Written by Vivian Rousseau 4 June 1970:

"At the hour of departure, the Frankfort Joseph H. Lewis Chapter of the
D.A.R. marched in a body to the depot to cover his casket with flowers. At
Midway, the aged widow of Gen. John C. Breckinridge was waiting to pay her
respects. At the Louisville Depot, leading members of the Orphans Brigade
were assembled to make the transfer to Glasgow. At the Kentucky Confederate
Home, the room named in his honor was draped in mourning and members wore a
badge of mourning for 30 days. The largest group ever assembled in the
Glasgow Municipal Cemetery attended his burial.

"The guests of honor at the dedication [of the marker referred to in the
first post] will be his great-granddaughter Mrs Sam English and sons, of
Louisvile. She was the former Betty Gorin Lewis, of Glasgow, a daughter of
George Lewis who, with his father, Jack Lewis, were widely known bankers
here many years. Her only sister, Ms Phillip Gildred, (Helen) of
California, is unable to attend, but has sent appreciative greetings to her
home county, together with a copy of the official call for recruits
published by Gen. Lewis. Their mother was the late Helen Crenshaw, one of
Glasgow's popular beauties of the gay nineties. Their home is now that of
the John T. Mitchells."

"Names of members of the Orphans Brigade who live in this area are being
compiled and it is hoped all descendants still in the area will attend the
ceremony. The list will be published next week, together with further
details on the program." [this was not found by me]
