The funeral of Benjamin Gardner; of Factoryville, took place yesterday at 11:30 o'clock at the home of his elder son, Wesley M. Gardner, 424 Clay avenue. There was a large attendance.

Rev. W. B. Beach, D. read the serv: ice, concluding extracts from poems, Including Whittier's "The nal Tennyson's "Crossing the 'and' others.

Then a group of the G. A. R. ladies, members of the Samuel Rice circle, filed past the coffin, and standing at one side, the ritual of their order was repeated by Mrs. Richard Holgate, and a small silken flag was draped over the silent heart of the dead.

It was a most touching scene and was followed by another equally appealing as more than a score of men, bent and aging, but wearing the G. A. R. uniform, laying upon their comrade the crown of smilax and white roses symbolizing the end of his battle and his last march. Richard Holgate, the chaplain, made brief remarks referring to Mr.

Gardner's character and the profound respect in which he was held in Factoryville, where his father and grandfather before him, had lived and died. His interest in the post and his staunch support since its organizatiop were recited. The pallbearers were: Colonel F. Hitchcock, D. J.

Newman, George Conklin and a James C. Degraw, of the 132nd regiment, Pennsylvania Volunteers; R. A. Lindley and Solomon Reynolds, of the Factoryville post. Burial was made in beautiful Glen Dyberry, at Honesdale, by the side of the wife, whose death seven years ago was so serious a blow that Mr.

Gardner never recovered from the effects, either in health or spirits. A brother-in-law, Smith Ingham, of Huntington, W. journeyed all the way from his home, at the age of eightythree to pay this last tribute to his kinsman and devoted friend. Last year the two old comrades had visited Gettysburg and had enjoyed a wonderful reunion of their regiment. A large concourse of people were at Glen Dyberry where Dr.

Beach, assisted by Dr. Whittaker, conducted the committal service. A very brief G. A. R.

service followed when comrades planted a flag at the head of the new grave, and which concluded with "Taps" from a distant hillside. The bugle call in that lovely spot affected the throng to tears. The G. A. R.

pallbearers who served went to Honesdale with the funeral company. The Honesdale pallbearers were the Hon. E. B. begh, J.

N. Walsh, A. M. Spettigue, H. Z.

Russell, Graham Watts, Dr. R. M. Brady, Among out of town relatives at the funeral were: Mrs. Henrietta Gilmore, Mr.
