On Saturday, December 10, the 4th US participated in a burial service for James and Irena Powers at Tahoma National Cemetery. Mr. Powers served with the 12th Michigan Volunteers during the Civil War. Although Mr. & Mrs. Powers died in Seattle in the 1920s, their ashes were not interred until now, in 2016.
