Grim, George - 1881

The Republican Invincibles.--
We are under obligations to Mr. George Grim, of Philadelphia, for a tastefully bound copy of the report of the committee appointed by the club known as Republican Invincibles to make arrangements for the participation of the Club in the funeral obsequies of the late President, at Cleveland.  As the Lititz Band accompanied the Invincibles to the inauguration, it will be a matter of interest for them to know that the city Club also attended the funeral with fifty men - being the only organization of any kind from Philadelphia in attendance at that time.  The Club were assigned the very honorable position of the extreme left, being immediately in front of the funeral cortege.
