The influential and combative former Maryland Congressman Henry Winter Davis had died of pneumonia on December 30, 1865 at his home in Baltimore, at the early age of 48. His funeral and burial at the Green Mount Cemetery in Baltimore was remarkably well attended, with state officials, U.S. Congressmen and Senators from several states. Among the pall-bearers were Secretary of War Stanton and U.S. Chief Justice Chase. (By John Osborne)
