| Funeral of Isaac P. Connig
The funeral of Isaac P. Connig was held this afternoon at 2 o'clock from his late home at 88 Charles street in the presence of an unusually large number of friends, neighbors, and comrades from E. V. Sumner Post 14, G. A. R., with large representations of the various auxiliary organizations connected with the post. Rev. Robert F. Leavens, pastor of the First Parish (Unitarian) church, was the officiating clergyman and there was an especially large number of beautiful floral tributes, giving evidence of a wide acquaintance and the universal regret attending the death of a highly esteemed resident. There was singing by a male quartet comprising Dr. E. H. Page, C. W. Pollard, C. H. Wood and E. C. Meekham, the selections rendered being "Art thou weary," AAbide with me" and "Lead kindly light." A large majority of the members of E. V. Sumner post attended the services in a body, under Commander Henry M. Saunders, conducting the G. A. R. service at the close of the regular service and escorting the body from the house to its final resting place. The honorary bearers were Comrades Sidney Sibley, Ira G. Wilkins, Albert H. Graves, and Moses H. Hoyt, all of Post 19. The active bearers were nathan C. Upham, Frank C. Hoyt, Herbert J. Bruce, Alvah M. Levy, W. G. Wheeler, and Hiram Pope, all members of Clark S. Simonds camp, Sons of Veterans. Interment was at Forest Hill cemetery. |
