land Magazine there is an article with
which every Augusta citizen should be

on the Kenncbcc" by Emlra Hunting

most interesting fashion with that little
understood period Of our history. the
years from 1925 to 1861 when the men of
the Plymouth Colony maintained a

work. and the result is Il contribution to
local history whose value can hardly be
overeStimated.

I'm memory of
Charles +. Emerson,
OF pittSfOn Moino


A member of Co. G. 18th Maine Vet.
Vols. who after service Of more than
four years in the United States army.
died in Chester, S. c., March "A, 1866,
aged 10 years and Z months.
Comrade, sleep, thy work is done;
Here we lay thee down to rest.
All thy days of toll are gone
And thou are now forever best"
The remark was made, without re-
Fiction, of course, 1T may be that the
poor boy has a mother somewhere who
has never ceased to grieve for him."
It is probable that his mother has left
this vale Of tears. but It is alec proba-
BILE that others who loved him are liv-
ing and it may be gratifying to them to
know that respect is paid to his grave.
Our cemetery keeper, himself a Con-
federate veteran, rounded up the mound
over the grave nicely this morning. as
he did those that are unmarked.
By the way. Mr.. Emerson's grave ap-
pears to be of very unusual length, but
this may be due to some inaccuracy in
placing the foot-stone.
I suppose he was q member Of the
garrison stationed here in 1866.
