Toledo TO numerous cities and towns
should have weight with practical peo-

But apart from its bright prospects of
becoming a manufacturing and COM
mercial center, the fact that it is pecu-

Portable homes should not be ignored,
particularly people who desire to be
where educational. religious. musical,

The present population of Toledo is
roundly estimated at $50, 900, and these
figures do not include the thousands in

this country as memorial to those
who gave their service to the Union.
Toledo was early in the field in estab-
fishing a Grand Army Post. Dr.
Stephenson, of Springfield, H., estab-
lished the first Post in April, 1856. ON
Nov. 8 of the same year Forsyth Post
was mustered in at Toledo, with IA
charter members. 1t was named after
Lieut. Duncan Forsyth, who was killed
by Confederate guard as he sat by a
window in Libby Prison. The Pest is
one of the few which retained the orig
!. inal charter, and from it has sprung
Toledo Post anG Volunteer Post. Their
meetings are held in Memorial Hall.
Ford Post, in East Toledo, was the
second one mustered in at Toledo. and
is named in honor of Capt. Hyatt q.
Ford, who fell in battle at Winchester
Va, March 1G, 1862. This Post has not
missed weekly meeting since its or
ganization.
Each Post has a splendid Auxiliary,
and, in fact, the work of the women

hostiEties Every regiment from the
Northwest passed thru the city on its
way To tho front, and on its arrival al
Toledo. they found hundreds OF the IAN
sex. who supplied them with coffee ana
Sandwiches, and if any comrade was
sick he WAS at once taken in hand by
those noble women. 1t was on Oct. 3.
1861, when the Toledo Soldiers Aid
Society was organized. and their work
continued until the close of the war
Forsyth Relief Corps was organized
from these faithful women, and Toledo
and Volunteer Corps are offsprings from
the mother body.
Ford Circle, Ladies of the G. A. r.,
are active workers to aid the veterans,

There are also aid societies to the
Sons of Veterans. Auxiliaries to the
Spanish War Veterans, Daughters OF

A Touching Civil War Incident.
(From The RELIGIOUS Telescope.)


It was at the battle of Wauhatchie
in Tennessee. When the Union armys
victory was achieved. shout went
up. 1T was Geary's men who won the
fight Where is Gen. Geary? Bring
him soI we may congratulate, promote,
and brevct him." The staff officers
found Geary in his tent, with his arms
folded and in utter detection. The staff
officer rushed in and congratulated him
and said, Gen. Thomas wants you to
come to the field at once, so that you
may be promoted and brevetted. l am
glad you got thru safe" "Oh no."
said Geary, don't congratulate me.
/ can't bear it Tell Gen Thomas
cannot come. Tell him that / care
nothing for promotion"
The officer said, II cannot go back
to Gen. Thomas with an answer like
that. You are all right. You haven't
scratch. You are not wounded"
Then said Geary, II am wounded I
am mortally wounded l am shot thru
the heart" Then walking over to a
corner Of the tent, the General turned
back a blanket and exposed the dead
body of his only son, who had been
shot thru the heart. For that father
the shouts of victory seemed like mock
cries. His own heart was crushed and
broken by brief over the death of his
precious son.
This incident only indicates some
thing of the awful price in blood and
tears and heartaches paid for the pres
crvation of the Union and the Kidding
of the country of slavery.

THE "GoD,s ACRE" or THE CITY.
Where the People of Toledo Rest After
Putting Down the Burden.

The advance of people in civiliza-
ton and refinement is generally very
clearly shown by its care for the 'bodies
of its dead. AS man energies from
primitive conditions and his conflict
with the forces of nature for an exist
ence becomes less intense, he is enabled
to surround himself with the comforts
of life and devote some of his thoughts
to the esthetic Development of his ma
ture. One of the earliest objects of his
attention is the disposal of the body af-
ter life is over.
1t is unnecessary to detail here the
different methods in vogue among the
peoples of the world. from cremation,
embalminG and other less civilized Gus
toms to the comparatively modern GUS
tom of earth burial in the midst of ma
lures most beautiful environments.
Toledo, like other towns. having a
career going back a generation or-two,
has a number of cemeteries. AT first
rs was the early custom, burials took
place in the yards around the churches,
