the rain. 1t was the intention to spend
the day picnicking in the woods, bu. this

agreed to hold subsequent reunions, but
for some reason the movement did not
materialize until this year. The official
roster of the company shows that seven
ty-six men served all or portion of the
time during the years mentioned, and
the command gained. under the discip-
line and schooling Of Gen. Lincoln, a
statewide reputation. The company

making and was the life of every en-
campment attended
