Note: This is interesting - I had someone else send me this same obit in the same paper but there are a couple of differences - from that John may have been 89 vs. 83.
past 3 days = three is written out
Instead of The Funeral services it just says services in the other rendition
Toward end Union Army army is not capped in the other one
Basically it says the exact same thing but oddly a little diff especially the age
