General Hoke Buried in Raleigh Yesterday

Raleigh, NC, July 5 - When the statehoused closed in honor of his memory and 
several of the state officers among the long list of honorary pallbearers, 
General R.W. [sic] Hoke was laid to rest here this morning in Oakwood Cemetery 
after services at the Church of
the Good Shepherd. The church was filled to its capacity, and several hundred 
were turned away.

The floral tributes were the most beautiful at any funeral held in Raleigh in 
some time. General Julian S. Carr, commander of the North Carolina division, 
United Confederate Veterans, led a long line of veterans in the procession to 
the cemetery.

General Bennett H. Young, commander in chief of the United Confederate 
Veterans, sent a message of condolence.

[Note: The obituary reads R.W. Hoke but it is believed this should have been 
J.F. Hoke; 27 May 1831-3 Jul 1912]
