Wessington Springs Herald 5 July 1889
Im Memorian

    At a special meeting of E. O. C. Ord Post No. 29, G. A. R. held at
Wessington Springs Jerauld county Dak., on the 29 day of June 1889. The
following Resolutions were adopted.

    Whereas, Death the inevitable, has removed from our Post, Alfred L. Eager an
honored member of our Order who died at his home in Jerauld county Dak., on the
9th day of June 1889.

    Therefor be it Resolved, that in the death of Comrade Alfred L. Eager, the
Nation has lost one of its loyal veteran defenders; his family a kind father;
the county an intelligent and upright citizen, and our order an honored member.

    Resolved, that in Comrade Alfred Eager we recognized one of that noble type
of American manhood, who, a quarter of a century ago, when the Union was in
imminent peril, laid aside the pursuits of peace and happiness and voluntarily
went down under the old flag into that contest which ended in the one being
unsevered and regenerated and the other unsullied and victorious.

    Resolved, that a copy of these resolutions be published and a copy thereof
sent to the family and relatives of the deceased, and that the members of the
post wear the usual badge of mourning for the period of 30 days.

                         By order of
                         John R. Francis, Adj't
