John Munro

Siemens
was
buried
on
Monday,
November
26,
in
Kensal
Green
Cemetery.
The
interment
was
preceded
by
a
funeral
service
held
in
Westminster
Abbey,
and
attended
by
representatives
of
the
numerous
learned
societies
of
which
he
had
been
a
conspicuous
member,
by
many
leading
men
in
all
branches
of
science,
and
also
by
a
large
body
of
other
friends
and
admirers,
who
thus
united
in
doing
honour
to
his
memory,
and
showing
their
sense
of
the
loss
which
all
classes
had
sustained
by
his
death.
Siemens
was
above
all
things
a
'labourer.'
Unhasting,
unresting
labour
was
the
rule
of
his
life;
and
the
only
relaxation,
not
to
say
recreation,
which
he
seems
to
have
allowed
himself
was
a
change
of
task
or
the
calls
of
sleep.
This
natural
activity
was
partly
due
to
the
spur
of
his
genius,
and
partly
to
his
energetic
spirit.
For
a
man
of
his
temperament
science
is
always
holding
out
new
problems
to
solve
and
fresh
promises
of
triumph.
All
he
did
only
revealed
more
work
to
be
done;
and
many
a
scheme
lies
buried
in
his
grave.
