PAY LAST HONORS TO GENERAL WORTH
National Guard Escorts His Body Across Town to Church and Returns to the Ferry.
VISIT FATHER'S MONUMENT
Services Held in St. George's, Stuyvesant Square—Burial in Oak Hill Cemetery, Nyack.
As the draped flags of the Seventh regiment and the gun carriage on which rested the coffin of General Wiliam S. Worth, United States Army, retired, passed across the island yesterday and encircled the monument which testifies to the valor of the dead veteran's father, many heads were bared. The funeral marches of Chopin and Beethoven throbbed trough the streets.
The Seventh regiment, Colonel Appleton; the Second battery, Major Wilson, and a troop of Squadron A, Major Bridgman, escorted the body from the West Fourteenth street pier, to which it had been brought from Staten Island by the government boat General Meigs. Five officers and six enlisted men of the Eighth regiment, Governor's Island, constituted the United States Army escort. The honorary pallbearers, who walked on either side of the gun carriage bearing the coffin, were Generals Charles F. Humphrey and James M. J. Sanno, Colonels Frederick A. Smith and James Allen, Captains A. S. Walker, J. I. Miller, E. M. Johnson, Jr.; Joseph H. Lyman and Traber Norman, all of the United States Army; General Charles F. Roe, New York National Guard; Colonel Daniel Appleton, Lieutenant Colonel William H. Kipp, Major Charles L. Lydecker and Major Walter J. Schuyler, of the Seventh regiment, and John G. Heckscher and Richard H. Halstead.
In St. George's Church, Stuyvesant square, where the service for the dead was read, were, among others, General Molineux, a cnmrade in the civil war of General Worth, and Charles J. Murphy, who fought with General Worth's father in the Mexican war.
Leaving the church the cortege passed up town to and around the Worth Monument, and thence to the West Twenty-third street ferry, where the escort was dismissed. The firing party and the pallbearers accompanied the body to Nyack, where the burial took place in the Oak hill Cemetery. Taps and three volleys closed the honors to the dead.
