Logan Dies In Washington After Long Illness
Washington, Dec. 27. Senator John A Logan died at his residence after a lingering fever and restlessness that overcome hopes of recovery. His wife and children were with him as death claimed the veteran statesman. Funeral plans were discussed by Illinois delegation and Mrs Logan, favoring a senate chamber service after Congress reassembles and burial in the congressional cemetery. The latest guidance suggested a Friday service in the senate chamber with remains sent to Chicago, with guards and a broad showing of respect from Loyal Legion and Grand Army units. A memorial debate and public tributes followed as committees consider burial sites and monuments in Chicago and Washington.
