Atlanta constitution - Mr. Lee Hardin Reposes in Oakland Cemetery
Buried With Military Honors.
The Funeral from the Residence of Colonel Mark Hardin Yesterday - It Was Largely Attended.
In view of the confederate monument, in Oakland Cemetery, the body of Lee Hardin was laid to rest, with military honors, yesterday morning.
A more imposing spectacle has seldom been witnessed in this city. Every military organization in Atlanta participated in the ceremonies, including the Atlanta Military Band. A large concourse of people was present and the entire area about the vault was crowded with spectators.
After the burieal, three military salutes were fired by the Atlanta Rifles, of which organization Mr. Hardin was second lieutenant.
IT was a beautiful tribute to one who had lived a blameless life in the community and whose future was fairly teeming with unrealized honors.
The funeral services of Mr. Hardin were held at the residence of his father, Colonel Mark A. Hardin, 105 Pryor Street, yesterday morning.
They were held at 10:30 o'clock. Before that time, however, the Hardin residence was crowded with a large concourse of friends and acquaintances. The military began to arrive about 10 o'clock and before the time for the funeral arrived every military organization in the city was present.
The casket reposed in the parlor of the residence and presented a scene of rare loveliness as it stretched before the sorrowing gaze of onlookers a perfect mass of beauty. Every design that could be secured, as expressing the higher and better life into which the sufferer had entered gave variety to these beautiful tributes of love and affection.
The services were conducted by Rev. Walker Lewis of Trinity Methodist church. In his tender and characteristic manner, he referred to the distinguishing qualities of the dead and spoke of the wide esteem in which he was held as eloquent proof of those unselfish virtues by which he was so abundantly characterised. His words of consolation addressed to the afflicted hearts of thos present were also full of tenderness and beauty.
A fevent prayer was offered and several appropriate songs were sung.
At the Cemetery - The funeral cortege began to move in the direction of Oakland cemetery a few minutes after 12 o'clock. As soon as the procession was organized, it extended for several blocvks and presented an interesting pageant.
At the cemetery a large number of friends who had taken the street cars and other conveyances, were awaiting the arrival of the procession.
When the sorrowing crowd, which had followed the casket had arrived, the scene about the vault was very imposing. The exercises at the tomb were short and impressive and after the immediate relatives and friends had retired, a parting salute was given in honor of the dead soldier.
In a few minutes, all was silent and the last chapter of a noble life was written.
The hearse was enveloped in a silken United States flag, while the coffin was covered by a flag of the Hibernian Society. The following gentlemen acted as honorary escort: Colonel W. L. Calhoun, Colonel A. J. West, Colonel John Milledge, Captain M. B. Spencer, Captain John A. Miller, Captain W. S. Kendrick, Captain Joe Nash, Dr. N. O. Harris, Mr. R. C. Black, Mr. R. M. Farrar and Mr. H. C. Stockdell.
The following of his former friends and associates were pallbearers: Messrs Frank West, William Elkin, Jr., Arnold Broyles, Ray Welborne, Clyde Haynes, Clarles Black, Will Ellis, Nash Broyles, Jack Slaton and Douglass Boyd.
