IN A SOLDIER'S GRAVE
Mr. Henry Beard Burried With Military Honors.
Yesterday afternoon the funeral services of the late Mr. Henry Beard were held and the remains of the old soldier were quietly laid to rest in Elmwood cemetery besides those of the comrade he had requested to sleep by. He was buried with military honor and many admirers of the man who first planted the Stars and Stripes upon the walls of the City of Mexico sent floral tributes. There were many of them.
At 6 o'clock many friends of the deceased, a squad consisting of members of the Governor's Guards and Richland Volunteers, under command of Lieutenant Brennen, a good many members of Camp Hampton, and others assembled at the late residence of the deceased. The militia acted as an escort to the remains and fired the customary salute over one grave. When the funeral party left the residence many took street cars and went to the cemetery gates to await the arrival of the remains. The services were conducted at the grave by the Rev. W. W. Daniel.
