In Wooster last Saturday citizens gathered to honor Ulysses S. Grant as his body lay in state in Riverside Park New York. A day of mourning featured a 38 gun salute at daylight on the University campus and a continuous volley of cannon fire through the day and night. The procession formed at the square with the Arion Band and local officials marching to the High School for a memorial program led by Rev. R A Gilfillan. Speakers included M C Rouch Judge Martin Welker and Hon A S McClure praising Grant as soldier statesman and model citizen.
