Hon. George H. Woodson, Buxton,
la. Dear Friend:-I have undertaken
to help an old colored fellow named
John l.. Fowler of Marinette, Wiscon-
sin, find two members of his regi-
ment. He belonged to Company A.,
6Oth Iowa, colored infantry, during
the civil war. Mr.. Fowler, who is
now an old man, has been trying for
years to obtain pension from the
government. But he must have two
persons who knew him while he was
a soldier, to identify him. This is
the only obstacle to his securing the
pension.
81 am requesting that you send me
the names and addresses of any men
who were during the war of the re-
bellion, members of the 60th Iowa,
colored infantry, Co. A. Mr.. Fowler
Originally came from Missouri. He
tells me that these men, ex-soldiers,
now live in Oskaloosa, Iowa: Harvey

Ciated.

OUR BAND STAND.

Abba Republican: One of the fin
est band stands in Iowa has been built
at Oskaloosa The merchants of the
city raised the money and had con-
crete stand erected Different colored
thing has been used on different sides
of the band stand and it presents a
mighty pretty sight. Some of these
days there is going to be a demand
for a band stand in Abba. Wonder
what kind of one we will build?
Maybe If trees were planted in the
court house yard IN the years to come
there would be band stand erected
there which would be satisfactory to
all the people. But the Oskaloosa
band stand is one of the finest ever
and is a monument to the generosity
of the Oskaloosa merchants. On La
Dor day we are going over and sit in
the stand and talk to Uncle Dick"
Williams for half an hour.
