..... Capuin Merry Talks of Vicksburg.
At the recent meeting of the 21s',
22nd and 23rd Iowa regimti.ts at
Vicksburg, wliich commemorated
the 45th anniversary of the assault
ou t&t river town, on May 22nd,
186$ Captain K. Merry, prcoi
deutof the 21st Jo wo association
was present and conducted the ser
vices held at that time. lu an in
terview with Captain Merry, he is
i]noted as follows: "I received
Thursday moruiug it telegram from
Capt. VVm. i£. Kigby of Vicksburg,
who formerly lived in this city
stating that Gen. Stephen D. Lee
difcd that morning. In this cou
nection, at the time of the reunion,
Gen. Chas. Harris of Omaha,
who commanded the Second Bri
gade, 14th Division, 13th Corps of
the army of the Tennessee iu the as
sault on the Confederate railroad
redout, which was commanded by
the Confederata general, S. D. Lee,
attended the Brigade reunion held
at Vicksburg May 22nd. General
Harris and General Lee were cla is
mates at WeBt Point before the war
and they had not met since the war,
until at the recent reunion of Gen
eral Harris's brigade, when together
they went out to the old fort and
for an hour talked over the con
ditions as they were forty-live years
before. General Lee made the ad
dress of welcome at the reunion, and
of the many addresses I have heard,
he made a most vigorous, euthusi
astic and patriotic to those veteraas,
who assaulted his works 45 years
before, and lcau hardlv realize that
the telegram I received from Cap
tain Rigby that the General had
died that morning, can bo true, 'l'ha
old veterans, who have returned
from the reunion, all speak in the
highest terms of General Lee and
they will be grieved to know that
they will never see him again, but
they will also be glad that they at
tended thiB reunion and heard his
words of welcome.
"Col. Harvey Grahm of Chicago,
who, during the assault was a lieu
tenant colonel, of the 22nd Iowa,
was the officer in command to
whom Gen Lee surrendered .1 uly 3,
1803. He is now 83 years old, but
he attended the reunion and he and
Gen. Lee were so drawn to cach
other that they exchanged buttons—
Gen. Lee taking Col. Graham's
Loyal Legion button, and Col
Graham accepting Gen. Lee's con
federate button, not to be worn, of
course, but kept as souvenirs of
that occasion.
"Lieut. W. H. Needham, who now
edits a paper at Sigourney, Iowa, is
the only survivor ol the little band
of heroes who succceded in getting
inside the Lee fort May 22, 1803.
Six of them were killed in the fort,
and the others have gone to their
long home, he being the only one of
the party left. He attended the re
union and hiB address on the as
sault on Vicksburg was listened to
with great interest. While Gea°
Lee was speaking, there was one
veteran in the audience whom he
wanted to come forward and stand
beside him^ and that was. Lieut.
Needham, and when he came for
ward, Gen. Lte spoke as follows:
'My friends of the North and my
friends of the South, I want to in
troduce to you one of the biavest
men God ever made—Lieut. Need
nain, who walked over the bodies of
his dead comrades in his assault
upon my fort May 22, 1803.
"The 21st Iowa enjoyed the dis
tinction of having the largest num
ber of veterans present of any of
the four regiments. There were 33
veterans and 14 ladies and 3 sons
of veterans, making 50 in all from
the 21st. Their reunion was held in
the office of the National Park Com
missioner and was addressed by
several comrades, some of whom, be
fore they reach home, will have
traveled 8.000 miles. The officers
of the association elected for the
coming year, are S. T. "Richards,
president Myron Knight, vice
president and C. Maxan, secretary
and treasurer, all of Edge wood, and
-Edgewood, on invitation, was the
selected as the next place. of meet
ing, the time to bo selected by the
officers, which will be some time in
1909, and the veterans all expressed
themselves as confident that Edge
wood would give them as good a
time as they ever had."
The Vicksburg Herald, in its
write-up of the reunion, says that
Gen. Lee, on being introduced by
Capt. Merry, who presided m-er the
reunion, made this htutem»nt:
"There is one Union soldier, Capt.
Merry, who can always command
me. He and I made the first 4th of
July speeches that had been made
at Jackson, Mississippi, since the
war, and we have been associated
together in the Park and other
work for many years."
Capt. Merry says that while all
of the speeches and papers were
good, that in his opinion, the best
addresB made was that by, the Hon.
M. W. Harmon of Independence,
who enlisted at Hopkinton, August,
1862, in Co. K, 21st Iowa. Every
member of that company who was
present, and, in fact, every man of
the-regiinent and brigade, were de
lighted with Judge Harmon's ad
dress, "Iowa at Vicksburg."
There were 110 in the party and
the Captain says that in the 28
years he has been visiting Mississip
pi, he never saw two such beautiful
days in May as May 21 and 22 this
-year.
Joined in Wedlock:
SS. Peter and Paul's church at
Petersburg was the scene of a pretty

John Eilers of Guttenberg, llev.

After the ceremony at the church,
the bridal party repuii to the

Decoration Day Program.
The' day opened dismal and
gloomy, with threatening cloudB,
which developed numerous showers
of fine mist and rain during the
afternoon. However, the City Opera
house was filled to its capacity at 2
o'clock when the members of the
Grand Army and Relief Corps, Com
pany and a large number of citi
zens, who attended the exercises.
Commander A. B. Terrill conducted
the services, introducing the Rev.
R. A. Barnes, who offered the invo
cation, and then after a song, the
speaker of the day, Capt. J.F. Merry
who delivered one of the strongest
and most eloquent speeches ever
heard before Manchester audience
lie spoke of the decimated ranks ol
the grand old army of civil war vet
erans, aud of the patriotism which
had been a marked trait of Ameri
can people since the days of revolu
tion against the British empire.
Later in 1812 when again the people
of this country were called upon to
repel a second invasion of England's
soldiers. The war with Mexico in
'•10, and the rebellion in the sixties
were concluding evidence of the love
ofjeountry manifested by the young
men of the country at those times.
He refreshed the memories of hit
listeners by recalling the events
prior to the late war with the south,
when Abraham Lincoln was about to
b-j elected to the presidency of this
nation aud the threats of Southern
tnen to secede, if their lights to re
tain their slaves were to be doubted
and disregarded by the North. He
made mention of the over 2000 en
gagements waged during the four
years, which are now honored by
the government by locating various
national parks at certain pointB
where the mo3t awful conflicts were
fought. The navy is also represent
ed in these national cemeteries and
parks, .and the administrations have
all approved of ascertaining, with
out thought of expense, the graves
of the dead and heroes of the war.
The Captain paid tribute to the mil
itiamen of today and to their willing
ness and ability to serve the country
in training for perhaps further con
flicts.
The musical numbers of the after
ndon were pleasing and well recei
ved. Mr. Cal Martin and Mr. F.
Joseph, togther with a chorus from
the High School, furnishing the
music. The G. A. R. and Corps,
with Company then marched to
the cemetery, where the graves of
soldiers were decorated.
Death of George Appleby.
George Appleby died at the home
of his daughter, Mrs. J. H. Crooker,
in Sioux City, May 28th, 1908. He
was born August 24th, 1820 in the
State of New York, and at tho age of
12 years, with his parents, moved
to Pennsylvania and remained there
employed in his father's saw mill
until he was 20 year's old, when be
was united in marriage to Miss
Catherine Church, and soon after
wards became residents of Ohio, re
maining in that state until 1850,
when they came to Iowa and settled
in this county. There were born to
them eleven children, of whom he is
survived by eight, four daughters
and four sons. Ilia wife died in
September, 1903, and since October,
1905, he made his his home with his

Mrs. Alpheus Fuller.
Mrs. Alpheus Fuller, whose death
is here noted, was born in Oxford
county, Maine, sixty-four years ago
next November. Her maiden name
was Amazina Gustavia Perkins and
she was the daughter of Rev. and
Mrs. Charles Perkins. When still a
young woman she moved to Buchan
an county, Iowa, and there lived for
a short time. In 1870 she moved to
Calhoun county with her parents and
took up a homestead west of Pome
roy. There she took up the
week that the editor of this paper
arrived in this county and became &
neighbor of Mrs. Fuller. It was only
sixty
1
rodB from her house to our
house and she immediately became
"Aunt Tavy" to we children. Never
waB blood relative more true and
devoted in friendship than good,
honest, noble Aunt Tavy. She was
as true a friend to children as the
world has ever known, and when
mother's hand was worn out with
work over her sick little ones, it was
tho blessed hand of Auut Tavy that
smoothed the pillow aud patted and
soothed the fevered little foreheads
until they began to get well, and
then brought fruit and sweets to
them in their convalescence. She
made them love her and think of ber
as almost dearer than blood relative,
for no woman on earth was willing
to sacrifice more for the comfort of
others than Aunt Tavy. She never
knew what it was to hesitate when
suffering humanity demanded her
attention. Her whole life was one
of usefulness and sacrifice. She went
in darkest night or fiercest storm to
minister to the sick and help those
iu distress. A nobler woman never
lived and she is certain of reward.
We saw her in her coffin the other
day with a look of peace upon her
face Her rest had come. The grave
is but a temporary abiding place for
such a noble woman. May her pure
and honest soul find eternal restand
happiness is the sincere wish of one
who mourns her as one of the tru
est, best friends of an entire life
time.
Mrs. Fuller united with the Bap
tist church forty-seven years ago
and atways lived a consistent
Christian life. She leaves three
brothers, Charles G. and Luther,
both of Pomeroy, and Eli of Delhi,
Iowa and a husband. Alpheus Ful
ler, whom she married in 1889.
The funeral took place last Satur
day afternoon from the late home to
the Presbyterian church in Pomeroy
thence to the Union cemetery for
interment in the family lot. Rev.
lluber officiated and preached a
comforting sermon to the family and
friends. A choir, of ladies sang the
songs the decease loved so well in
ber life-time, the simple, yet beauti
ful hymns of the earlier years. The
pulpit and rostrum were banked
with pre'ty flowers and the casket
was almost hidden from view by
the floral offerings heaped upon it.

Educational—For the Country School.
The teacher works from one view
point, th6 parent from another and
the school officer from another.
Childhood is in the crucible—and
the future of our commonwealth.
Let schoolboards be composed of
educated, intelligent men and wo
men.
Let their chief aim be the further
ing of educational interests, of im
proving conditions, of demanding
higher standards of excellence. Let
the masses come to a realization of
the facts that the school tax is not
as large as some other kind of taxes,
that there are some things that are
beyond computing in money~values
such for instance as cultivating in
tellects and hands and minds and
hearts, that every child- in Delaware
county has a right to graduate from
Sth grade work, that the teachers of
Delaware county have a right to as
good salaries as those of Page or
Ivoaauth counties, that there ought
to be some regulation of the salary
question that would be fairly adjust
ed, that every parent should have a
thorough knowledge of the present
school system with its merits and de
fects and the results as well.
Why is it that but one per cent of
all pupils entering the primary fin
ish the course through the high
school.
Let township boards in consulta
tion with their teachers decide on a
graduation day for the schools of the
township.' Have a joint program
und public picnic as central as pos
sible.
Let boards of education lend their
influence toward inducing country
children to graduate from their
home school.
Let us have improved and beauti
ful school grounds. It is a great
helper in improving and beautify
ing dispositions within those four
square walls.
Let all buildings and fences be
kept in repair.
Let every room be supplied with
some means of ventilation as well
as necessary maps and supplies.
Let every room be as neat as a
pin.
Let every play ground be a be
loved spot.
Let every heart be a garden that
is being tilled for eternity.
