TAPS HAVE SOUNDED
John F Foote Has Joined the "Silent Army of the Dead"
Death has again laid his hands on the little band of patriots which compose the G.A.R. of this city. Another veteran of the Civil War has passed into the great beyond and his body now lies "where glory guards with solemn round the bivouac of the dead."
John F. foote, after a long illness, on Tuesday evening gave up the struggle just at a time when his friends believed that his health was much inproved and that he would probably live for many months yet.
Death came suddenly. On Tuesday afternoon he was feeling ususually well and walked about quite a little, enjoying the warm sunshine. In the evening he took a sudden turn for the worse, and although Dr. Maghee was soon at his side, nothing could be done to stay the band of the destroyer.
Deceased was one of the earliest settlers in Rawlins and was father of the first white child born in this city. Mr Foote was born in Indiana in 1840, and when a child, moved to Wisconsin with his parents, where he resided until the breaking out of the Civil War, when he enlisted and went to the front with the first regiment of Wisconsin artillery and participated in the disastrous battle of Bull Run.
In 1864 he was married in Janesville, Wis., and four years later came to Rawlins, where he has since resided, having engaged in various business enterprises during his lengthy residence in this city. he leaves to mourn for him a wife and a married daughter, Miss May Baldwin of Denver.
The funeral took place Thursday afternoon from the residence, under the auspices of the G.A.R. and W.R.C., and was largely attended, Rev. E.J. Statom delivering an eloquent sermon.
The casket was draped in the national colors and was covered with the floral offerings of friends and comrades.
The pallbearers were I.C. Miller, R.A. Smiley, W.R. Brown, Wm Jungquist, Robert Wilson and Wm Daley, while the members of the G.A.R. marched behind the hearse as a guard of honor.
