GHEAT THRONGS
GATHER TO SEE
DODGE FUNERAL
(Continued from rage One.)
for the dead seemed to be given Increased
solemnity.
The Klks' qua.'tet sang with much feel
ing. Bishop Newman's masterpiece,
"I-ad Kindly Light," and also "Jesus,
Lover of My Soul" and Julia Ward
Howe's "Battle Hymn of the Republic, '
all favorites of General Dodge and desig
nated by him as part of the service. Rev.
Dr. Buxton's voice trembled several
times, but was heard clearly through all
parts of the bouse.
In language of great force and beauty
Dr. Jones paid the peoples' tribute to
the memory of their distinguished fellow
citizen. Rev. Dr. Jones said in part;
Address of Dr. Jones.
"We have assembled today in this
home, which has become historic, to ac
knowledge the sovereign presence of Al
mighty God In human affairs, to pay a
tribute of affectionate gratitude to the
memory of the most distinguished cltlxen
of Council Bluffs and lows, to draw fur
ther Inspiration from the remembrance of
his splendid gifts and achievements, to
express our heartfelt sympathy with the
members of this large company of be
reaved friends and to seek the unspeak
able comfort which Is revealed in our
common and precious religion. The ob
"Ject of the service is not to attempt to
recount the biographical details, the thril
ling incidents or the extraordinary tri
umphs of General Dodge's eventful ca
reer. With these every reader of history
la already familiar.
A Splrltaal Mam.
"It hardly needs to be said that General
Dodge was not Indifferent to the spirit
ual side of life. The hymns selected
Mm to be sung on this occasion pro
claim In unmistakable language his un
faltering belief In God and the future'
life. They breathe the aspiration ex
pressed in the prayer of an ancient leader
of men. Lead me to the roclc that Is
higher-than I.' Back of his magnificent
self-reliance, his rare energy of will, his
power of mystifying strategy and invinci
ble, valor, he felt with Cardinal Newman
that 'there are only two luminously self
evident beings, myself and the Creator.'
Practical Idealist.
"The progress of the world always has
iK-en canted on by elect personalities.
JThc best type of a dreamer builds castles,
first in the air, then on the solid earth.
Jien of vision have led the world In all
departments of human activity. General
Dodge was a practical Idealist. Behind
all his performances, both as a railroad
builder and soldier, was a seeing soul.
Ills achievements were the results of
what one of the supreme thinkers of the
ages has described as 'the energy of
faith.'
"Ho came Into the world richly en
dowed pyhskally and mentally. The fact
that ne reached his eighty-fifth year
demonstrates that he must have preserved
and guarded his heritage well. Both as
a soldier and railroad builder he endured
untold hardships. He was acquainted
with all the delirious horrors of war. He
saw the belching flames and heard
deafening roars of the noblest bstterles
that ever thundered In defense of liberty.
Vet he outlived all the prominent leaders
in the civil war. A born engineer, a great
soldier, a man of Inflexible will. Invinci
ble courage, unswerving loyalty, sound
Judgment, blunt frankness, .deep Insight
into men, and of spiritual susceptibilities
theae sum up the qualities which brought
fame to General Dodge, and. through
him, a large measure of honor and suc
cess to Council Bluffs, Iowa and our
country."
fioldlers Pallbearers.
At the conclusion of the service six
stalwart young soldiers lifted the casket
from the bier and bore It with measured
tread to the gun caisson, strapped it
aecurely to the vehicle, then spread over
it the black winding sheet, which in
turn was almost hidden by a huge silk
flag. Then, drawn by six black horsea,
accoutered as If to drag the battery Into
action, the heavy cart lumbered away,
followed by the procession that stretched
half way across the town. The riderless
Heed, equipped with military saddle and
accoutrements was led behind. Strapped
to the saddle was the sword General
1 lodge carried during the civil war and
with which he led his commands many
times to victory.
There were no flowers on the gun cais
son, but It required three automobile
trucks to convey the floral tributes from
the limine to the cemetery.
Tli..- honorary pall bearers were sll
liiul men. They were: K. II. Merriuin,
C. W. MJ.lHmald. ISnmet Tinley, II. W.
Binder. W. A. Maurcr. C. T. Stewart,
John Mehlhop, jr., and Fred It. Davis. i
Services at Cemetery.
At the cemetery the simple military
services were conducted In the presence
of thousands. Nearly COO members of the
Iowa and Nebraska National Guard who
had followed the caisson, stood attention.
The old soldiers, the Grand Army of the
Republic and the Union Veteran legion
conducted the .last military rites. By re
quest . of Brigadier General Lincoln,
Joseph K. Rosenfeld of thin city sounded
"taps." Mr. Rosenfeld was General Lin
coln's regular trumpeter In the Klfty
flfth Iowa militia. He had also been se
lected by General Dodge whenever the
general had anything to do with a mili
tary funeral in Council Bluffs.
Following "taps," the Dodge IJghU
guardn, first organized by General Dodge
before the beginning of the civil war,
fired the salute across the grave. As the
roar of the guns died away the hills
picked It up and echoed and re-echoed It
with fainter and fainter tones until it was
lost to the ear and General Dodge waa
laid to rest on the spot he had selected
underneath the whispering trees he loved
and which he had seen grow from the
acorn. Then the great concourse of peo
ple silently moved away.
Klaaa at Half Staff.
Up at the brick mansion, which Gen
eral Dodge built and where he has lived
for forty years, the flag was at half
staff. At a front room of the house was
the casket, covered with a flag and with
a soldier guard of honor. The room ana
an adjoining room were full of flowers,
some of them sent by men of national
prominence.
Shortly before 1 o'cloca the carriages
began to arrive. Scores and scores of
them brought the mourners. The house
could not hold all. They filled the avail
able room, even to the library, where
autographed pictures ' of Abraham Lin
coln, General Sherman. Theodore Roose
velt and many others of General Dodge's
friends, filled that part of the walls not
filled by the bookcases.
Vacant Saddle
The streets outside the house were an
Impressive sight as the casket was car
ried to the waiting gun carriage and the
long cortege began to form, the military
companies marching slowly Into their
position, the black cavalry horse with
reversed saddle and empty boots in the
stirrups, aged members of the general's
former command In the civil war and dis
tinguished visitors. And over all floated
the sad and mornful, but nobly Inspir
ing strain of the "Dead March" from
"Saul," played by the Third regiment
band.
Dlatlnsmlahed Mourners,
Among the distinguished morners were
Governor George W. Clark of Iowa and
his staff; Lieutenant Governor William
L. Harding, Attorney General George

national commander; ex-Senator Millard,

that he has been known to have ex
pressed was faithfully observed.
