A high mass of requiem was celebrated at nine o'clock at St. John's church by Rev. Father Cleary, assistant pastor. Six First Sergeants from Companies I, K and L, under First Sergeant Bressette, acted as pall-bearers. The flag-draped casket was carried on a gun caisson and a rife squad discharged a volley at the grave in Mount Carmel cemetery while a trumpeter sounded "taps."
