the earliest practicable timc
On a hill about a mile or3.

they would rest under tbs h,
the monument erected to conn

As individual enterpri.a a, d,

take the matter in hand. Tbsg
necessary to be incurred woull
and the duty iutrusted to cool

who fell at MuntOrdyillc were In
vice of the State, and hv their ~.
and unselfsh devotion 20 the al
which the State had pledged Ia
honor, reflected new and endurin,i
upon its name. 1t is asking N
now, in comparison 10 the sacri6gI
made, that the State perform
service to their memories.
