Restin San Diego Pays Tribute At Silent Last Rites
San Diego mourns fifty two sailors from the Bennington and forty seven others in a mass burial on a Monterey Bay promontory. Processions moved by improvised wagons up steep roads to a common grave ten miles distant as city officials, Fort Rosecrans troops, naval reserves, and civilians laid flowers upon black caskets draped with the national flag. The solemn ceremony featured no music, a simple preference for quiet tribute as the nation’s dead were interred with reverent prayers and blessings.
