Sad Scene At A Memphis Cemetery

The sorrows of the epidemie were uever pictured in more disti-essing scones than w(;rc witnessBcl at Elmwood Oemotcry. Six friends of the luto Ed Worsham had followed liis remains to the " city of the dead," for the jmrpose of paying the last sad tribute to their aearly-beloved companion. On arriviiig it tlie cemetery they found the llev. Dr. White, of Calvary Church, who, with his agod wife and fiiithful colored servant," were the only mourners at tlie funeral of the minister' son, Eugene D. White, who had died the day previims. On leanüng tliat the remanís of "poor Ned" were abont to Imj eonsigned to the grave, Dr. White, who is nlso a Masón, asked tlie privilege of reading his buria] service. Tlie request was rc;ilily granted, and the reverend minister, in words most feelingly rendercd, unid tears and sobs that almost ehoked their ntterance, eulogized the ehanwter of the deceased. As the sod was falling upon the coffin of the deceased, Dr. White was approaohed by a gentleman wcll known in this community, who iisked him to read the service over his ilead vife. He was the only niourncr, iind WS licart-broken over his loss. The kind old man willingly eonsented, bilt Hrst asked that, lie niight consign to the grave his son. The mourners of Ed Worsham netcd as pall-bearers to ! Eugena D. White, and, with uncovered heads, listened witJi aehing h(;arts tothe father as lic read the service over his ilead son. This painful scène had hardly imded when Mr. Ed Beasley approached iind Silid he would tftke it is an especial favor if Dr. AVhite would read the funeral service over the late AVilliam Willis, whom a few friends liad jiist briight to consign to their last resting[iLice. Thus it wils that the good oíd man, whoso vcMuuablo appearance is in keeping with his age, performed tlie du tics of his calling, within the short period of halfan hour, to four departed souls that are now at rest. - Mettijïhis Avakmclic.
