THE HONORED DEAD - The bodies of James Gibboney and James Riddle, sons 
of Daniel Gibboney of Duncansville and J. B. Riddle of Frankstown 
township, and members of Company G, 125th Regiment, who fell at the 
battle of Antietam, were brought home last Thursday. The remains of  
young Gibboney were interred in the cemetery at Duncansville and those 
of young Riddle in the Presbyterian cemetery, this place, and were 
followed to their last resting place by an unusually large concourse of 
weeping relatives and sympathising friends. Peace be to their  honored 
ashes.

CORRECTION - In our last issue, in noticing the funerals of young 
Gibboney and Riddle, we stated that the remains of the former were 
buried at Duncansville. That was a mistake. They were interred in the 
Presbyterian Cemetery, this place.
