Cousin of First Officer. Killed in the Civil War
Mrs. M. F. Adkins Relates How Her Relative Was-Killed After Tearing Down Southern Flag; President Lincoln Mourned Over Body.
The death of the first officer in the Civil war- Colonel E. E. Ellsworth -- le recalled here by Mrs. M. F. Ad- kins, 345 Minota drive, a second cou -. sin of the. slain man.

On clear days it could be seen from the business office of the president In the White House. Lincoln had studied the flag more than once through a telescope.
