REMEMBER SOLDIERS BURIED AT SEA
Interesting Story of How the Memory
of Sera-eant Oeddes of the First
Nebraska Led to General
Ohserranee.
Thre Is no ceremony connected with
Memorial day that is full of more impres
sive significance than that of strewing
flowers on the waters In memory of the
dead American soldiers burled at sea.
The inception of this beautiful custom
belongs to Nebraska, and 'its universal
adoption throughout the country received
its first inspiration from Nebraska. It has
now become a part of the regular ritual of
Memorial day services and is observed
wherever there is a Grand Army poet of
Woman's Belief corps, being sanctioned
and ordered by the national department
oi tne urar.a Army 01 ins ncpuung tutu
Woman's Relief Corps.
The ceremony grew out of the death of a
Nebraska soldier. Who died and was burled
at sea in June, 1898. Sergeant George
Geddee of Company C, First Nebraska In
fantry, United States volunteers, was taken
111 with something of the nature of cerebro
spinal meningitis at, San Francisco a few
days before the regiment left that port on
board the transport Sherman for Manila,
Philippine islands. He Insisted on acconv
paoylng the regiment against the advice
of the surgeons at San Francisco. Three
days after the regiment left Ban Francisco
Sergeant Oeddes died, June K, 1898, and was
burled at sea the following day.
Darted at Sea.
The body was sewn in sail cloth, with a
solid cannon ball sewn at the foot of the
burial shroud, and the vessel, and In fact
the entire fleet of transports, was stopped
during ths Impressive burial ceremonies,
The body was placed on a plank and partly
suspended over the rail of the ship. The
First Nebraakai regiment was drawn up In
line at available points around the vessel
and the general services were conducted by
Chaplain Malley assisted by then Major
Btotsenberg. A detail or four meu from
Company C acted as pall bearers and stood
beside the plank on which the body lay en
shrouded. Then a quartet from the Thurs
ton Rifles of Omaha, Company I sang with
Impressive, beauty "Lead, Kindly Ught."
X'pon the conclusion of the song Chaplain
Malley delivered a brief prayer and the
plank upon which the body of Sergeant
Oeddes lay was tipped toward the sea and
all that was mortal of the young Nebraska
soldier slid gently into the waters of the
Pacinc It seemed to linger toward the
surface for a moment or two as If loth to
leave Its living comrades, and then It grad
ually sank until lost to sight In the fathom
less depths of the Pacific.
The burial at sea of Sergeant Geddes
was the Brat of any American soldier of
any war that was given an ocean burial.
He was a son of Charles Oeddes, a soldier
of the civil war, and was for a number
of years before his death a member of
the First Nebraska, Company G of Bea
trice. He wae among the very first of
Nebraska soldiers to volunteer his services
in the Spanish-American war. Prior to
his enlistment he was a student of the
Beatrice High school.
The Intelligence of his death and burial
was not made known to his home friends
until over a month after the sad episode,
because of the inefficient methods of com
munlcatlun between America and the Phil'
lppinet at that period.
All hat One Come Home. I1
Then cams scattering report of the death
of others of the regiment from accident
and disease In the Philippines, and when
the Philippine Insurrection broke out in
February, lf99, the reports of deaths and
casualties In ike regiment came with only
too ead frequency. However, the bodies
of those of the dead Nebraskans losing
their lives In the Philippines found Inter
ment In cemeteries there and were given
the loving care of friends, and were later
returned to the' United States to find
sepulture at home among relatives. It
remained for Sergeant Oeddes' body to be
the only one that could not be brought
back to the home land. His was the
broad tomb of the Pacific, and In Memorial
days to. follow his alone was denied the
tribute of flowers. It was .thls thought
that suggested to a Beatrice woman, Mrs.
Carrie M. Peters, a daughter of a soldier
of the war of 1812, the wife of a soldier
of the civil war and the mother of two
boys in the First Nebraska, that Sergeant
Geddes tomb should be decorated with
flowers flowers from his own home and
his bonnle Nebraska. So a box of flowers,
some from the garden of his own home,
and all of them of rare beauty, were gath
ered and shipped to San Francisco, at ths
Jnstance of Mrs. Peters, then secretary of
Rawlins Woman's Belief corps No. 92. The
express companies vied with each other
to have the honor of transporting the box
of flowers free. . The most tender and rever
ent care was taken of them by the special
orders of the express companies in order
that their freshness might not be marred.
Mission ef the Flowers.
Rev. George W. Crofts, pastor of the
Beatrice Congregational church, and for
merly of Council Bluffs, la.. Known
throughout the west as the "poet
proaoher," wrote an original poem, ex
pressing the sentiment of sending the box
of 'flowers on their long and loving mis
sion, which accompanied the box of flowers.
The Cox was sent from Beatrice In time
to reach Ban Francisco on Decoration day,
1000, and was accompanied with a letter
asking that Lincoln corps No. t, Depart
ment of California, would undertake the
mission of strewing the flowers on the
waters of the Paclflo at Cliff house.
That the impressive mission was per
formed will be seen by the accompanying
correspondence:
SAN FRANCISCO. Cel.. June 10, 1900.
Carrle M. Peters, Beatrice, Neb.: If our
communication to Lincoln Corps No. I, re
ceived, also the box of flowers, on the
Win, and, according to your request,-accompanied
by my nephew, I carried the
sacred box out to the Cliff House, a place
built on the edge of the rocks, and scat
tered the sweet flowers In the bay of San
Francisco, that they might be carried out
toward the broad ocean to the brave boy's
grave.
The little bunch that was tied with the
red, white and blue ribbon, I wrapped in
the flag, and sent that alone with the
tides.
I am so pleased that we were able to
carry out your wlahes. and as loving hands
prepared the sacred boa, I feel that such
was the love that sent it to the lonely
grave, end when another year comes
around X shall not forget the grave of
Sergeant Geddes.
As we held our memorial services for
deceased members on Thursday evening,
May SI, the poem and your lettera were
reserved tor that evening, and I assure
rou that the heart of every one was
ouched, whin they were read. The poem
was most beautiful and pathetic
I send you a photograph of the Cliff
Hou, that you may see from where
the flowers were strewn. Sincerely yours
In F. C. and U, DOT S. MORTIMER.

Thus was Inaugurated the cuatom .of

Rtnenker the Ocean Graven.
The following years Mrs. Peters again
asked Lincoln Corps No. t. Women's Re
lief Corps, Ban Francisco, to not let the
ocean graves be forgotten en Memorial
day, nor were they. And again was the
grave of Sergeant Geddee strewn with
weet flowerS, as Indicated by the follow
ing letters:

My Dear Mrs. Peters: This morning on
a member of Lincoln Relief Corp. Mrs.

I knew that you would be clad to know
they had been placed by loving hands,

June , in accordance with your wish and
that of Lincoln Corps No. I of Snn Fran

afternoon of May 90, a larre basket of
beautiful flowers from the corps, slso sev

It was cot until 1901 that tne matter was
officially taken up by the national and de
partment Grand Army of the Republic and
Women's Relief Corps, and since that time
tt has become part of the Memorial day
ritual.
In lils general order relative to Memorial
day for 1904, National Commander-in-Chief
John C. Black laya special stress upon the
practice of strewing flowers on the waters,
even to the far inland, that they may be
borne by the streams upon which they
are scattered to the sea, and there add
their tribute of memory to the dead at sea.
Similar orders have been Issued by alt
the state departments of the Grand Army
of the Republlo and corps, which have
been In turn communicated to the subordi
nate posts and corps.
Owing to the multiplicity ef services to
be held today and tomorrow, May 80, It has
been decided to defer the strewing of flow
ers on the waters until Sunday, June S.
The ceremony will be observed by details
from the three Women's Relief corps and
Grand Army of the Republic posts, and
will take place at the foot of Douglas street
In the afternoon of that day.
Incidentally It might be stated that Mrs,
Peters, the originator of the custom, Is
now a resident of Omaha, living at 26O0
Davenport street.

Delegates to Woman's Club Conven

Pavilion and Bee the Shew
Thoroughly.
ST. LOUIS, March 28 (Special Corre
spondence of The Bee.) During the past
few days a series of special moving pic
ture exhibitions have been given at the
Nebraska pavilion in the Agricultural
palace. On one morning the members St
the Nebraska Press association and their
wives, to the number of K0, were enter
tained with a number of the best scenes
In the collection, after which they we're
conduoted on a tour of inspection of Ne
braska exhibits in ths various exposition
palaces, by H. G. Shedd, the commission's
secretary. A general feeling of surprise
and pleasure at Nebraska's showing in
all of the departments was evinced by
all of the visitors. After the tour of
inspection a general reception was held
in the pavilion, where short addressee were
given, Nebraska songs rendered, and a
resolution adopted commending the Ne
braska commission and Its representatives
for the splendid exhibition of the state's
resources shown.
The following evening fifty Nebraska dele
gates to the Woman's Federation were the
guests of the commission at a similar re
ception and exhibition of the moving pic
tures. By special arrangement with ths
exposition authorities, this exhibition was
permitted in the evening after the closing
hours of the exhibit palaces, so that ths
party was not disturbed In sny way by
workmen and visitors In the building. Early
this week an exhibition of Nebraska
scenes, showing especially methods of
farming and the life on the range, was
given for the exhibitors In the Agricul
tural palace. These special exhibitions will
continue to be given from time to time, for
the pleasure of certain organisations, such
as the Jefferson Guard, the official guides
of the exposition and the local press repre
sentatives. Superintendent McGowan, who
has been In charge of the government In
dian exhibit, has asked that a special ex
hibition of Nebraska's farm and cattle
scenes be given for the Indians now camped
at the exposition, as he believes It will
be of great educational benefit to them. '
These Nebraska moving pictures have
grown In popularity since the opening day.
During the first few days exhibitions were
given but two or three times each day,
but during the last week they have been
running continuously end the little thea
ter, with Its easy chairs and electrlo fans.
is constantly Allied. The local press has
given unusual prominence to this feature
of the exposition agricultural exhibit. The
moving pictures exhibition Is under the
direct management of Secretary Shedd,
who has devoted constant thought and
rime to made It reproduce faithfully and
perfectly the real Nebraska to exposition
visitors.
Ths old "Lincoln car," whloh has been
housed In Omaha for so many years, la
now the leading feature of the Lincoln
museum, which Is located close to the
Illinois State building. Of all the inter
esting exhibits at the fair, none has crested
mote general attention or Is viewed with
a greater affection than this "Lincoln
oar," and Nebraska people will take a spe
cial Interest In It, since it wss the cher
ished property of the Union Paclflo Rail
road company so many years. Although
the car now is In a dlllpated condition. It
Is still the car that was used to bear the
remains of President Lincoln from Wash'
lngton, D. C, to Bprlngfleld. III., for Inter
ment. Moreover, It Is the only coach ever
built by the United States government for
the use of a president and cabinet
This private car was built according to
Mr. Lincoln's ideas by order of the War d.e.
partment in the fall of 1863. In design the
car is forty-two feet long and has a raised
roof. There was a state room, drawing
room and reception room. The state room
was Mr. Lincoln's private room, and In
this Is a large, specially constructed sofa
Which can be mada Into a bed at will. It
was this sofa which suggested to the late
George M. Pullman the idea for Improve
ment In the arrangement of the berths
of the modern Pullman car. All of the
original furniture of the car, with the ex
ception of two or three pieces, are now
shown. After the death of the president
most of this furniture was scattered, but
again collected by the Union Paclflo Rail
road company and the late George Francis
Train, an organiser of the Union Paclflo.
The car remained In the service of the
government until after the war and the
assassination of Mr. Lincoln. It made Us
last official trip In conveying the remains
of the martyred president. The car was
stopped at nearly every station on its ead
Journey, and it is estimated that 1,600,000
people passed through it to view the re
mains while enroute to Springfield. After
the burial of President Lincoln the' Union
Paolflo Railroad company obtained the his
torio car through the efforts and Influence
of Mr. Sidney Dillon, then head of the
Union Paclflo. It was at onoe moved to
Omaha, where for some time it was used as
a director's car. It was afterwards sent out
to the mountain division of the road, but
was subsequently brought baok to Omaha
and placed In a structure known as the
Lincoln shed, and men engaged to watch
and care for It. It remained the property
of the Union Pacific company until last
year, when it was purchased by the gen
tlemen interested In the Lincoln museum.
One of the unlaue features nt h xr.

yellow corn In large glass globes. These
globes are labeled 'The Gold of Nebraska."

for Omaha to attend the regular meeting of

and to spend several days superintending
the taking of more mcfvlng pictures of farm
scenes and panoramic views from moving
trains in the best portions of the state.
The Nebraska agricultural exhibit shows,
among other fits products, what Is perhaps
the most complete exhibit of popcorn at
the fair. It contains a great number of
varieties of all lengths and colors, from
the darkest red to the brlghteet yellow and
white. The small "Tom Thumb" variety
of the corn, which Is not much larger than
a good slsed blackberry, attracts great at
tention. Nebraska not only ranks first In
the production of popcorn, but, owing to
Its high altitude and bright sunshine, the
popcorn raised In tne stats is best adapted
for popping ,as it expands to a greater
extent with heat than that from any other
locality:
The exposition officials are showing much
Interest In the race from Omaha to St
Louis which la to be made In July by
Judge William Hayward of Nebraska City

friend In Omaha will make the race with

wager.

UNCLE SAM GOOD WHOLESALER
Brlas la Millions from Islands, Who,
Major Watrous Says, Will Be
Benefited.
In speaking of some of the things Uncle
Bam has done, Major J. A. Watrous, U.
8. A., in his Memorial day addfcsa before
the high school Friday, said:
"For a long time our good Uncle Bam
confined himself to a retail business In the
matter of Americanising foreigners. Tens
of millions of people have coane to us from
other cpuntrles. . We have seen them Amer
icanisedbecome loyal, patrlotlo cltUens
Americans in deed as well as In name.
Because of something which happened In
Havana harbor six years ago, matters soon
presented themselves which mads It In
cumbent upon Uncle - Beitf to add to his
successful retail business a wholesale de
partment for the Americanising of for
eigners. Those who have had ample op
portunity to watch the progress of the
wholesale department will tell you, end
with enthuslaam, that It is only a ques
tion of time when .the millions of people
In the Philippines, Porto Rico end our other
island possessions are well Americanised.
Let me remind you of the long-established
fact that whatever our good Uncle Sam
Undertakes he atlok to until he triumphs.
Keep close watch of his wholesale Amer
icanising department and of the Panama
canal."
