ings Society, April IA, 1896. Mrs. M. C..
Dawes was elected chairman, and w. A..
Richardson, secretary of the joint C M
mittee. Comrade Z l.. Brewer, a n M
Der of the Shiawassee County Battn, ion
monument committee, stated that their
committee was in favor of a memorial
building to. be built in the ely of
Owosso. He suggested that per- Fps ar
fangements could be made with the La
dies Library, or some similar "rganiza-
ton to assist in building a memorial
building.
A general discussion followed as to
whether it was advisable to L. and build
a memorial building or erect a monu
ment. The majority of the committee
favored a monument at the cemetery, yet
was willing 10 aid in erecting a county
memorial building or monument.
1t was decided to hold a joint meeting
IF the members of the post and corps to
discuss the matter.
! A Joint meeting of the members of the
post and corps was held at the post hall
on the evening of April Is, 1896, to dis
cuss the subject of building a memorial
building or monument, and the use o fthe
monument funds then on hand.
After a lengthy discussion by many of
the members the following resolution was
adopted: That the money known as the
monumental funds of the w. K. @. and
G.. A. II. be used in. connection with a
county fund, provided there is a sufficient
fund raised for a suitable monument or
memorial building in the city OF Owosso.
At a meeting of the Shiawsssee County
Battalion, held at Vernon, Oct. 26th, of
the same year, their county monument
committee did not report rs having raised
any funds towards the erection of a coun-
ty memorial building or monument, or
any particular progress, and was granted
further time with the privilege of enlarg-
ing their committee.

representing some eastern parties, sub
United a design and made an offer to the
post to furnish q large, ~fine-looking mon
ument with a statue Of soldlerf for 5000.
The proposal was referred to the mon
ument committee, and on the evening OF
Nov. 18th, 1896, the joint committee met
at the home of Comrade and Mrs. I. NJ
Wiley to consider the proposition. 1t
vas decided not to recommend the pur-
dhase OF the monument at that time, as
the committee desired to receive propo-
sails from other parties and see what they
would offer. A special committee was
appointed of Mrs. M. @. Dawes, Geo. w
Loring and w. A Richardson, to confer
with the president OF the Owosso Bust
ness Mems Association, Mr.. A. ID. Whip

Was there ever a women in the wide world
who did not yearn to be the mother of a
bright faced, happy, healthy, laughing, roll
licking child? If there ever was such d
woman, she was a bad one, and while there
are many thoroughly bad men, there are
very few thoroughly bad women.
1t was Gods and Natures intention that
every woman should be the mother of
healthy children. Tens of thousands of
women defeat this beneicent design by
their ignorance and neglect. They suffer
from weakness and disease in a womanly
way, and take no measures, or the wrong
measures, to remedy ii. DIR. Pierce's Fa-
vorite Prescription is a sure, speedy and
permanent cure for all disorders of this
description. 1t acts directly and only on
the threshold Of human life. 1t makes
them strong, healthy, vigorous and virile.
It heals liberation, allays inflammation,
soothes pain and tones and builds up the
nerves. 1t banishes the trials of the period
of impending maternity and makes baby's
entry to the world easy and almost pain
less. 1t does away with the dangers of
motherhood and shortens the period of
weakness and lassitude. It insures the
little newcomers health and a bountiful
supply of no%urishment. 1t transforms
weak, sickly, nervous invalids into happy,
healthy wives and mothers. Thousands of
women lave testified to its marvellous mer-
its. A dealer Is not a physician, and has no
right to suggest a substitute for the prescrip-
ton of an eminent specialist like DR.. Pierce.

Lewis b. Quackenbush was a young
man OF twenty-five years when the
first secession gun opened on Fort
Sumpter, April 70, 1861. 1t fired his
young blood and he left his store and
set to work enlisting a company, and
the first men to enlist for the three
years service from Owosso were en-.
rolled in his company. He was mus
tered in as captain of Company II,
5th Michigan Infantry, June 10, 1861.
Captain Lewis b Quackepbush was
killed in action at the head of his COM
pany at the battle of Fair Oaks, Va,
May 81, 1862. He was buried on the
field but was afterwards removed to
the National Cemetery of the Seven
Pines, in Virginia, where he sleeps in a
soldiers grave.
Being the irst to enlist and among
the first to fall from Owosso in defense
OF the old flag, it was most fitting that
the post should be named in his honor.

have heard them, from many homes in

The Post has moved it's headquarters

We often say lower rooms must be
taken, for W. are all growing old to-

days are about over for many of us.
And now an important and browning
day in the existence of the Post and
Corps is the erection, dedication and
unwilling of the soldiers monument on
their lot in Oakhill cemetery, May 81.
The history of this movement has al.
ready been given, and this day long
ingly looked forward to for years, and
we as members of these organizations
know this object could not have been
achieved at this time had not the citi.
zens of this city and surrounding coun-
try come to the rescue with their con-
tributions, and especially to the Even.

and satisfactory manne in which it
has put the matter before the public.
To the children who have added

have inculcated lessons Of patriotism
and benevolence, we are sincerely
thankful.
In closing this report, the W. R. G..
