THE CROSS FAMILY.
A Father aud Five Sons in the Arm

Editor National Tribune: 1 have al
ways believed in printers ink, and for
many years believed in The National
Tribune, and am still further confirmed
in both points by the vast amount Of
mail l am daily receiving. In your is
sue of Nov. 10 you inserted in q quite
inconsDicuous place a request for in
formation regarding any by the name
of Cross who had served in any of the
country's wars. BY the 18th they COM
menced arriving. Eight States are rep
resented up to date. I derive my ELI
sibility to membership in the d. A. r.
from Uriah Cross. of Coventry, Conn,
who enlisted under Ethan Allen and
served from 1775 to 1879. He was one
of six brothers, all Revolutionary SOL
diers. That was good record to start
from. 1 am interested in any record
outside of military service, particularly
the Massachusetts branch, from which
my mother sprung. My parents were
distant cousins. The following is a
good example Of Cross patriotism. The
father. William II. Cross, enlisted in the
50th n. Y. Eng. The five sons were as
follows: Amos N, Co. X, 33d N. Y;
Lemuel r., Co. A, 14Sth N. Y; James
c., Co. A, 14Sth N. Y; Asa D., Co. NJ,
4th II. A; George NJ, Co. NJ, 4th H. A.

keeper. Too much praise cannot be
given to the noble women of the Re-
lief Corps for their loyalty in the pres

they have purchased additional land
covering the forts and approaches, and
have inclosed the entire grounds with
a wire fence. They have staked off
the original prison and dead line, also
the historical spots. The wells are still
in good condition and protected by a
fence. They built commodious build

those who visit Andersonville will find
elegant rooms and meals at the prison

greatly to the cheerfulness of head

several times at the front when he was

STATUE TO GEN. WELLS.
Bronze Memorial to BE Erected on the
Battlefield of Gettysburg.
(From the Burlington CVt) Free
PreSs.)

In response to a petition signed by
nearly all of the prominent veterans
and others in this State a location will
be- granted for Il bronze statue in honor
of the late Gen. William Wells on 1he
battlefield of Gettysburg. In the latter
part of October or the first part Of No
vcmber delegation of the 1st Vt Cav.
will go to Gettysburg, and with the
Battlefield Monument Commission will
decide as to the exact location of the
monument
On the afternoon of July 3, 1863
Gen. Wells led a desperate charge up
Round Top, and it is expected that
among the men who will confer as to
the location of the monument wills be
some who were on hand that day. The
matter of securing locations for monu-
ments on the battlefield is growing
more and more difficult, but the ScCre-
tery of War, in response to the letter
circulated thru Vermont, referred the
matter to the Battlefield Monument
Commission, and all that remains to be
done before the erection is the selection
of a site. The exact nature of the
monument, except that it is to be of
bronze, has not been determined, but
WIN be in the near future.
The statue to Gen. Wells will be one
of a number erected in honor of SOL
diers from Vermont who participated
in the battle.
