A Soldier’s Funeral

Friday’s Daily.
The funeral of W. R. Bryant, the old soldier, who died at his home on south Main street, Thursday morning, took place this afternoon from Kyger’s undertaking establishment. The funeral was conducted by Private Soldier Post No. 62, G. A. R., who turned out in force and escorted the remains of their deceased comrade to their last resting place. At the grave the G. A. R. funeral ceremonies under the direction of Post Commander Lawson were very solemn and impressive. When the last shovel full of dirt had been thrown into the grave and the benediction had been pronounced, a firing squad from Company D under the command of Corporal O. E. Shupe, gave the old soldier a parting salute, and “left him alone in his glory.”
