The Death of Thaddeus Kosciuszko

It was a sad day when Thaddeus died. He died in Switzerland on October 15, 1817. He was a great man who died of natural causes. Many thought that Thaddeus Kodciuszko should be buried in his homeland. So on April 11, 1818 his coffin was transported to Saint Florian Church at Kleparz in Cracow. Soon after they had a special funeral to honor the hero. After the ceremony the coffin canting his body was brought to the royal cathedral where he lay among the Batory and Sobieski families.

This post was good... it would have been interesting to see you attempt it as an obituary. It has many good facts and is well written. You clearly proofread your work and tried hard to create completely synthesized posts.
