Wednesday, January 31, 1900 Daily Eugene Guard (Eugene, OR) REMAINS OF OREGON DEAD Caskets of the Volunteers decorated at the Presidio. SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 30 – Friends and relatives of the Second Oregon volunteers visited the Presidio this afternoon and decorated with violets, ferns and roses the caskets of the dead soldiers of that regiment who were brought here from Manila on the transport a few days ago. The bodies are in hermetically sealed caskets, under guard, near the tenting ground where their comrades lately shivered in the fog and wind of the Presidio. If the remains are not called for they will be buried in the national cemetery here with military honors. These are the names of the dead patriots who answered to their last roll-call in the Philippines: Lewis E. Miller, Company A, spinal meningitis, November 8, 1896 Frank E. Renfro, Company G, September 27, 1898 Wistar Hawthorne, Company C, paralysis, January 6, 1899 Charles E. Minler, Company M., fever, September 15, 1898. John H. Fenton, Company B, malarial fever, November 10, 1898. Edwin W. Hampton, Company H, killed in action, February 12, 1899. Corporal Harry G. Hibbard, Company K, typhoid, December 9, 1898. Charles P. Oliver, Company H, typhoid, November 2, 1898. Charles H. Ruhl, Company H, diarrheas, February 6, 1899. Frank E. Hibbs, Company A., other data obliterated. R. E. Perry, Company A, typhoid, August 25, 1898 Charles A. Horn, Company C, dysentery, October 11, 1898. Fred J. Norton, Company F, acute dysentery, December 8, 1898. Royal E. Fletcher, Company B, typhoid, January 28, 1899 WILL BE BROUGHT HOME The bodies of Wistar Hawthorne and Charles Horn will be brought to Eugene for interment, the former being sent for by his parents, Professor and Mrs. B. J. Hawthorne, and the latter by the Lane County Veterans Association. As soon as the boys found that the body of Horn was unclaimed, the immediately communicated with Colonel Long at the Presidio and gave him instructions to send the body here. He replied by saying the sanitary conditions there were such that it would be several days before the bodies would be started. It is very probable that the bodies of both soldiers will be shipped together. (Submitted by Jim Dezotell) |
