The following tribute to Joel I.

than passing interest and, therefore,
take pleasure In bearing my testimony
to his sterling worth as a fine sol
der one among the best in my com
pany, brave to the limit.
He was universal favortte OF the
company and always smiling and
cheerful, whether marching through
Dixie mud or performing a soldiers
duties.
His memory, and performance as
soldier, is yet fresh in my memory,
though over fifty years have elapsed
for over three years comrades CAM

the old vets.
