FIRST OBSERVANCE OF DECORATION DAY IN PAGE COUNTY.
The first general observance of Decoration Day in this county took place in 1870, Major Henry O'Connor being the orator of the day. The editor of the Democrat, Mr. N. C. Ridenour, who was an old soldier, in referring to the occasion, said:
" The day is one that will long be remembered, as it was the means of bringing together Page county's noble soldiers, who sustained not only the reputation of our own noble Iowa, but that of our own banner county, Page, which every soldier is proud to say is his own."
The weather was rather unfavorable, but, notwithstanding, there was a very fair turnout. After the preliminary exercises of the day, Major O'Connor delivered the following beautiful and touching address:
Ladies and Gentlemen : We are assembled to-day as citizens of the great republic, to commemorate the patriotic virtues and do honor to the mem- ory of the departed heroes who gave their lives to save it. This-the 30th day of May-the closing day of the spring, when nature has just finished and put on her garment of new life and raiment of green-is now most appropriately consecrated as a national holiday for the sacred memorial services of friendship and love; and, annually, as long as the republic shall live, the sound of cannon, mingled with the sympathizing echoes of the nation, will continue to call the people together around the ten thousand cemeteries of our country, that the flowers of affection, watered with grat- itude's tears, may be strewn on the still green graves of those self-denying patriots who so nobly died that the nation might live, and our country, and our homes be preserved to their children and ours.
" Noble men! peace to your ashes! and may Heaven's richest blessings strew-as thickly and sweetly as over your graves to-day-the pathway through life of all those you left behind that were near and dear to you. Great and true heroes and patriots-authors of a new national life of liberty and law-inaugurators of a new era in government and politics, whose foundations are laid in justice and equality! The memory of thy glorious and unspeakable virtues can never perish! It will survive the crash of empires and the tottering of thrones; it is linked with the life of the republic you saved, and if-which Heaven forbid-the evil hour should come when we shall be no more as a nation, your memory and your names will still survive and be treasured as long as history shall last.
" Of the tens of thousands engaged in the observance of this memorial day all over the land, none can look back with prouder satisfaction on those long years of trial and peril than the people of Iowa. Fair, young, and
522
HISTORY OF PAGE COUNTY.
always true to her national allegiance in the day of the country's peril, she nobly verified the high encomiums of one of her own citizens, that 'The affections of her people, like the rivers of her borders, ever flow to an im- perishable union.' Her response to the nation's call was as generous as it was prompt. During the four years that the rebellion lasted her contri- butions in men to the army were greater than her voting population at the outset of that terrible contest. She sent her men and her boys; father and son from Iowa fought side by side; fathers shared the same crackers on the march, the same blanket in the bivouac, and in more than one instance fell together on the same field. And let it be told, to their eternal honor, that during those tedious years of warfare; those years of strife and blood- shed, the flag of the union was never lost or disgraced by an Iowa regi- ment. On every field, from Wilson's Creek to Winchester, they bore that glorious flag aloft in honor, and, generally, in triumph. They made a record, stereotyped in the best blood of Iowa, that can never, no never, be blotted out. Their deeds illuminate and illustrate American history. You have but to peruse the record of any bloody and hard-fought battle of the rebellion, and you read the history of Iowa valor. These imperishable evidences of their devotion to country and humanity will stand forever. They are Wilson's Creek and Belmont, Donelson and Shiloh, Pea Ridge and Prairie Grove, Iuka and Arkansas Post, Vicksburg and Port Gibson, Alexandria and New Orleans, Chattanooga and Lookout Mountain, Al- toona Pass and Kenesaw, Atlanta and Savannah, Champion Hill and Winchester. There they stand, and there they will stand forever, inde- structible monuments of Iowa valor and virtue. On these bloody fields, and a hundred others, the blood of Iowa men flowed down the same stream with the blood of brave men from other states of the union in a common cause and for a common country. The soil upon which they fought, and where so many fell before them, marked by the footprint of the slave, by that baptism of blood, became consecrated to freedom and the rights of man.
" The flag which has ever been a revered symbol to us of liberty-but, alas, to how many of power without mercy-is now not only a household god in every American home, but the beacon light of liberty to the down- trodden and oppressed of every clime and kindred. When it wasinsulted by treason's sneers, and by traitor hands assaulted, a million of American men sprang to its defense; and to-day, thank God and their devotion to it, floats in triumph over free men, free soil, and free homes, from the At- lantic to the Pacific, and from the Gulf of Mexico to the arctic boundaries of the republic; and beneath its ample folds, over all this broad land, the most imperishable and enduring monuments of the republic are the thous- ands of unmarked, but not unhonored graves of the hero-martyrs who fell in its defense.
523
HISTORY OF PAGE COUNTY.
"From the altars of sacrifice and self-denial, a new nation has arisen, in- spired by a holier sense of justice, based upon the principles of brotherly love-the corner-stone of all true civilization. The stars and stripes to- day float in peaceful triumph, and shelter beneath their folds forty mil- lions of freemen. The clank of the shackle is no longer heard, nor the track of the fugitive any more traced by his bloody footprint. From ocean to ocean, and from gulf to lakes, the atmosphere is fragrant with the air of freedom, and the air resounds with the songs of redeemed mil- lions. With something more fragrant than a feeling of poetic fancy, we may now appropriate, as our own, the elegant apostrophe of the gifted orator and statesman, Curran, to British law :-
" I speak in the spirit of American law, which makes liberty commen- surate and co-extensive with American soil; which proclaims, even to the sojourner and the stranger within our gates, that the ground upon which he treads is holy, and rendered so by the genius of universal emancipa- tion. No matter in what language his doom may have been pronounced; no matter in what disastrous battle his liberties may have been trodden down; no matter what color an Indian or an African sun may have burned upon his brow; no matter upon what alter he may have been offerred up to slavery, the moment he touches American soil, the altar and the god sink together in the dust; his shackles fall from around him; his soul bursts beyond the measures of his chains and he stands forth redeemed, regenerated, disenthralled by the irresistible genius of universal emanci- pation.
" Many graves have been filled; many vacant places around the table and the hearthstone, and alas, many orphans and widows in the land have been made, as the price of this great achievement. But that good God that gave us to see the right, and helped us to do it, will, I hope, enable us to bear the trial and look to Him for our compensation.
"Shall I notice for a moment Iowa's share in this holy sacrifice for lib- erty?
" Southern soil has been sanctified by the graves of 300,000 union sol- diers, and of these 15,000 have been filled with Iowa's offering of men and boys. On every mountain side and hill slope; by the river side and along the coast range; in swamp, and wood, and plain; wherever the rebel flag was raised; on every battle-field of the rebel territory, where the union army met the rebel hosts, there Iowa men fought, and there, also, some of the bravest and best of them fell.
" In that illustrious roll of honor, made up of the living patriots and sol- diers surrounding me here to-day, and their fallen comrades among the heroic dead, Page county, fellow-citizens-to your honor be it spoken- Page county stands first and pre-eminently the banner county of our glo- rious state. That proud record for your country will be as enduring as it

is untarnished; and will remain as long as the state shall last or Iowa have a name among the states of the union. And year after year, on this me- morial day, as you strew flowers with your hands over the hallowed graves of Griffith and Edmondson, and Sidmore and Neff, and Butler, your silent memories will waft flowers of affection, warm from your hearts to the green graves of four hundred and nineteen heroic martyrs whose graves, unknown, but not unhonored, are far away in the soil that with their blood they redeemed from slavery and treason to liberty and justice. Aye, in Page county, my friends, the names of the First Nebraska, the Fourth and Twenty-third Iowa infantry, the Fifth and Eighth Iowa cav- alry, and the Twenty-fifth Missouri infantry, will ever be cherished house- hold words. Language, at least any at my poor command, is wholly inad- equate to a theme like this. No mere tribute of words can do justice to the memory of these men, or even serve to give proper expression to your feelings on such an occasion. The highest eulogy that can be pronounced on the valor and virtue of these now slumbering patriots and heroes is ex- pressed in the character of the audience assembled here to-day.
"Who make up this large assemblage, and how stand they related to the men whose memories they are gathered here to-day to commemorate?
" Here to-day is the surviving comrade, who, on many a long and weary march, and in many a supperless bivouac, divided the hardships and the last ration with the now slumbering hero, by whose side he will march and fight no more, and who, on that last night before the battle, when the one was taken and the other left, shared together the one blanket, and, waking, talked over the perils of the coming day, and mutually entrusted to each other the last words of affection and endearment to the loved ones at home. As he drops a tear on that honored grave to-day, his heart throbs with reverenced pride in the country for which they fought, and to save which his comrade fell.
" Here is the sister,-now a woman -- who, then a little girl, sat upon her soldier brother's knee during his short furlough, home; heard the story of his battles and gave him her sweet kiss and angel prayer, as he went forth to gather new laurels.
" And, here, too, is the little brother, now grown old enough to make the proud resolve that his heart's best affection, and his life, if necessary, shall be given to that country for which his brother died.
" The gray-haired sire is here, who gave his one, two, and in many in- stances, the third, the young Benjamin, his last and best beloved, all to the nation, which Washington and his own father founded; and now goes with bowed and sorrowed head, tottering to the grave without his son's arm to lean upon. Brave old patriot, you are as you should be, the coun- try's ward, and in every returned soldier, at least, you have a friend.
" And here is the mother-still in the prime of life-who pressed her
525
HISTORY OF PAGE COUNTY.
darling for the last time to her breast, as she laid him on the altar of her country -- alas ! to look upon him no more-and, oh, how many of these mothers! I saw one three years ago, her image is before me now. A lady, still in the prime of womanhood, coming into the adjutant general's office at Des Moines, during the summer of 1867, and walking through the room containing the tattered flags of Iowa regiments, arranged . with singular taste and care, by the patriotic Baker, her eye fell on that of the 23d Iowa. She expressed, in subdued tones, the wish that she could touch it. Being assisted to a table from which she could reach the flag, sacred to her mother's heart, she pressed it to her lips, and then, in a voice smoth- ered by her tears, and that wrung tears from every eye present, she ex- claimed: 'My only boy fell under that flag before he was eighteen years of age, and since then his father died broken-hearted for him, and now I am left alone in the world.' "
" Here, too, chief mourner, and bravest heart here, is the bosom friend dearer than all. The young wife, who, on the threshhold, clung to her life's treasure; the father of the babe then in her arms; and as they pressed their lips together on their pledge of their love, with more than Spartan heroism and self-denial, pushed back her tears, and gave her young husband-more than her own life-that the land of her fathers might be saved from treason and rebellion. That babe is here, too, now grown to be almost a man. His love for the flag under which his father fell is forever sealed by his father's blood. These are the nation's care and the true patriot would suffer himself for bread, rather than see them want .
" And, as a fitting climax, these beautiful children from our common schools, the true nurseries of democratic principles, trained by those lady teachers, representatives of that class of American women whose hands and hearts were united in rendering aid to the cause during the rebellion, as the ministering angels of the aid society and the sanitary commission.
" Such, fellow citizens, is the evidence that, in the eloquence of silent sorrow, pronounces a fitting eulogy over the ashes of these departed he- roes to-day. In this tribute we can all join. Standing on the platform of love for our country, which reaches beyond the limits of party and creed, we can reverently join in our admiration of virtue, self-denial and true patriotism. Let us here learn the lesson of love of country and hu- manity. In the language of the martyr patriot, Lincoln: ‘with malice toward none; with charity for all; with firmness in the right, as God gives us to see the right, let us strive on to finish the work we are in; to bind up the nation's wounds; to care for him, who shall have borne the battle, and for his widow and his orphan; to do all which may achieve and cher- ish a just and lasting peace among ourselves, and with all nations.

THE SOLDIERS' REUNION AND DECORATION DAY, 1878.
The great reunion of the soldiers of the southwest, held at Clarinda, May 29, 30 and 31, 1878, was an event long to be remembered by all, and especially those who participated in the happy gathering. We take the following facts relative to the event from the Herald's account of it, pub- lished at the time :
As early as Monday arrivals commenced. Tuesday the needful preparations were made upon the grounds, and a number of tents were erected. Martial music by the Clarinda bands began to stir up the hearts of the patriots. A number of soldiers encamped a few miles dis- tant received a drenching that reminded them of the days that are gone. The rain came in torrents. Wednesday morning came, and the soldiers came, and the people came, and one seemed to be carried back to the be- ginning of the war. The fires of patriotism burned afresh in many hearts; soldiers met who had not seen each other since the struggle was over, and they honorably discharged. At 3 P. M. eight companies of infantry reported and one of cavalry, averaging about sixty each. The following are the companies which reported to the acting adjutant:
Company A, Clarinda-Capt. Damewood.
Company C, Clarinda-Capt. Rawlings.
Company D, Villisca-Capt. Irwin.
Company E, Tarkio township-Capt. Miller.
Company F, Bedford-Capt. Connett.
Company G, Snow Hill-Capt. Palmer.
Company H, College Springs-Capt. Orton.
Company I, Red Oak-Capt. Rogers.
Parks' cavalry company, Bedford-Capt. Parks.
The following bands were in attendance, and acquitted themselves grandly:
Wilkins' cornet band, Bedford.
Villisca cornet band, Villisca.
College Springs cornet band, College Springs.
Keller cornet band and Clarinda cornet band, of Clarinda.
After a few well performed military evolutions on the grounds, an elec- tion of field and staff officers was held, resulting in the election of the fol- lowing officers:
Colonel-W. P. Hepburn, of Clarinda.
Lieutenant Col .- D. H. Hamilton, of Bedford.
Major -- W. W. Ellis, of Villisca.
Adjutant-W. H. Vance, of Clarinda.

Chaplain-J. W. Chaffin, of Clarinda.

Dress parade occurred at 5 P. M., witnessed by a multitude of people.
The following general and special orders were made:
GENERAL ORDER NO. 1.
The field and staff in announcing the discharge of the duties imposed upon them by the kindly compliment of their comrades, and after thank- ing the battalion for its expression of favor, desire to suggest that in the absence of any enforced discipline, it will be necessary that each comrade aids by soldierly bearing to accomplish the object of our encampment- that of renewing old friendships and cementing them, to the enjoyment of all.
J. D. Porter has been appointed sergeant-major of the battalion. Thomas Butts has been appointed chief bugler of the battalion. They will be obeyed and respected accordingly.
W. P. HEPBURN, Colonel Commanding.
W. H. VANCE,
Lieutenant and Adjt.
SPECIAL ORDER NO. 1.
Company commanders will, at the earliest practicable moment, report to their headquarters the full names, age, residence and military history of their respective commands. The military history will include company, regiment, place of enlistment, time of service, ranks, promotions and cam- paigns participated in. The necessity for prompt obedience to this order will be apparent when it is announced that this record will be carefully transcribed and preserved in book form and probably printed.
W. P. HEPBURN, Colonel Commanding.
W. H. VANCE, Lieutenant and Adjutant.
Shortly afterward was guard mount. Then preparations for supper be- gan. Fires were kindled, bacon sides were sliced and adjusted in the pans, and the coffee aroma filled the air. Camp life again came before the vision. After the rations were enjoyed the general social time began. Then followed tattoo, roll call at nine o'clock, and taps at ten.
