THE JENNIE WADE MEMoRIAL.

On page two OF this issue we print
the text of a special circular issued by
the w. r. G. of Iowa relative to the
Jennie Wade memorial fund Jennie
Wade was one of the modest heroines
of the great war. While the battle
waged fiercely at Gettysburg she re-
manned at her post of duty although
shot and she'll were flying thick about
her and did all she could to relieve and
sustain the boys in blue. In our opin-
ion Jennin Wade doing her plain and
humble work was just as much of a
heroine as though she had ridden at
the head of the batalions with battle
flag in hand. The ladies of the Iowa
Relief Corps have undertaken the mob
lie work of erecting suitable monu-
ment to mark her final resting place
on the battle field OF Gettysburg. A
plain white stone now marks her grave
but her memory is held in reverence
by hundreds of the boys in blue who
fought in that memorable battle. At
the time of her death Jennie Wade
was the fiance of one of the brave IN
ion boys who was wounded and taken
prisoner at Carter's Woods near Win
chester, Va. June 16, 1868 and died
July II, 1863, but nine days after his
promised bride had given her life for
the same great cause. Jennie Wade
| was sister of Mrs. Georgia Wade Me-
Clellen woman who has devoted the
best years of her life to forwarding the
work of that order which has for it's
mission the relief of the boys who wore
| the blue. Mrs McClellen has taken
no part in instituting this memorial
fund but it is felt by all to be a recog-
milton not only of one sisters noble and
I devoted death and helpful life. Deni-
son would do a generous, noble-heart-
| ed deed if it contributed largely toward
this memorial fund and we believe
when called to the attention of our
people they will gladly do so.
