Last Sad Rites for General Grant at New York Funeral
The August funeral for General Grant opened under a clear sky with church bells tolling and gun salutes. About 100000 attendants followed the cortege to the grave as 300000 more viewed him in state earlier, while an Oak leaf wreath made by Grant’s granddaughter Josie and Julia rested on the casket. Veterans from Meade Post and church music accompanied the dawn as dawn marked the final day before interment.
