Iowa Infantry, to Meet in second
Annual Reunion.
The surviving members Of Company.
II. Thirteenth Iowa Infantry, a part Of
the famous CrOcker's Iowa brigade,
are making plans for their second an.
nual reunion, which is to be held at
the home OF Col. Elliott Shurtz. No. 500
North Second street, next Saturday. 1t
Is to be an all day affair and II it
proves to be anything like the one held
last year at the Soldiers Home, when
the members of the company came to-
igether for the first time in strictly.
company gathering, 1t will be an en-.
joyable one.
Company H was recruited in Mar
shalltown in 1861 and Col. shurtz was
one of its first captains. He, however,
was wounded, and in order to keep in
the service was necessitated to accept
"a cavalry appointment. Attic the col
sonel did not serve his entire army life
as Thirteenth man, he is always
recognized by the boys as one OF their
number, purely and wholly, and re-
union would be incomplete without
him.
Il One Of the important matters to
come up before the company at Its as
sembly Saturday is the sentiment in
regard to the giving back to the state
Of South Carolina the confederate coll
ors taken from the public building a.
Columbia by George w. Dart. now Of
the Soldiers Home In this city. The
flag has been the property since that
time Of the Croker Iowa brigade and
Us now In possession OF Col. H. H. Rood.
When the brigade holds its next en-
campment at Keokuk vote will be
taken on this question and the eenti-
ment OF Company H, which will I'M
doubtedly be against returning the COLI
ors, will be forwarded to the brigade
headquarters.
