September 14, 1870 FIREMAN'S FUNERAL - The members of the United Fire Company, Captain Kimberly, were out pursuant to a call yesterday afternoon, in order to pay the last sad tribute of respect for their departed comrade, Richard U. Carstarphen, whose untimely death we have before noticed. The services were conducted according to the solemn ritual of the Catholic church, the Rev. Father Matthew O'Keefe presiding. The remains of the deceased were then conveyed to the Catholic burying ground, outside of the city limits, the distance being so great that the firemen, in a body, did not proceed to the grounds.
