The remains were borne to the cemetery on a caisson, beside which rode eight stalwart bodybearers. The late General's horse, with stirrups thrown across the vacant saddle, was in the procession. Death notice in the Trenton (NJ) Times (an example of notices that appeared in newspapers around the US):FUNERAL OF GENERAL STANLEY.Body Buried Where He Once Governedthe Soldiers' Home.By Publishers Press Direct Wire.Washington, March 18. Funeral services over the body of the late Major General David S. Stanley were held yesterday, interment following in the cemetery at the National Soldiers' Home, beside that of his wife, the dead officer having been at one time governor of the home. A military escort of a band and battery of engineers, two troops of cavalry and one field battalion made up the cortage, and at the home the old soldiers were drawn up in review. A major general salute, and a volley by the cavalry were fired at the grave, over which taps were sounded by a trumpeter.

He commanded the Yellowstone Expedition of 1873, successfully conducting his troops through several unmapped areas, and his favorable reports on the country led to subsequent settlement of the region. In 1879, Stanley and his regiment were reassigned to Texas to suppress Indian raids in the western portion of the state. He was ordered to Santa Fe, New Mexico, in 1882, and placed in command of the District of New Mexico. In March 1884, he was appointed a brigadier general in the regular army, and assigned command of the Department of Texas. He retired in 1892. At his retirement Stanley was the fourth highest ranking General in the United States Army.	STANLEY, General David Sloane (I501626)
24855	Civil War Union Army Officer. Commissioned as 1st Lieutenant of Company E, 2nd New Jersey Militia on May 1, 1861, he was promoted to Captain and commander of the unit on July 7, 1861 when his first cousin, Captain John J. Van Buskirk, was promoted to Major. He was present with his regiment during the First Battle of Bull Run (July 21, 1861), where it was held in reserve, and was mustered out of the militia on July 31, 1861. His experience as a militia officer helped over a year later, when he was commissioned Major of the 21st New Jersey Volunteer Infantry on September 6, 1861. He fought with the regiment at the Battles of Fredericksburg and Chancellorsville. On May 4, 1863 at Chancellorsville, he assumed command of the 21st New Jersey when its Colonel, Gilliam Van Houten, received a mortal leg wound, and its Lieutenant Colonel, Isaac Mettler, was absent. He rallied his broken regiment and led it in a fighting withdraw, which lasted until the fighting ended late in the day. Major Van Buskirk's command lost 211 casualties in the Battle. He was mustered out with the survivors of his regiment on June 19, 1863. Originally interred in the family plot in Bayonne, New Jersey's Constable Hook Cemetery, in 1899 he was re-interred in Staten Island's Moravian Cemetery.	VAN BUSKIRK, Hiram (I504675)
24856	Civil War Union Brevet Brigadier General. In support of the Union he enlisted in the Grand Army of the Potomac and was appointed a Lieutenant Colonel in the 4th Regiment Michigan Volunteer Infantry, June 1861. With the 4th Michigan in 1862, he led his troops in engagements at the Peninsula Campaign, the Battles of Malvern Hill, Antietam, and Fredericksburg, Virginia. On July 2, 1863, at the Battle of Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, he was mortally wounded securing the "Wheatfield" after being pushed to the limit by the Confederate onslaught. For his distinguished service and merit he was brevetted Brigadier General of U.S. Volunteers on March 13, 1865. Never fully recovering from his injuries he died at age 37.

24860	Clayton's two wives, Helen and Elsie, were sisters. Clayton lost his right hand in a farming accident (his fingers were pulled into a corncutter).	KEPLER, Clayton (I518963)
24861	Co-founder of the Buckeye Mower and Reaper Works, in Akron (later to become International Harvester) and other businesses in Ohio; started the town of Buchtel, Ohio (housing for workers at a newly built Akron Iron Company blast furnace); was the primary benefactor of Buchtel College, which became the University of Akron. With all his accomplishments, it's hard to believe that John had almost no schooling and could scarcely write his name when he grew to maturity. He was President of the Board of Trustees of Buchtel College from its beginnings in 1870 until his death in 1892. For the last five years of his life John was a helpless paralytic. Summit County, Ohio probate court death record shows John's date of death as March 17, 1893. Newspaper obituaries reported his death date as May 23, 1892. Since newspapers around the world reported his death almost a year before his official death date, it appears that the court records are seriously flawed. In addition, his will was probated on May 27, 1892. Abstract of John Richards Buchtel's will: Dated 28 February 1887, probated 27 May 1892. Wife Elizabeth Buchtel, Buchtel College. Executors Albert B Tinker and his successors. Witnesses Watson E Slabaugh and Charles R Olin.	BUCHTEL, John Richards (I516043)
24862	Conrad's entry in DAR family history states, "Conrod (sic) Peterson (1759-1847) received a pension for service as Private in the Virginia troops under Col. Henry Lee, and in the Navy on the ships "Hyder Alle" and "Washington" under Captain Barney. He was born in New Jersey; died in Knox County, Ohio."	PETERSON, Conrad Pittinger (I500549)
24863	Cora Tritt DeWalt's obituary stated that she was survived by daughter Marion Taylor, but the obituary for her husband, Edward Phillip DeWalt (who died before Cora), did not mention a daughter. Marian Taylor signed Cora's death certificate as informant. This daughter was actually Marian Tracy, born on October 22, 1906 to Arthur Tracy and Bessie Sherboudy, in Akron, Ohio (I have a copy of her birth record). She is listed in the 1910 census, along with her father, as living with Ira and Emma Williams (Arthur as a brother-in-law and Marian as a niece). She is, however, listed in the 1920 census as a 13 year-old boarder living with Cora and Edward (her father is not listed in that census record). Marian Tracy married Judson Taylor in 1922. She died on July 17, 1981, in Akron, Ohi	TRITT, Cora Warner (I521976)

In 2004, at the80th birthday party of the society, he was the only member to be in both the 1940 and 2004 group pictures. While he was allergic to dogs, that allergy did not stop him from having many as pets duringhis married years. However, he also seemed to keep a diverse collection of reptiles, amphibians, birds of prey, and arachnids, including rattlesnakes in the kitchen and numerous specimens in the refrigerator. At one time, while living in suburban Nashville, he actually kept a pet wolf. He spent many years as a biologist with the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency.	YAMBERT, Dale William Jr. (I504200)

24872	David Henney served in the US Civil War - all of his records list him as David Henney alias David Johnson. He joined the US Union Army on August 2, 1862 in Plymouth, Marshall County, Indiana, in the 73rd Indiana Infantry, and mustered out on Septemper 1, 1863 in Indianapolis, and then re-enlisted. He served until September 21, 1868 (mustered out in Idaho) for a total of 73 months, serving as amusician. He is shown in the 1870 and 1880 US census records with wife Hannah and two step-daughters. In the 1900 census he is listed as a widowed boarder. The 1910 census has him at the soldiers home in Washington, Tennessee. He seems to have been in various different soldier homes, based on available records. When he died, he was at the soldiers home in Danville, Illinois. In one record his disablity is listed as "disabled on account of old age, diarrhea, heart disease, 135 pound weight, paralysis, agitation, senility" and other ailments.	HENNEY, David (I531648)

24877	Death article in the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette, Northwest Edition (AR), Saturday, August 20, 2005: In a 30-minute drive from Little Rock National Airport, Adams Field, to a Conway funeral home earlier this week, J.T. Scott spoke to his deceased mother about the beauty of the day and his gratitude that her suffering was over. Pamela Lowrey, a former nurse with terminal cancer, knew she was about to die and wanted to spend her last hours in the company of her son and his family. She lived just long enough to hear Scott tell her one last time that he loved her. After her plane arrived on Wednesday, Metropolitan Emergency Medical Services personnel placed the frail, 53-year-old Cambria, Calif., woman into her son's silver 2004 Mercury Marquis, snapped a seat belt around her and then noticed that she had died. Scott said one of the paramedics asked him if he wanted the Pulaski County coroner notified. "I told them, 'If it doesn't make any difference to you, I can take her myself,'" Scott said of driving to Conway. "They asked me if I felt like I could do that without any problems. I was actually kind of collected and together enough to drive her from the airport. "It was, of course, emotional," he said. "But really it was a chance for me to spend a little bit of time with her." In an e-mail to the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette, Scott, who had visited his mother recently in California, further described his journey with his mother's body to Conway. He explained his decision to make the drive himself, saying that if the authorities at the airport had insisted he stay and the coroner be notified, he would have. "I just felt it would be nice to drive her myself, that's all," he wrote. "I felt a mixture of emotions on the drive, and it was a little eerie knowing she was dead, but I still talked to her about the weather and the rain and how beautiful a day it was ... how I was sorry she didn't make it long enough to see the rest of the family, but that I knew she was ina better place, and at peace, and in no pain." Scott took his mother to the Roller-McNutt Funeral Home, where employees called 911 and the Faulkner County coroner's office. "In 17 years I've never seen that before," Faulkner County Coroner Patrick Moore said, referring to a body being taken to a funeral home by a family member. "The coroner's office down there [in Pulaski County] should have been notified." Pulaski County Coroner Mark Malcolm said he was concerned that his office wasn't immediately told about the death. "The foremost issue is how was a deceased person allowed to leave a death scene, which in this case ended up being the Little Rock airport, without the coroner being notified," Malcolm said. Jon Swanson, executive director of MEMS, said his paramedics followed policy. He said that once the family refused medical care, the crew acted out of compassion in assisting the woman into her son's car. "The crew was really doing their best to try to support and help in a really difficult situation - to do a good thing for the family," he said. The incident was the second involving a death at the airport this year. In May, a 74-year-old airline passenger was pronounced dead after her flight arrived. Authorities said the woman, Bettye Bailey of Beebe, apparently died before the aircraft reached the airport. Airport officials say airlines are supposed to notify them and call 911 whenever the airlines have a medical emergency. Airport officials are notified to ensure that medical personnel can have easy access to passengers with medical difficulties, they said. Scott said his mother, who suffered from terminal cancer of the throat and esophagus, wouldn't have wanted the last moments of her life to be spent in a hospital or hospice. "She didn't want any conventional treatments for her cancer," he said. "She was on her last legs." Nancy Conley of North Little Rock, a friend of Lowrey's who flew to California to accompany the dying woman home to see her son, described the flight as a race against time. "I wasn't sure they were going to let her on the plane in San Jose because she was so fragile," Conley said. Lowrey, unable to talk because of her throat cancer, communicated with Conley by writing notes. The pair switched planes in Denver to begin the last leg of the trip home. "Just the other side of Oklahoma City she told me that she needed oxygen," Conley said. "The flight crew got her hooked up with oxygen, and there was a Navy corpsman named Keith, who was on leave from either Afghanistan or Iraq, who also helped take care of Pam. "He was on his way home, too," she said, adding she didn't get his last name. The flight's captain thought he should divert the plane to Oklahoma City so Lowrey could receive immediate medical attention, Conley said. "I told him that was not what she wanted and that she was trying to get home to her son before she died," Conley recalled. "All this time, whenever she heard the word hospital, she was just squeezing myhand so hard." By the time the plane landed in Little Rock, a 911 call from the airline had brought MEMS paramedics, Little Rock firefighters and Little Rock police officers to the concourse. Once again, Conley explained that Lowrey wanted no measures taken to prolong her life. Scott and Conley said Lowrey knew that arrangements for hospice care in Arkansas were not necessary. "When asked about these things, my mother would just smile, as if she knew there would be no need," he wrote. Scott said his mother's experience as an intensive-care nurse persuaded her not to have extraordinary action taken to extend her life. "She felt that as good as the conventional health-care system was that it had so many flaws, and she so strongly believed in the power of faith healing that she just felt that a combination of the two would be ideal," Scott said. "That was one of the things that helped her come to the decision that she never wanted to have any kind of life support or be in a position where she was terminally hospitalized and had no quality of life because she saw so many people there that were like that. "She was a very spiritual person, a member of the Unitarian church, and she strongly believed in everything that she did," he said. "She lived in beautiful places and stayed with a lot of friends." He said his mother, a registered nurse who used to work at Baptist Medical Center for several years and the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences Medical Center, moved to California five years ago and was trying to set up a holistic health center in that state. She was diagnosed with cancer about two years ago. Conley said Lowrey's last journey was a testament to her strong will and her desire to see her son, his wife and her 2-year old grandson again. Scott plans to travel to California to scatter his mother's ashes, as she wished, on a piece of land near San Simeon that she loved. He said he will be eternally thankful that he had a final opportunity to be with her. "I talked to her just for a minute, and I told her I loved her," Scott said. "That's the last thing I ever said to her."	WILE, Pamela Ann (I529985)
24878	Death article published in the St. Petersburg Times (FL), Thursday, June 2, 2011: Less than two years ago, Milton "Al" Galbraith, Clearwater's former city attorney, was diagnosed with lymphoma after his left ankle mysteriously swelled to the size of a softball. Mr. Galbraith, 67, who spent the last decade as assistant attorney for St. Petersburg, lost his battle with cancer on Tuesday. He was surrounded by family at his Clearwater home. "He was a real optimist throughout his struggle with cancer," said his wife, Conni, 64. Colleagues described Mr. Galbraith as a consummate professional. "He was extremely good at what he did," said Mark Winn, St. Petersburg chief assistant city attorney. "He loved municipal law. He understood it very well." Clearwater attorney Ed Armstrong recalled Mr. Galbraith's professional demeanor and refreshing dry wit. "He really served the city well when he was here," he said. Mr. Galbraith was also committed to his community, said Lucile Casey, president ofthe Del Oro Groves Estates Association. She said Mr. Galbraith took over the neighborhood watch and implemented new technologies. "He was definitely the leader in helping us to keep the Del Oro neighborhood safe," said Casey, whose husband is Mr. Galbraith's first cousin. Mr. Galbraith was passionate about history and active in the Clearwater Historical Society, convincing the group to use Facebook to network, said society president Mike Sanders. "He was just a fine gentleman and did so much for the city of Clearwater," Sanders said. "He was encouraging us to keep current with our heritage and our history." Mr. Galbraith was born in Corbin, Ky., and his family came here in 1951. A Clearwater High School graduate, he returned to town in 1985 from Boca Raton, where he landed his first municipal attorney position. Mr. Galbraith served as the city attorney for Clearwater for nearly nine years. He resigned in 1994 after he ran into friction with three Clearwater city commissioners and was demoted to senior assistant city attorney. Former Clearwater Mayor Rita Garvey, who supported Mr. Galbraith at the time, trusted his advice. "I felt comfortable because I knew he'd give me an honest answer," Garvey said Wednesday. After he left Clearwater, he served as a municipal attorney for Lake Worth for a few years before joining St. Petersburg's legal team. For years Mr. Galbraith drove beat-up Chevys. But a month before Mr. Galbraith was diagnosed with cancer, he bought himself a 2003 pewter Chevy Corvette on a whim, Conni said. "I'm so glad he did something so out of character for him," she said. "That brought him a lot of joy."	GALBRAITH, Milton Alvin Jr. (I530614)
