volunteers, and he responded to the
call with patriotic ardOr. His first en-.
listment was in 20. I, ssth. Reg't Pa.
Vols, for three months. He re-enli,t.
ed for nine months in Co. g.. 135th,

for three years in Co. &. 4th Pa,
Cavalry. He was mustered out, July
lst., 1865 at Lynchburg, Pa.
Six years afterwards he married
Mary A. Haley at Milroy, Pennsylvania,
who with their only son, Elmer, sur.
vive him. Following the lead of u. 8.
and CIV. Haley, their nephews Mr.. and
Mrs. Simons removed to Red Cloud in
1878, and have made their home in
this county ever since. Here, also,
their son Elmer has always resided.
Mr.. Simops was man of unusually
large physical proportions, but his
gigantic size was never made the DC.
casion OF imposing on his fellows. As
psxceable and modest as IL he were a
smaller man, no body ever complain.
ed that he used his giant strength to
the disadvantage Of men of less stature
and strength.
In politics, he was staunch re
publican until the populist movement
Of 1890, since which time he generally
cast his influence with the peoples

Respected by his fellow citizens, his
death diminishes the ranks of the sur.
viving veterans Of the war, and lessons

will all miss him while they cherish
his memory.

"One Of the most important reforms
accomplished during the past year has
been the legislation enacted in the
army appropriation bill of last summer,
providing for a regular army reserve.
The new law provides that the
soldier, after serving four years with
colorSs shall pass into a reserve for
three years At his option he may go
into the reserve at the end of three
years, remaining there for four years
While in the reserve he can be called
to active duty only in case of war or
other national emergency. and when so
called and only in such case will re-
ceive stated amount of pay for all of
the period in which he has been
member Of the reserve. The legislation
is imperfect in my opinion, in certain
particulars, but it is a most important
step in the right direction, and earn
estly hope that it will be carefully
studied and perfected by congress"
