Resolutions in memory of the brave and gal
liant Corporal, Brainard E. Walker, Is, Yer
mont Cavalry. Go |, who was killed in action
at Kelley Ford on the Rappahannock, Va,
Aug. 81, 1862.
Whereas, at the beginning of 1861 rebellion
OF formidable proportions menaced the security,
and threatened the future welfare, prosperity
and very existence of our much beloved country
with destruction and the Executive of our ma
ton called its loyal, patriotic sons to her sup
port and defence, aud as among those brave
hearted volun teers, who at an early hour of our
national difficulties rallied around the old flag
did appear Branard E. Walker, of Hard
wick, Caledonia County, VT. and that as in a
late btttle with the enemy he did fall WITHIN
to the mortality of war. pierced through the
brain with bullet, sped from the gun of con-
cealed foe while fighting foremost in the ranks
of his company.
Therefore, be II resolred by the members of
Co. |, LIST Vt. Cavalry, the valiant Corporal's
companions in arms, that while we deeply de-
plore The loss of so brave member from GU:
company, we yet have this consolation, that he
sold his life at dear expense to the enemy, and
not until he had done all he could do for his
distracted country in It's hour of peril;
Therefore, be ii further reSoiaed that bis
conduct in the late action. not only augments
the glory of his previous behavior, but would
reflect the highest honor upon the reputation Of
any soldier ; and that we much more admire
she conduct which has always characterize the
actions of the brave Corporal in tie hour of
danger, though 1T costs a man his life, than the
department of poltroon, faint heart or those
who love position distant from danger.
Furthermore, be il rssolved = that nasmucn
aS the (ornnral in rho all
duties was as faithful and punctual, as he was
bold and fearless in the face of the enemy that
he possessed the requisites OF true soldier, and
regarding him as such, we would now cultivate
due respect for the dead
BE still further rescloed that his example
is worthy the emulation of every soldier in the
Union army,
Moreover, be II resolrcd: that we sympathize
deeply with that circt2 OF mourning friends, who
now lament ms heroic death yet while we con.
dole with them as they mourn his loss, we
congratulate them that they too, had lrienl
who has offered up his lie in SO noble anC
worthy cause May his mourning family bt
comtorted by consolation from on high, AND
mourn not as those who have no hope;
In conclusion. be IL resolved that copy o
