q q IN IL
er's report: THE Department of Ohio. Woman's
Relief Corps, Is the pride of US all As we looked
ing the days of active service, for the blessings
which made us men in the presence of danger, SO
now we turn to the loyal women of our State for
blessings still. By their aid and always cheerful
cooperation in every good work, Post halls have
been frightened, the membership strengthened in
the essentials of manhood, and the organization, in
its highest interests, ennObed.'
Here is an extract calling forth the second resolu-
tion, as above, concerning the Orphans Home:
" The people of Ohio are to be congratulated upon
the high character and intelligent humane manage
ment of this the grandest charity within the bor-
ders of the Commonwealth. Originally founded
by the Grand Army, it has come to be the pride OF
every citizen acquainted with its splendid social
and educational advantages. The Home is made
quate to the demands made upon its officers for ad-
mission, and it should be enlarged Immediately.
Two hundred and fifty soldiers orphans now
inmates of County infirmaries, admitted in express
violation of law. BY resolution of the 10Th an
nual Encampment the General Assembly was me-
moriaized to enact statute making it the duty OF
the Governor to appoint five ladies n Board OF
Visitors to this Home. A bill presented by Comrade
w. s. Matthews, to carry into effect this request,
became law and the board was appointed. The
loyal women named by the Governor have been
most devoted and earnest instituting many reforms
and aiding the Board of Trustees in the discharge
of their duties A memorial issued by these two
boards and addressed to the Governor and men,
bers of the General Assembly directs attention to
the pressing need for the enlargement of the Home.
1t will be presented to this body for its information
and such action as it may decide proper under the
circumstances
To emphasize the above were the cordial and
earnest expressions of the comrades in and out of
the Encampment, whenever they were called upon
to speak. The splendid tributes of Department
Commander Brown and Commander-in- Chief Bur-
dett. supplemented, "a they were Mt the Music Hall
Campfire by Corporal Tanner and ex-President
Hayes, were worthy the comrades of the great
State of Ohio and fully deserved by the loyal
women enlisted in their aid.
