Military Institute. Mrs. Lyne attended his funeral services where he lay in state at the Va. Capitol. She was one of the little brand of Confederate ladies who met in the Presbyterian Church in the Capitol of the Confederacy, to organize Memorial Day - when Va. was Military District, No.1. - when no Southerners could form a procession and ride in the carriages by Federal Law - yet they went on foot.
