Frank Van Ry

We regret exceedingly that we were prevented from publishing a regular edition of our paper last week, and with it deprived of the occasion of giving a complete and justly merited sketch of the incidents connected with the death of Frank Van Ry, one of the veteran heroes of the "Eighth" We will only state that on Saturday afternoon, the 26th, the remains of the deceased were escorted to the grave by a large number of soldiers of the late war, the pall-bearers being selected from among their ranks, and were followed by a long train of relatives and friends. Not less that sixteen regiments were represented, with Lieut. J. Kramer in charge of the arrangements. The funeral services took place in the Third Reformed Church, where Rev. Uiterwijk delivered an appropriate sermon
