gagements in which his regiment took
part. After the close Of the war he
lived in Worcester, engaging in farm
ing and numbering. In 1868 Mr. Tenn

gantie frame testifies to once maani-
flcent physique and the fact that he has
attained to his present age in spite Of
the experiences which he has passed

for the relief brought BY visitor, the

with three children was found weeping

buddled together, clothed in rags and
eating the bark of trees, their only
