DIED IN SERVICE
'mpressive Army Ceremony
Held for Harry Fearn of
Ambulance Company Who
, Died at Camp Taylor,
Omaha has buried the first f its
sons who went forth scarcely a month
ago in answer to the country's call to
arms. Private Harry G. Fearn of the
Omaha ambulance company, who died
Sunday at Camp Taylor, at Lduisville,
Ky., was buried yesterday with full
military honors accorded to a soldier
in the army of the United States,
Eight comrades in army uniform
laid their hats upon the flowers, after
the military custom, and bore the
casket into the St. Philomena church,
past the .guard of honor standing' at
present arms. Behind'the casket for
lowed the frail little mother of the
deid soldier, leaning upon his younger
brotner s arm. t.
Start and Stripes.
At the door of the church the little
procession halted. The banksxof flow
ers on the casket were one by one re
moved, revealing at last the simple
glory of the stars and stripes over it.
At sight of that banner, under which
her son had gone forth in all the
beautiful enthusiasm of youth and un
der which he had died, the little moth
er straightened with a quick intaking
of hreath and then the tears, born of
all the pride and sorrow of patriotic
motherhood, sprang from her heart
and flooded in her eyes. She turned
and leaned upon his brother's arm.
Draped only with the American
flag, the casket was moved down the
aisle to the altar, where Father Sten-i
son celebrated solemn vhigh requiem
mass, assisted, by Father Stagno and
Rev. E. J. Flannigan. After the full
choir's requiem chant Mrs. Leo Hoff
man sang in solo "Forget All Thy
Sorrow,' and Father Stenson deliv
ered the funeral sermon.
"Though he did not die upon Jhf
held of battle, in the sight of God he
has died for his country." Father
Stenson had scarcely uttered these
words in meniory of the dead soldier
when suddenly overhead, as befitting
a soldier s requiem, the, iron bell be
gan to peal and it was answered by
other bells and the great sirens of the
city shook the air calling all men to
think of Liberty.
It was 10 o'clock and for five min
utes during the funeral service the
bells and whistles, by order of the
president, called men to make finan
-cial-sacrinces tnis aay in me
'cause. But this man had ir
sacrifice and was at peace.
Guard of Honor.
After the ce"rcTnony the guard of
honor escorted the body to the Holy,
Stpulcher cemetery, where, after the
casket had been lowered Unto the
eroutd. the firinsr sauad stood at at
tention beside the graT The bronzed
and weatner-Deaten sergeant jn com
manrl stented one nace forward.
"Squad, attentionl With ;; blank
cartridges loadl" The men filled their
pieces. ' , ,
"Ready." The chambers of the n
fles clicked. ,
?'Aim." There wms a peculiar still
ness in the little group around the
crave. The mother of the boy was
she thinking of him as a soldier in
the splendid army of a great repub
lie? She was not weeping now.
"Firel" The volley broke, the si
lence. , - '
Tlire vollevs flashed the final sa
lute and when their reverberating
echoes had died away Private Harry
Fearn. the first of Omaha's soldier
dead, lay, where he would have wished
to lie, in a soldier's grave.

Sergeant Closson Says
I Boys Get Plenty to Eat
A letter from Sergeant Warren
Closson at Camp Cody has just come
to E.. E. Closson, 2513 South Ninth
street. Sergeant Closson was in Com
pany A of the late lamented "Dandy
Sixth." Hesays the spirit of thesixth
stiinives, 'though its organization is
vgone. " ,
"When : ioined the Dandy. Sixth I
knew I was with a fine bunch of men,
but I d-d , cot dream how good they
-re.Jlly were, he writes. r.very ouini
in vhe whole camp treats us with re
spect and some of them with 'awe.
There are veteran regiments here whp
can't comDare with Companies A and
B. Our company street and kitchen A
are held up as models. -
' "I understand there has been some
talk in Omaha about soldiers not get
ting enough to eat. I enclose a menu
card, and don't you think a man could
exist on what is on it? It certainly is
an injustice to the government to say
the soldier is not taken care of.
"Ourcompariy subscribed $9,000 for
Liberty tnds. Ba sure to attend the
-Strand the week or October 23. Sonie
v pictures of the Sixth Nebraska will
be shown then in the Pathe Weekly
