SOME TPOCGHTS FROM TIE SERMON

pany of which General G. NJ. Dodge was
captain. He was a lawyer, just beginning
his career as a practitioner, but he became
a soldier Of unusual excellence, as is at
tested by his rise through all the various
grades from private in 1861 to colonel IN
of the Twenty-third Iowa III.
fantry in 1868. He lost his life at the head
Of his regiment during the battle OF Black
Bayou in that year. When the Iowa com
mission to locate the positions of the Hawk
eye regiments about Vicksburg during the
operations of that great campaign began its
work, the grave of Colonel Kinsman was
located and marked. The elimination of
the remains and the reinterment at the
foot Of an enduring monument was a labor
of love on the part Of the people Of Council
Bluffs. The occasion was made the means
of publicly expressing the feeling OF graf
itude and honor for a brave man nearly
forty years after he had made his great
sacrifice for his country. A shaft of en-
during granite will hand the name Of Klns-
man down to generations yet to come, n

Events of the last three years have
bought Memorial day much nearer 90 the
homes and hearts of the people. Many Of
the new graves that will be strewn with

born in moot eases since the close of the
tragedy that gave birth to the day. These
