Burial of a Lady Nurse.
— Here is an incident that has just occurr'd in one of the Hospitals.
A lady named Miss or Mrs. Billings, who has long been a practical friend of soldiers and nurse in
the army, and had become attach'd to it in a way that no one can realize but him or her who has
had experience, was taken sick, early this winter, linger'd some time, and finally died in the
Hospital. It was her request that she should be buried among the soldiers, and after the military
method. This request was fully carried out. Her coffin was carried to the grave by soldiers, with
the usual escort, buried, and a salute fired over the grave. This was at Annapolis a few days
since.
