Eloquent Address by Rev. HI. e. |
Burnes-A Large Turn Ont of the |
Veterans.
The twenty.third annual reunion of the |
Fifteenth: Regiment Veteran association |
was held in Railroad grove, Sayin Rock,
yesterday, and it was very enjoyable
affair to the $50 members that participated
in it, showing that these reunions do not
diminish in popularity but, that on the
contrary, the days upon which such re-
unions occur are the most eagerly looked
forward to by the old veterans of all days
in the year.
The veterans began to assemble on the
green near the town pump in this city at
an early hour and waited until 10 o'clock
when they embarked upon the horse
cars, bound for Savin Rock. There
was continual round of cracking jokes
and talking over old times, until the grove
was reached. The veterans then formed
into line, two by two, and marched to the
grove palace, where a business meeting was
held. President H. G. Baldwin, after call
ing the meeting to order, called upon Sec
rotary Walter H. Lord for his report.
After action bad been taken upon the sec
retary's report the association Immediately
proceeded to elect officers to serve for the
ensuing year. Solomon sF. Linsley of
North Haven was elected president,
G. F. Bowman of New Haven vice pres
ident, Walter H. Lord secretary and treas
urer, D. Henry Miller of Mystic chaplain,
and George NJ. White, New Haven, histo-
rian. Secretary Lord then read an eulogy
upon the death and burial of Captain Da-
Wis of Company b, also letter from Mrs.
Davis, wife of the deceased comrade, thank
ing the association for their kindness and
sympathy in the time of her bereavement.
The executive committee for the ensuing
year will be composed of James Church,
Oscar P. Ives, John Leonard, Walter H.
Lord and Thomas Sherman.
It was also decided that the next reunion
of the association would be held in New
Haven or vicinity. A vote of thanks was
then rendered to Secretary Lord for the able
manner in which he has discharged his
duties during the past year, and three
rousing cheers given. After dinner the
members were called to order by President
Lindsey, and Captain P. was introduced
and consented to act as master of cere-
monies The retiring chaplain, Henry E.
Burns of Flushing, L. I. formerly of New
Haven), was called ui.on for a speech. He
eloquently, combining his remarks to eulo-
giving those that were killed outright and
those that had died from wounds received
in the late war. His speech was full of
interest, and a splendid effort. Chap
