“Edw’d Jones’ funeral at Grace Ch. 10 A. M. was numerously attended. The Bishop officiated, with the Rector of Grace Church and two others. Music was bad, all but the final voluntary, the noble Funeral March from one of Beethoven’s piano concertos, which I have often wished to hear rendered on the organ.”
