Inferred I'm Arlington Cemetery.


With simple services the remains of
Walter @. Gresham were laid at rest at
Arlington Cemetery, the nation s bury
ing ground, late Saturday afternoon.
Only Mrs. Gresham and her son, Otto,
accompanied the remains. Scarcely
half dozen people were gathered at
the depot on the arrival of the re-
mains. President Cleveland and the
members of his cabinet now in the city
had intended to meet the train, but
this idea was abandoned, as Mrs. Gres-
ham had made known her desire that
the transfer and burial should
be attended with as little for
rnality and publicity as possible.
Mrs. Gresham and Otto Gresham fol-
lowed the remains to Arlington in Pres
ident Oleveland's carriage, which had
been placed at their disposal. At the
cemetery the funeral party was joined
by President Cleveland, Secretaries
Olney, Carlisle and Herbert, and Major
General Miles, with eight private SOL
diers and bugler sergeant detailed
from Fort Meyer. The remains were
lowered into their last resting place,
the bugler sounded t'taps," and that
was all of the ceremony that marked
the interment. The site selected for
the grave is one of the most choice in
Arlington, next to Gen. Gresham's old
companion in arms, Gen. Sheridan, and
near by the graves of Admiral Porter
and Gen. Crook.
