The funeral of the late Edmund F. French, who was for more than half a century a resident of Capitol Hill and for a long series of years a clerk in the Treasury Department, took place this afternoon from his late residence, No. 23 B street southeast. The services were conducted by Rev. Dr. Clarke of St. James' P.E. Church and were attended by a large number of friends of the deceased, including many who attended the East Washington public schools in the years when he served as a trustee, and there were many floral tributes sent in. The interment was at the Congressional cemetery.

The deceased was a native of New England and was a brother of the late Col. Benj. B. French. He had reached the age of eighty-two years. He was the father of Dr. French of East Capitol street, and leaves another son and a daughter. Up to three years ago he enjoyed robust health, but at that time he suffered an attack of paralysis, which left him very weak. Subsequently he had two other attacks, the last one terminating fatally Monday last.
