At 2 o’clock, Rev. Chaplain Ketterson of the 80th Battalion conducted appropriate burial services at the Belleville Burial Company’s undertaking establishment, and he also officiated at the burial.
The 80th Battalion, under command of Col. W.G. Ketcheson, was out in full strength, also firing party and the fine band of the Battalion in command of bandmaster Lieut. H.A. Stares. The band followed the firing party carrying reversed arms. A funeral march was played and to the slow trend of the battalion the cortege proceeded down Front street and across the lower bridge and thence to the cemetery.
Hundreds of citizens and many from the country who were in the city witnessed the solemn procession as it proceeded on its solemn wend to the city of the dead.
