Secretary - T. r. Buckley.
One vice president will be
y chosen from each township in
the county.
u p
One hundred and thirty-seven old
soldiers and old sailors accompanied
by their families and friends, gather
ed at Streblow's grove at Agency yes
terday, celebrating the first annual pic
mic of the Wapello County Old Sol
diers and Old Sailors association.
The weather was delightful, the sun
seemed to smile down upon this gath
ering of veterans in approval and
nothing happened to mar the pleasure
of the day, which was immensely en-
joyed by old acquail tances and telling
OF their war experiences, which are
ever fresh in their memory.
While Father Time has whitened
their hair and has thinned out their
ranks, many Of them still stand erect
and declare they are no older than
they were twenty years ago. Hundreds
arrived in Agency on the trains and in
vehicles UP until late in the after
noon. A special train running from
Ottumwa TO Agency, with five coaches,
carried about fifty old soldiers and
their families to the reunion grounds.
The occasion was enlivened by the
military band, which was secured
through the efforts of T. R. Buckley,
and which accompanied the soldiers
on the special train. Several pieces of
martial music were played at the I'M
ion station before the departure Of the
train and on the train Ell route to the
picnic. After reaching Agency the old
soldiers formed in line, and led by T.
R. Buckley and John Feehan, who act
ed as color sergeants, and by the mill
tary band, marched to the picnic
ground.
Old Soldiers Register.
The veterans were all registered in
large book, giving their names, their
rank company, regiment, where born,
and present address. One hundred and
thirty-seven old soldiers and sailors
registered during the day.
At II o'clock the assemblage was
called to order by the president, Major
Samuel Mahon, who explained that the
purpose of the meeting was to effect
permanent organization of the old
soldiers and sailors of Wapello coun-
ty.. Mr. Mahon said:
"This Is the first time in Wapello
county that an effort has been made
to launch an organization of the old
soldiers and sailors of the county.
Previously there have been organiza-
tions of the regiments and companies
but this is to be an organization of
all the old soldiers and sailors in the
county. Forty years ago we thought
nothing Of travelling three and four
hundred miles to meet in reunion
but time has got in its work on us and
thinned our ranks and whitened our
hair, but our spirits and hearts are
still young. 1t is the purpose of this
organization to hold picnics annually
SO we can meet and enjoy day to-
gether." Following the talk by Major
Mahon, Rev. o. G. circuit opened the
meeting with prayer
