The Madisonian. (Richmond, Ky.) 1913-1914, 1913-07-08

The camp Is full of unexpected
meetings. Every day brings forth nu-
merous meetings between men who
nave not seen one another for many
years. Many are commonplace, but
some are extraordinary For in
stance, here is one:
l. D. Munsee Of Erie county. Penn
syivania, soldier in the 111th Penn
sylvania. was captured by the con-
federates at Peachtree Creek, Ga,
when he was one of Sherman's army
on the celebrated march to the sea.
He was being conveyed to the rear
by confederate soldier when the
union batteries opened fire upon the
party among whom he was a pris-
oner. The man who was guarding
Munsee was hit and fell, knocking
Munsee down and lying on top of
him
Seeing his chance OF escape, Nun
see lay very still under the uncon-
scibus confederate while the battle
ragged around them. That night he
slipped from under the body and es-
capped to the union lines
Il thought that fellow was dead. -
said Munsee. "but l saw him today
Poor fellow, his minds bad, and he
didn't recognize me, but / was sure of
him. couldn't even get his name, but
I'm goin over later to the Georgia
camp and try to find cut who he is"
One OF the most interesting places
in camp was the lost and found bu-
reau, located under the benches; in the
big tent. Everything found on the
grounds was brought there and thou
sands applied every day for missing
articles.
There were at least 100 crutches
pied up in the bureau, dozen or so ap-
plicants having called for them Those
who come to redeem their lost
crutches seldom can recognize them
and most of them go away with some
body else's. ;.
There was one wooden leg also ly-
ing unclaimed. 1t was brought in by
a Boy Scout. who had found it under
a tree.
Several sets of false teeth were
found.
A grandson Of Francis Scott Key.
composer of The Star-Spangled Ban
ner" is here. He is John Francis Key.
aged eighty-two, of Pikeville, Md, and
he is veteran of the Second Mary
land infantry of the confederate army
Wearing suit of gray, Key came
into town, weak and almost dropping.
He has been in failing health, but de-
clared he was going to see Gettys-
burg on this occasion or die
One OF the oldest veterans in the
big camp is Captain w H. Fleig of
Houston, Texas, who was ninety years
of age on his last birthday, February
%. During the war he served with
distinction In the marine department
of the confederate navy. Captain
Fleig is one of. the best preserved
men in camp and is more active than
many of the other veterans score of
years less advanced
Wearing tattered uniform of
gray, Alexander Hunt of Virginia was
the central point of interest on the
streets of the town. Mr. Hunter was
wearing the identical suit and hat
winch ne wore at Gettysburg fifty
years ago.
The suit was In rags and has bullet
hole through one Of the sleeves. He
carried all his accoutrements used at
Gettysburg and wore union belt
taken from foe here Mr. Hunter
was member Of the Black Horse cav.

James H Lansberry of st. Louis,
Mo-, who enlisted in the Third Indiana
cavalry from Madison, Ind, recited to
his comrades the details of his cap
ture in the town of Gettysburg by
Confederates so years ago. Following
the skirmish Just outside of town
which marked the opening of what
was to be world-famed engagement,
he had been detailed to assist in car
rying a wounded officer to the old
seminary in Gettysburg. While in
town frantic women Hooked about him
and begged that he tell of the battle.
He remained to tell the story, with the
result that he had to spend several
days in following the Confederate
army as prisoner. After tramping
SO miles over rough country without
shoes he succeeded In escaping and
finally made his way back to Gettys-
burg, where he remained till August
in assisting in the care of the wound
ed, which were housed in the semin-
nary. churches. barns and public build
ings.

If YOU wish to have your children
coached, who have fallen behind
their classes from sickness or other
cause. send them to Mrs. G. d.
Crawley, who is known to be one
