YEAGERTOWN.

  John H. Garrett of Burnham was laid to rest in the Yeagertown cemetery on 
Friday afternoon with military honors.  A large number of people followed to 
pay their last tribute to his memory.  One more brave soldier has answered 
the last roll call and has gone to join the innumerable host of the blest on 
the evergreen shore.  One more soldier's grave to decorate when spring 
flowers bloom.  After the toils of this life are past his rest is sweet.  He 
was a devoted member of the M. E. church for many years.
