Our attention has been called to
the fact that the name of w. II.
Doyle, member of Orr's Regiment,
was omitted from the roll Of those
present at the recent reunion. This
omission is doubtless due to the fact
that when the members names were
| n n no Mr
| failed to hear, as his hearing Is i'm
paired of late. Mr.. Doyle was a
| member Of Company F, Orr's Rifles,
and served throughout the war,
! though not all the time in Orr's Regi-
ment. He was at the surrender at
AppomattoX, but at the time was or
derly sergeant in Company C, Second
S. G. Regiment We are gladroGSp-
portunity to correct this omission
from the roll, and if there are other
| similar omissions we will be glad to
correct them if given notice Of same.
L. A. Brennecke is spending
some time at Highlands, having
gone there recently for the benefit of
his health. He is at DR.. Lapham' s
sanatorium, and we join with others
of his numerous friends in the hope
that he may be completely restored to
health. By means of his irrepressi-
bic wit, and his propensity for comic
drawing he is, we are informed, MAX
ing life worth living" at the "camp,"
where he uses his gift Of drawing to
the amusement of other patents, IL
Illustrating current events in a most
striking and humorous manner. His
is a disposition to be envied A con-
stant sufferer for years, and for long
periods unable to move except in a
wheel chair, still there is never a
time when Lutte" possesses less of
humOr and merriment than the hap
piest Of his companions.
