FUNERALS

CHURCH - The funeral of Charles L. Church, late Treasurer of the Grand Lodge
of Freemasons, took place yesterday and was attended by a large number of
persons.  There were religious services both at the late residence of
deceased, 723 Greenwich street, and at St. Clement's Episcopal church, in
Amity street.  The coffin was of highly polished rosewood, richly ornamented.  
Masonic emblems, formed of white immortelles, as also the apron and collar of
the deceased were laid on the lid.  The inscription was:  C.L. Church, Died
June 22, 1865, Aged 49 years.  The service having terminated the lid was
removed from the coffin, and the friends of the deceased were permitted to
look on the features calmed in death for the last time.  Afterwards a
procession was formed,  and the remains were escorted through Broadway to the
Hamilton avenue ferry, whence they were conveyed to Greenwood. Over four
thousand Masons, in full regalia, were in the procession.
