that is now filling Europe with sor-

Comrade Pays Beautiful Tribute
to Veteran Robert A. Haire

At the funeral service OF Robert
A. Hare, veteran of the Civil war,
who was buried last week by Custer
Post c. A. r., the following beau,i-
ful eulogy was delivered over his re-
mains by II. F. Bartine of the local
post
My Friends: 1t was and is a
source OF profound regret to the
members of Custer Post that Com
rade Hare, in his life time, for reas-
ons of his own, doubtless good ones,
never joined the local organization of
the G.. A. II. We respected him, we
esteemed him, we admired him, we
loved him. He had at times been
with us at our social gatherings and
patriotic exercises. 1t would haze
gladdened our hearts and filled us
with both pleasure and pride to have
enjoyed with him the closer intimacy
of the Post hall. But the tributes
paid to the soldier dead of this great
nation do not depend upon member
ship in the G. A. r. The fact that
man is or was eligible for such
membership entitled him to all that
grateful people can bestow Upon
him in the way OF respect and vener-
alton. Within these grounds, so dear
TO the members of Custer Post, sleep
many who were not members 'of cur
order. They were, however. our
comrades in arms in the days of lorg
ago. They stood shoulder to Should
er with us in war which shook the
