Eoone laid special stress on the fact
thai all must be prepared because 40
one could know his hour, r,ore Far
ticularly in these perilious times.
Everything, he said, had it's season,
except death. That comes to the
young or old, to the just and the un-
just. His tribute to the Private Will
cox was simple and sincere. He spoke
of him as having given his all for a
righteous cause and said that he had
not died in vain. Taking advantage
of the sacrifice of the greatest gift,
life, he plead eloquently that all others
be as unstinting in their loyalty to
their country. Rev. Boone brought
out clearly how little those who cannot
go can do even though they give every
cent, as compared with the giving up
of life which may be the lot of every
soldier and sailor in the service.
After a solo, beautifully sung by
Mrs. Boone, Rev. Sparkes pronounced
the benediction. The service at tie
auditorium ended with "Tenting To-
night" sung by seven of the Guards,
who stood at either side of the body.
They were: Messrs. Whitson, Cooper,
Bishop, Wedge, Hennemann, Gamradt
and Conklin. The casket which had
remained closed during the services
was opened to allow the throng an OPP
portunity to file slowly past for a final
reverent look on the face of the hero
dead. AS the remains were carried
from the building to the hearse the
band played '"The Star Spangled Ban
ner." The band preceded the procession
to the cemetery playing the funeral
dirge. They were headed by First
Lieut.. Cardinal and were followed by
the color guard, then the firing squad,

guard behind which marched the two
uniformed chaplains, the family cars,
the G. A. R., and w. r. c., and the
long line of cars containing the
friends. The cortege was most digni-
fed and made lasting impression.
At the cemetery, the men sang,
Nearer My God to Thee" followed by
a short service by both Rev. Boone and
Rev. Sparkes. The firing squad COM
manded by Lieut. Cardinal fired three
volleys over the grave. DR.. Blk
sounded "taps" while the body was
lowered to its resting place awaiting
the resurrection morning.
Private Wilcox was buried with
highest military honors. Although a
private in the army of the United
States the shots fired over his casket
were the same as accorded general.
Although he died as the result of dis
ease contracted while driving a truck
in a comparatively safe land instead
of falling in action while going over
the top, the tribute paid to him was
the same. Flags were draped and
hung at half mast, great building
was filled while many stood outside,
business was suspended all to do him

the rank, no matter what the service,
the motive for which a man or woman
gives their all at this time makes
them worthy of the greatest tribute
