Yes, there are mighty few of us boys of 61-65 left-but we have this big family left to carry on in our memory. Our sons did it in 98--and our sons sons in 1917-18. Our great grandsons, like that young one out there, are keeping their eyes on things over there--for our present and future over here.

Federated Patriotic Societies. Sons of G.A.R. Sons of sons. Indiana G.A.R. 61st encampment. Evansville. Theyll all be with us through Thursday so show them a good time.
