This Is Why and How

This is why and how it was
brought up again at Savannah.
When the vote came at Savannah,
after much discussion, for and
against Andersonvi1le, the vote was
"a to 73 against Andersonville.
The minority was so determined to
erect this monument at Anderson
sonville that they defeated every
movement to erect it any where else
in Georgia. The session was pro-
longed another day to decide this
question of location.
A great many delegates were COM
pelled to leave before it was set
tied, which was late in the after
noon In a last desperate effort to
carry their side against us they ac-
cepted Richmond by vote of 40 to SS.
Beautiful Monumental Avenue in
Richmond was pictured to them as a
most appropriate and fitting place.
If would be in the same locality as
the monuments of President Davis,
and General Lee, and other famous
Confederate heroes. They were well
pleased.
cat Atlanta, this new site commit
tee met the representatives from
Richmond to consult about its To-
cation there. We learned at once that
Monumental avenue would not be
considered by the authorities at Rich
mond at all. Then site on the white
house grounds was discussed. That
would have been a fitting and prom
inent location.

Some Recent History

Now as to how and why this mat
ter of site was brought up at Saw
annah: AS members of the site com
mittee and living so near to Ander-
sonville, we realized from the begin
ming the very serious mistake it
would be to erect this monument
there We consulted our Veterans
camp here They felt as we did, that
it would be very unwise to place this
monument at Andersonville. We
canvassed our town, only one man
said: Put it at Andersonville. We
had numbers of letters from promi-
nent men over the state urging us to
place our monument some place other
than Andersonville.
"As members of the U. D. c., with
the good of the Division at heart
and as members of the site commit
tee we felt that we had right to
ask the Chapters in the state to con-
suit with each other in regular
meeting and notify Miss Baxter and
us whether they desired this post
ponement for reconsideration OF
site. The replies that came to the
site committee were in the ratio of
to 1 for postponement If there were
other devices we know not Of them
1t was by request of majority OF
the Chapters of the State sent to Miss
Baxter that this action was taken
She had no right to refuse the de-
mands of the Division.

spread upward until the whole Of her head was
affected, and all her hair had to be cut of. The
pain she suffered was excruciating and what

almost unbearable. She became run down in
health. and at times was very feyerish, languid
and drowsy, and occasionally she was delirous
Her nerves were in such low state that she
could not bear to be left alone. In spite of the
cold weather she would insist on having her
bedroom window open, and would lean out on

we tried afforded her just as little relief as the
first. and l really do not know what we should
