George W. Horner
In Cambridge, of chronic diarrhea, May 13th, George W. Horner, aged 33 years.
For many a long month, did George faithfully serve his country in the late war. In that service he contracted the disease of which he died.
He was not only a faithful soldier in the army, but was a good soldier of the Cross, and died on his part in the triumphs of faith.
