FUNERAL OF THE LATE
C.P. KINGSLEY

TRIBUTES OF RESPECT

A Large and Sorrowful Attendance

The funeral of Mr. Kingsley on Sunday last, was more largely attended that any in Dubuque this year. At nine o’clock in the morning, the Masonic Lodge, of which he was a member, assembled to make the final arrangements for the obsequies. The remains had been received from Colorado the evening before, accompanied by the bereaved family and Dr. E. A. Guilbert, who had hastened hundreds of miles to the relief of the friend whom he hoped to find alive.

At ten o’clock the Knights Templar escorted the members of the other Dubuque lodges to the house of the mourning, forming a long procession, and thence to the Main Street Methodist Church, where an eloquent, pathetic and appropriate funeral discourse were delivered by Rev. A. B. Kendig. It is seldom that an audience of a thousand is so moved by the words of the speaker on any occasion. Besides a full attendance of the Methodist congregation and a large assemblage of the Masonic Fraternity, the citizens generally crowded the spacious Church, even filling the galleries, to sow their respect for the memory of one of the most active business men in the city.

The assembly at Linwood was scarcely less than that at the church. The Masonic Fraternal service, conducted by Mr. Quackenbush, chief officer of the Metropolitan Lodge, and the touching benediction by Rev. A. B. Kendig, were equally impressive.
