He was Grand Army man, a pensiOner and an Odd Fellow. 1 Guernsey Johnson-Guernsey John son, of Co. D, should be remembered as one who answered the first call of Gov ernor Buckingham for volunteers. He enlisted from Hartford in Co. c, Third Connecticut, and was with Tyler's brig ade at Bull Run.

 Captain Reuben Waterman-Newspa- per mention was so complete and so widely copied of the death of Captain Waterman that presumably all of you were made aware of it, as well as of the remarkable incident that preceded and perhaps hastened his decease. The re- turn of the captains sword was an event that left a deep impression upon him and perhaps was fitting prelude to the later surrender of himself to the hands of his Maker December 6, 1901.
 Captain Waterman was born in Linn erick, Maine, in 1926, and consequently was well up on the danger line of years when he was stricken down. He had lived in South Meriden many years and became a femiliar figure to the people there. His business interests were in the city of Meriden, where he was equally well known. Besides being a member of the Grand Army, he was an Odd Fellow and Mason
 The act of the Confederate Officer Neatherry in returning to Waterman his sword surrendered at Kinston. N. C., was noble and manly. do not need to unroll before you the panorama of that Hateful day.
