Synopsis
Excerpt from Conversion of Captain William E. Sees
A soldier's funeral! Alas, how common a sight it has become!
Only a few years ago, whilst committing to the grave one or thegeterans of 1814, and thinking how the little band of comrades gathered there was rapidly diminishing in numbers, and that all were approaching the ordinary limit of human life, we ventured upon the remark that such. Scenes, then SO rare, would probably soon be no longer witnessed; that all who had borne arms in the service of their country, would, ere long, be conveyed to the tomb, and the soldier's fune ral would be witnessed no more.
Ah, how sadly did we err in our anticipations' The solemn music Of the funeral dirge the mea sured tread of the mourning escort; the smoth ered tones of the muffled drum 5 the silent crowds along the line Of the sad procession, paying the last tribute Of respect to the remains of the brave deceased; alas, how frequent now this scene Of sorrow!
Such a seenc, but one of more than ordinary interest and solemnity, was witnessed in the city of Harrisburg, on the 8th of October, 1865. It was the funeral of captain william E. Sees, a brave and true-hearted Union soldier, and a fearless soldier Of the Cross.
