Pine Plains, Jan. 11 - (Special). - While friends paid last loving tribute to Jacob S. Bowman, of Pine Plains the business houses of the city closed as a mark of respect to one of the most prominent figures in the commercial and social life of the village.

At the residence the prayer service was read by Rev. S. A. Welkhart, of Paterson, N. J., formerly rector of Christ Church, this city.  The impressive service was beautified by favorite hymns of Mr. Bowman's, which included "Jesus, Lover of My Soul," and "Asleep in Jesus."
