The National tribune., 1883-10-11
soldiers, reunion at MePbersop. Kan.

The Reunion of old veterans at Mcpherson,
Kan, on the 18th inst. presented the pleasing
spectacle of four hundred old veterans in line,
keeping time to martial music The Reunion
was held under the auspices of j. B. Mcpherson
Post of that city, and Silas Miller Post, of Can
ton, and nothing was left undone that tended
to make the affair the success which it was.
There were seven companies, organized as fol-
lows: Company A, G. w. Freelove, captain !;
company B, Fred Jackson, captain; company
G, J.W. Hill, captain; company d, Benz Evans,
captain; company E, w. o. Gray, captain !;
company T, A. Bunyan, captain; company q,
A. S. Eastliek, captain. The companies were
divided into two divisions with NJ. p Simpson,
commander-in-c chief; j. f. Hughes, adjutant of
the First DIVISION and M. l.. Drake commanders
in-chief; John O. Hall, adjutant of the Second
division. The boys were q little rusty, and at
first made some laughable mistakes, but it was
easy to tell they had all once been there. After
marching and drilling for awhile, they partOok
heartily of sumptuous dinner, and then
listened to speeches by Capt. j. B. Johnson and
Hon. S. r. Peters. After the speeches there was
an interesting sham battle. NJ. P. Simpson, with
his troops, represented the Union army and NJ.
L. Drake, with the Second division represented
the other side. 1t was hard fought battle and
some heavy firing was INDUCED, reminding one
very much of war times. The contest was long
and fierce, and as both sides were determined
not to be vanquished they ceased firing and
concluded to quit even. In the even the boys
who wore the blue, together with their wives
and children, assembled in the opera house,
where they held regular old-fashioned ex-
perience meeting, recounting the scenes of over
twenty years ago.
The National tribune., 1883-10-11

we steam up the old river and pass Savannah,
we will miss the magnificent feet of vessels
once proudly anchored near shore, but instead
we will be greeted by gallant band of old
heroes now formed into G. A. r. Post at that
place. And then, as we steam up the river and
pass the island above Crump's, we will behold
the stars and stripes floating from the bluff, once
alive with Union soldiers and now the resting
place of so many gallant dead. A comrade
from Waterloo, Iowa, thus beautifully writes
to Comrade Kuhl, and / can do no better than
repeat his words: What terrible host of re-
fections and memories the sight of the old
camps and battlefield will call up in our
minds. Oh how the heart viii swell, how
the throat will feel filled, the breast heave, and
the whole being quiver with the burden of
overpowering emotion that the sight and the
occasion will give rise to. ] want to wander
over the old place once more and ponder over
the past" l am glad these Reunions and ex-
cursions to old battlefelds are becoming the
rage all over the country. The occasions are
calculated to imbed within our memory the
most beautiful and pleasant recollections of our
lives. If, as will be the case at Shiloh, the old
Confederate veterans will meet us and shake
hands over the graves of both our dead, the
occasions viii be doubly precious. d. B. s.,

Reunion at Vest lebanon, Ind.

The Reunion at West Lebanon, Ind, which
began on the 18th ult., and continued three
days, was an emiQently successful one. The
hospitality of the people at West Lebanon was
unbounded, and the treatment of the old vets
everything that heart could wish, and their
enjoyment all that they re capable of. The
people of West Lebanon never do anything by
halves. Immense tables groaned under loads
Of fruit vegetables, beef, pigs, and chickens,
presided over by the fairest ladies Of the coun-
try, to which the soldiers sat down morning,
noon, and night for three days, and ate the
finest bread, Widespread with golden Jersey
butter, and drank the best coffee. On the 18th
a grand public reception speech was given the
soldiers, and response made by one of the old
veterans, after which all of the regiments pres
ent who have had regular organizations for
Reunions went into annual elections and after
the elections in the various regiments the ex-
ecutiye committee of the Fifteenth, Seventy
second, Eighty-sixth, One Hundred and Six
teenth, One Hundred and Fiftieth, and others,
held a joint meeting to discuss the time and
place Of holding the Reunion next year. Itwas
the unanimous verdict of all present that there
should be but one Reunion in each year for the
old eighth Congressional district as it existed
during the war, and that Frankfort, Clinton
county, Ind should be the place, and that 18th
10Th, and goth Of September the time
The Campfire of the Seventy second, held on
the night of the 18th, was most enjoyable
affair to all who participated.
