General VIII. Pierpont is convalescent
after his severe illness in Boston. He had
attended the great q. A. R. encampment
only one day when he was stricken with
typhoid fever and was unable to attend
any more of the exercises. Upon return
ing home he was confined another week.
The general has passed through enough
unpleasant experiences to kill dozen men
and yet he never gives up and is as gritty
as ever. He was wounded in the war and
then nearly killed by his horse
falling and crushing his leg. Once
in camp his tent touched the
tent of yellow fever victim and in a Sold
iers' hospital where he was under treat
ment, smallpox ragged and yet he escaped
both diseases. Since the war he had sew
eral narrow escapes from death in railroad
accidents General Pierpont will leave in
