her son, Sherman Granger, got on the
train. The doors of the car in which
WAS the body, were opened and the

ing look at the casket as he passeI. The
entire trip from PiItsburg to this point had
been lnterBpersed with demonstrations of
sorrow by all classes Of people. The fam
lily OF Gen. Sherman themselves became as
day passed and these signs of sorrow null
tIplIed, more and more impressed with the
great love the people bore for the lost one.
AS the train rolled into the station Mt
Columbus the space on either side was
crowded with people and for squares
away WAS solid mass. 1t ia estimated that
fully 10000 were struggling to get a view of
the car. The comrades of Mccoy post, &.

the deceased general from Lancaster and
