Show Qbseauies. The funeral of Mrs. Alice Y. Claw-son Claw-son took place yesterday afternoon. A large number of the relatives and immediate friends of the family ol deceased and t hosts of her husband assembled at the White House, where appropriate religious services were held under the direction of Pres D.H. Wells, who delivered a short address, t-eating upon tho solemn duty which had called so many friends together. He paid a high tribute to the woith of the deceased, and offered words of sympathy and consolation to the bereaved family and friends. Elder Wilford Woodruff followed in a few brief but appropriate remarks full of tender feeliug and sympathy. The relatives and friends then took a last look on the face of her wit h whom they had parted but a few short weeks before, full of life aud health, but whom they now saw Btill and cold in death. Tho remains were wonderfully well preserved, notwithstanding that death occurred over two weeks since, and they had been carried a distance of 300 miles. Not a mark of discoloration discolora-tion was perceptible. The face, in death as in lite, was calm and beau- tiful. This must have been a great consolation to tho aged mother and immediate relatives of deceased, from whom she was absent at tho hour of death. When all had taken their last long iarewell, the casket was borne, by near relatives as pall bearers, bear-ers, to the grave in President Young'B private burying ground, juBt east of the ''While House," and deposited in its la.it resting pi tee. Three do- i ceased children of Mrs. Clawson wiio had been previously disinterred, were buried by her side. Bishop E. D. Woolley prayed over the grave, and i that w:s mnrtul of the beloved Alio.? was consigned to its mother i -earth, ibcro to await Hie resurrection 'f the just. |
