The grave of Charles C. Terriere, a grandson of A. Correll, who died at Englewood, and was brought here for burial on Friday last, was the attraction for many who visited Silver Brook Cemetery on Sunday. The little mound was literally laden with floral tributes, the beauty of which exceeded, perhaps, anything ever seen in Niles before. At the head was a pillow of roses, carnations and smilax, bearing the name, "Charlie,"  wrought in the immortelles. Below this rested a lovely heart of tube roses, violets, and geranium leaves, and next a basket of roses, heliotrope, and other rare flowers. At the foot was a large triangle of red, white and blue flowers, each side being in distinctive color; the red composed of carnations, the white of tube roses, the blue of immortelles edged with geraneum[sic] leaves. Within the triangle, was a beautiful star of roses, carnations, and smilax bearing, in the centre, "C" in purple immortelles. The latter designs were evidently emblematical of some order to which the deceased belonged. The effect of the whole was touchingly beautiful, and to appreciative hearts, told the tender story of yearning affections, that brightens even the portals of the grave.
