Funeral Sermon Of Capt. Cloutman

Rev. Wm. Salter, of Burlington, delivered a very able and impressive discourse entitled “Death of the Soldier,” being the funeral sermon of our late lamented and honored fellow citizen, Captain Charles C. Cloutman, to a large congregation, on Sunday last, at the Methodist Church.  So highly is this discourse appreciated by those who heard it, that Mr. Salter has complied with a request to furnish a copy for publication, and it will appear in our next edition.  It will also be published in pamphlet form, accompanied with Capt. Coutman’s last letter.  Those desiring copies will please order them. – {Ottumwa Currier.
