"Last Monday the remains of the brave General Warren were interred at Boston. Col. Phinney's regiment marched first, with drums and fifes in mourning; then the Free Masons, the remains, the relations, friends, and town's people. They repaired to the King's chapel. Dr. Cooper prayed. Mr. Morton delivered a funeral oration, closed with a solemn funeral dirge.—The General's remains were known by two artificial teeth fastened in with gold wire, and by being found under the remains of a person buried in trowsers, agreeable to the account given by one who was well acquainted with that circumstance."
