The smaII church of St. Edmund's could not accommodate the greater part of the mourners many of whom had come from all parts of the Dale and Richmondshire. The remains were conveyed from the farm on a horse-drawn farm wagon, and the bearers Messrs J. Fawcett S. Fawcett, J. Dixon, A. Metcalfe, J. R. Langstaff, and R. Constantine, were nephews of the deceased. Members of the Lennox Lodge of Freemasons and the Royal Arch Chapter; Richmond and the Thorn-borough Lodge Leyburn of which deceased was a member, lined up on each side of the entrance to the Churchyard as the cortege arrived and they headed the procession to the graveside. Rev. W. Steel, vicar, officiated at the service in the church and at the gravesite. The Masonic brethren, led by the Rev. B. W. Crawford, vicar of Crakehall and Chaplan to the Beresford Pierse Lodge of Freemasons, Bedale. paid tribute with their brief service and each member filed past the grave into which were dropped sprigs of mimosa.
