Gone day in Dublin, ireland, he took
nap and was awakened by band COM

Georgia. He hastily rose. It's a crowd
of Americans thought the general, who

right-that the air OF Marching
Through Georgia was an Irish tune,

prosperity; an honest and upright man,
faithful husband and father whose vir-
tues endeared him not only to the men,
bers Of this society but to all his fellow
