On Friday night the remains of the gallant Lieut. Charles Reem, of 
Frankstown. who fell in the same battle, arrived and were conveyed to 
the Hall. The body was enclosed in a metallic coffin, and, considering 
the length of time he had been dead was in a good state of 
preservation. The funeral took place on Sunday, and the remains of the 
dead hero were followed to their final resting place in the 
Presbyterian cemetery by a large concourse of citizens, preceded by Van 
Tries' Cornet Band and military escort.
