Book excerpt: Excerpt from Addresses Delivered at the Funeral of Lyman Hotchkiss Atwater This Memorial of Dr. Lyman H. Atwater has been published in accordance with the wishes of his family and friends, and by request of the Trustees of Princeton College. Only a few prefatory words are needed. After an active service to the College of more than twenty-eight years, Dr. Atwater was laid aside by sickness in October last. A few months of struggle with mortal disease, in which hopes and fears fluctuated, followed. He died on Saturday morning, February 17, 1883. On Tuesday afternoon, February 20th, he was buried with impressive services. Prayer was offered at his late residence by the venerable Ex-President of the College, John Maclean, D.D., LL.D. The remains were then borne to the First Presbyterian Church, accompanied by the students of the College and the Theological Seminary. There a very large congregation assembled, filling the church to its utmost capacity, in which the Trustees of the College, the Trustees and Directors of the Theological Seminary, and the Presbytery of New Brunswick were largely represented. Hundreds of Dr. Atwater's old pupils and friends were also there to join in the last tributes of respect and affection. It was significant of the esteem in which Dr. Atwater was held by his townsmen, that many of the places of business were closed during the funeral services.
