Steps to permanently organize Lyo- con Pos', No. 19, Dpt, of Ka: sas, were taken by Comrades resident here, tarly in the year 1880.

We are indebted to Comrade Downs for a complet- record of these first meetings, as he was chosen by Com- rade Whintey to serve as the first Ad- jut int.
The place of meeting in these days was the Averill Hall over D F. Coon's Clothing Store; they afterward met in a ball over Horace Clark's Hardware Stor; in 1885, they were able to « ceupy the present G. A. R. HIall in Mr. Ilowe's building.

There are about one-hundred old Sol- diers residing in the township, but we have members in Olivet, M-Ivern, Agency, Junction and Fairfax town- ships, who gatt er with us at different times dur ng the year.
While we decorate twenty-sx old Soldiers' graves in our Lynion and Valley Brook Cemeteries, this Post, strictly speaking, has never buried but one of its own members, viz., Geo, Hufford. We have, however, assisted in the buri l of a good many old Boys, and we are grateful to the Heavenly Father who has spared our lives and supplied our wants thus far on this march of life; and when we, too, h+ar t'at final bugle ca'l to cio s the Jor- dan, may the rising youth be ready 10 take up our mantles.

SHORT SKETCHES OF THE COM MANDERS OF THE LYNDON POST.
SOL BOWER, FOURTH COMMANDER OF LYNDON POST-1888.
Solomon Bower was born in Summit county, Ohio, November 7, 1832. His father died there in 1841, and when Sol was twelve years old his mother, with her family of four children, removed to Juliet, Ill. In March, 1857, when 25 years old, he went to Kansas and es- poused Freedom's cause. He once said in a letter to me, that as a youth he had very deep feelings on these matters. HIe had been taught the evils of slavery and could not stand idly by and see Kansas made a slave state and not take a hand in the fight. So early in the season of 1857 he came to Lawrence, and made that his home.
Early in the year of 1861 he went to Iowa to visit a brother. While there Fort Sumpter was fired on and he en- listed, June, 1861, in Co. H., 2nd Iowa Cav. He did service in this until May, 1863, when he received an honorable discharge for physical disability, and returned to Lawrence, Kansas, where he was living with his mother when, on August 21, 1863, o'd Quantrell and his gang of murderers made their raid on Lawrence, shooting down in cold blood about 200 persons, of which 113 died and 30 were desperately wounded. Sev-
first one attacked. Snider, living in the same house with us, was the first man k lled in the raid, and I was their sec- ond mark, i ut nine shots at short range proved me to be bullet-proof, so they let me off. I ater in the raid a brother was killed in the city. They came early in the morning, three or four hun fred strong, and Lawrence had no soldiers to guard it, nor any warn ng of the pro- posed raid, and had it not been for their great haste to get on into the city before the people were arous d we would have suffered more.
"I was married in La vrence Nov. 5, 1865 to Miss Juli . A. Thornton. She came from Athens county, Ohio to ca e for a brother who h'd received five wounds in the Quant ell raid at Law- rence.
"In these early years after the war Lawrence was quite a place for the headquarters of various Indian agents, traders, e c., who were conn cted wit the tribes living in Franklin and Osage count es. Anticipating the treaty wit i the Sac and Fox Indians and final oc- cupation of these lands, some promi- nent monied men of Lawrenc : s lected me as an advance guard, to go down to the Sac and Fox agency in the spring of 1867, to look out for t eir interests. Their design was, upon the ratific t on of the the treaty by Congress, throwing open the In lian reserve for se tlement, to have a town site secured in the sec -- tion around where Lyndon was some a railroad metropol s and county seat. We secured pomi: sion f om th . Indi n agent to locate at the Agency, and open- ed out a hote', but this did not suit us, and aft r waiting two years for the d :- minished reserve to be thrown open lawfully, in the fall of 1869 I went up byond Olivet on the "Trust Lands"
