The survivors of the 9th III. held their second
annual Reunion at Quincy on Oct. 8, 10 and

elected the old officers and created the office of
Second Vice President, eleeting Col. J. r. Mills
to that position. It also elected an Assistant
Secretary from each company. The meeting
of the association was a great success. The
falling of the grand stand that had been
erected by the people of Quincy to witness the
fireworks on the night of the 10Th created
sorrow in our hearts when we learned that Or.

idan's Division Surgeon, was among the wound
ed. and when the society adjourned it was not
known whether his injuries were fatal OF not.
