built, and ever since then the society
has been increasing in numbers and
influence. That part Of the city has
grown largely in population and the
church has shared to large extent in
the prosperity of the neighborhood.
New Church Necessary.
For several years the church build
ing has been considered inadequate tc
take care Of the congregation and its
auxiliary interests. Five years ago ar
effort was made to remodel the building
in order to secure more room, but il
was soon seen that nothing short Of q
new church would meet the demand.
Last May the Rev. F. S. Tincher be
came pastor Of the church. He soor
saw that future growth depended large

would accommodate the people, and hi

were all captured-Editor National

What regiment has he reference to
when he says the Sth? It must have
been the 18th Ohio. II So please make
a foot note of the same. l belonged to
the gallant old 18th and was an eye
witness to all its movements during thu
entire battle and want all the honors
due.
This brings fresh to my mind an in
cident of bravery which took place s ION
after and not far from that portion of
the field described by the correspond
ent. Gen. Rousseau, seeing that his
Division was in imminent danger of be-
ing cut off and captured. called upon
the 18th Ohio to make herculean
charge from the railroad down through
the open field to the cedar thicket, in
order to hold the jubilant rebels in
check until his command could reform
on new line of defense. AS We were
making the charge with fixed
bayonets down through the open,
Gen. Rousseau was riding in
front of the colors and during the pre-
gress of the charge the General called
out. Come on, boys: / see the whites
of their eyes" In the color guard was
a young man called Brunson. Brunson
not wishing to be hampered by any
thing between him and the rebel line,
called out to the General in these
words: General, II you want us to go.
please get out of the way with your
- old horse" At this Gen. Rous-
seau turned in his saddle and looking
down on Brunson said. You're sol
dier made of the stuff for me-" and
wheeling his horse he rode back
through the lines and off to the left,
where his command were emerging
from the cedar thicket. There was no
braver soldier in the Army of the Cum
berland than Comrade Brunson. The
last / ever saw or heard of him was in
a savage fight with a fellow prisoner
in the Pemberton Building in front of
Libby Prison in Richmond. Va. during
the Winter of 1868. The fight was the
result of a dispute over some rations.
1t took the combined efforts of two or
three other prisoners to release his vic
tim, and not then until after he had
severely lacerated his antagonists right
arm with his teeth.
If any one reading this article knows
anything of the whereabouts or the end
of brave Brunson of the 18th Ohio,
would be glad to hear from them
