The earthly remains of Charles E. Rosengarten, whose death occurred on Sunday evening, were clothed in black dress suit and committed to a handsome burial case, satin-lined and silver mounted, and covered with black, this morning preparatory to the funeral which took place at 2 o'clock this afternoon with subsequent interment at Charles Baber cemetery. There were many applications to view the corpse and to a REPUBLICAN reporter it appeared that his old friend was enjoying a peaceful nap, rather than being in the stern embrace of death and in the very evening of the eternal sleep which knows no waking. The flushed and healthful looking cheeks, which had been but slightly paled by the transition, and the genial smile so common in life appeared to be there and one almost imagined he was about to extend his usual cordial greeting. Surrounding the casket were a profusion of floral offerings from friends and companions, expressive of the love and esteem borne the deceased. At the head was a pillow inscribed "Rest," in the hands a bouquet, upon the lower limbs a cross and at the feet a broken column, all tastefully wrought, while the side offerings embraced a model of a boat on a floral surface, inscribed "Echo," the name of the boat club to which he belonged, a handsome crescent and star from the Humane Fire Company, of which he was also a member, a crescent and star from Lew Evans, of Philadelphia, and a floral harp from Wm. S. Graham. The flowers used in all these decorations were of the choicest variety usual upon such occasions.

The funeral ceremonies were performed by Rev. Dr. Belville, of the First Presbyterian church, and Rev. E.G. Hay, of the English Lutheran church. The bearers were R.J. Mills, Jacob S. Ulmer, Robert Green, Harry Mortimer, J.J. Garvin and Chas. E. Breckons. After a very large number of people had viewed the remains the lid was fastened down and the manly countenance and form of one of Pottsville's most respected sons was shut out from view forever, the silver plate bearing the inscription "Charles E. Rosengarten, Dec. 23, 1855. April 11, 1886."

The attendance upon the funeral was very large and the remains were followed to their final resting place in Charles Baber cemetery by a long cortege in carriages and on foot. Few young men have passed away in this community so universally beloved and regretted as the one of whom we write today, and his grave will be kept green in memory for long years to come.

There were many relatives and friends from abroad who came to offer the last tribute of respect to the earthly remains of their old friend.
