An Older brother once called that
schoolmate of mine in my hearing a
little Doctor; then by that myster-
ious method among children he was
dubbed Doctor, shortened to DOC"
and bore that name all his boyhood
life, and by his mates, into manhood
and old age. Another of our school
mates had an angular shaped head,
and some one remarked it was nearly
square-and from that day forward,
instead of Sewall, he was Square"
The father of another, in play once
called him a little major" and the
name stuck; his name OF Davis was
scarcely ever used, it was always Ma
jor" ;another's nickname was made
from running his given and family
name together, which was accepted,
stuck and thought to be all right. The
initial letters OF another's name were
G. A. B., and that supplied most
delightful name for him! OF these
five, the four who lived to manhood,
served in the Grand Army; one was
at the first Bull Rum; Major was
seen to fall at the extreme left of the
skirmish line at Spottsylvania, and
was never heard of again.; one was
once caught sleeping at his post and
scared almost to death, but being a
blacksmith, and too valuable to the
Battery to be shot, was easily let of,
but never slept on his post again
And oh! how many OF our other
schoolmates fell on the battle fields
or died in prison; one was in Hook
er's noted lighting brigade in 1862,
and at Williamsburg they were told
to lie flat on the ground; our school
mate was always reckless in his Gu
riosity, and lay there till curiosity
overcame him, when he lifted his
head; the watching gunners Of the
Johnnies took that for sign that a
charge was to be made, and let fly; a
shell burst just over our schoolmate'
back as he ducked his head, and tore
off his knapsack, the straps badly
wrenching his shoulders. That was
the first year Of the war; later he
would not have had knapsack. Most
surely not in action. Later, at the
fierce battle of the Second Bull Run,
ball struck his rifle, and when he
had gotten another from fallen
comrade, another ball went through
his doubled arm, two wounds on the
same arm.
In the winter time the gates Of
our upper dam were closed, and the
set back water flowed over hundreds
OF acres OF marsh land, making big
lake, and an ideal skating lpace; the
water being shallow, froze quickly,
and we never had a drowning acct
dent, although several in the big lakes
of the town. From our district school
house we could skate almost home;
and going for dinner it was a con-
slant strife to see who should get
home, bolt his dinner and get back
on the ice first. Docs" home was
so near the ponds edge that he could
walk on his skates through the gar
den to the kitchen door; and ire
quently his big sister would aid him
to get his lunch and rush back to the
ice. had to take off my skates and
walk through field; but my sympa-
thetic mother would have bowl of
milk in the top OF the tea-kettle, with
delicious baked sweet apples warming
it, and a dish of Boston crackers"
and a generous piece of apple pie on
the table. Um-in-m! Wasn't it good!
