In recognition of Mr. Walworth's activity and great service to the cause of public education in this city, the public schools were closed by order of the board of Education, and many of the teachers were thus allowed to attend the final obsequies.
The flags upon all the school buildings were at half mast during the funeral.
The ceremony at the church was in charge of Rev. Joseph Gamble, D.D., and the present pastor, Rev. John Bailey Kelly, the former preaching a brief eloquent sermon upon the immortality of the Christian soul.
After the sermon Mrs. E.L. Pettis sang "One sweetly Solemn Thought" by R.S. Ambrose. As an organ postlude Mrs. J.M. Studholme played the Funeral March by Leybach.

He was for many years a member of the Clinton County Bar, Board of Education and Y.M.C.A., besides which he was a member of several historical societies, and in all he ever took an active interest. As a member of the Broad of Education he frequently visited our public schools, and was foremost among our citizens in promoting their advancement. No man in Clinton county was more familiar with or took a deeper interest in the history of Northern New York than the subject of this sketch.
He was a nephew of the late Chancelor Walworth and a cousin of the late Rev. Father Clarence Walworth of Albany. In 1857 Mr. Walworth was married to the late Cornelia Lynde Bailey of this city and of the seven children born to this union three survive him, Graham Hyde, Clarence Bailey of New York, and Mary Elizabeth Joerissen of Utica.
