Tuneral services for Miss Anna Hamlin, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Sumner Harniin, were held in Boston today, to which place the body of Miss Hamlin, who but re- cently died in Bermuda, was taken. Many paid their last tribute of love and respect to one whose gracious presence 'will long be remembered and missed in Washington. Miss Hamlin came to Washington from Boston with her parents when Mr. Hamlin was appointed in 1914 by President Wilson as governor of the Federal Reserve Board. Since that time they identified themselves with the city in many ways and are counted among the representative group of the Capital. Mr. Hamlin has held many important positions in the public serv- ice, and Mrs. Hamlin (who was a Miss Pruyn of Albany) comes of a long line of Dutch ancestry. Miss Hamlin while resident here won, by her intellect and charm, a distinct place in the admiration and affection of all privileged to know her. .
