From the St. Louis Globe Democrat.
Pottstown, Pa, March "A peculiar
case of two brothers, whose resem blauce
TO each other was complete, and who ex-
changed places during the war, has Just
been made public here. Hiram Frances,
who died few months ago, enlisted in
1861 in the Ninety-seventh Pennsylvania
Infantry, which command was recruited
in Chester county. After serving as a
private for a year and a half he secured
a furlough and came to his home at
Pughtown. When the time lapsed for
him to return to the front he was loath
to go, and his brother, Herman Frances
volunteered to don the uniform and take
his place in the regiment, which he did
and served well until the expiration of the
term when he was mustered out with an
honorable discharge. Two years ago he
applied for and was granted pension
and is yet in receipt Of the quarterly pay
ment. After the death OF Hiram at this
place his widow, who knew that her hus-
band, previous to their marriage, had
been a soldier, but who did not know of
the exchange made by the brothers, ap-
piled for a widows pension, and an inves.
tigation of the records brought out the
facts which the surviving brother corob-
crates.
