Show GENERAL FRANKLIN. M At four score General W. B. Franklin has gone H to a brave soldier's last encampment. He H earned for himself a place which linked his H name forever with that wonderful galaxy of stars H which filled our sky when the canopy of the great H was was lifted: Grant, Sherman, Sheridan, Han- H cock, Kearney, Meade, Sedgwick, Slocum, Thorn- rjH as, Schofield, Reynolds, Howard, Lyon and the VH others, though whom the miracle of the great war H was wrought. He was always heard from In the "! war as one who though noiseless was always on f wl the battles bloody verge, always faithful, always fiaaaj true always confident and carrying confidence to JH those under his eyes. The honors he then won H he has ever since carried modestly and now when M his country has reached the foremost place among , the world's nations he has folded, his hands, and ifl gone to join his old schoolmates in the stars. God I M rest his soul. M |
