parative strangers here, arrangements
were not as we'll made as they might
have been and a small audience was
the result. Rev. Mr.. Carter delivered
very fine address on thankfulness.

sarilY thankfulness, but thankfulness
and contentment was happiness.

in the call for three-months' troops in
the 10th Illinois, served his time, came
back to Platteville and enlisted in the

wife and two children to mourn his
loss.
