He had served three years in the Twenty-second Infantry and while in the southern country contracted fever. Six weeks ago he was discharged and came home in a weak and debilitated condition from which it was impossible to rally. Besides his parents, he is survived by four brothers--John, George and James at home, William, a resident of Bloomingburgh, and Mrs. John Van Leuven of Goshen. The funeral was held from the home of his parents this afternoon at 2 o'clock.
