(19 Aug 1998) English/Nat
A father and son killed in the U-S Embassy bombing in Kenya now rest side-by-side in Arlington National Cemetery.
Julian Bartley Senior and his son, Jay, were buried on Tuesday following a private memorial in a suburban Maryland church.
A number of ambassadors and Deputy Secretary of State Strobe Talbot attended the ceremonies, along with members of the Bartley family.
Although neither father nor son had served in the military, President Clinton had approved waivers to allow both Bartleys to be buried at Arlington National Cemetery.
Their caskets were draped with American flags.
The guard of honour presented one to the senior Bartley’s widow, Mary Linda Sue Bartley, and the other to his mother, Gladys Baldwin.
Bartley’s 25-year-old daughter, Edith, also attended the ceremony, along with several ambassadors and Deputy Secretary of State Strobe Talbot.
Bartley, 55, had worked in government service for about three decades.
He was stationed in the Dominican Republic, Colombia, Spain, Israel and Korea before his assignment to Kenya nearly two years ago.
He was a native of Jacksonville, Florida.
His son, who was 20, had hoped to follow in his father’s footsteps.
A student at the U-S International University in Kenya, he had a summer job at the embassy.
Another embassy bombing victim was also buried at Arlington on Tuesday.
Indian-born Prabhi Kavaler, who worked for the State Department general services office, was buried in a ceremony closed to the media.
