j. G. Howe, Secretary, Des Moines,
Iowa, writes 81 see in a recent issue OF
your paper request for the names and
address Of officers of Reunion AssOci-
atoms OF different regiments of the civil
war, and among others was the 18th Iowa
OF which was member. Several years
ago few Of us got together and organized
| an association. We held our regular Re-
union in October at Winterset, Iowa
where we succeeded in getting together
105 of the old boys, including our Colonel
and several other officers. Iwould say 10
any Of the old members OF the regiment.
not present, that they missed a treat by
not attending, as Winterset gave us a
cordial welcome. The citizens turned
out with tleir carriages and gave us all a
free ride over the city, and on returning to
the soldiers monument the school chill
dren to the number Of about 900 marched
down to tie square, each one, from the
flowers, and opened ranks and let the old
boys march through, and as the head of
the company came along they literally
strewed our pathway with flowers. 1t was
scene that l do not think anyone of
these OLD boys will ever forget. Lieut..
Casper Carter, of Osceola, Iowa. was
elected President; Lieut.. w. r. Mathews,
OF Osceoia, Iowa, Vice-President; George
Paul, of Osceoll, Treasurer, and j. G..
Howe, reelected Secretary.
"The next meeting will be at Osceola. on
Oct. S and 8, 1899, that being the ami
versary Of the battle of AllatOona, where
our regiment suffered a severe loss, in
Guiding our Lieutenant-ColoneI Redfield.
The stubborn resistance Of the few troops
there made it possible for Sherman to
start on his march 10 the sea. Had the
Johnnies succeeded in getting the ratIons
stored there il would undoubtedly have
delayed Sherman's departure. II any of
the boys of the 39th should read this. we
want them TO remember the date of the
next Ieunion and try to be with us: and
alss any members of the old Third Bri-
Sdde, Fourth Division, Fifteenth Corps.
as know OsceOla will give us royal
reception"
