Plans are being made to restore

These plans were made easier, at

where the old fort formerly stood
which is now on his farm.

CAMPAIGNS IN
THE WEST

He met, fought and defeated the
Cheyennes, Comanches and Kiowas,
in the southwest. He chastised and
subjugated the Sioux in the north
west, driving Sitting Bull out of his
country. He made a forced march
of 100 miles in the winter of 1877,
when the temperature at times drop
ped to 40 degrees below zero, and
captured Chief Joseph and his Nez
Perces who had long caused the gov
eminent trouble.
Crazy Horse, Lame Deer, Spotted
Eagle, Elk Horn, Broad Road, Nat
chez and cher Indian chiefs quailed
before his advances. Geronimo and
his bloody Apaches, when chased and
cornered by Miles, refused to- capitu-
late unless they could do so to Miles
personally. He conquered the last
great Indian uprising in 1890, during
which Sitting Bull was shot and the
other rebellious Indians neekly sur
rendered when they heard that it was
the "Big Chief Bear Coat who was
on their trail.
Nor is subjugaticn of the Indian
the only debt the government, and
especially the settlers of the west,
owes to General Miles. With char
acteristic foresight, he saw that in
time the great western plains would
be settled by notwithstanding colon
lists, and years before reclamation by
irrigation was thought of, he had
reported on the feasibility of this
project to the government, and recon-
mended spreading the nourishing
waters on the arid land. General
Miles always prided himself on being
'the father of irrigation and recla-
nation"

BORN IN
BAY STATE

When the Civil War broke out,
many civilians organized units with
their own funds, and later took com
mand of their townsmen in the army.
When the Roxbury Guards were re
cruited, the enthusiastic citizens Of
that town promised a bounty of $40
for each man who enlisted. The money
was delayed, however, and when the
company was completed and the funds
still failed to materialize, Miles took
the only thousand dollars he had in
the world and borrowing $4,000 more
paid the men their bonus. He was
never reimbursed by the fOrgetful
town council.
At Charlottesville he received his
most serious wound, a shot in the alb
domen. It kept him out of the battle
Of Gettysburg but he recovered in
time to take part in Grants campaign

of the Civil War. At the age OF 20
he had risen from the rank OF first
lieutenant of volunteers to that OF
major general and was commanding
an entire army division OF 25,OOO
men.
FOUGHT INDIANS
IN THE WEST
From a clerical position in a Bos-
ton business house, he entered the
army at the age of p; participated
in more than 80 Of the severest en-
gagements of the Civil War; was four
times at the point OF death from
wounds, and emerged from the great
struggle the possesscr of many en-
vable citations for bravery and dis
tinguished service. Continuing IN the
army, he fought and pursued Indians
on the great plains for more than ~
years; led the army of occupation In
Porto Rico during the Spanish-Amer-
lean war, and although long retired
when the United States entered the
World War, ne was ready and eager
to participate once again In the ser
vice to which his life had been de
voted.
It was the saddest disappointment
of a long and adventurous career
when, despite his best efforts, Gener-
al Miles was not recalled to active
service in 1917. He had been retired
in 1903 upon reaching the age limit
but when the United States entered
the European war, be asked to be semi
to Siberia with the American troops
Tt was decided, however, that no eX-
ception could be made in mis- case.
FROM FIGHTING
STOCK
General Miles received his first mil
itary training at the hands of a form
er officer of the French army who
eked out a mere existance in Boston
by teaching a number of young mer
the tactics employed by the French
army. It was quite natural that his
ambitions should enter on the army
for he sprang from long line Of
fighting colonists on the patena
side.

In Memorial m.

In loving remembrance Of our dear loved
one. Thomas C. McGaha. who departed this
life six months ago. December IS. 1924.
He was a kind and gentle husband and
father. often denying his own happiness
for the sake Of others. and ever ready to
help some one in need.
A loving one from US has gone.
A voice we loved is stilled.
A place is vacant in our home
Which never can be filled.
Oh, he suffered dreadful pain.
But would not to US complain.
As we watched him night and day.
And saw him fading fast away.
Hard we tried to keep him with us.
But love and skill we're all in vain.
Six months on earth without his presence,
Six months Of loneliness. grief and pain.
But sleep on. dear one. and take thy res t.
God called you home. He thought 1t best,
In silence you suffered. in patience you
bore,
Till God called you home to suffer no more
On his face there was a smile.
As If to say. loved ones. meet me after
awhile.
We miss his loving voice and smiling face.
Oh. we miss him from his place.
By his loved ones.
