FUNERAL OF MRS. THOMAS
At the hour appointed yesterday for the funeral of Mrs. Thomas, the house was thronged with sympathizing friends. The remains rested in a beautiful casket which was fairly buried under floral offerings. The face of the dead was calm and natural as though asleep.
Rev. Mr. Putnam, assisted by Rev. Mr. Armstrong, rendered the service of the Episcopal church for the dead, and Mrs. Dr. Hamilton sang, touchingly, a verse of a hymn. The pallbearers were Governor West, General (Commissioner) McClernaud, Judges Zane and Boreman, of the Federal Bench, Secretary of the Territory Hall, and Judge Goodwin.
A long line of carriages followed the hearse to Mount Olivet; there Rev. Armstrong read the prayers for the dead and all that was mortal of a brave and true woman was taken back and hushed in final sleep on the breast of the merciful earth.
