1.-TWO members of the eighth Connecticut
volunteers in the civil war, who had not
seen each other since the battle of Antie-
tam, 80 years ago, met In Groton few
days ago. The two veterans are James
Nj. Bacon, the care taker of the Groton
monument, and J. G. Jennings of Willing
ton, who recently came to Groton and
entered the employ of G. D. Hanover as
painter. Mr.. Jennings made visit to
the monument, where he met Mr.. Bacon,
and in course of their conversation they
discovered each others identity. Both
were members of Co, d. Eighth Reg. land
Mr.. Jennings was color bearer In the
regiment. He was, like most of the
others In his company, wounded In the
battle at Antietam, and he did not meet
4 Mr.. Bacon again."
