the American flag, and completely covered with flowers, was 
borne to St. Ann s on the shoulders of his comrades of the 
battery, to the mournful notes of the bugle’s funeral dirge, 
and the Rev. Dr. Alsop performed the last solemn rites of

youngest and brightest of their class, who was the first to 
leave for the great unknown. W. H. P.
