James Cook who was with S[?] a number of years was buried today. He was one of the assistant engineers of the Fire Department and the Firemen buried him. I heard the band playing solem music as they went to the grave this summer day and now they are returning playing light and joyous music. He leaves a wife and seven children. There is something inexpressibly touching in this music wailing over the dead in this mid summer day.
