At a meeting of the citizens of Keithsburg on April 15, 1865, H. S. Scott was made chairman and O. Holland, secretary. Reverend Fiske, Reverend Stuart and B. D. Ellett were appointed to draft resolutions expressive of the grief of the community over the assas- sination of President Lincoln. While the committee was preparing the resolutions the meeting accepted as satisfactory the explanation given by J. A. J. Birdsall concerning certain remarks made by him upon receipt of the intelligence that the President had been assas- sinated. They also passed the following preamble and resolution :
Whereas, On receipt of the sad intelligence of the assassination of the President and attempted murder of the secretary of state, Walter J. Pepper declared that he felt more like firing a salute of rejoicing than hanging out black crape; and,
Whereas, The said W. J. Pepper has positively refused to explain or take back what he said ; therefore,
Resolved, That we, the citizens of Keithsburg, unqualifiedly dis- approve and condemn the course taken and the sentiments expressed by the said W. J. Pepper and look upon him as indorsing the assas- sination of the man whose loss the whole nation mourns; and that we withdraw from him all our sympathy and support and determine to discountenance him as a traitor and murderer at heart.
After remarks by members of the committee and others, the meet- ing adjourned to meet again on next Monday evening. On that occasion the resolutions adopted recited the high character and great accomplishments of the murdered President. All resolved to wear badges of mourning for the next fifteen days, that appropriate funeral services be held, that Reverend Fiske be requested to preach at the funeral services, and that it was the wish of this meeting that on that occasion all business houses be closed.
The war being over, all that was left was to receive the gallant soldiers-welcome them to the homes they had secured and made

sacred by sacrifices and bloodshed. The One Hundred and Second returned in June. Squads were formally received at McHard's Grove, Perryton, Berlin, Aledo, Keithsburg, New Boston, Viola, Ohio Grove, Sugar Grove, Millersburg, North Henderson and other centers of population. These reception ceremonies were enacted during the remainder of the year 1865 as fast as the soldiers were mustered out and came back to their friends and homes. Nearly all of the receptions were tinctured with sadness at the thought of the vacant chairs and the broken-hearted wives, mothers and sisters whose dear ones slept in perhaps unknown graves after weeks of terrible suffering.
The 4th of July, 1865, was celebrated with a spirit and earnest- ness never before witnessed in Mercer County. The war was over, slavery was forever dead, the Union was saved, the soldier boys were at home or on their way home, and why not forget all differences, shout for the flag and unite in praise to God? it was asked. A great celebration was held at Atchison Grove, on which occasion special honor was extended to the soldier boys. The committee on arrange- ments were J. W. Stewart, O. C. Richardson, J. C. Pepper, J. P. Wycoff and William A. Lorimer.
A convention of the G. A. R. was held at Aledo, October 23, 1866, on which occasion delegates from all the posts of Mercer County were present-Aledo, Keithsburg, New Boston, Ohio Grove and Pleasant Hill. The object was the organization of this district and the election of the necessary officers. The committee on credentials, one from each post, were as follows: Mannon, Clay, Gilmore, Primley and Lorimer. The following officers were elected to serve until January 1, 1867: Col. I. McManus, district commander; S. D. Paxton, assistant adjutant general; Capt. L. D. Phelps, district quar- termaster. W. D. Craig was chairman of this convention. Twenty- one delegates participated in the convention.
In January, 1879, there were living in the county the following soldiers of the Black Hawk war: Benjamin F. Brown, Notley Scott, Robert Simms, Swade Garrett, James Garner, B. S. Cunningham, R. H. Spicer, Abraham Crabtree and Foreman Moore.
The most notable reception of soldier boys in the county was the grand military review held at Keithsburg, September 21, 1865, in honor of Gen. Warren Shedd. Hundreds of soldiers were present, and as they marched in splendid order through the packed streets they were greeted with thundering cheers from a. grateful people. Over thirteen companies were represented at this memorable review.

Keithsburg did all that was necessary to make the occasion one never to be forgotten by the participants and witnesses.
In 1875 a movement to effect a permanent organization of the old soldiers of the county was inaugurated, but at the first called meeting in Bank Hall only three townships were represented, owing to rain. At the second meeting, held August 12, 1875, ten townships were represented by delegates. W. P. Morgan, N. P. Smith, H. B. Frazier, J. E. Harroun, D. M. Candor, W. E. Ellsworth, W. O. Dungan, D. T. Hindman and J. Y. Merritt were appointed a com- mittee on permanent organization. While they were preparing their report the subject of a county soldiers' monument was discussed. The committee reported the following permanent organization :
Maj. D. W. Sedwick, president; J. E. Harroun, vice president ; Capt. E. B. David, secretary; L. B. Doughty, assistant secretary; J. E. Gilmore, treasurer. The committee recommended the follow- ing name for the organization: "Soldiers and Sailors' Association of Mercer County." It was provided that a reunion should be held October 15th; that a committee of two from each township, one soldier and one citizen, should be appointed to solicit funds for the erection of a soldiers' monument to cost $20,000; that a committee be appointed to draft a constitution and by-laws. The following persons were appointed the soliciting committee: North Hender- son-William Brown and Joshua Bruner; Rivoli-A. P. Petrie and A. J. Streeter; Richland Grove-J. B. Rathbun; Suez-J. W. Page and B. W. Mclaughlin; Greene-H. B. Frazier and B. F. Morey; Preemption-William Hammond and W. C. Gray; Ohio Grove- J. W. Sidwell and Joseph Carns; Mercer-Thomas Merryman and John Holmes; Perryton-John Montgomery and Graham Lee; Abington-Alvah Jay and Frank Strong; Millersburg-J. M. War- wick and John T. McGinnis; Duncan-T. H. Jones and Martin Boyd; Keithsburg-Henry Weaver and George Whiting; New Bos- ton-William A. Wilson and A. D. Keeler; Eliza-L. B. Noble and J. J. Huston. The secretary was instructed to communicate with marble workers and get prices and designs. At this meeting Eli Detwiler served as chairman and E. B. David and L. B. Doughty as secretaries.
On October 15, 1875, the old soldiers again formed into ranks and marched to the courthouse yard, where the representatives of each regiment selected a member who gave an account of the battles and skirmishes through which their flags had passed. Among the other speakers were Rev. S. Brink, Rev. Robert Nourse and Hon. A. J. Streeter. The field officers of the old soldiers' organization
137
PAST AND PRESENT OF MERCER COUNTY
were D. W. Sedwick, colonel; Stephen Brink, lieutenant-colonel ; A. P. Petrie, major ; W. O. Dungan, adjutant. The monument com- mittee appointed were Joshua Bruner, A. J. Streeter, W. E. Griffin, Thomas Likely, H. B. Frazier, W. C. Gray, J. N. Markee, Hiram Parkman, William Doak, John McClure, J. T. McGinnis, E. M. Castle, C. C. Wordin, L. H. Scudder and J. Y. Merritt.
It was at this time that the Soldiers' Association organized a centennial brigade to take part as such in the centennial services during the coming year. They made full preparation, ordered uni- forms and arms and effected subordinate organizations in all parts of the county. During the public services of 1876, in commemora- tion of the founding of the Republic, they were present at all the ceremonials and were received with unbounded enthusiasm.
The committee on monument kept steadily at work and had col- lected means enough by the latter part of 1877 to commence work on the shaft. Bids were called for and the contract was finally awarded to W. W. Webster, of Muscatine. It was admitted that Capt. E. B. David did more to make the monument movement a success than any other individual. Finally the shaft was brought here and preparations on a grand scale for its appropriate unveiling on July 4, 1878, were made. It was put in place late in June and the ground was sodded and prepared. The Village of Aledo did all that was necessary to make the occasion a notable success. A double arch was erected at College Avenue and Seventh Street and a single arch at College Avenue and Fifth Street. Two twelve- pound howitzers were secured from the Rock Island Arsenal ; also a squad of artillerymen who knew how to use them.
The Fourth was ushered in with salutes from the cannon and soon afterward the delegations began to arrive. It was estimated that between fifteen and twenty thousand people were present. They came from all the surrounding counties to hear General Logan speak and witness the unveiling. It was the largest assemblage of people ever in the county up to that time. Mr. Frick was chief marshal. During the forenoon all was bustle and confusion incident to the arrivals, but after dinner order was secured. The grand parade took place at 1.30 P. M. and was as follows :
I. Chief Marshal Frick and aids.
2. Alexis Martial Band of Keithsburg.
3. Officers of the day.
4. Viola Cornet Band.
5. Thirty-eight young ladies of Viola in one wagon, driven by a lady.
138

6. Detachments of soldiers.
7. The artillery squad from Rock Island.
8. Aledo Light Guard Band.
9. Orators, monument committee, etc.
IO. Soldiers of 1812, Mexico and soldier guests.
II. Secret societies.
12. Aledo fire and ladder companies.
13. Aledo ladies representing the thirty-eight states.
14. New Windsor Cornet Band.
15. Delegations of citizens.
At the conclusion of the parade the great audience assembled at the grand stand. Order was called by Col. J. M. Mannon and a committee of ten was appointed to solicit funds to be applied on the monument debt. The exercises then were opened by the Viola Cor- net Band, followed by a prayer by Rev. O. W. Van Osdel and music by the Aledo Light Guard Band. The Declaration of Independence was read by Hon: J. C. Pepper. An octette led by Alexander Woods then sang "Wrap the Flag Around Me Boys." Gen. John A. Logan then delivered one of his best and most eloquent orations, one of superior logic, patriotism and eloquence, which address was pub- lished in full in the Aledo Record. At the conclusion of his address the monument was unveiled amid the deafening cheers of the multi- tude. Music by the bands and a national salute by the artillery closed the day's proceedings. On the grand stand during the services were John Rainey and Father Moore, who had served in the War of 1812. At night fireworks were set off from the roof of the county office building. General Logan refused to take pay for his services, nor would he allow his expenses to be paid. At this time there was yet uncollected on the monument subscription $600, and an addi- tional debt of $525 to be provided for. Aledo raised about five hundred dollars to cover expenses, of which about one hundred dol- lars was left on hand ; this was turned over to the monument fund.
On June 8, 1883, pursuant to call a meeting of old soldiers was held at the Ancient Order United Workmen Hall, Aledo, for the purpose of organizing a post of the Grand Army of the Republic. Forty-three were present and many came from a considerable dis- tance-Joy, Viola, Sunbeam, Millersburg, Perryton and other points. Special Mustering Officer J. O. Anderson and eleven comrades of Ellsworth Post at Oquawka came to institute the post and install the officers, all of which was done to the satisfaction of the old soldiers of this county present. The new post was called Warren Shedd Post, No. 262, Department of Illinois, Grand Army of the
