Hundreds o old friends crowded the German Methodist Church Sunday afternoon at the funeral of Capt Adam Bax. Sixty G.A.R. men, of which organization Captain Bax was a member were seated near the coffin in a body and held exercises at the grave. The casket was laden high with flowers.
How Captain Bax had survived misfortunes, after he had come from Germany in his early youth, and had suffered the loss by fire of his home and his shop, was related by Rev M Herman, who gave the main address.
Rev Mr Herman told how his dying thought was of his wife, who herself, though dangerously ill, went to his bedside at the parting. He touched upon his career as a soldier, how he answered President Lincoln's call for volunteers and fought through the four years.
