Hiram Cronk, the last survivor of the War of 1812, died at the age of
105, at his home in Oneida County, N. Y., May 15, and was given a public
military funeral in New York City, May 18—the Society of the War of 1812
forming a part of the escort. The body lay in state over night at the
City Hall—an honor never before shown to a private soldier—and on May 19
was interred in Cypress Hills Cemetery, Long Island.
