her strength gradually failed. She
was woman Of kindly disposition,
ever generous with her family and
neighbors, and interested in the well
fare OF the young, loving mother,
whose memory will be ever cherish

ONE TENTH
IN TRENCHES
Iowa Contributed Liberal Portion Of
PopuIace to Fighting Force
of Nation in Civil
War

At the close of the civil war the
records of the war department re-
vealed the fact that Iowa had been
called upon for 1881 troops and had
furnished 76,242, according to DR..
John E. Briggs Of the research staff
of the State Historical society. The
report of Adjutant General Baker of
Iowa, showed that 1925 enlisted men
| We're reported to the war depart
ment, while 1884 had not been re-
ported. making the total number Of
men furnished 1909. While these
figures would seem to indicate that
/ Iowa had not contributed quite it's full
share of men to the war. it must be
remembered that all the volunteers
from this state up to June, 1864. ex-
|cept those composing the First regi-
ment, were enlisted for three years.
This was not true of all the voIun-
|teers from other states. If 1owa's
total quota were reduced to three
|year basis it would amount approx
|mately to only 61,220, while the ag-
|gregate number of men furnished,
computed on the same basis, am cunts
Ito $500.
