Hessler joined the 18th Minnesota at
the outbreak of hostilities and was
with the regiment at Chicamauga
waiting for the orders which would
take them to Cuba. The orders never
came. While in camp Hessler's

and decided he was entitled to a pen

visited Morris at intervals and was
here when his father died several
years ago. He is survived by his
mother, two brothers and two sisters,
all of whom are in the western states
and could not be present at the fun
