Orleans County monitor. [volume] (Barton, Vt.) 1872-1953, 1894-10-22

regiment at Belle Plain Landing,
! May II, 1864 when the rain not only
came down in streams but in sheets.
Had seen the regiment in their first
battle and felt bad to see them stand
up and be shot down rather than lie
down for fear of being laughed at by
the old boys. He gave the company
and regiment fine compliment say
ing there were none better in the
| brigade.
William Williams gave a very in
teresting account of his experience in
the Navy before he joined the 18th,
and his trip with Admiral Farragut
and his gun boats down the Mississippi,
past the forts to New Orleans. Mr..
Williams was probably the only per-
son there who ever belonged to the
navy, and his story was attentively
listened to throughout and was some
thing entirely new in the line of camp
fire stories in this section.
Thomas Marnock proved to be the
clown of the evening and kept the
audience in vein of good humor for
more than half hour as he related
his story of GLOW he got a shirt and
his horse with long ears"
President Mathews several times
brought down the house by some
humorous story orremarks sandwich
ed in in appropriate places.
A vote of thanks was extended to
the visiting comrades for their help;
to Geo. B. Mead Post for use Of hall,
to the Women's Relief Corps for the
excellent dinner and supper provided
at SO reasonable d price and to the
citizens of Barton Landing for the
cordially with which the members Of
the company and their guests were
received. The exercises then closed
by singing by chorus of voices "God
be with you till we meet again."
Many Of the boys were heard to re-
mark at the close, that the day had
been the happiest Of their lives.
Following is a list Of members and
visiting comrades present, with the
company, regiment and present post
