woMAN's PATHETIC REQUEST.
Mrs. ZoII Wants Her Ashes buried
In Grave with Soldier Boy.

Mrs. Matilda Zoll. Of Washington.
has requested the War Department to
grant her the privilege of having her
ashes entOmbed with the remains of
her son, the late Private Frank Zoll.
1880 Company of Coast Artillery. who
is buried in Arlington National Gene
terry. according to an article from the
last issue Of the Army and Navy Jour
nal.
Even though Mrs. Zoll wants no
ceremony over the interring of her
ashes and does not wish her name to
appear with her sons upon the tomb,
officials at the cemetery have no au-
thority under law to grant the simple
request.
Under the law only the remains of
wives of soldiers may rest in a ma
tional cemetery, but it is probable that
officials at the War Department will
issue special order to grant Mrs.
Zolrs request.
