AUXILIARY TO THE GRAND ARMY OF
THE REPUBLIC.
The following from the pen of Mary
N. North, national press correspondent,
of the w. r. c., will be of interest to
our readers:
During the Civil War many relief
societies sprang up in the North and
West, and after the close of hostilities,
when sick and manned soldiers fturn-
| ed, unable to work or care for their
loved ones, the ministrat;ons of the
loyal women continued, and not only
was the veteran cared for, but his de.
! pendent ones 80 we'll.
In 1883 number III Societies were
still in existence, and pursuant to a
call Of Paul Van Der WORT, Command
erin Chief of the Grand Army of the
Republic, their representatives assem-
bled in Denver, and were organized
into what has grown to magnificent
proportions carrying on its rolls more
than 1850 patriotic women. The
best women of, the land, in all walks OF
life, have considered it an honor to be
enrolled under the banner whose motto
is Fraternity, Charity and Loyalty.
The streams of bounty of the Order
have flowed through many channels to
reach the one great end, and more than
three millions of dollars have been used
in relief since its organization.
AIMS AND OBJECTS.
The aims and objects of the Woman g
Relief Corps are:
To especially aid and assist the Grand
Army of the Republic, and to perpetu'
ate the memory of their heroic dead.
To assist such Union veterans as need
our help and protection, and to extend
needful aid to their widows and orphans.
To find them homes and employment,
and assure them of sympathy and
friends. To cherish and emulate the
deeds of our Army Nurses, and of all
loyal women who rendered loving
service to our country in her hour of
peril.
To maintain true allegiance to the
United States of America; to inculcate
lessons of patriotism and love of coun.
try among our children and in the
communities in which we live; and en-
courage the spread of universal liberty
and equal rights to all.
This organization was the first to in
troduce the salute to the flag in the
public schools and to make the observ.
ance of Flag Day general by preparing
and carrying out suitable programs,
There are two salutes to the flag
taught in the schools, the one for the
older scholars being, II pledge allie
glance to my flag and TO the Republic
for which it stands; one nation indivis-
bic, with liberty and justice for all.
The other one is taught the younger
pupils, and is, II give my head and my
heart to God and my country: one
country, one language, one flag"
The Woman's Relief Corps is an IN
corporated body and owns much
valuable real estate.
Andersonville Prison Park belongs to
the Order, and under the skilful direc-
ton of Mrs. Lizabeth A. Turner, Chair
man of the Committee having the
grounds in charge, has been made to
blossom as a rose.

Obituary..

Mrs. Elizabeth K. Fisher, who died
in Owosso, Tuesday, May 14th, at the
home of her daughter. was born in
Waterford, N. Y. Feb. 2, 1918. At
an early age she moved to Rochester,
N. Y, where in 1910, she was married
to VIM. Fisher. They came to Mil
ford, Mich, in 1856 and in 1858 to Ann
Arbor and settled on the Northside,
where they lived for many years. Four
children, William, Frank, David and
Kate, were born to them. Two of
whom, Mrs. VIM. Mathews, of Owosso,
and David, of Menominee, survive her.
Her husband died in Ann Arbor in
1884.
When the drum beat of the nation
called for loyal sons, William and Frank
went forth to fight for their coun-
try. Frank never returning, having
been killed in the battle of the Wilder
ness; William returned and died here
eight years ago.
Mrs. Fisher was a very quiet, low
able, charitable woman, one who al
ways saw only the good in others.
She leaves host of friends who have
felt the influence of her good example.
She always took the deepest interest
in everything that pertained to our
soldiers, that had given up
their lives as we'll as those that re-
NAMED. She was one of the first
members Of the Decoration society and
was one of the ladies who gathered
together the money to erect the Sol
dier's monument in Fairview cemetery
She is now laid to rest beneath its
shadow.
There is no death,
What seems so is transition,
This life of mortal death
Is but the suburb Of the Elysian
Whose portals we call death.
Ann Arbor Argus.
In connection with the above a brief
reference to Mrs Fishers husband,
VIM. Fisher, seems appropriate. Mr..
Fisher was born in Maine in 1918, the
son Of Presbyterian minister AT an
curly age he learned the printers trade
and when 81 years of age came west
and entered the employ of the D troit
Free Press; going to Rochester, N. Y,
he engaged for twenty years in business
for himself, gaining fair competence.
Failing health caused him to sell his
business, and he returned to Michigan,
taking up farming at Milford. In 1853
he moved to Ann Arbor, residing there
most of the time until his death occur
red, part of the time being engaged in
business for himself but most of the
time was employed as an editorial writ
er for the Courier and later as a COM
positor for the Register, working at
1.-THE case" until II years of age.

You mean the counts diary, which was

Silva nodded feebly. Evidently he was

shall have it without delay. If there is
