Esther Morton was not the only sweet
heart who on the next day would nave
to part with her soldier lover.
The village had offered up it's chivalry
at the altar of patriotism, and every
heart in the small congregation was
awed by the thought that for some of
the brave men there assembled this
was the last day of worship in the little
church at home.
They had known each other from
childhood, Edward Allen and Esther
Morton. Their homes adjoined Until
the war broke out it never occurred to
either of them that they would ever
separate Their joys and sorrows, even
their ambitions, had been one from the
beginning of their schooldays.
AS Esther grew to womanhood she
developed a beautiful voice. Edward
was gifted likewise, and they hoped
great things for themselves in the flu

death Esther Morton's mother had been

but before he fairly realized his friends
fate he was wounded himself and lost
consciousness. When he regained
his senses he found himself in con-
federate prison. Many weary months
he suffered inconceivably in mind and
body. He was rot sure that Col. Nor
ton was dead. Did they know his fate
at home?
He felt the awful certainty Of Col
Morton's death would be better for
Esther and her mother than months of
horrible silence and suspense such as
he was passing through, and he thanked
God that his own father had died before
the horrors Of the war.
He wrote to Esther. No answer ever
reached him. Anxiety told upon his
health, and when he was at last eX-
changed he lay for weeks in union
hospital with lingering fever.
On his recovery he received an honor
