T. S. Seymour writes privately
from Hudson, Wisconsin, Concerning
the burial of Ira Foster as follows:
We arrived here with the body on
Monday noon, and held funeral services
in the home of his aunt at three
o'clock p. m., and laid the dear boy
to rest beside his mother. His coffin
was covered with flowers contributed
by kind ladies of Austin, Texas, and
others nearer his old home. His old
old army comrades and others of the
Howard A. Clapp Post here, with
numerous friends, followed his body
to the grave.
Mr. Seymour writes that Mrs. Foster
and the baby girl are at present
with relatives in St. Paul, but will
shortly go to her parents in Duluth,
for awhile, at least. The return of
the Seymour’s is delayed by Mrs S's.
ill health. We shall be glad to see
all these friends with us again,though
alas! one who went away will come
again no more.
