Saw Her Sons Spirit

There lived in Allegheny City at the
breaking out of the rebellion a widow by
the name of Mcdowell. She had one son,
John by name, who lived with his mother
in two story frame house on Robinson
street The widow and her son were de-
votedly attached to each other, and when
he came home one night and told her that
he had enlisted at one of the recruiting
booths on Federal street she was inconsoI-
able
On the afternoon Of April 6, 1862, Mrs.
Mcdowell sat in an easy chair at the sec
ond story window of her home. 1t was
the first day she had felt strong enough to
leave her bed. 1t was warm and the sun
was shining brightly. As she sat alone
with her wan cheek resting against the
pillows, she heard heavy step on the mar
row stairway. She described the succeed
ing events to the first neighbor woman
who reached her side as follows: THE in

and meet him, but l was too faint, and be-

He stopped in the middle Of the room
and l saw under his cap, which was pulled
back, a broad bandage stained with blood
around his forehead. Suddenly be waved
his sword and | saw an awful look, such as

looking backward over his shoulders as he

but 1t made no noise on the floor; he
reached both hands to me, and the fierce
expression died out of his eyes as he cried
out, Oh, mother and then before l could

\ week from that day the widow Mac
Dowell was buried in the Hilldgle ceme-
terry. On the afternoon OF April s. the day
when the apparition of her boy appeared
to her in the sick room, he was killed while
repulsing Confederate charge at Pitts
burg Landing. He was struck by spent
ball upon the forehead early IN the day, but

he remained in the fight All the officers
in his company had been killed or wound

he fell was the pathetic cry, "Oh, mother
