At the funeral of the late Alpheus Hyatt on Saturday, a private service for the family was held at the house, conducted by Rev. B. R. Bulkeley of Beverly, a cousin of Mrs. Hyatt. The service at Appleton Chapel at 2 o'clock was conducted by the Rev. Mr. Bulkeley and Professor Francis G. Peabody. The College choir sang the hymn: "God of the living in whose eyes, Unveiled thy whole creation lies." Mr. Bulkeley read services from the Scriptures, concluding with some appropriate verses.
