Tennessee in the War.

(NaShV1lle Amerlcdn.)
Tennessee's part in the civil war Is
one Of her chief claims TO glory. IN the
war OF the Revolution, in 1872 in the
Creek and Seminole wars. and in the
struggle against Mexico Tennessee had
already earned the reputation Of the
Volunteer State. In the last-named war
It is a matter Of every day knowledge
that when 200 men were called for $1,000
Tennesseeans responded But when the
drum beat sounded in 1851, Tennesseeans,
in surging numbers, flocked to the two
opposing standards. Some 10000 Ten
nesseeans Joined the Union armies, and
more than five times that number OF the
Volunteer States sons pledged their
lives, fortunes. and sacred honor 70 the
cause OF the Confederacy. II was re-
markable showing of devotion and patri-
otism. and establishes. we believe, with
out authoritative figures at hand. the
claim OF this State OF having furnished
more soldiers TO the civil war than thai
OF any other in the American slsterhood
-Four hundred and eight battles and Skin
mishes were fought on her soil, more
than any other State except Virginia
and Il is believed by many authorities
that more soldiers Of the civil conflict
who were killed in battle sleep in Ten
nessee soil than that OF any other State

Mrs. Lucinda A. bearing, whose death
occurred May 2Sth in the 6Sth year OF hei
age, was the wife OF Charles ID. bearing
and the youngest and last of the nine
children Of Isaac Grow, who came from
oxford, Mass, with his parents about
/ 1850, making the journey with oxen and
sled.
For more than thirty years she bad been
in feeble health and for the greater part
of that time confined to her bsd and SUI
tering severely and requiring constant
care. Many times during those years she
had seemed at the point of death and
probably nothing but the tenderest and
best of care kept her with her family so
long.
The length OF her illness and severity OF
her suffering were remarkable but not
more so than the devotion OF her family
TO her comfort. In fact ii has seemed the
main object in life of her husband and
children for all these years to do all in
their power To restore her to health or
when that was found impossible, to al
leviate her sufferings.
Deprived as she was early in life OF
many OF the privileges that make life
enjoyable and compelled to forego most
OF the pleasures OF existence, her husband
and children have also cheerfully given
up many eDjoyments for her sake.
She bore her long illness with singular
patience and seemed more anxious on
account OF Others than for herself.
Those of the present generation who
have only known her as a suffering in
valid, necessarily have a very imperfect
idea OF the active, cheerful ana lovely
wife and mother of forty years ago.
Always free from guile or any other I'M
lovely traits OF character, il is one of the
mysteries we cannot fathom why it was
decreed that her life must be one of such
suffering.
She had long been ready and anxious to
go and retained consciousness to the last.
Many years since two little children, Car
RE and Freddie, precec her to the
better land. she leaves a husband,
Charles ID. bearing, two daughters, Abbie
NJ, the wife OF &c orge T. bearing, and
Dslla +. bearing, also two grandchildren,
Dana and Carrie, all OF whom miss ana
sorrow for the departed one even more
than il she had been strong and had not
needed the care they always so gladly
gave.
IT'S hard to give thee up, dear one,
Yet life TO thee was pain,
And it were wrong to wish thee back
Since death must be thy gain.
We know that in some happier cline,
In mansions of the blest,
Thy spirit, freed from earthly pain,
With loved ones is at rest.
The funeral, which occurred Sunday.
May 30th, at the house, was largely
attended by sympathetic friends and
neighbors. Rev. Mr.. Bennett of Bethel
preached the sermon. A. g. Osgood con-
Quoted the ceremony and the cssket was
borne and lowered to its last resting
place by Geo. I. bearing, Edgar l.. Dear
ing, Benz. l. bearing and Wilfred Larock.
A CARD:-We wish to extend our heart
lelt thanks to those neighbors and friends
who have so kindly assisted us, not only
in the last sickness and burial of our dear
wife and mother but in the long years of
her illness and suffering.
