[348] The services at the church, which were very simple, but beautiful, began promptly at 10:30 o'clock. The pall bearers and delegations from Lee and Pickett camps entered by the middle aisle and occupied the seats reserved for them. They were followed by the relatives of General Maury. Rev. William Meade Clarke was the officiating minister. He read the service prepared for such occasions. During the reading of the service, ‘Thy Will Be Done’ was sung by the choir, and ‘My Faith Looks Up to Thee’ as the procession filed out. The remains were carried to the Union depot and left for Fredericksburg over the Richmond, Fredericksburg & Potomac railroad on the noon train. The details from the two veteran camps here accompanied the remains to Fredericksburg.
