Division Orders No. 8, issued at Tweddle
Building, Albany, n. Y, by f. ". Estes
Commander, states that applications fol
Camp charters have been received from
Wilson, Niagara County, 40 applicants
and Canandaigua, SO applicants. w. j.
Crimond Camp, AS, Rome, was duly
mustered Sept. 30. by the Division Com
mander. The officers are: W. j. Abbott
Captain; Z. E. Speidel, First Lieutenant;
A. E.. Audas, Second Lieutenant. Num-
Der of applicants mustered, 43. The Com
mander desires to return thanks to mem
bers of the Camps at Utica, Syracuse and
New York Mills for assistance given him
at this muster. He also thanks Com
mander Nv. j. Cramond, GAR, and
Brothers Relyea, Taber, Abbot, and all
who were instrumental in organizing this
Camp.
The Commander further says: "A large
number of Camps are in process of or
ganizatiOn, and the correspondence at
Headquarters betokens q revival of in
terest in every portion of the State. The
circumstances connected with the Or
ganizing of two of the three Camps named
in Section of this Order should encour-
age every member. A personal letter of
the Division Commander to the Com
mander of the GAR. Posts in Rome and
Canandaigua was the primary cause of
the formation of these Camps. If few
moments of time spent in the writing of a
letter can produce such results, how
much more is to be expected through the
personal application and united efforts of
our faithful members. Let each Camp
select some place in it's neighborhood as
field of action, and commence an ag-
gressive campaign.
Procure complete lists of the eligible
members in the neighborhood. Bombard
their names upon the charter application.
A few days later let a committee spend a
day in the town. The result will be a
charter list Of sufficient size to warrant
the mastering of Camp. Every Camp
in this Division has sufficient active mem
bers to enable the membership to be
doubled in half year If the attempt be
made with energy and perseverance,
In Division Orders, No. 8, Missouri Di-
vision, issued at Grant City, j. w. S.
Dillon, Commander, says: 1.-The season of
the year has arrived when every brother
and every Camp should put forth jealous
membership of the Camps. The time is
ripe for an enthusiastic rally throughout
the Division, which, should not ceased
until all eligible material has been arouse
to action and brought intd xisting Camps
or become charter members of new
Camp. Upon every brother rests the re-
sponsibIlity not only ofoexplaining the
merits of the Order to every eligible per-
son within his sphere Of acquaintance,
but Of convincing such persons of the
duty and desirability of belonging to the
Order Of Sons of Veterans.
In addition to having principles equal
in merit to the principles of any other
the Sons Iof Veterans has the
advantage of being founded upon one of
the greatest historical epochs Of Ameri-
can history, and ought by right of moral
worth and noble heritage become one of
the most potent factors of truth, patri-
Otism, and civilization in our great Re-
public. Requests sent to these Head
quarters for blank applications for charter
will be promptly complied with"
