well died, happy that he had lived to
know that his faith In his son was es-
tablished. His wife soon followed him.
It was source of regret to their
friends in Trescott that they had not
lived long enough to read the letter re-
ceived by the postmaster Of the town

When the congressman Of the district
of which Trescott is part told this
tale to congressional committee he
moved the earnest legislators to tears
The record was immediately changed,
with the expressed regret of the gov
eminent at the years of obloquy that
had been unjustly hanging over the
name of Harry Treadwell, closing with
the words:

gave him to the Union. That record
is a dreadful mistake"
And so it was every Memorial day
and at the annual encampments Of the
Grand Army Aaron Treadwell never
failed to give public testimony of his
faith in his sons innocence. Mrs.
Treadwell always pleaded with him to
be content with his own firm convic-
ton Of his sons soldierly qualities.
But it was all in vain, and the father
and mother appeared together.
"No, Mary" he continued, 81 shall
never be too old to do this for Harry.
God forbid It! Harry never turned his
back on his duty. not even with the
threatened slaughter at Gettysburg"
Trescott sent many strong men to
the front In 1861. Some of them are
alive today, and each Memorial day
they walk to the cemetery on the brow
of the hill, and the blue peaks of New
Hampshire's majestic mountains look
down upon their devotion.
One Of these brave boys was Harry
Treadwell, the only child and main
stay Of his father and mother on the
Blue Hill farm. When Captain Lang
organized a regiment of the New
Hampshire farmers from Grafton
county Harry had returned flushed with
excitement end the ardent patriotism
of his nineteen years.
