M. NJ. Dimmick, Esq., then introduced Lieut.
Schoonover to the assemblage in a neat and appro-
pirate address. He came forward and at the re-
quest of the meeting gave a short but exceeding
ly interesting history of the company and Regi-
ment to which he had been attached.
Without pretending to 60 into the particulars
OF his speech, we would merely say, that on the
breaking out of the war in 1916, they rendered
their services to the Governor of Indiana, and
were accepted On the 18th of July they depart
ed for Mexico, and arrived in Mexico on the 25th,
Here they were occupied for five months in drill
ling, and acquiring the military skill and krowl-
edge which was necessary to make them efficient
soldiers. Shortly before the battle of Buena Wis
ia, they joined the forces Immediately under the
command of Gen. Taylor, and participated in that
memorable contest. Out of the 500 men of the
I'd Ind. Regiment, Ito which he was attached,)
who were engaged on that field, 100 were killed
or wounded. Although his friends and comrades
were falling on every side Lieut.. s. fortunately
escaped unhurt. At the expiration of one year
from the time of their being mustered into the
service, they were discharged and returned to
the United States. Lieut.. S. concluded by offer
ing the following sentiment:
The citizens of Stroudsburg-Their kindness,
generosity and patriotism, furnishes an example
worthy of the noblest spirit of emulation.
