The original cost of the monument was more than $200,000. Of this sum $27,000 came from soldiers and sailors of the Union, $8,000 being contributed by colored soldiers. Sixty thou- sand Sunday school children contributed $20,- 000. The State of Illinois appropriated $77.000; the State of New York, $10,000; Missouri, $1,000; Nevada, $500. The balance was made up by contributions from schools, churches, benevolent societies and individual citizens of all the States in the Union. -

By Act of May 18, 1895, the General Assem- bly accepted the proposition of the Lincoin Monument Association for the transfer of the monument and grounds to the State. The Act of acceptance carried an appropriation of $34,- 500; $2.500 for the erection of a custodian's cottage upon the grounds, $2,000 for the cus- todian's saiary, and $30,000 for "preserving, re- pairing and beautifying said grounds and monu- ment and approaches thereto." The Act created a Board of Commissioners consisting of the Governor. the Superintendent of Public Instruc- tion and the State Treasurer. to whom was committed tie care and custody of the monu- ment and grounds.

Jniy 9th of that year. at a publle meeting held in the Hall of Representatives, Hon. Richard

J. Oglesby, then the only surviving member of the Lincoln Monument Association (now de- ceased), made an eloquent address and trans- ferred to Governor Altgeld, as the chief execu- tive of the State, pledging it to the duty of gnarding and caring for the last resting place of the illustrious dead.

At the time of its transfer to the State and for some years previous, the monument had shown alarming signs of disIntegration, and in the spring of 1899 Governor Tauner, after re- ceiving reports of experts sent to inspect the structure, addressed a message to the Forty- first General Assembly, calling attention to the condition of the monument and urging the neces- sity of an appropriation to repair or rebuild it. The foundation and walls of the terrace sur- rounding the shaft had settled materially and unequaliy and the floor of the terrace was found to be out of level. drawn apart and cracked, owing to unequal settlement of the walls. Governor Tanner recommended that the monument be taken down, the foundations removed and that the entire area covered hy the structure be excavated to the solid rock. Ile commended its design and suggested that it be rebuilt in the same form and that the sum of $100,000 be appropriated for this purpose. The entire recommendation was acted upon favorably by the Forty-first General Assembly. An appropriation of $100,000 was made and the work of restoration began November 11, 1899. A temporary vault was built on the grounds, to which the caskets containing the remains of President Lincoin and his family were com- mitted on the tenth of May, 1900.

Upon the completion of the catacomb April 24. 1901. the bodies of the family were taken from this temporary vault and placed in the crypts designed for their receptlon; the casket contalning President Lincoin's body was placed in the marbie sarcophagus in the center of the catacomb, which it occupied first In 1871. A large number of distinguished men, some of whom had known Mr. Lincoln in life, were present on this occasion. The work of rebuild- ing the mounment was finished June 1, 1901.

At the suggestion. and under the direction of lIon. Robert T. Lincoln, the Board of Con- trol had a cemented vault made beneath the floor of the catacomb, and in this vault the hody of President Lincoln was piaced Septem- ber 26, 1901, there to remain forever in the

Springfield and Sangamon County are in- timateiy identified with the history of the Grand Army of the Republic, as it was here that was first conceived the idea of creating a charitable and patriotic association, consisting of men who had served in the Union Army or Navy during the Civil War and been honorabiy discharged therefrom. To Dr. Benjamin F. Stephenson, for- meriy of Menard County, but during a part of the war, Surgeon of the Fourteenth Iliinois In- fantry, and iater for a time a citizen of Spring- fieid, has been awarded the credit of suggesting such an organization, and in carrying the pian into effect he had the cooperation of a number of veterans of Sangamon and adjoining counties. Among these were Rev. William J. Rutledge (who had been Chaplain of the Regiment to

which Dr. Stephenson belonged, and was a man of strong character), Col. John M. Snyder, Maj. Robert M. Woods, Dr. James Hamilton, Col. Edward Prince (of the Seventh Illinois Cav- airy and a participant in the famous Grierson raid of 1863), Capt. John A. Lightfoot, Maj. A. A. North, and others. After a number of con- ferences, a constitution, by-laws and ritual were adopted, and the first post finally incorporated at Decatur, Ili., April 6, 1866, consisting of twelve charter members, all of whom-with one exception-had been members of Illinois regi- ments. While this post went out of existence- or rather was reorganized, changing its num- ber-it was recognized as the first post organ- ized in the whoie country, there being now a number of organized posts in every State in the Union, inciuding the Southern States.

POSTS IN SANOAMON COUNTY .- According to the Report for the Grand Army Department of the State of Illinois, for the year 1911, there are now six Posts in Sangamon County, of which two are located in the city of Springfield, and four in other towns or villages. The names of each are here given, with number, location, date of charter and membership.

Stephenson Post, No. 30, Springfield; char- tered August 24, 1878; members, 241.

Morgan Post, No. 208, Illiopolis; chartered March 21, 1883; members, 13.

J. W. Dodds Post, No. 370, Auburn; char- tered November 24, 1883; members, 23.

A. J. Weber Post, No. 421, Pawnee; chartered May 4, 1884; members, 27.

Bross Post, No. 578, Springfield; (date of charter not given) ; members, 10.

J. Vierborne Post, No. 613, Buffaio; chartered January 14, 1887; members, 11.

The last Post organized in Illinois is the Thomas J. Henderson Post, No. 799, chartered January 18, 1911, in connection with the Soi- diers' Home at Danviile, thus marking the totai number of Posts established in Illinois. Accord- ing to the iast report (1911) the totai number of Posts stili in operation in the Department of Illinois was 503-a reduction of four in the previous year-with a membership of 16,364. The loss by death and otherwise during the year had been 820.

Major James A. Connolly, of Stephenson Post, No. 30, of Springfield, was Commander of the Department of Illinois for the year June, 1910, to June, 1911.

HISTORY OF SANGAMON COUNTY

MEMORIAL DAY .- The pian for the annuai ob- servance of Memoriai Day, in honor of deceased soldiers of the Civil War, was established by Gen. John A. Logan, in 1870, while serving his third consecutive year (1868-70), as Commander- in-Chief of the order. Of this act Department Commander Connoiiy, in his address before the Forty-fifth Annual Encampment at Joliet, June 13, 1911, said :

"The touching custom appealed so strongiy to the affections of the people, that it has crys- taiiized into law, both Nationai and State, whereby suspension of business is proclaimed and it has become the Patriot's Sabbath. Its observance for the purpose for which it was es- tabiished is so weli fortified by public opinion, and has become so general, that we may hope for its perpetuity ; but while we live and the Grand Army exists, it becomes us to set our faces iike fiint against any and aii efforts to iower its iofty purpose by consenting to its nse for money making or business advertising purposes.

"Give it over to the honor of the sleeping dead who offered their lives for their country's wei- fare: thus may be kept in perpetuai memory the story of what it cost to make this Republic the home of the free, and show to coming gen- eratlons that the humbie grave of the brave ioyai soidier comes nearer the heart of the na- tion than the spiendid mausoleum of the mii- iionaire."

Farther on, in recognition of the service ren- dered by auxiliary organizations in the effort to prevent certain business organizations from obtruding into the proper observance of this soiemn anniversary, Major Connoily says :

"In our stern resolve to preserve this day for its established purpose, we have the heip- fui assistance and encouragement of the Wom- an's Relief Corps, our valued auxiliary; the Ladies of the Grand Army; the Daughters of Veterans; the Sons of Veterans; the Spanish War Veterans, and aii good citizens whose iove of country is not swallowed up in their greed for gain."

AUXILIARY ORGANIZATIONS .- Of minor associ- ations, which are regarded as auxiliary to the Grand Army, there are several in the city of Springfield, the most prominent being two or- ganizations of the "Woman's Relief Corps," and a like number of the "Ladies of the Grand Army of the Republic," the first group including

the Stephenson Woman's Relief Corps, No. 17, instituted in 1885, and the John R. Tanner Circie, No. 54; and the second group, the Amer- ica Circie, No. 9, Ladies of the G. A. R., and the G. W. Reed Circle, No. 74.

Both of these organizations were represented at the Grand Encampment of the G. A. R. heid at Joiiet June 13-15, 1911, and in an address made by Mrs. Anna Patterson, President of the Woman's Relief Corps Department, she esti- mated the membership of that organization in the State at "12,138 earnest, patriotic women, whose one desire is to assist in caring for the Union veteran and his dependent ones, and to spread the gospel of patriotism throughout the iand." Of the work having been accomplished by the Corps Mrs. Patterson furnished the foliowing estimates.

Of the sum expended during the preceding year, a part went to the benefit of the Soidlers' Widows' Home at Wilmington, a part to the Soldiers' Orphans' Home at Normai, and a smali portion to the Soiiders' and Saiiors' Home at Quincy. Of 2,499 persons aided by these gifts, 536 were comrades, the rest going to the benefit of soidiers' famiiles.

A committee of the Daughters of Veterans was aiso admitted to this Encampment and pre- sented to the Commander $100 for the benefit of the Department.

The Department Commander, in recognition of the aid rendered by these organizations, in his address said :

"Our spiendid auxiliary, The Woman's Re- lief Corps, as ever, is entitied to our warmest thanks for their active, inteiiigent, increasing good work in aid of the Grand Army of the Republic. Undisturbed by factionai jealousies in their own ranks, their whole time and effort is devoted to aiding the Grand Army, like the women in war time, who devoted their needies, thelr thoughts, their hopes and prayers to the boys in the fieid.

"Nor can we faii to remember and recognize the Ladies of the Grand Army and the Daugh- ters of Veterans, who, each in their own way,

. are so helpful and encouraging to the Grand Army, and whose presence at our Encampments serves so well to soften, brighten, cheer and encourage us."

SONS OF VETERANS .- There is one organization of the Sons of Veterans lu the city of Spring- field, viz. : McClernand Camp, No. 4, organized in 1909.

DAUGHTERS OF THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION.

(By Mrs. Edward S. Waiker.)

The Springfield Chapter, Daughters of the American Revolutlou, was organized June 14, 1894, by Mrs. Charies V. Hickox, who had beeu appointed Chapter Regent, by Mrs. Samuel H. Kerfoot, of Chicago, State Regent of Iilinols. The objects of the chapter are the same as those of the National Society, organized four years previously :

1st. To perpetuate the memory of the spirit of the men and women who achieved American Independence, by the acquisition and protection of historical spots, and the erection of monu- ments; by the encouragement of historicai re- search in relation to the Revolution and the publication of its resuits; by the preservation of documents and relics, and of the records of the individual services of Revolutionary soi- diers and patriots, and by the promotion of celebrations of ail patriotic anniversaries.

2d. To promote, as an object of primary im- portance, institutions for tile general diffusion of knowledge.

3d. To cherish, maintain, and extend the in- stitutions of American freedom, to foster true patriotisin and love of country, and to aid in securing for mankind all the biessings of liberty.

The charitabie work of to-day, which stands among the absolutely good acts of the race, is largely carried on by women, and, in the hands of the women of America, patriotic undertak- Ings have never failed. The Springfield Chap- ter took the initiative in raising funds for re- lief work during the Spanish-Americau war, Resulting from a Grand Military Concert, un- der the direction of Mrs. E. Huntington Henkle and Mrs. Hickox, and an aifresco entertainment at the home of Mrs. Henkle, nearly $1,000 was given for this laudable object. The chapter has aided generously In the work of the Juve- nlle Court; the Mckinley Monument Associa-

tion; the Lincoln Farm Association; the school at Rome, Ga., for the Southern mountaineers; and in the erection of the new Y. M. C. A. building. The proceeds from a Colonial, Revo- lutlouary War, and Indian reiics entertainment, netted over $200 for. this purpose. Memorial Continental Hall, situated in the heart of the National Capital City, stands as the first in the world to be constructed by women to com- memorate a war-a crowning memorial to the men and women of the American Revolution, to the great leaders, Washington and Lafayette, as well as to the Continentals in ragged regi- mentals. The Springfield chapter contributed over $500 toward the erection of this building, which contains an Illinois room completely fur- nished by the D. A. R. of the State, the plau for which originated with the Springfield Chapter.

The chapter has, upon several occasions, given the program before the Woman's Club of the city, where in song and story, as well as in brilliant tableaux, the early days of our history have passed in review, thereby teaching lessons of patriotism. Illinois can ciaim but one spot in the State enriched by Revolutionary war history. Around old Fort Massac, situated on the Ohio River near the city of Metropolis, cluster historic memories heroic as those which enrich any page of our western annals. Fort Massac was built by the French Government in the latter part of the seventeenth century. During the short period that Spain was in pos- session of the Northwest Territory, Fort Massac was occupied by Spanish soldiers, but in 1765 was surrendered to the Engiish. Here, in 1778, Gen. George Rogers Clark and his band of one hundred aud sixty-four followers rested on their way to the capture of Kaskaskia; here the flag of the new Republic was first unfurled in Iiiinois.

Through an act of the State Legislature, this beautiful, historic place has become the prop- erty of the Commonwealth. It was fitting that the D. A. R. should take an active interest in building a monument at this piace, which is now completed and will ever stand an object lesson to coming generations of Illinoisans, to remind then of what George Rogers Clark did for the nation-for Virginia, for Kentucky, for Illi- nois, and the whole Northwest. The Spring- field Chapter rendered most efficient service in promoting the passage of the bill before the

Legislature, and in contributing toward the erection of the monument, the work of the D. A. R. of Illinois. To Mrs. Matthew T. Scott, President General of the National Society, be- iongs the credit of having conceived and pro- moted the pian for a State park surrounding the monument.

During the past year the chapter has heen working along the lines of patriotic phiian- thropy, having organized the Society of The Children of the Republic. Socialiy, the Spring- fieid Chapter has ever heen among the leaders of the ciubs in the capital city. For many years the chapter has met annuaily at the Lincoin Home upon the anniversary of the hirth of Lincoln, Springfield's most illustrious citi- zen. It was fitting that the centenniai of the birth of Abraham Lincoln should he remembered by the D. A. R. of Springfieid. The city was the Mecca for men and women from ail parts of our country. Invitations had been issued to every nationai officer in our organization, and to every Chapter Regent in the State. The home of Lincoin was the scene of a memorable gathering. Many distinguished men and women from the State and nation were guests of the chapter. The guests were received by Mrs. A. S. Edwards, the hostess of the home; Mrs. Robert T. Lincoln, Mrs. Charles S. Deneen, Mrs. Donald McLean, Mrs. Matthew T. Scott, Mrs. C. V. Hickox, Mrs. W. J. Bryan, Mrs. . Waliace Deiafieid, and Mrs. 'Samuei Mcknight Green, and were presented hy the Chapter Regent, Mrs. E. S. Walker. Greetings were ex- tended from France and Great Britain hy Am- bassadors Jusserand and Bryce, and from the N. S. D. A. R. by Mrs. McLean. Many of the decorations in the dining room were once used by the Lincoln family ; the iadies in charge were descendants from personai friends of Mr. Lin- coin, severai nieces of Mrs. Lincoin heing among the numher, making the room repiete with his- toric interest. Following the reception a han- quet was given by the chapter in the new Y. M. C. A. building. The decorations were most beautiful and were in keeping with the day; hundreds of carnations and iights from innu- merahle candies, with the brilliant costumes of the ladies, made a scene never to he for- gotten. At the post-prandiai ceremonies, Mrs. Waiker served as mistress of toasts. Toasts were responded to as follows: "The State D. A. R.," hy Mrs. C. V. Hickox ; "Lincoln," hy

Mrs. Scott; "Mary Todd Lincoln," hy Mrs. Bryan; "The Soldiers of the Sixties," by Mrs. Jessie Paimer Weher; "The Day We Celebrate," by Mrs. McLean.

Among the guests were Mrs. Richard J. Ogies- hy, wife of former Governor Ogieshy; Mrs. John R. Tanner, aiso the wife of an ex-Gov- eruor; Mrs. B. H. Ferguson, granddaughter of Illinois' Territorial and second State Governor ; Mrs. Rhoda Bisseii Thomas and Mrs. Weber, daughters of former Governors of the State; Mrs. Arthur Huntington,, granddaughter of Hon. Jesse K. Duhois, State Auditor in the days of Lincoiu's puhiic iife.

Mrs. Charies V. Hickox, a member of the chapter, has served two terms as State Regent of the organization : Mrs. Edwin S. Walker two terms as State Vice-Regent, and two terms as State Historian. The Chapter Regents serving during the time have heen: Mrs. C. V. Hickox, Mrs. Harriet R. Tayior, Mrs. Charies Ridgely, Mrs. Edwin S. Waiker, Mrs. E. Huntington Henkle, with Mrs. Harriet Paimer Crabbe act- ing Regent, Mrs. Eleanor Washington Frazee, Mrs. George K. Hail, and Mrs. James H. Pad- dock the present Regent. .

SOME REVOLUTIONARY REMINISCENCES .- The 19th of October, 1911, was the 130th anniver- sary of the surrender of Lord Cornwailis, which brought to a ciose the seven iong years of war hetween England and the Colonies, and the Sons and Daughters of the American Revolution of Springfield celebrated this day in a historic manner.

After diligent research it had been ascertained that twenty-four Revolutionary soldiers were buried in Sangamon County. It was at once fittiug that the descendants of men and women who achieved American Independence should recaii in honor the names of these Revolutionary patriots' names which otherwise would in time be forgotten. A bronze tahiet was piaced up- on a stone column at the south entrance of the Court Ilouse, upon which was engraved the names of these twenty-four men who rendered . efficient service in the war for Independence. Some had long siept in undistinguished graves beneath the roots of tangied weeds in country grave-yards, others where tottcring siabs of siate still mark their last resting piace, while other names are perpetuated by stately monuments erected hy living descendants.

The unveiling ceremonies were held in the

(By Mrs. John M. Palmer.)

Having been a resident of this city since my birth, and familiar with its growth, I have been asked to prepare an articie upon its charities. It is a broad subject, to which justice can hardiy be doue within the limits assigned, I shall, therefore, mention in this connection only those not included within the scope of frater- nal societies, which wiii doubtiess recelve no- tice in their proper place.

One of my earliest recollections is of the "Dorcas Society," composed of good women, members of the various churches (for denomi- national lines were then neither so many, nor so closely drawn as now), who combined thelr strength and labor for the benefit of others less fortunate. I recail distinctly how we children were taught to take ali possible care of our clothing so that, when outgrown or from any cause laid aslde, it might be in a condition to benefit others, and can recall the garments thus repaired or made over. Of course, destitution, such as now exists in large cities, was unknown, but occasionally the now-forgotten "prairie schooner," slowly propelied by jaded horses or faithful oxen on Its way to the then Far West, was stranded because of the black richness of our fertile soil or the slender finances of the emigrant gave out, and many a poor woman or sick chiid was relieved and ciothed, while the discouraged husband and father tarried long enough to earn a few dollars with which to begin anew the quest for home and riches. He was the "mover" whose restiess ambition and wandering spirit characterized the pioneers of this new territory, and to whom we are indebted · for present enjoyment and prosperity.
