A firing squad from Company I of Wahpeton fired a volley in final salute to one of the veterans of the Civil War, when he was laid to rest Friday afternoon at Fairview cemetery. Jeremiah Raney, who formerly lived south of Breckenridge, died at his home in Hopkins, Minn., Monday. He was active and working up to the day before his death, which was unexpected and came instantly. In Hopkins he was “Dad” Raney to all who knew him. The body was brought to Wahpeton for burial beside his first wife in Fairview cemetery. Members of Company I acted as pall bearers and fired a volley as the casket was lowered into the grave, while the bugler played “Taps.” Deceased was eighty-three years of age.
