, Funeral of Colonel Michael Nolan

He was shot down in the immediate vicinity Of the
village Of Gettysburg, on the I'd Of July, 1868, that
famous field where the great battle, on the soil Of
Pennsylvania was fought, and was buried that
evening with his uniform and a blanket for a
shroud and coffin, in the orchard of Mr.. Monford.
The same night, through the care Of pious and
charitable lady, Miss Bell Gabernator, the body
was cNhumed, coffined, and carried to the burial
ground Of the Chase church Of The Grand Heart,
twelve miles distant from Gettysburg, where it
was deposited and has remained until the afflicted
and estimabe widow Of the deceased soldier
found kind friends who undertook to bring the
precious remains to her.
The funeral was one of the most imposing pro-
cessions of the kind we have ever witnessed in
New Orleans, and among the many we have seen
since the close Of the war, next to that of the la
mented Fred. Gruber, was the most nunlerousIy
attended. In the cortege ali classes were
represented His Honor Mayor Monroe, Recorder
Ahern, Col. Adams, chief Of police, and Hon. &c
rard stth, of the Board of Aldermen, and Hon.
VIM. McCnlloch, president Of the Board Of Assist
ant Aldermen, we observed among the momners
At a few minutes after four, the body was re-
moved from the residence of Mrs Nolan, the
widow of the deceased, at the corner Of Common
and Robertson streets, and was conveyed BY the
pail bearers to St. J0seph's Church, On Common
street, which was speedily filed to its utmost ca
, paCity. The solemn and impressive services
Of the Catholic Church for the dead
were here performed by the Reverend Fa-
theirs Sheeran and Hubert, who served during
the war as chaplains for Louisiana troops in the
army Of Virginia, and Rev. Fathers Hayden and
Smith of st. Joseph's Church. An excellent ad-
e dress was delivered by Father Hubert, who, if we
