Funeral of Dr. Hazlett
A Large attendance and imposing ceremonies
The funeral of the late Dr. J. C. Hazlett took place at Dayton last Sunday. 
There was a large attendance of Masons and Odd Fellows, the deceased having been
a prominent member of both societies.  The funeral services were conducted under
the auspices of the Grand Lodge of F. & A.M. of which deceased was Grand Master
at the time of his death.  A special communication of the Grand Lodge was held,
the following Grand officers officiating:  D.W. Virgin, Senior Grand Warden,
Acting Grand Master; P.A. Doyle, Senior Grand Warden; Albin Lackey, Junior Grand
Warden; Henry L. Fish, Grand Treasurer; C. N. Noteware, Grand Secretary; L.L.
Crockett, Grand Chaplain; W. D. Jones, Grand Marshall; C. H. Galusha, Grand
Standard Bearer; W.W. Stephens, Grand Sword Bearer; J.L. Campbell, Grand Bible
Bearer; E.D. Kelley, Senior Grand Deacon; B. H. Reymers, Junior Grand Deacon;
Joseph Sparks and C.H. Colburn, Grand Stewards; J.H. Hepworth, Grand Organist;
Matthew Kyle, Grand Pursuivant; Adolph Jacobs, Grand Tyler.
The Grand Lodge escorted by De Witt Clinton Commandary Knights Templar of
Virginia City in full uniform, Dayton Lodge I.O.O.F. in regalia, and Rebekah
Lodge of Dayton marched in procession to the Court House, where the body of the
dead Grand Master lay in state.  The floral tributes were numerous, the deceased
being a general favorite in the town in which he had lived for over thirty
years.  The religious services were conducted by the Presbyterian minister from
Virginia City, after which the Masonic rites were performed.  The pall bearers
were W. J. Warren, Emanuel King, Walter J. Harris, Wm. McMillan, M.A. Murphy and
W.J. Westerfield, two of who wore the Templar uniform.
The procession, headed by the commandery, formed in front of the Court House,
the entire population of Dayton turning out, the school forming a special
feature.  At the grave the solemn ritual of the Masonic Fraternity was read by
the Grand Master and the mortal remains of D. J.C. Hazlett were consigned to the
tomb, the children covering the coffin with flowers.
