EASTMAN IS BURIED WITH SIMPLE RITES Nation-Wide Homage Paid, However, to Late Camera Magnate. By the Associated Press. ROCHESTER, N. Y, March 18— Thousands of the city's population yes- ferday pald final honors to Eastman, famous manufacturer, in- ventor and philanthropist, whose fu- neral took place from his little Episcopal Church. A niece, Mrs. George Dryden of Chi- , Was the nearest relative among | the throngs that silently followed the plain mahogany casket as it was moved | from the great stone mansion where Eastman chose to die Monday to St Paul's Church, diagonally across the street. Eastman never married. After the church service, in which | music had the same important part it had in all his life, the procession moved through crowded streets to Mount Hope Chapel, where the body was cremated, in accordance with Eastman’s wish expressed long ago. | A few days hence Eastman’s friends | will carry his ashes to his mth'e‘ Oneida County Village of Waterville, there to lie beside the bodies of his| mother and father. | Private Organist Plays. Tolling of the City Hall bell, once | for each of the 77 years Eastman lived, accompanied the church service. At/ the organ was Harold Gleason, who for | 12 years played the pipe organ in the | Eastman home while the philanthropist had breakfast. The Kilbourn String Quartet, favorite in the Eastman music room, played for him the last time. Outside 10,000 persons heard the music, as it reached them through am- ay Hollywood motion ple- ture making was suspended as & tribute to the man who contributed so largely toward its development. Schools and colleges Eastman endowed with five- sixths of his $120,000,000 fortune dis- missed their classes. Dental clinics he founded in many cities of the world closed their doors for the day. Services Without Eulogy. There was no eulogy. Right Rev. George Edward Norton, S. T. D., East- man's spiritual adviser, said the omis- | sion of praise was especially fitting, in | view of the philanthropist's well known aversion to show and pomp. ‘The Psalms were read by Rev.

Dr. Rush | Rhees, president of the University of Rochester, read the lesson from St.| Paul's Epistle to the Romans, the eighth | chapter, beginning with the fourteenth | verse. | Right Rev.
