LAS VEGAS AGE
4/22/1911
 
FUNERAL OF J. S. ANDERSON
 
The funeral services over the remains of James S. ANDERSON were held at 
Bremerton, Washington, Saturday, April 15 at 2:30, and were largely attended, 
the Presbyterian minister officiating.  The service was beautiful and impressive.  
The casket was under a canopy of flags and a flag was draped over the foot.  
The floral offerings were beautiful and from many friends.  The choir sang 
"Nearer My God to Thee," "Some Day We'll Understand," "My Father Know" and 
"Abide With Me."  Mr. KOPER read "Crossing the Bar."
    
The old soldiers were bearers and a firing squad from the navy yard marched 
beside the casket.  At the grave the G. A. R. officiated--the poor old men 
with tears in their eyes.  The firing squad fired the last salute, three rounds, 
and the bugler sounded "taps."  And then the old comrade was left there alone in 
the pine woods under the black clouds to await the resurrection.
