SOLDIER DIES AT BEAUVOIR HOME
W. F. Gainey, Veteran of the Southern Confederacy, Claimed by Death At Soldiers' Home
(BILOXI)
Rev. A. H. Clark, Baptist minister of Biloxi, who on yesterday was called to the Jefferson Davis Soldiers' Home to perform a marriage ceremony uniting two of the inmates in the holy bonds of wedlock, was summoned to the soldiers home again today. His mission at Beauvoir today was to preach a funeral sermon over the body of Confederate veteran, W. F. Gainey, aged 80 years, who breathed his last at the Beauvoir hospital Monday night at 11:30 o'clock.
Mr. Gainey entered the Jefferson Davis Soldiers' Home December 13, 1914. He was reared in Scott county, Alabama. In the war between the states he answered his country's call serving in Company "E" Sixth Mississippi infantry. For several days Mr. Gainey lay unconscious awaiting the last bugle call. All efforts to get in touch with his relatives failed. His body was interred at the Beauvoir soldiers' home cemetery at 11 o'clock this morning.
