Some Personal "reminiscences.

Editor Tribune: Referring to my
communication of yesterday, | quote
the following from my letter written to
the Bismarck Journal in 1885, relative
to The first graveyard in Bismarck"
and which is the correct history:
In October, 1872, on the death of a
soldier in the Seventeenth infantry at
Camp Hancock, our commanding Off
Ger selected on the hill opposite a site
for post cemetery, and here the first
funeral in Bismarck took place-the
soldier, Private Sharpe, being buried
with military honors by his comrades.
In the following month Mrs. Melon
aids baby. the first child born in the
city, was inferred near him.
In the spring of 1873 these lots were
selected as site for the Presbyterian
to new location in the country. north
of the city, selected by the citizens
as permanent cemetery. Here until
the establishment of the Catholic
cemetery, with the exception of few
given temporary burials in the Presby-
terian grounds. were buried all the
people who died in Bismarck during
these early days of hardships, without
regard to station condition in life or
character
OF the men buried here who died
from violence. Franklin d. Wright was
killed by Indians; Lars Larson was
frozen on the prairie: Edward Reyn-
olds drowned in the Missouri: Charles
Saunders, killed by the engine, and
Cook. found dead at Apple Creek;
David Mullen. shot By soldiers of the
Seventh cavalry; Edward Smith, killed
at the Custer house by a travelling
man en- route from Indiana to Mon
tana: James Brooks. killed by soldier
from Fort Lincoln, and John ONeil.
killed by discharged soldier not a
resident of the city
There were also buried here a mum

who died in transit on the river and
We're given Christian burial by the
good people of this city Others who
came west with wives and children
hoping to find here homes and pros
perity. We're there laid to rest by sor
rowing friends. and it seems to me a
pitiful thing that with all the miles of
prairie intervening between the actual
and surveyed limits of the city the
humble graves of these poor pioneers
should have been devastated Many
Of them had received the priestly bles-
sing; they occupied bur little room
and the place should have been en-
closed and held sacred forever

A few were also inferred on the hill

citizens then took action to acquire
ground for a graveyard. We were all

was a citizens committee to select
suitable site in the country. Two of
this committee were Rev. !. o. Sloan.

DR. b. F. Slaughter They selected
this site and had it laid off for a grave
