Herkimer March
(Continued from last weck)
The site of Fort Herkimer, where the wounded general rested when re- turning from the battle of Oriskany, was marked by Astenrogen Chapter. Close by, the ancient landmark, the old Fort Herkimer church, stands like a grim sentinel guard- ing the spot. Here General Herki- mer spent his boyhood. Ile render- ed gallant service defending the early settlers from the Incursions of the French and Indians. Here in 1775, the first Liberty Pole was erected in the Mohawk Valley.
Crossing to the north side of the Mohawk, General' Nicholas IIerki- mer Chapter and Kuyahoora Chap- ter placed the fifth memorial on the site of Fort Dayton, now ITerki- mer, where General Herkimer took command of the Tryon county mili- tia.
Setting out the fourth of August, on the long march through the wilderness for the relief of Fort Stanwix, the army camped the first night west of Staring Creek - the point marked by the Mohawk Val- ley Chapter.
On the morning of the 5th the patriots turned to the south and crossed the river, Col. Marinus Willett Chapter erecting the sev- enth marker here.
At the overhead crossing Onelda Chapter marked the Great Ford of | ic women living in the vicinity of the Mohawk, fifteen hundred feet east, which was used by General Herkimer and his army.
The ninth marker was erected by the school children on the site of old Fort Schuyler, At the con- clusion of the exercises here lun- cheon was served at the beautiful new Hotel Utica, the only intermis- sion in the day's program.
The tenth marker, placed by the Utica Chamber of Commerce, de- noted the turn westward.
The eleventh memoralized the
tollsome journey along the wind- ing Indian trail, through the pres- ent Whitesboro street, and was erected by the enterprising Boost- ers' Club of Utica.
Passing through the dense for- ests, Herkimer and his men reach- ed their final encampment before the battle. Fort Schuyler Chapter, Sons of the Revolution, marked the resting place of the rear guard, and deep personal loss In the death of Oneida Chapter the head of the column, the camping ground tending from the Sauquoit to the Oriskany Creeks. ex-
The most sacred ground of all the battlefield, was reserved for the Oriskany Chapter and the Sons of Oriskany. Here they erected tree the fourteenth and final marker, not far from the famous beech which sheltered the wounded Gen- eral Herkimer when directing the battle. Here he calinly faccd the
enemy and gave orders which sav- ed his little army from destruction, turned the tide of British invasion and decided the fate of a nation. "Here," sald Washington, "Herki- mer first reversed the gloomy scenes of the opening years of the Revolution."
It is interesting to note that in most instances the memorials were unveiled by members of the Her- kimer family, although General Herkimer himself left no descend- ants.
On Flag Day, 1912, surely New York. State, too little recognized for her contribution in behalf of American Independence, came to
her own, so far as honoring Gen- eral Herkimer and his heroic army Is concerned. All along the his- toric route Old Glory waved from every house and vantage point, The Mohawk Valley was In festival at- tire. The people cheered and the school children waved their starry banners, and lustily sang the songs of their country. Floral tributes were reverently laid on the mark- ers, Milltary escort was provided and martial music lent its charni. The Boy Scouts were everywhere, mounted and on foot, a picturesque feature of the triumphal progress
ters has gone steadily on, but of that we have no time to speak. We have had our patriotic gala days without number, but to me the climax has been reached today. I was so glad I had a part with you In this celebration, and my
joy at what I have seen and heard on our trip over the Herkimer trail, through the beautiful Mohawk Val- ley, a trip unparalled in our his- tory. Three hundred automobiles in line to carry the patriotic sons and daughters over this forty-mile route, stopping at each historic spot to devoutly dedicate each
marker. Here we are on the old battlefield of Oriskany, at the end of our journey without hitch
or hindrance, to pay our respects and unveil the tablet to General Her- kimer, on the spot where he rece- ived his death-wound, where he gave his last orders to his army, and refused to be carried from the fleld till the battle was won. That was the turning point In the Rev- olution!
"As the sun is kissing his good- night after this perfect day, I want to congratulate the Daughters of the Mohawk Valley. This picture Is photographed on our brains to re- main through time-beautiful, in- spiring, and your work will go down through the ages, as have the sac- rifices of the men whose deeds you have commemorated."
Thirty-five years ago the patriot-
the battlefield constructed a flag of herolc size and flung it to the breeze from a 100-foot flag pole at the centennial celebration of the hattle of Oriskany, August 6, 1877, Following the salute of this histor- lc flag the vast assemblage united in singing "The Star Spangled Ban- ner." This fittingly closed the most remarkable and impressive patriotic celebration ever witnessed in the Empire State,
IN MEMORIAM Ilon. John D. Henderson RESOLUTION.
At a special mecting of the Her- klmer County Historical Society, held Thursday, June 2nd, the fol- lowing resolution was adopted:
The Herkimer County Historical Society learns with great sorrow of the death of John Dryden Hender- son. Every member must feel a our genial, kindly assoclate, and the society is bereft of one of its most loyal and valuable members. As Chairman of the Herkimer Committee since the organization it was his kindly sympathetic pen that annually recorded the breaks in the ranks of the society, made by the grim visitor, and paid just and loving tribute to the memory of these departing memhers.
It may be truly said that not since the death of our first presi- dent, the late Judge Earl, has this society sustained so great a loss. No member was more deeply Inter- csted in the welfare and success of this society. Long a student of Her- kimer County's historical records, the county was dear to him not only as a native son, but by the in- heritance of four generations, and his addresses before the society were thus inspired by filial love, enhanc- ed by literary qualities of a high order. These addresses will always remaln of the greatest importance in the records of the society.
Mr. Henderson was a charter member of the society and served since its organization as treasurer and chairman of the necrology committee, and was a member of the committee having charge of the General Herkimer monument at Danube. His faithfulness In serv- ice on these committees is known to all of us. In many other ways he contributed both by valuable sug- gestlon and personal advice to the welfare of the society Hls addresses before the society were of the greatest historical Interest and val- ue. They consist of the following with the date of dellvery: February
8, 1897, "An Outline Sketch of the History of Tryon County;" Febru- ary 8, 1898, "The Dutch In New Netherlands;" October 14, 1899, "The French in Canada and our obligation to the Iroquois."
In giving expression to our ap- heart has thrilled with pride and preclation of his worth as a man of high character and a citizen who filled a large place in his commun- Ity with , fidelity, and honor, your committee feels that these words which Mr. Henderson wrote of our late president may well be used in tribute to himself :
"For in personal conduct, ever ready to contribute of his means to every worthy object, charitable for the faults of others, genial, kind and cheerful, it was a joy and pleasure to know him, and his per- sonality will linger as one of the sweet memories of our lives. Let him in eternal peace, which God has prepared for him."

WHEN/A FUSE BLOWS
HE two most common T causes for a No. 15 fuse to blow are defective cords and overloaded wires that lead to the outlets. Most house wiring was never "engineered" for to- day's many appliances-the wires are too small. When elec- tric traffic gets jammed in these small overloaded wires, a fuse blows. This is a danger signal that the wiring should be made safe to meet your electrical needs.
Never use a fuse larger than No. 15 without the OK of your electrician.

At every monument eloquent speeches were delivered, but the mnost elaborate and impressive ex- ercises occurred at the battlefield. Here 'Lieut. Governor Thomas F. Conway, representing the State of New York, after graphically por- traying the scenes once enacted on this bloody field, and paying a glow- ing tribute to General Herkuner and his followers, said:
"The tablets which you have un- veiled today stand as monuments to your patriotism and prove your appreciation of what they accom- plished. They will impress upon fu- ture generations at what great price was established the liberties they enjoy. I want to see this work carried out by other sections of the state and throughout the nation.
"The marking of such historic spots will impress the children, who should be taught to understand their meaning. It will inspire in them a more ardent love of coun- try, and cultivate in their hearts a feeling of responsibility for the support and defense of American institutions."
What could have been more grat- ifying and delightful on this" mein- orable day than the presence of
Mrs. Mary S. Lockwood, one of the founders of the Daughters of the American Revolution. Her sweet and gracious words fell upon our ears like a benedictlon. They are engraved upon our hearts in let- ters of gold.
