Reno Evening Gazette March 15, 1923
E.H. Colquhoun Is Laid To Rest

  Edwin Howard Colquhoun, overseas veteran, who was killed at Silver City last 

Thursday night by Clarence Sage, was buried yesterday in a Reno cemetery.  The 

services were held at the Groesbeck & O'Brien chapel and were largely attended, 

a majority of those present being from Silver City and Virginia City.

  Rev. Stanley Boggess, Episcopal minister at Sparks, read the Episcopalian 

burial service and two sacred solos were sung by Mrs. Hansard.  Capt. W.H.B. 

Ryan and a squad of eight men formed an honorary escort, which accompanied the 

body to the cemetery, where a firing squad paid the last honors to the deceased 

comrade.

  Many and beautiful were the floral tributes which came from several points on 

the Comstock and from friends of the family in Sparks and Reno.
