| Funeral of Frank Scott.
There was a large attendance at the funeral of Frank Scott, late of Ashby, at Undertaker Sawyer's parlor at 2:30 p.m. today. Rev. George S. Shaw of Ashby, like Mr. Scott, a soldier in the Civil War, officiated. A pillow inscirbed "Father," from the children, an ivy wreath and choice flowers, from friends, were presented. Mr. Shaw read Scripture passages and the hymn beginning "God moves in a mysterious way," and administered consolation with the thought of God's justice, love and compassion. He referred to Mr. Scott's patriotic services in the Civil War and quoted Christ's words in the Sermon on the Mount, "Judge not that ye be not judged." The service closed with prayer. The pall bearers were Stephen W. Davis, Seth E. Brigham, Myron N. Benjamin and Albert B. Caswell. The interment was at Laurel Hill. |
