conflict that resulted in their freedom
One April day he was advancing
this idea in little church that was
crowded with negro children One
of the colored girls suggested that
they 90 Immediately, gather armfuls
of flowers and place them on the
graves.
This set Mr.. Redpath to thinking
of what might be accomplished by a
general move of such sort. In the
end he instructed the children to tell
their friends that on May day the
graves of Union soldiers around Char
lesion would be decked with flowers.
Spread Flowers Over Grave.
Greater even than Mr.. Redpath
had hoped was the response More
than 10000 persons, it is stated,
gathered at the federal cemetery, and
the graves We're literally covered with
spring flowers.
Still another statement of the origin
of the custom has it that the burial
of young soldier in New York state
suggested the idea 1t was on a
beautiful May day when the sorrow
ing relatives and friends gathered about
the open grave beneath the blossom
ing boughs of fruit-tree.
When the solemn committal rites
were over and the last shovelful of
earth had been cast on the mound
the wind swept with strong breath
through the overhanging boughs, and
a veritable snowfall of sweet, white
blossoms descended upon the young
hero's resting place.
Tradition has it that when, years
later, this story was repeated to Gen
eral Logan the idea of an official dec
grafton day took shape in his mind.
The late General Joseph Wheeler
always insisted that General Logan's
attention was attracted to such me-
msrial tribute by a custom that had
already been followed several years
by the women of the south.

A. A. Smell, Who Died at Owatonna
Early Yesterday Morning.
From Fridays Daily.

rTofn fFludV DaliV.
Owatonna Journal: A. A. Smell, a
well known and highly esteemed
citizen of Owatonna, died suddenly at
his home on south Cedar street, late
Wednesday night. Mr.. Smell had been
in very poor health since a year ago
last April when he suffered a slight
stroke of paralysis. The effect of this
seemed to be the Weakening of his
heart, and although lie recovered from
the stroke, he never again was we'll
Since last Sunday he had been under
constant care, but the end was not
expected so soon. He was unconscious
after four o'clock Wednesday afternoon
and expired without regaining con-
seriousness.
The deaceased was born in Roots
town, Ohio, Nov. 9th, 1912. While yet
a boy, in 1857, he came west In 1861
at the outbreak of the civil war, he en-
listed in the regular army, in the
Eleventh United States Infantry Aft
er about years service he was dis
abled and given on honorable discharge
which is among his cherished papers.
In 1864 he was married, and Mr..
and Mrs. Smell lived for several years
at Clearwater. Later they removed to
Faribault which was their home for
some years. Fourteen years ago they
removed to this city which has since
been their home.
Mr. Smell was cooper by trade
in his youth, but later went into the
insurance business, and finally became
connected with the Mccormick Harves-
ter company. He has been in the en-
ploy of the Mccormick company and
latterly the International Harvester
company which absorbed it, for over
thirty years, during the last twelve
of which he held the responsible posi-
ton of block man.
The deceased was a member of the
Commandery of Knights Templar, and
of the Minneapolis Lodge of Shriners
He was also member of the Grand
Army of the Republic and of the Uni
ted Commercial Travellers.
He is survived by his wife and one
daughter, Miss Alice Smell, and by
three brothers and one sister.
Mr.. Smell was level-headed man
a good citizen in every way, kind
husband and father. He was held in
the highest esteem by his business as.
sociates and neighbors, which is a
genuine test of his character. His death
is greatly regretted in this community
in which, though his life was quiet
and inconspicuous he was valued as a
citizen and friend by all who knew
him.
The funeral will be held at Ovation
ma on Sunday at 2 p. m. Messrs
White, Ahlers and Pitcher of Mankato
will be among the pallbearers.
