatives and friends of
                  deceased listened to a very spiritual
                  address by Mr. Thompson, christian
                  scientist, excellent music being fur-

                  ing for the grandson, BENJAMIN, when
                  he was chosen.

                  twenty years he has been an indus-
                  trious and much respected citizen,
                  held in friendly esteem by all who
                  knew him.
