assistant Acknowledgement of vir-
ginia when carried to a local hos
pital after suffering fatal injuries in
saving his 10-year-old son and boy
companion from death in front of a
plunging automobile.
The funeral of the distinguished
officer and veteran was conducted
Saturday afternoon, June 6, from st.
Peters Catholic Church in Rich
mond, all military honors being ac-
corded. Detaehments from every ma
tional guard unit in Richmond, as
well as prominent military men from
many sections of the state, were in
attendance. Heads of all state de-
partments were also at the church,
which building could not accommo-
date the throng.
The military record of Col. Lee
Masurier was both active and distin-
guished. OF him. Governor Trinkle
said:
"In point of efficiency he just
about topped the list of military Off
GERS in Virginia. He was, besides, a
most excellent man. | do not know
of a better"
During the World War, when Col.
LeMasurier sought to enter the serv-
ice of the United States abroad, Gov
ernor Henry Carter Stuart had him
assigned 20 a post in Virginia by the
of War, insisting that his
worth to the state was invaluable
during the crisis. He was a member
Of Stonewall Jackson Camp, Sons of
Veterans, of the Amer
lean Legion. and a Spanish-American
War Veteran. He had been connect.
ed with the military forces of Vir-
sinia since May "a, 1894.
Following services at the church.
the casket, draped in a U. S. flag,
was placed upon an artillery Gals
son, ON which cortege it was conduct
ed to the grave. Here three volleys
were fired by battalion of the
lS3rd Infantry, which acted as es-
eolS. after which taps were sounded.
a more gentle or more gallant
spirit never passed in Richmond than
when Col. LeMasurier ceased to
breathe. Courteous and courageous,
ne won the respect and friendship of
I'll who knew him, and served to
maintain, in its brightest effulgence,
he high tradition of Southern chiv-
airy and of true manhood.
His last act was to lay down his
lie that he might save that of his
hid. His last wish was that he
night be buried in his uniform and
ais body covered with the U. S. flag,
which he has fought for, respected
md loved. Il
He is survived by widow, two
children and by one sister.

that the horse was the dam of the

1T was a revelation and alien

THE Gridiron Club is a mirror; it
