FUNERAL OF THE BRAVE FIREMEN.

1865 September 2

— The funeral of Foreman Walter J. Bohen and Jas. H. Washington, of Monumental Engine Company, No. 6, took place yesterday afternoon, and was attended by an immense number of the firemen of San Francisco and the friends of the deceased. Funeral services were performed fur the former at Calvary Church, and for the latter at Grace Church. At half past two o'clock, the solemn tolling of the muffled bell of the Monumentals gave the signal for the forming of the procession, and the remains of two as true hearted and gallant firemen as ever died at the post of duty were borne from the building, which was draped with the emblems of mourning from ground to roof, by the hands of their late companions, and reverently deposited in the hearses. The coffins were magnificently decorated with flowers, and the fire hats and badges of the deceased lay upon the lid of each. The hearses, attended by their respective pall bearers, moved abreast, and were followed by the carriages containing the chief mourners. Then followed the Monumental in a body, marching four abreast, and representatives from the other companies in the Department in the same order, the whole reaching three blocks as they passed along Montgomery street, and following them came over forty carriages filled with friends of the deceased. The spectacle was a deeply impressive one, and was viewed with solemn interest by a vast throne of people who lined the sidewalks as the mournful procession moved along the streets on its way to " God's fallow field," at Lone Mountain. The funeral was one of the largest ever seen in San Francisco.
