Funeral at Oak Hill Cemetery admired for restraint
The Washington funeral for a noted scholar drew eminent attendees and a simple, adorned ceremony. A sculpted cast of the face was made, and the service at New York Avenue Presbyterian Church followed by interment at Oak Hill Cemetery. The ceremony contrasted with state power politics as debates over Florida and Louisiana elections continued in Congress.

A collection of miscellaneous extracts and remarks includes Flavius Jo Sephus Cook's first literary effort on cows and biology, a humorous hotel bill anecdote from Chicago, and a religious exhortation urging Scotland toward renewed faith. The Cow essay comments on bovine anatomy and digestion with apparent immaturity, while the hotel tale contrasts European prices and clerks. The closing devotional passage urges perseverance in faith and prayer for days of abundance.
