all loyal citizens, and but for the unanimity with which this was done, you would not to-day have the pleasure of pre- senting us the good old Stars and Stripes.
" If it required patriotic heroism and bravery for a soldier to leave his home and dear ones to face the cannon's mouth, and take his chances of meeting death upon the field of battle, O, how much more of true devotion to country was exhibited by the self-sacrificing and loyal mothers, wives, sisters and sweethearts, who, with a parting kiss and an aching heart, bid their loved one farewell; and through the succeeding months, and perhaps years, expecting to hear the last final message that the dear one had surrendered his life to the God who gave it. For the verification of this assertion I might refer to many noble and patriotic hearts within the hearing of my voice, who will bear me out in saying, that the suffering of death by them would have been as nothing compared with the anguish caused by the departure and terrible uncertainty of the fate of those they loved most dear who were among the 300,000 of our noble comrades who fell at the post of duty. It is not, then, on account of the intrinsic value alone of this Flag that we admire it; but because it assures us that the same loyal and patriotic impulses beat in the hearts of the people of to-day that actuated their every movement twenty years ago.
" We accept this as a token of your good will, and your desire that we may know that you have not forgotten the noble acts of heroism performed by us. And we receive it, not alone for Vosburgh Post, but also in behalf of our noble comrades who are now sleeping in the silent grave, and are not permitted to enjoy the occasion with us. Wetrust that this act on your part will excite us to a more faithful per- formance of our duties as citizens, and stimulate us to carry forward the great objects of the Grand Army, among which is the enrolling the names of our deceased comrades, and preserving a record of their noble deeds, that their memory may go down to posterity as patriots who died that their country might live. How fitting that on this occasion this Flag, the representative of a free people, should be given into the hands of one, once a slave, Finley M. Scott (colored) color bearer, who out of love for his country, and a desire to strike a blow for the freedom and liberty of his race, joined our ranks and, shoulder to shoulder in the bloody strife, marched against a common enemy. And he stands here the representative of a race whose shackles were sundered and chains broken, that this government might exist, and that the good old Flag might no longer represent a lie, but that it might be in truth and in fact, as it is to-day, the emblem
671

of a great, mighty and free people. Our comrade will be true to the trust imposed in him; he will see that not a single star upon the old Flag is obliterated or its folds trailed in the dust.
" In receiving it let me assure the donors that it shall ever be guarded with a jealous care, and if need be to preserve the unity of the Republic, or stay the assassin's hand, the members of the Grand Army will carry this Flag to the battle field of another Bull Run, Antietam, Gettysburgh, Wilderness, or even up among the clouds of Lookout Moun- tain; and as one after another of our brave color-bearers shall be struck down, this Flag shall be caught up and car- ried forward, even though but one last representative of our noble order shall be left to plant it upon the giddy heights of the mountain-top, or carry it on its triumphal march to Appomattox. The unity and integrity of our country being maintained, it shall be delivered over to our sons with instructions to transmit it to succeeding generations, trust- ing and believing they will be faithful to the duty imposed upon them; and that the good old Stars and Stripes will be the National emblem of future generations unborn, when, within the boundaries of the Atlantic on the East, the Pacific on the West, the great chain of lakes on the North, and the Gulf of Mexico on the South, there shall be included 500,000,000 of free people.
" As the national ensign of such a powerful nation, this Flag will be looked upon with awe and veneration. Thrice and again we thank you for this token of your friendship and esteem. And this be our motto, 'In God is our trust, and-
" The Star-spangled Banner in triumph shall wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave."
The money to purchase the flag had been raised by the active exertions of Mrs. J. P. Foster, and had been solicited in small sums, that as many as possible might share in the tribute of respect. The contributors were 166 in number, the sum raised, $91.80; the cost of the flag, $75.00; the expenses $7.65, and the balance $9.15, was given to the Bene- fit Fund of Vosburgh Post. All of which appears from the model report published by Mrs. Foster.

Dwight Post has maintained an active and successful organization to the present time. It has provided for the ceremonies of decoration each year, a patriotic service that had not before been observed in the town. May 30th, 1880, the annual address was delivered by Lewis H. Clark; in 1881, by Colonel John Foster, then of Red Creek; in 1882, by Rev. J. P. Foster, of Sodus; in 1883, by Rev. Wm. H. Rogers, formerly Chaplain of the One Hundred and Eighty- ninth Infantry. Committees of citizens have freely assisted, gladly accepting the leadership of the Post in this patriotic work. Especially have the ladies from year to year been

profuse in their floral offerings to the memory of the heroic dead. The Post is accustomed to send a detail of its mem- bers to each of the cemeteries in the town, for the purpose of decoration, and then all have gathered in the afternoon, at the village rural cemetery, for the public services of the day. The influence of the Post has incited the people to a better care of the old burial places, and to a better designation of the actual graves of Revolutionary soldiers and those of the war of 1812.
