On the day of the funeral of the late Baron du Potet, his mortal remains were first carried to the Church of Saint-Germain-des-Pres, where a religious service was read. A monumental catafalque bad been draped in front of the high altar, to receive the coffin, on which were laid his marks of honour. The principal of these were the large medal which had been awarded him by the Societe de Magnetisme of Paris, the scarf of the President of the Jury Magnetique, and the distinctive insignia of the different societies of which he was honorary president. The catafalque was ornamented by numerous beautiful wreaths, and by the armorial bearings of the Baron; the whole was surmounted with his coronet, and the simple motto “Receive and Conserve.” | |||
Beneath the torrid heat of the direct rays of the sun, the mournful procession left the Church for the Cemetery of Montmartre; the chief pall-bearers were Mons. Martin, of Blois, and Mons. S. Morin, of Bourges. Among those present were M. Logerotte (deputy); Doctors Poirson, Detrieux and Piron; Mons. Bauche, and Mons. Gomy, secretaries to the ancient Societe de Magnetisme; Madlle. Huet and Mdlle. Veronique; Mesdames Turquand, Piron, Seurin, Levade, and Capitey; Messrs. Leymarie, Bue, Bes, Leman, Hallimbourg, Motteau, Rouxel, Hugo d’Alesi, Ch. de Rappart (the colleague of Herr Christian Reimers in the establishment of the Parisian journal ''Licht, mehr Licht,) ''Rosen, Lamperiere, and Passard; also several members of the Societe Magnetotherapique of Paris, with their badges of office. | |||
