Gen. Pratt entered the three months' service as a cor- poral in Company A of the Ninth Indiana, and subse- quently became a captain in an Indiana Cavalry Regi- ment, and soon after the war was tendered a lieutenant's commission in the regular army, and was recently retired under the age limit. For many years he was at the head of the noted Indian School at Carlyle, Pa., and was in fact the originator of the project for the education of the Indian. His life has been an active, useful one, and he is yet a man of much vigor of both body and mind, and of fine military presence.
CAPT. MCCONNELL said: A letter was read in our meeting to-day from Lieut. Bierce of Washington, D. C.,
23
describing a brave but unsuccessful assault by our regi- ment upon a strongly fortified camp of the enemy on Buffalo Mountain, and I will now present to you the man who, as a young officer of the Ninth, led that charge, and who was borne back with a bullet through his lungs by some of his faithful comrades of Company A, who, I believe, are also with us to-night. Capt. Thomas Mad- den is the officer I refer to. Come to the front, Captain.
CAPT. MADDEN said : LADIES AND GENTLEMEN : Capt. McConnell says, "I want you, Madden, to just stand up here and let the folks see you." Well, here I am, and big enough to be seen, I imagine. I didn't come to this reunion to have you folks look at me, or to make a talk, but come here to meet my true and tried old com- rades of the war, and to recall with them some of the fun, as well as some of the fighting, we had to do occa- sionally down in Dixie. We don't want our good com- rades of other Indiana regiments or of other states to feel that the Ninth was the only good regiment in the service. Many of us grew up as boys together, and went into the Ninth together, and we were taught loyalty to our country and flag in our homes and in our old school- houses, and we just like to get together, we fellows who touched elbows in the old Ninth, and just brag on our- selves a little bit, you know, for what we done for Uncle Sam. It pleases us, you know, to talk about what our own boys living and dead done in those days, and we don't mean to be unfair to any other man who wore the blue. We are proud of our state and of our regiment, but we are prouder than of all else that we are all of us Americans first, last and all the time.
I remember quite well the incident my friend, Corporal Pratt-excuse me, General-refers to of the trouble Gen. Tom Morris had in trying to keep our old colonel, Mil- roy, from taking us boys of the Ninth and running away from the rest of the Union army in his anxiety to just "catch up with the Johnnies," which, as he said, were only a "little way ahead of us." Ladies and gentlemen of Logansport, we have been most royally entertained by you, and we are all of us awfully pleased to find our- selves here at this present time.
24
CAPT. McCONNELL said : We don't propose to be ac- cused of doing all our bragging on the Ninth Indiana. My comrades who were at Chickamauga will remember the afternoon of Sunday, when the desperate fighting was going on in front of the Kelly field, how the enemy pushed back our wing and were fast charging down upon our General Hospital in our rear; how, at a critical mo- ment, we saw a General Officer, Thomas, ride into the open, with General Vanderveer's splendid brigade, to make a counter-charge, and eventually succeeded in checking and driving back the Confederates. In that Union brigade was the 87th Indiana, which lost at Chick- amauga more men than any other regiment from In- diana, and to-night we have with us Lieut .- Col. E. P. Hammond of the 87th, who didn't belong to the Ninth Indiana.
COL. HAMMOND: COMRADES: Your chairman says I didn't belong to the Ninth Indiana. This is news to me. I have always supposed I was a lieutenant in Com- pany G of the three months' Ninth. Enlisted in Milroy's own company, and one of my comrades in Company G of the Ninth. William T. Girard was the first Indiana soldier killed in the war. Your fighting colonel of the Ninth lived near me in Rensselaer, and was practicing law there when Sumpter was fired on. The speaker nar- rated the incident of the challenge of State Senator Moody (afterwards colonel of the Ninth) by State Sena- tor Heffron, a secessionist, and of Moody selecting Mil- roy as his second; how Milroy, as second of the chal- lenged party. insisted on a choice of weapons which was distasteful to Heffron, and the duel was never fought, but how Milroy lost his place as a deacon in the Presby- terian church for acting as Moody's second in the pro- posed duel.
Col. H. also told how Robt. H. Milroy, through his father's influence, secured the appointment to a cadet- ship at West Point; how the plucky but awkward west- ern lad was put in the awkward squad, and a spruce drill-sergeant chucked Milroy under the chin, and told him to "raise his chin"; how Milroy raised his right arm
25
and knocked the drill-sergeant sprawling on the campus, and was dismissed from West Point for assaulting his superior officer. How Milroy went to a military school in Vermont, and subsequently raised his strong right arm to aid in crushing out insurrection against the Govern- ment, that sent him away from its military academy. God Almighty never made a braver man than Robert H. Milroy. He was a square, upright man, that hated anything wrong or mean. Col. H. narrated several in- teresting as well as humorous incidents of the three months' campaigning of the Ninth.
I am just returning from the reunion of the 87th. We had a fair attendance and were most handsomely received by the people. And I am pleased to be with the old Ninth in this Campfire. I would just like to know how many of my old comrades of the three months' Ninth are present at this Campfire. Those who served in the Ninth in the three months' call please rise. Seven of you, eh ?
The Ninth Indiana did its full duty as a regiment in the war for the preservation of our Federal Union, and made a record in the great battles of Shiloh, Stone River and Chickamauga that will never be forgotten while this Republic stands. Comrades, you lived in the most im- portant period of the world's history. When stern duty called you did not flinch, or shirk, but acted the part of men, and helped to preserve the government framed by our fathers, and have lived to see this the foremost nation of the earth. Leading all the world as the friend of freedom, humanity and justice.
Comrades, you were men of peace and had all of a soldier's life to learn after your enlistment, but when the war ended and the Union was saved no finer army of soldiers ever trod the face of the earth. And yet almost in a day the astonished people of other lands saw that grand army melt back into the ranks of civil life, and tread the paths of peace. The schooling you received in those three years of soldier life brought out the manhood in you, making you self-respecting, self-reliant and re- liable in all the stations of life. The memory of your courage, loyalty and sacrifices will be an inspiration to manly men for the centuries to come.

Miss Florine DeHart sang very artistically and sweetly a very appropriate solo. Miss DeHart is the talented daughter of Major DeHart, who was the first to enlist in the three months' Ninth at Logansport.
GEN. JAMES R. CARNAHAN was next introduced, and in his inimitable way secured the close attention of his hearers by relating several humorous but apt stories, and then in eloquent words paid high tribute to the valor and loyalty of the Union soldiery.
He said, among other good things: "Some of the scenes of the war for the maintenance of our national supremacy will always be indelibly impressed on the memory of the soldier while this life lasts. So vivid is the impression on the memory, my comrades, that only the finger of death will efface it from memory's tablet.
I can never forget looking into the faces of my men as we stood in line of battle waiting the signal to charge the formidable works on Missionary Ridge, I saw many a brave boy's head bowed on his breast, as he heard those ominous words, "Charge the enemy's works and take them, and hold them at all hazarads." The soldier knew full well just what that order meant, and the face of many a brave boy showed pale through the tan, and smoke, and grime, as he realized to the full the danger of the task he and his comrades must in a few moments undertake to perform. But when the six black muzzles of the signal guns blazed forth in tones of thunder the order to charge I saw those same men grip hard their muskets with a look of heroic determination in their faces, and start on that wild, fierce charge up the moun- tain into the pitiless, cruel storm of shot, shell, cannister, and death-dealing bullets, with only that command "For- ward, Forward," ringing in their ears, till the survivors of that charging line of steel had swept the Confederates from the crest of that cannon-crowned ridge, and the Stars and Stripes had been planted in the place of the Stars and Bars.
A comradeship borne under such surroundings will yield up its ties only in the firm grip of death itself.
Bless God for the calm courage your mother and father
27
gave you, boys as you then were, Thank Almighty God for the noble mother who, with tear-dimmed eyes and a tensely wrung mother heart, kissed you good-bye, and sent you to the front to save your country or nobly die in the attempt. And the brave old father, ever earnest and faithful in the hope that the right would prevail, the father whose loyal blood flowed in your own veins, and whose last words were, "don't be rash, my son, but do your duty when the time comes like a man." And, like men tried and true, you did your duty, and the Re- public lives. May God bless all our comrades of the whole Grand Army of the Union.
The audience rose and joined the G. A. R. Quartette in singing "America," and the Campfire for 1904 was declared closed.

SECOND DAY-FORENOON.
Judge McConnell in the chair.
The Secretary read the list of the members of the association for correction of address, and also the Roster of Survivors for additions and corrections. He urged not only the vice president for each company but any and every member of the association who knew of the death of a comrade of the Ninth to promptly report the fact to the Secretary, and not depend upon some one else to make report; better have half a dozen reports on some death than to have none, and thus fail to pay our last tribute of respect to the memory of a dead comrade of the Ninth.
Letters were read from absent comrades as follows : Gen. I. C. B. Suman; James K. Powers, Superintendent of National Cemetery, Brownsville, Texas; Elias Werts of Marshalltown, Iowa; E. A. Sutton, Siloam Springs, Ark .; B. F. Hentzell of Syracuse, Ind., and others.
The Committee on Resolutions submitted the follow- ing report :
At the eighteenth annual meeting of the Ninth In- diana Veteran Association, began and held at Logans- port, Ind., Oct. 7 and 8, 1904, the following resolutions were adopted :
Resolved, That we have enjoyed immensely this re- union, and that our thanks are due to the good people of Logansport for the hospitable and hearty welcome and entertainment which we have received. It assures us that they still bear us in their hearts as among the first who went out from the old Ninth district to battle for the cause they loved.
That we are grateful to the members of the G. A. R.
29
Glee Club for their music and kindly efforts to make our Campfire the success which it was.
That we are especially indebted to Miss Martha Phi- lena Powell and Miss Florine DeHart for the charming and deliciously rendered solos with which they so kindly entertained us.
Further be it Resolved, That our gratitude is still due for the patient, faithful and marvellously efficient ser- vices rendered to us by our Corresponding Secretary, Hon. A. L. Whitehall, and we can only regret that so excellent service can only be compensated for by this annual expression of our gratitude. And last but not least,
Be it Resolved, That we will always bear in our hearts a grateful remembrance of the charming and hearty wel- come and greeting with which we were met, upon reach- ing the G. A. R. Hall, by the ladies of Logansport, who gave the welcoming hand and pinned upon our breasts the annual badge which the good people had prepared for us, and decked each of us with beautiful flowers.
Resolved, That it is just and expedient that the Service Pension Bill preferred and recommended by the National Encampment of the Grand Army of the Republic be now enacted into a law by Congress, and we most respectfully and urgently ask that it be done. We appeal to our representatives in Congress to use all proper means and influence in their power to procure the speedy passage of that very just measure.
Resolved, That the Secretary be and he is instructed to transmit a copy of this resolution and request to each senator and representative from Indiana.
Resolved, That we urgently recommend to the Legis- lature of the state the adoption of the plans of the meet- ing of the State Encampment held at Warsaw for the erection of a monument to the 700 Indiana dead who now lie in the Andersonville Prison Cemetery.
The foregoing resolutions were adopted by unanimous vote.
30
On motion Valparaiso was selected by unanimous vote as the next place of meeting.
And the following officers were next elected by a un- animous vote :
Gen. I. C. B. Suman, President.
Alex. L. Whitehall, Corresponding Secretary.
Lieut. J. M. Helmick, Recording Secretary.
Lieut. John Banta. Treasurer.
Gen. I. C. B. Suman, Capt. D. B. McConnell, J. N. Holliday, Charles Ketcham and George Williams were elected as members of the Executive Committee.
Vice-Presidents were selected as follows: Band, John W. Jackson. Company A. A. S. McCormick; Co. B, John Vesper; Co. C, Maj. J. D. Braden; Co. D, Jones Grant; Co. E, James McKnight; Co. F, Lieut. Ed. Ephlin; Co. G, John H. Thornton; Co. H, Dan Lynch ; Co. I, Valentine Marks; Co. K, Alpheus Porter.
Chairman McConnell stated that short talks from comrades were now in order. Quartermaster Kelley was asked to recite Sheridan's Ride. After briefly stat- ing the circumstances which gave rise to the poem, Cap- tain Kelley recited "Sheridan's Ride."
Comrade A. S. McCormick being called for, said he had been dubbed in his town (Lafayette), as the "Old Soldier Crank" and that he was not at all offended with his title. He always enjoyed the gatherings of old soldiers and more particularly his own regimental re- union, we had certainly been nicely treated by Logans- port. And he was particularly pleased at meeting so many of the old tried and true comrades of the war. HIe desired to call attention to the fact that Company A was represented in this reunion, by four commissioned officers, Captains Madden and Marshall and Lieuts. Wharton and Ephlin, and that three commissioned
31
officers of Company A had this year answered the last roll call.
He hoped every comrade would make it a point to urge personally or by letter his member of the Legis- lature to vote for an appropriation to build a monument over the 700 Indiana soldiers buried at Andersonville, Georgia.
Major DeHart who served in the 9th and 46th Ind. was next called upon for remarks, and said he was pleased to meet so many old comrades of the Ninth, and that he must say he had never met a body of men in which a broader fraternity existed than among the sur- vivors of the Ninth. He had very cheerfully availed himself of the invitation to enroll himself with the Regi- ment. And felt that he was in point of fact the first volunteer to enroll himself under the first call for troops, in Logansport if not in the state he having signed the first roll presented for Capt. Dunn's Company of the Ninth on the night of April 13, 1861. By request the Major closed by reciting with good dramatic effect, the "Fireman's story of how the Engineer got his scarred face," the engineer being in fact a veteran of the 46th Indiana.
Capt. McConnell presented each survivor of the battle of Chicamauga present, with a copy of the printed re- port of the Indiana Chicamauga Commission.
The dinner hour being now close at hand, and Chap- lain Rifenburg being absent it was decided to omit the Memorial exercises to the memory of members of the regiment who had died during the year last past, in view of the fact there would be a memoir of each in the cur- rent report.
The comrades were charged to rally once again around the Festal Board at Dunn's Hotel, and thus closed the Reunion of 1904.

IN MEMORIAM.
COLONEL GIDEON C. MOODY.
Born in Portland County, New York, October 16, 1832, died at Los Angeles, California, March 17, 1904.
In his early manhood the subject of this sketch studied law in Syracuse, New York, and removed later to Indi- ana about 1852. Gov. Wright appointed him district at- torney of Floyd County and he resided till about 1858 at New Albany, removing to Renselaer, and was in 1860 elected to the state legislature as a republican. In the exciting session in the winter of 1861 he was an uncom- promising unionist.
In April, 1861, he enlisted in the company raised by Robert H. Milroy at Renselaer for the three months' serv- ice within a few hours after President Lincoln called for 75,000 volunteers. The company became Company G of the Ninth Indiana and Milroy was promoted to the colo- nelcy and Moody, who had been his lieutenant, was made captain of the company and as such served in the West Virginia campaign. On the reorganization of the Ninth Regiment for the three years' service Milroy was commissioned colonel and Moody lieutenant colonel. Subsequently Milroy was made brigadier and Moody commissioned colonel of the Ninth Indiana and served as such until August, 1862, when he was mustered out to accept a captaincy in the Nineteenth United States Regu- lar Infantry, and was in command of the Nineteenth Bat- talion at Stone River, and later was made chief muster- ing officer in the field of the Army of the Cumberland.
Resigning his commission in the Regulars in 1864 Col. Moody removed with his family to Yankton, Dakota, and resumed the practice of the law, and in 1878 President Hayes made him one of the supreme judges of the Ter- ritory of South Dakota, serving on the supreme bench until 1883. when he removed to Deadwood and resumed practice of the law. He was also a member of the Con- stitutional Convention of South Dakota and chosen as provisional senator to the United States Senate when the
35
state was admitted and later was elected by the state legislature as United States senator, which position he filled up to 1891, when he withdrew from public life and devoted his time and talents to the legal profession and held a high position as a lawyer of recognized ability up to the time of his death. He was chief counsel of the celebrated Homestake Mine near Deadwood and legal adviser of Senator Hearst, the large mine owner, and since the death of Senator Hearst has been the counselor of his widow in the management of the vast estate of the late senator from California. Senator Moody had an elegant home in Los Angeles during the last few years of his life. While in declining health he spent much of his time in the California home, but was a member of the law firm of Moody, Kellar & Moody of Deadwood, and had large interests and an extensive law practice in South Dakota.
Senator Moody left surviving him his widow and five children, four sons, Charles, Burdett, James and War- ren Moody, all of whom reside in South Dakota. His daughter, Helen E., is the wife of Dr. D. K. Dickenson, chief surgeon of the Homestake Mining Company.
As a soldier, jurist and statesman Senator Moody had many warm admirers, and particularly in the great west.
CAPT. ANDREW J. MARTIN.
Andrew J. Martin died at Huntsville, Ala., November 8. aged 79 years. He was a veteran of the Mexican war and also of the civil war. He was captain of Co. C, Ninth Indiana, he with others enlisting from this county (Elkhart ) in 1861, the regiment encamping at LaPorte. Many of his comrades are residents of this vicinity. Though an Ohioan by birth, he came to Elkhart County along in the '50s, and after the war he removed to Ala- bama, where he resided and died. He visited his com- rades and relatives here in the summer of 1902. His wife survives him.

Texas, in Sep- tember, 1865.

Lieut. Lennon after his return from the war was en- gaged in business at Delphi, Ind., until he removed to Indianapolis in 1877, where he engaged in the insurance business until failing health caused him to seek with his
37
family the milder climate of East Tennessee, settling permanently in the city of Knoxville, where he died sud- denly at the date above stated from an apoplectic stroke.
Lieut. Lennon actively assisted in the organization of the Veteran Association of the Ninth, of which he was a member up to the date of his death. Though unable to attend the later reunions of the regiment on account of distance from the meeting place and ill health.
He was for many years active in the fraternity of Odd Fellows and a member of Robert N. Hood Post No. 28, Department of Tennessee, G. A. R. His comrades of the Grand Army and his brothers in Odd Fellowship jointly officiated at his funeral.
