      BURIAL TO BE AT PULASKI.

      Funeral of Mrs. Caroline Clarke Ingersoll to Be Held To-day.

      The funeral of Mrs. Caroline (Clarke) Ingersoll, widow of Robert Leroy Ingersoll, whose death occurred Saturday, will be held privately at 8 o'clock this morning, at the apartments of her daughter, Mrs. Nellis M. Rich, in the Kasson, in James street.

      Reverend A. A. Jaynes of St. Paul's Episcopal Church will officiate. The bearers will be W. D. Dunning, C. J. Barnard, D. N. Green, and Theodore E. Hancock. The body will be taken to Pulaski for interment. The bearers there will be Albert F. Betts, N. B. Smith, Henry B. Klock, and Lovell Hutchens.

      Mrs. Ingersoll was born in Jefferson county, and came to Syracuse from Brooklyn seven years ago, to live with her daughter. She has been an invalid, but while her health permitted, she was active in social, church, and philanthropic affairs.

      She was a member of the Episcopal Church, and of Onondaga Chapter, D. A. R. She was within eleven days of being 89 years old. Surviving her, besides Mrs. Rich, are Miss Ingersoll, a daughter, and two sons: F. D. Ingersoll of Chicago, and George D. Ingersoll of Pulaski.
