the school children marshaled by Misses
Fleming, Walters and Gates, might take place
iii the column, which they did-marching just
in rear of the Mexican Veterans. This was a
very beautiful feature Of the procession, which
further augmented by quite long line
of carriages. Upon arriving near the GENE
terry where Sergeant Shrieves and Lieutenant
Hayne are buried the school children, the
Veterans and the Guards halted in order that
the Union soldiers and sailors might pass to
the front-the Guards saluting them with q
some highly appropriate remarks and recited
some fitting selections of poetry and then
offered a prayer. This was done at Sergeant

then at Lieutenant Haynies, then at the
grave of Captain Peter Robbins, OF the 26th
