remember the day my father left his
pillow and came To the house To say he
felt as though he too must join COM
pany that was nearly complete, and
would soon leave home tor camp, we
knew not where. saying he felt he
could not withstand the call of dut,
any longer And when | think how
bravely that little woman did as so
many others did took the care of the
farm, as ! have mentioned, upon her
slender shoulders. bidding him 90 if it
must be so. do not wonder that so
many men were brave, daring soldiers
with such wives and mothers TO write
such letters as she wrote To him; and
yet, often, when she thought me asleep,
| have heard her sobbing as though her
poor heart would break and praying
for the ones who were perhaps on the
field of battle or sleeping on the
ground without II shelter. And, like
many others who stayed at home As
well as those who fought our battles on
a southern soil. she has long been
sleeping the sleep that knows no wax
ing, her life shortened by those hard
days of toll.
Each mind was filed with such
tender solictude for those boys of the
north in a rebel country, ready if any
thing presented itself for them to do
for the comfort or welfare of the Boys

and Judging others all over our broad
land by them, ! cannot but conclude
that women truly took an active part
in the greatest struggle our land has
ever known and, undoubtedly. comrades
of Co. G., you can look back to just
such wives, mothers or sisters, and al
though you knew how glad they would
be TO welcome you home, remember
there were hours Of cares and solcitude
that you knew nothing of. So, while we
gladly give all honor due the boys who
fought, and still live to tell of dangers
they have passed through, and drop a
tear in memory of the dead heroes, let
us remember the women who were at
home, helping them with their prayers
their loving letters of encouragement
and an occasional box from home,
which think was always enjoyed. And
knowing as | do the extreme regard
that one member of your Co., at least,
bears to all women, think you will all
agree that the name of the women of
which have spoken should be remem-
bered with the greatest reverence.

of them) into the hospital or on the
field after the battle, To minister to the
wants of so many poor boys who
needed, so much, soft loving hand to
smooth their burning brow, or perhaps
to give drink of cold water to parched
tongues, or stopped to whisper words
of consolation to ears already touched
with the hand of death, and others who
had the privilege of visiting loved ones
in camp, how welcome they were, not
only to the brother on husband whom
they were to minister to, but to all. How
welcome was the sight of true woman;
| how much she reminded them of some
one in their own far away home. But
there was another line of women who
stayed at home, who, when their time
came TO give their husbands and
brothers as dear to them as life, babe
them 90 and do their duty. How truly
brave they were, taking upon them
selves the care of the farm perhaps,
doing or helping to do what they had
never thought of doing before, never
thinking their strength equal to tasks
so hard to perform; but, as the summer
came on, making hay and storing into
barns, and raking up the grain and
preparing it for threshing, and milking
the cows after day of such hard work
and doing other things to numerous to
mention. But YOU who have been, or
are, farmers, know all about keeping or
trying to keep the farm in order so it
would not suffer while the brave one
was gone to the front to protect that
same little home and help to keep our
bright land out of the hands of trait
