they reached North Elba and it was after night
when they approached the house to which they
were destined. As they drew nigh .hey saw NOV.
ing lights, which, their nearer approach, prov

Quoted in silence to the house. Not q word was

son at home, an intelligent looking and handsome
man Of %, tall stout, with rich auburn hair, and
full and becoming beard then there was Ruth
Thompson, the eldest daughter, a child of John

of time must necessarily take place. he added that
Col. Barber had given his assurance that all the
bodies should be dsinterred and reburied with
becoming decency and then passed on to other
topics. He told them as much as he could recall
Of what had been related to him of their father
