Finnigan buried with military rites. The photograph shows one of the sad scenes at the funeral of Aloysius Smith Neff Finnigan, buried with military honors at Fort Myer, Virginia Finnegan, in case you don't know who he was, was mascot of the guardhouse at Fort Myer. He left a colonel's home six years ago to live with the unwilling guests of the guardhouse and every morning since then the little Aberdeen terrier rode the ash wagon as it made the rounds. Thus, it was fitting that the ash wagon served as his caisson. Reaching the grave, the regiment band played a funeral dirge, a fitting funeral oration was read, a squad fired three salutes, taps were sounded, and with the muffled roll of drums his friends marched back to the guardhouse. Even his canine friends were there to pay their silent tribute. One of them, Barnacle Billm is shown sitting atop the mound of dirt from the grave as the casket is being borne forward
