History of Stoddard Post No. 34. of

Worthington.

Many Facts, Names, Etc., of

Interest to Old Soldiers.

Worthington and vicinity has been noted from the first, (the first being the year 1872) as a centre where the soldier element was strong. At oue time it was claimed that Worthiogton had the strongest Post of the G. A. R. in the State.

This is just the time and the occa­sion to give a brief history of the Post, and to this end the ADVANCE "has gathered some facts and names which will be of interest to old soldiers and their friends.

From a small pamphlet is obtained a history of the Post in early times. This pamphlet says on the title page, that it is "a brief history of Stoddard Post, compiled and published by B. H. Ben­nett," and wesecured acopy from Post­master L. B. Bennett.

FIRST YEAKS OF TIIE POST. The account of the organization and

lirst years of the Post is as follows: On the evening of June 29th, 1872,

about thirty-five or forty ex-soldiers of the union army, who had faithfully served their country during the rebel­lion, met at a building which was in­tended for a carpenter shop, and which was then standing where the Congre­gational Church now stands, for the purpose of organizing a Post of the Grand Army of the Republic. The meeting was addressed by Captain Henry A. Castle, of St. Paul, and the objects of the organization fully ex­plained, gfter which he proceeded to muster in those assembled as Stoddard Post No. 34, Department of Minneso­ta, G. A. 11., Capt. Castle being at that time Commander of the Depart­ment.

The Post received its name from an old gentleman named Stoddard, who had died here the previous winter, he being the tirst ex soldier buried in No­bles county.

The first officers of the Post were as follows:

Wm. Ii. Akins, Commander. J. S. Hiuck. S. V. CJ. T. C. Bell, J. V. C. M. B. Soule, Adjutant. C. C. Hood now, Q M. 1{. 1). li.irlwr. Surgeon. A. B. Willi y, O. J>. J. C Goodi.o'iv ,0. (!. The Post held weekly meetings dur­

ing the summer, but as winter ap­proached it was found impossible to procure a suitable place tor meeting, and as a consequence the Tost became somewhat demoralized, and owing to the fact that- the members were .scat­tered over the prairie, the meetings were thinly attended and much of the interest died out. But a determined few continued to meet as often a* pos­sible, and at the first meeting in 1S73 the following officers were elected:

1J. 1). Barber, Com. T. C. Bell, S. V. C. <!co W. ltlione. J. V. C. M. B. Soule, Adjutant. A.J. Manly, Q. Ai. K. D. Barber, burgeon. B. S. Langdou, Chap. J. C. Goodnow, O. D. J. S. Stone, O. G. Daniel Stone, S. M. B. It. I'rincu. Q. M. S. Things remained very quiet until the

fall of this year (1873,) vvten the Post seemed to take a new lease of power, .aud the headquarters were changed from Miller Hall, where tMey had been previously established, to Masonic Hall, where better accommodations were afforded, and from that time to the present the Post has continued to prosper. At the last meeting ill 1873 the following officers were elected for the ensuing year:

J. A. Town. Commander. T. C. Bell, S. V. C. M. H. Stevens, J. V. C. M. B. Soule, Adjutant. A. J. Stanley, Q. M. H. D. Barber, Surgeon. J. W. Smith, Chap. It. P. Haydenbark, O. D. L. B. Bennett, O. G. The Post has given seve.ral public en­

tertainments, at which the utmost good feeling has prevailed, and which has been the means of raising a small fuud which has been expended in char­ity. It also held public exercises on Decoration Day in the jears 1873 and 1874. On the latter occasion the Post turned out to the number of sixty and listened to a very fine address by com­rade T. C. Bell. During the last quar­ter of the year 1874 the Post was ena­bled to disburse a considerable amount in charity among the ex soldiers, the same having been furnished the Post through the liberality of comrades in the different societies of tlie United States, and for which they will ever be held in grateful remembrance by the many soldier? located in Southwestern Minnesota.

ROSTEK OF fcARLY MEMBERS. The pamphlet was issued in the year

1875, and the roster of members at that time is given as follows: Akins. William B Alley, Jolin Anderson, Clias H Bell, T C Barber, 11 D, M D Bagley, li D Buruliaiu, A W Bnllis.

TIIE POST REVIVED. After a few years interest in the post

seems to have been entirely lost, and it was virtually disbanded until 1883, when, under the inspiration of Judge Advocate L. M. Lange, it was revived A meeting was called at the Worthing ton school house on the evening of July IStb, 1883. There was present at this meeting:

C P Shepard C B Langdon L B Bennett Itobt Firth B F Johnson G W Crane IJ Coons IIC Sliepird Mous Grinager P Banks Wm McLean W W Herrou C T Pope H Hurluurt Wm Madison VV F Thayer .1 H Maxwell

tant, JI. C. Shepard S. Al. an-l O. T. Pope Q, M.S. The post was mustered ami organ­

ized as "Stoddard Post Mo. 34, G. A. !»., Department of Minnesota."

Being reorganized the post started on a new career anil the interest seems never to have abated, lt ha?, now ov«T 120 members, and. in connection with a strong Woman's Itelief Corps and ;i post of tlie Sons of Veterans, it, lakes in most of the town ami may be snid to he the life of the community in some respects, being invaluable as a nucleus and organized force for Deco­ration Day, Fourth of July, etc., aud for no little charitable work.

THE BOAT SERVICE), •Dr. B. D. Churchill, a former Nobles

county man and having many old friendb to meet here, brought his little steamer "Alpha" up from Spirit Lake on a flat car, put it on rollers and launched it into west Okabena lake. It was a lucky thing for the town and the encampment, for the ill-fated cat­amaran was not serviceable and our beautiful Jake would have been with­out adequate boat service but for the timely arrival of Dr. Churchill and his "Alpha."

The Dr. informs us that he is willing to leave the little beauty of a steamer here as long as it will pay. We hope, now that it is in the lake, that a com­pany will be formed to buy it and keep it here.

Since the above was typed, the boiler of the catamaran has arrived and steam was raised yesterday afternoon and several trips made.

Geo. Wright brought twelve row boats from Spirit Lake and Tuesday morning launched them near the camp. All who wish are enjoying a ride on our beautiful take.

SHERIDAN'S BIDE. B. F. Congdon, of Bigelow, in­

forms us that he was at Winchester when the iamous battle of Cedar Creek occurred and Sheridan made hii immortal ride. Sheridan was at

of one of his Colonels, when the "roar and grind" was heard and ordered his orderly to saddle his horse. He was in the saddle before the orderly bad it fastened. The col­onel asked him if he could not wait for breakfast. Sheridan replied that "they were having breakfast enough at the tront" and sped away on his ride, never dreaming of the fame which it would give him.

And in fact it would have remain­ed comparatively unnoticed if the Cincinnati artist and poet, Thomas Buchanan Read, had not taken it up. The history of the poem is as follows: There was a reading announced in Cincinnati for the benefit of the Wo­man's Commission and Murdock was to read. He was passing along the street on the day of the enter­tainment in company with his friend Read. They stopped before a win­dow to look at a picture in Harper's Weekly showing Sheridan's ride Murdock suggested that there was a subject and that if Read would write a poem he would read it that night Read took fire at the suggestion and had the poem finished before night and Murdock read it, creating great enthusiasm.

The above is one of the best illus trations we know of showing how history is made and how immortal poems are struck off.

"SHERIDAN'S RIDE." Sheridan had left Washington on

the morning of Oct. 18, 1864, by train, and passed the night at Win­chester, twenty miles north of the battle field. On the morning of the 10th lie heard the firing of cannon, and sent out to inquire the cause, but was told it came from a reconnois-sance. At nine o'clock he rode leis urely out of Winchester, not dream­ing that his army was in danger. After a little he heard again the sound of heavy guns, and now he knew what it must mean. Not half a mile from Winchester he came upon the appalling marks of defeat and rout. The runaways from battle, still in flight, had got so far as this in their terror. The trains of wagons were rushing by, horses and drivers all in confusion, for there is no worse turmoil in the world than the flight, and wreck of a beaten army. Sheri­dan had never seen his own men in this condition before.

I fe at once ordered the trains to be halted and sent for a brigade of troops from Winchester; these he posted across the load to prevent fur­ther straggling. Then he called for an escort of twenty men, and, direct­ing his staff to stem the torrent as well as they could, he set off himself for the battle field. lie rode straight into the throng of fugitives, in a splendid passion of wrath and deter­mination, spurring his horse and swinging bis hat as he passed and calling to his men: "Face the other way, bo\*s! Face the other way!"

Hundreds turned at the appeal and followed him with cheers, for they all knew Sheridan.

It was ten o'clock before he reach­ed the field. There he rode about hurriedly, glanced at the position and at ouce determined upon his course. He re-arranged the line of those who were still unbeaten, and th^p went back to bring up the panic-stricken remainder. And now his presence and personal influence told. He was in the full uniform of a major-general mounted on a magnificent black horse, man and beast covered with dust and flecked with foam; he rose again in his stirrups, he drew his sword, he waved his hat and shouted to his soldiers: "If I had been here this never would have happened. Face the other way, boys! We are going back!"

The flying soldiers were struck with shame when they heard him shout and saiy his face blazing with rage and courage and eagerness for them. They took his cry themselves, "Face the other way!" It went on from one to another for miles—from crowd to crowd—and they obeyed the command. As the swelling shout went on the surging crowd returned. They faced the other way, and, along the very road which a cowering mob had taken three hours before, the same men marched with the tread of soldiers to meet the enemy. They knew now that they were led to vic­tory.—From "Sheridan in the Val­ley." by Gen. Adam Badeau in St. Nicholas for June.

Poetic Wreaths.

A NEWSPAPER. The ADVANCE last week contained

about 140 separate and distinct home or local items on the home side of the paper. Over 70 of these were from ten to a dozen points about the county, some 23 were items concerning the en­campment, and the rest were Wortl -ington items. This was besides the mill, railroad and other editorials, the real estate transfers and the full school report of nearly a column for the past year, with two reports fromontside schools.

Yet we will venture the suggestion that not a half dozen persons thought "there was much in it" or of the amount of work it took to get it to­gether, or how much it was beyond most country papers (many of which give twice the amount of matter,) in genuine live news and point.

As a subscriber said the other day, "there Is a point.or a 'drive' In every­thing that appears in the ADVANCE. "

In patriotic reverence these lines are dedicated to the Grand Army of the Republic: The nation's enshrouded in mourning to-day.

Our chleftan has gone to his rest, Our lyres are attuned to a funeral lay.

In accord with the grief ol the west.

The hero, the patriot, the statesman lies low, The work <if a lifetime is done,

In submission we yield to the terrible blow. That has stricken our favorite son

Though tears are fast falling, and sorrow sincere. We see far above us his crown;

We know that he lives in a heavenly sphere, He has gone to euduriug renown.

Our sons will remember forever the <lay. That treason was rife in tlie land;

Brave Logan was ready and first In the fray, To paralyze slavery's hand.

On history's pages his name will endure, As soldier, as statesman, and friend,

His purse ever open to calls from the poor, He was loved and esteemed to the end.

May God guide the widow, the pride of his life, She's the idol In palace and cot;

As guardian, as mother, ;«s friend or as wife, Mary Logan will ne'er be forgot.

THE BIVOUAC OF THE DEAD. COL. TUEO. O'lIAKA.

The muffled drum's sad roll lias beat The soldier's last tattoo!

No more on life's p.inde shall meet That brave and fallen few;

Ou fame's eternal camping ground Their silent tents are spread.

And slory guards, with solemn round, The bivouac of the dead.

No rumor of the foe's advance Now swells upon the wind.

No troubled thou**!)'' at midnight haunts Of loved ones left behind.

No vision of to morrow's strife Tlie warrior's dread alarms.

No braving horn or scrcaming life A! dawu shall call to arms.

Tlw'ir shivered swords are red with rust, Their plumed heads are bowed,

Tlieir ii.uinhty buni.cr ir-.iled in dust Is now tlii-ir martial shroud;

Aii'l plenteous funtu-al tears have washed The red stains fr«m each brow:

Ami the prvniil forms by buttle gashed Are free from anguish row.

The nuiKliius t*-«op, the flashing blade, 1 ln-'b tgle'.s slic ing blast;

The chargc. Mie dreadful cannonade, The din and shout are i>a*t.

Nor war s wild note, nor glory's peal. Shall t'Hill with ticrue delight

Tln.se bn-asrs th.u never more may feel The rap ure of the light.

Rest on, embalmed and sainted dead! Dear as the bU»-d ye Kave;

No impious footsteps here shall tread The hurbajre of y. ur grave.;

N>»r shall your t;lory be forgot. While fame her record keens,

Or honor points the Irillowt'd sp t, Where valor proudly sleeps.
