We bow with submission TO the decree of the AL
enghty i'll taking from country its sublime
patriot and heroic defender, Gen. u. 5. Grant, one
whose brave deeds have been recountcd to by
fathers from early childhood, and to whom
hearts had gone forth in affection because Of
his answering patriotism to country in its sore
need. We feel that another great link of the chain
which binds our generation to that of the past has
been snapped asunder, and would place record
grief AT the event therefore, be il
ReSotUed, That we, iii common with the citizens
of our country, but in a deeper sense, sons of
those who followed and shared the vicisstudes Of
with their noble commander do testify to the
many noble brave and heroic qualities of Gen
Grant, who served his country with that sngeness
OF purpose begot OF pure patriotism and that in
future years viii emulate his many virtues !;
to the revered widow and family of the deceased
General we respectfully tender our heartfelt SYM
pathy, which i'll many cases is intensified by
row of g like nature.
ReSoIred, That we will in memory of the COM
mander OF our fathers, drape our Camp I'm mourn
ing and wear the usual badge of mourning for 60
days
Resolced That these resolutions be placed upon
record and copy sent TO the Commander of
the Division OF Ohio, sons of Veterans.
