FUNERAL SERVICES
 0F CHAPLAIN SCOTT
Impressive Sermon at First Baptist Church-Address of General A. J.
 Sampson at the Cemetery.

The funeral of Chaplain Winfield Scott at the First Baptist church at 2
 o'clock yesterday afternoon, was at
 tended by large concourse of people,
 friends of the deceased and his be-
 reaved wife. Always a leading figure
 in religious as well as public life in
 this valley his circle of intimates was
 not confined to any church, society or class of people, wherefore in his death
 there is quite general a sense of per sonal loss. Among others noted in the assemblage were George w. P. Hunt, president of the constitutional conWen- ton, who in former years served with him in the legislature. The members of the Grand Army of the Republic met in the parlors of Easterling & Whitney and escorted the body to the church, where it was carried through open ranks into the house of worship. The casket was almost buried in a wealth of floral offerings, the testi- monials of loving friends.
 The sermon was preached by Rev c. J. Banks, and was one most appro- priate to the occasion, he having been intimately associated with the de- cased during recent years. There were a number of appropriate musical se- lections, both hymns and solo num- bers.
 From the church the body was es- corted to the cemetery by the mem bers of the Grand Army, which turned out in goodly number considering how few the aging veterans are becoming. A large procession of friends followed the cortege The body was placed in the receiving vault, where it will re- main until such time as Mrs Scott can remove it to San Diego for final interment. A very interesting and well Worded address was delivered by Gen eral A. J. Sampson, as a member of the Grand Army, the reveille was sounded as the deceased had requested, and the final prayer was offered by Rev. Dr. Wilkinson. General Sampson's address follows in it's entirety:
 Chaplain Scott"
 Many come on the stage of life, act an unimportant part and are gone. Little more can be said of them than this: Born on the - day; died on the - day. Was a good man, or a bad man."
 Not so with our comrade whom we today mourn. His was an eVentful life; filled with successes in college years; in his young manhood he of fered himself a sacrifice to his country in '61 to '65; a successful minister in Syracuse, Leavenworth, Denver, San Los Angeles and other cities; an useful and loved chaplain in the United States army; an intelli- gent, efficient and honored member of the legislature of Arizona; an enthusi- | ast for the education of the children | and youth of our territory; a wise counselor and adviser in many of the | important business enterprises of life. | Such were some of the characteristics | of our loved comrade.
 He was also a man of remarkable ! energy, push and activity. He seemed | like one ten years younger than he. i Little did those, who met him in the i daily routine of life realize that he | was a constant sufferer from severe :! received in battle, at Spotsyl- | vana Court House in 1884. For bravery | on the field of battle he was strongly | by brigade and division for promotion to colonel ] of his regiment but before his com mission reached the regiment he was discharged by reason of his wounds.
 As a soldier, as a citizen; as a Christian, as a patriot; in business in the social circle; at all times and places he was model citi- zen. His words were chaste, his ac- tons circumspect. Childhood and youth were always safe in his pres ence, for no polluting, dembralizing words ever passed his lips in their presence, or elsewhere. In every day fife he was winsOme, a help to all with whom he associated.
 His church record was not merely ocal, for he was known from the At antic to the Pacific in his church He was earnest, aggressive, jealous, but always liberal. He had
