H. K. HILTON MEMORIAL
Services Held at Providence for Architect Who Died in Fowey, Eng—His Ashes Received.
PROVIDENCE.—Aug. 6—A memorial service for Howard King Hilton, the Providence architect, who died at Fowey, Eng, July 22, took place at the First Congregational church today. The body was cremated in England, the ashes arriving here Tuesday. The urn was not brought into the auditorium today, but it was represented by a profuse collection of floral pieces.
The attendance was large, including members of the Rhode Island chapter, American institute of architects and prominent businessmen. Adhering to the expressed wishes of Mr Hilton, there were no hymns sung, no dirge played and no eulogy, although the prayer was of a personal character.
Rev Augustus M. Lord, pastor of the church, read selections from the Scriptures, Whittier's poem, beginning, "He has done the work of a true man," and Susan Coolidge's poem, "Commissioned."
