Dead Kansan Honored When BouS
Is Placed in Alamo
BURIAL AT SAN FRANCISCO
Long Procession of People Pays he-
spect to Dead General-Regu-
lar Army Burial Service
Read

San Antonio, Feb. 21.-A funeral
service of military simplicity, IN
which regulars at Fort Sam Hous-
ton, national guardsmen at camp
Wilson and thousands of civilians
from San Antonio Joined, was held
Yesterday afternoon for the late
Mai Cen. Frederick Funston, COM
mander of the southern department.
The eliminating honor paid the dead
general was the placing of his BODY
within the Alamo, the first time
the Alama has ever been used for
such a purpose. There while men
from the Nineteenth infantry formed
a V-shaped guard to the old stucco
doorway. a mile of mourners passed
in and out of the building from D
O'Clock until nightfall.
The only religious services here
were at General Funston's official
residence at Fort Sam Houston
There Chaplain Barton w. Perry of
the Third field artillery, read the
regular army burial service.
Lead Kindly Light" played by
the Nineteenth infantry band, was
the only musical offering.
A continual procession filed ip
and out of the building from 8 I'M
til 8 o'clock, and many we're unable
to gain entrance. At o'clock, ac-
companied by an honor guard OF
Company c, Thirty-seventh infan-
try, the casket was taken to the
Southern Pacific station. In the OBJ
servation section, surrounded by
flowers. and with two soldiers stand
ing at attention by the casket, the
body will make its journey to San
Francisco. Capt. Fitzhugh Lee, Gen
eral Funston's aide, a sergeant and
nine enlisted men, will accompany
the body to San Francisco.
At the Alamo perhaps the most
touching incident of the funeral oc-
cured, when Brig. Gen. Henry A..
Greene, commander of the Twelfth
provisional division at Camp Will
son, stepped apart from the group
of officers and approached the cas-
ket where General Funston lay. He
gazed intently at the face a few mo-
ments then bent over, patted the
dead commanders head gently. turn
ed and walked out Of the building.
