22 Kentucky Volunteer Infantry
Fell in the assault on Vicksburg
Age 22 years
Captain Dan Garrard, who fell in the battle of Vicksburg, was buried yesterday in the Frankfort Cemetery, with the honors of war. A large concourse of sympathizing and afflicted friends followed his remains to their last resting place. Rev. W. B. Moore, of the Christian Church, delivered an eloquent and impressive sermon on the occasion. Captain Garrard was a citizen of this place, and son of Hon. James Garrard, State Treasurer. He was a noble, chivalrous youth, whose bosom throbbed with every noble and generous impulse. He was universally beloved by his acquaintances. He was the idol of his parents. The ranks of the Union army contained no nobler or worthier spirit. But his is gone, with thousands and tens of thousands of others, offered up at the shrine of the fratricidal and unholy war, that marks the history of its progress with dead heroes and broken hearts.
