Show FUNERAL HEARSE ' HELD IN DISTRUST LONDON, March 31. The hearse, although al-though by no means a modern Invention, has not aa yet penetrated into some of the remote country districts of England. The coffin of the late Duke of Norfolk, when it arrived from London at his country coun-try estate at Arundel, was not put in a hearse, for none was available there, but, according to custom, was placed in an ordinary farm wagon and drawn by four horses to the castle. In many parts of agricultural England the use of a hearse is regarded with distrust, dis-trust, the farmers' theory being that "the Lord's harvest when gathered should be carried in the same way as man's harvest." |
