THE TOMB
Died--At the Wentworth Male Academy Barracks, April 15, of inflammation of the stomach, Cadet Sergeant Walter S. Lynch, of Lee's Summit, aged 17 years and 11 months.
In attempting to portray the sorrow felt and expressed by the numerous friends of this young man, made during his attendance upon three sessions of school in our midst, the writer feels that he is quite unequal to the task. Two weeks ago he was considered one of the strongest and healthiest cadets in the academy, but he was taken violently ill about ten days before his death, and although the best of medical skill was summoned to his air, it was of no avail and he died Tuesday night with a number of his friends at his bedside. Tuesday afternoon memorial services were held in the Methodist church, at which time Rev. Wm. Cobb, of Lee's Summit, and Revs. F.W. Esson, K.C. Gordon and W.T. McClure, of this city, spoke very touchingly to a large congregation of friends of the deceased. Tears flowed freely from the eyes of most of those present. Wednesday morning the full company of cadets escorted the remains to the depot, and as the train which was to bear their dead comrade to the home of his parents, in Lee's Summit, pulled out a farewell salute of eight guns were fired. Major Sellers and Colonel Jones and Cadets Atkinson, Harrelson, Allen, Gauldin, Russell and McCarn accompanied the remains to Lee's Summit, where impressive funeral services were conducted in the Methodist church. The entire population of the city attended the funeral.
