AN ACT to appropriate a sum of money to defray the expenses
of the interment of the bodies of deceased soldiers, sailors
and marines who served in the United States or Confederate
States Army or Navy, between the years 1861-1865.

WHEREAS, The ranks of the men who fought in the service

1861-1865, are fast being depleted and the number of the old
soldiers and sailors passing away is largely increasing; and,

WHEREAS, The burden upon the survivors in providing a

the State of Maryland; provided, the expense of said interment
shall not exceed in any one case more than thirty-five dollars;
and provided, that said expenses shall only be borne by the
State of Maryland in the event that such deceased soldier,
sailor or marine left no estate, and that the death occurred in
