q pelier, has the following in regard to
g Rev. Isaac Blake of this town: Father
8 Blake was loudly called for at the close
. of the business proceedings. The vete-
ran chaplain of the Eighth was always
great favorite with the boys by reason
M of his age, his sincerity and his earnest
& ness. He enlisted in Derby at the age
8 of fifty-eight in Company B. of this reg.
81 iment. More sklllful in playing a
81 fife than in using a musket. and the reg
b iment being without chaplain, he act
III ed in the double capacity Of ffer and
81 chaplain. He was made chaplain of {
81 colored Louisiana regiment. but early

@ Father Blake was warmly welcomed
81 He lived in recollections of the war ant
81 related how on one occasion when rebe
n shells were coming thick around then
"a he suggested to the commander of on
81 of our batteries that this was case il
81 which he thought it was more blessed
hi to give than to receive The hint wa
n acted upon and the rebel battery wa
81 soon silenced. Brief and feeling re
s. marks were made by General Thoma
IA and others. The former related how b
E first made Father Blake's acquaintanc
81 at Brattleboro and hoped when thi
81 meeting closed it might be with praye
n by the old chaplain and at the clos
81 of very enjoyable reunion the veteran
81 all reverently rose and stood aroun
81 while the venerable man knelt anon
E3 them and prayed for the country the
