One of the veterans. who attended the semi
centennial at Gettysburg has told of a rather
odd incident at the memorable gathering at
the great battlefield that will have a bearing
on the 37th annual reunion of the 18th Maine
Regiment, which is to be held Aug. 27, in
Materville. On the morning of the third of
July, word was passed around the camp at
Gettysburg that the 18th Maine would meet at
a, M, at their monument At that time,
about 20 of the number gathered. 1t was sug-
gested that prayer be said, ard Rev. George
l. Palmer of Falmouth, Foreside, corporal in
Co. l. made very deep and impressive prayer.
Other members of the regiment made brief
addresses. and the affair had proven SO pleas
ant .assw as stirring that Mr.. Palmer was
directed to get list of the members of the
regiment in camp. 1t was further decided to
draw up set of resolutions, and these resolu-
tions will be presented at the reunion to be
held in Waterville next month.
1t will mean the bringing together Of all the
surviving members of the regiment for anoth-
er reunion, which will be held in G. A. r. hall.
The committee which is to have charge of the
arrangements consists of president, ]. L.
Merrick, Waterville; vice president N. D.
Libby, Unity secretary, Silas Adams, Water
vile; Oscar Mayo, Waterville, and B. F.
Charles, Oakland. 1t is expected that between
