GEN. MIZNER To- Be
BURIED WEDNESDAY
Had Brilliant Record in Civil
War and In Several Indian
Campaigns

Brig. Gen. Henry Rutgers Miner,
attorney. Civil war hero, veteran of
Indian campaigns and pioneer OF De-
troit, died, Monday, in his home, No.
$50 Second-ave., from ailments
brought on by his advanced age of 81
years. For 7s years. Detroit has been
his home.
When the confederates had cast the
die by firing upon Fort Sumter, Gen.
Miner, then a legal practitioner or
Detroit. at once offered his services 10
the union. He was appointed TO a
captaincy in the regular army, and at
nrst devoted his efforts TO mastering
IN Michigan recruits. His opportunity
to 60 to the front came in January,
1862, and less than a month after he
Was relieved OF recruiting duty, he
was In the thickest OF the fighting at
Prairieville, Ky.
From that time, through the Civil
war, and into campaigns against In
dams, after the union had been saved,
Cen. Mizner's life was the strenuous
one of the lighting man.
II was at Jonesboro that Gen. Miz-
oer achieved perhaps his greatest
fame, by leading the historic charge
Of the Fourteenth Michigan infantry
into the trenches of the confederates.
When the war Of the rebellion was
at an end, Gen. Miner, instead OF
going back to his law books, decided
TO remain with the army. He re-
enlisted, July Is, 1865. From 1869 to
1880, he was on duty in the west and
northwest, during numerous India>
uprisings.
Gen. sMizner Is survived by one
daughter, Mrs. Julia l. Poillon, of De-
troit; two sons, Henry r.. Miner, Jr..
Of Detroit, and Walter /. Miner, of
Chicago; and one sister, Mrs. Samuel
+. Pittman.
Funeral services will be held Wed
nesday afternoon, at o'clock, from
3 the Mizner residence The Rev Her.
bert III. III. Fox, rector OF ST. Johns
church, will officiate. Interment will
be In Elmwood cemetery.
