The last of the mortal remains of
Maj. George A. Camp were laid to rest
yesterday at Lakewood cemetery, and
many tear was mingled with the dirt
as it was reverently thrown upon the
coffin. The funeral was a notable one.
a special train of three cars left ST.

an hour later, containing over 800
mOurners. The train proceeded TO MIn-
netOnka. where the services were held.
The majority of the mourners were old
soldiers, members OF the Loyal Legion
and Grand Army, and they formed a
Sad-faced company as they marched TO

the Episcopal ritual of the dead being
read by Rt. Rev. Bishop Gilbert and
Rev. William Wilkinson, of the st.
Andrew Presbyterian church. and Rev.
PeptoR Morgan, of the st. Johns, St.
Paul, giving the responses. The apart
ment where the body lay was literally
filled with flowers, and the OdOr of white
roses penetrated to the outer air. The
floral offerings had been many, and the
caSket was suTmOunted by an especially
handsome bank of roses. When the
services were over the remains were
escorted TO the train which arrived here
at o'clock. A double line was formed
along tie pathway from the cottage to
the train. Then the eight pall-bearers.
headed by J. j. Hill and q. w. March
ant, marched with uncovered heads TO
the train. The caSket, borne by eight
