On the 11th of November, 1890, General Crook's body was transferred to
Arlington Cemetery, Virginia, opposite Washington, those present being
Major-General Schofield, commanding the army, and his aide, Lieutenant
Andrews, Colonel H. C. Corbin, Lieutenant Kennon, Colonel T. H. Stanton,
Captain John G. Bourke, Mr. Webb C. Hayes, and Mr. George H. Harries.
The escort consisted of two companies of cavalry, commanded by Major
Carpenter, Captain George S. Anderson, Captain Parker, and Lieutenant
Baird.
