numbers visited the house to take a last look of one they loved. His
funeral was under the direction of Hon. Messrs. Davis and Nye, of the
senate, and Glossbrenner and Benton, of the House of Representatives.
The assembly was very large, and the mayor and city council attended in
a body; also, numerous members of the bar. During the passage of the
funeral cortege to the cemetery, the city bells were tolled, and the flags
were at half-mast. The services at the grave were performed in an im-
pressive manner by Revs. Messrs. Hinckley, of the Swedenborgian, and
Spottswood of the Presbyterian Churches. Mr. Riddle left a widow, but
no children, to mourn his departure.
Mr. Riddle's social qualities were esteemed by all who knew him, and
made him a very popular man. No man was ever more devoted to his
state, and few die at his age leaving behind them, in their community, so
many who sincerely feel their loss.
