IT was the Fourth of July--the
Natal Day of the great Nation
which the Civil War then at It's
height had threatened to split
asunder. The terrific conflict at Get
tysburg was over. and whilst there
was rejoicing throughout the Union
forces over the repulse of Lees move
ments OF the day before 1t was tenn
pered with overwhelming sorrow at
the price in human blood paid for
the victory. The heavens were weep
ing In torrents as If trying TO wash
away the evidence of the dreadful
carnage Of the three days strife. and
as IL protesting against the renewal
of the battle which proved to be the
most destructive of the whole war.
On the one side was the Army of
the Potomac unconscious at that time
of the extent of Its victory, and on
the other the legions of Northern Viz
ginia somewhat dismayed at the fall
ure of the previous day but yet I'M
conquered. For tho present Lee de-
termined not to attempt further bat
tie, and a retreat to Virginia was
decided upon. Calling General I'M

TN 1909 tho State of Pennsylvania
decided TO entertain the veterans
of both armies on the fiftieth an
j niversary OF the Battle of Gettys-
burg. and Il bill was passed by the
State Legislature approprtating a GER
tain sum for that purpose. At that
time II was not known how many
veterans would come, and in order to
interest the old soldiers in different
parts of the country the State OF
Pennsylvania asked the Governor OF
each State 10 appoint Commission
TO represent his State. the Commission
to include Confederate as well as
Union men. This was done, and the
greatest enthusiasm was aroused
among the old veterans over the COM
Ing encampment. 1eetIngs were held
at Gettysburg from time TO time by
the Commission ers and tho plans OF
entertainment formulated. Extra np
propriations have been made until the
sum has reached ss15,00o.oo This
Includes s15o.0oo.oo from the War De-
partment which is in charge Of the
camp. The immense amount of work
required in preparing for the accom-
mediation OF the visitors can be read
lily understood when 1t is known that
forty thousand old veterans are ex-
pected. L

then expected to be my future

year old boy J. G. G. in Sioux

that on September 12, began
to get in my goods and opened
the store for customers Sept. 1S.
My store bu lding was the first
real store building with a
we'll assorted stock of general
merchandise in Turner County.
The building was 20x4O, 16 feet
high with lean-to for ware,
house on the south 14x4O.
The citizens of Swan Lake at
this time were easily counted.
They were V. p. Theilman and
wife, w. w. Aurner and wife
and her two sisters, II. j. Hill
and wife and their son and I
believe a daughter, Jorgen Jor

there were Aurners new house,

Iheilman finding the old court
house too crowded for all of his
offices (he was running all the
county Offices except the sher
riff S at this time) built quite a
comfortable office room which
was afterwards used as the
courthouse until the county sea,
was removed to Parker.
