The funeral was conducted from Ruff
fners Chapel and Rev. Youngblood
! officiated. Many of his comrades Of
Fort Whipple were present and a large
number of the citizens. Remains were
deposited in Gov. Canyon Cemetery,
Fort Whipple.
The patients of Fort Whipple were
royalty entertained by the Chamber
OF Commerce and citizens of Prescott.
A large committee were appointed
with Mr.. Greenwood at the head of
this work as he is from year to year.
The work was carried on beautifully
and all of the boys were made to feel
happy. Some of the sickest boys dress
Ied themselves and walked around.
This affair gave them new pep and
renewed vigor. The air was perfumed
with the fragrance from the flowers
in the different wards. Ward 16 was
beautifully remembered by the Cham
Der of Commerce as only bed patients
were to receive flowers but all of the
boys of ward 16 were remembered,
and it is said due to their good be-
hayior and manly conduct special
favors were shown the boys of ward
16. Keep up this reputation and many
other good things will be given you.
We wish to thank the ladies' that took
part on the Committee serving in ward
