a tribute to those who had heeded

final services were to b-" held. The
lo-i: li'ies of service men were fol
lowed by some Tot'i -autoni(diIes which
carried the citizens of Cass county to
pay tribute to their heroic dead.
The ernet ery was a dense mass of
h imanity, nearly ::,0d0 persons be
in aim-red in the vicinity of the
Hippie family lot where interment
was made. The service men in
uniform formed a hollow square
around the t-rave. the relatives of
the departed beins the only occu
pants of the sacred plot where their
loved out- was, to be laid lo rest.
A brief prayer was offered by Kev.
I'ontius and the quartet gave a num
ber that had been one of the favorite
hvmijs of the fallen .soldier from his
childhood days. "No. Not One'."
The tribute to the dead was pi veil
by Attorney V. O. Kieck in a very
impressive manner and at its eon
clusion the flap that had guarded its
defender since the day he had left
the shores of France, was removed
from the casket and placed in the
hand.-, of the bereaved family.
The firinp squad then fired the
customary sahie over the crave, and
to the sweet sad strains of "Taps."
there was laid to rest all that was
mortal of the dead.
Thus is closed the liiSt chapter of
a real American. a youth whose
..-ion of love for his country was
as preat as the heroes whose lives
had been spent in the creation oT tiie
republic for which they and he have
heroically died.

May 1. JS94. at 1-ouis.vilIe, Nebraska,
