OUR REGIMENTAL ASSOCIATION.
To perpetuate memories and friendships formed under the pressure of common danger and in many instances bathed in and cemented by the blood of the parties, the survivors of the Hundredth Regiment have organized an associa- tion which holds a reunion each year, which has served to keep alive these memories and has been the cause of great good. The first Reunion was held Nov. 25, 1886, at Kendall- ville. Ten of these Reunions have been held and the IIth is to be held at Kendallville in 1896. They are well attended and the body of men who were members of the Tooth compare favorably with those of any society socially and intellect- ually.
At these reunions the utmost good feeling and fellowship prevails. The wives of the sol- diers, who as a body of womanly matrons have no superior socially or patriotically, aided by the Woman's Relief Corps and the good people where the reunions are held, always have pre- pared a bountiful repast where all are welcome to the refreshments provided.
The talented and refined sons and daughters of the old Veterans always have an interesting program for the evening's exercises embracing
424
vocal and instrumental music, patriotic songs, set to National airs and humorous and dramatic recitations.
Miss Isa Lloyd Upson.
The daughter of the regiment, adopted November 25th, 1886.
At the first reunion Miss Upson was adopted as the daughter of the Regiment at the age of six years. She possesses dramatic talent and with the assistance of the sons and daughters of the old soldiers, many of whom also possess rare talent, the entertainments are rendered first class. These exercises are usually inter- spersed with an address by some member which renders the reunions beneficial and highly en- tertaining. It is to be hoped that when the last gray haired Veteran has gone the way of all the earth that these reunions will be perpetuated by their sons and daughters and their descendants.
