Death Comes to Prof. Swing, Chicago's Eloquent Divine. Chicago, Oct. 5. —Prof. David Swing, the eminent theologian and preacher, passed away Wednesday afternoon at 5:05 o’clock. His death was painless, and those who stood at his bedside watching and waiting hardly knew whether it was sleep or death until the physician looked up with the story in his face. Chicago, Oct. 9. —Funeral services over the remains of Prof. David Swing were held at Central Music hall Sunday afternoon. The half, which for so many years was the scene of the celebrated divine’s labors, was crowded with friends of the dead man and members of his church. Admission was by card and many hundreds were turned away. Rev. 11. W. Thomas and Rev. T. C. Hall conducted the introductory services. Dr. John H. Barrows, pastor of the First Presbyterian church, preached the funeral sermon, which was a pronounced eulogy on the dead man’s life and work. The interment was at Rose Hill.
