CoMRADE HOPKINS GETS THE MEDAL.
f. G. Storey, Boston. Mass, in a com
munication of recent date, told of his pos
session of West Virginia medal or badge
Comrade Storey noted the communications
of Comrades Harding, Co. X, 18th w. Va,
and Hager Co. X, 4th w. Va, as to the
meaning and ownership of the same. He
says: Il have also received two letters re-
garding the same one from, a young lady
in Newark, o., saying her father had one
of the badges described, and one from
COmrade ii. G. Hopkins, Co. b, I'd W.
Va. Cav, Ironton, o. l also received
letter from the latter, with an affidavit
from Probate Judge identifying him as
the individual described, also a postal
card several days after saying he had re-
ceived the badge by mall .,
The letter from the veterans daughter
said her father had such badge, and that
it was presented to the soldiers of West
Virginia by the State and was made from
the cannon captured from the rebels. and
that the name, company and regiment were
engraved on the edge. She thought all
others must be the same. Comrade Storey
stated this in his letter to Comrade Hon
kins, and said: II have looked with a DOW
erful glass, and it looks to me as though
there had been a name, rank and regiment
of some kind originally on the edge, but
that it had been filed off with a fine file.
You say that you lost your badge some 30
years ago. l have no doubt that the badge
would be valuable to you, even IL 1t is not
| the original, and as the badge is of no
| special value to me except as a relic,
would be very glad to have some old COM
rade who Is entitled to 1t, have it. OF
| course. you are an entire stranger to me.
