The funeral of John Peter was conducted under Army regulations.

Both the Cavalry and the Infantry took part. It was one of the most sacred and touching funerals that had ever been witnessed by the people at that time. The two Companies seemed to have been rather in the background while the religious ceremony took place. They then stepped forward with drum, pipe and bugle as the Infantry marched to the grave site, half on one side and half on the other. They then all fired blank shots into the empty grave. This was immediately followed by the Cavalry marching by in double formation, quick time, firing their rifles into the grave. This ceremony had never been witnessed in this part of the country. Some of the folks there were praying, some were shouting, a few even fainted.

A grandson of John Peter, George Henry Corn, tells of this. He was there as a child. It was also verified by his older brother Jesse Marion Corn. Both were present and passed on this account.
