In Memory OF THE LATE ROBERT M. BRINTON,
Brevet Lieut .- Col. U. S. Vols., and Acting Chancellor-in- Chief of the Order.
IX. The Recorder announced the death of Brevet Lieut .- Col. Robert M. Brinton, Acting Chancellor-in-Chief of the Order, as having occurred January 16th ult., and read Circular No. 1, series of 1885, of the Headquarter Com- mandery, giving date and place of funeral services.
"The following resolution, read by Companion Dr. A. C. Kemper, was unan- imously adopted, and the Recorder requested to forward a copy of the same to the family of the deceased Companion :-
"The Companions of the Ohio Commandery are pained to hear the official announcement of the death of Colonel Robert Morton Brinton, Chancellor of the Pennsylvania Commandery, and Chancellor-in-Chief of the Order, which. occurred at Philadelphia on the 16th of January last. The immediate cause of his death was a spinal affection which grew out of a camp-fever, that in the early part of the war made its indellible impression upon the Colonel, then only eighteen years of age. Thus a man of the tough physical fibre of the Huguenot blood gave the five years, the flower of his life, to the service of lis country ; and during the long years since, discharged nobly all the duties of honorable citizenship under the burden of suffering, of which he never com- phined, came to his premature death in the forty-second year of his age. It is not too much to say that such men give, emphatically, their lives to their country. When he was here instituting this Commandery, enjoying so intently the companionship of the occasion, and enhancing it so agreeably by his per- sonal contributions to it, we little thought he was a daily sufferer. None but the brave face thoughtfully the leaden rain and iron hail belched forth in the fire of battle, and none but heroes face with uncomplaining fortitude the stern realities of life, with a load of physical pain that is an ever-present threat of their dissolution. The battle is but for a day, but the years of such life drag their slow course so wearily along that joy comes with their end.
"President Lincoln officially recognized the honorable war record of Colonel Brinton, and especially his intrepid and efficient courage at the battle of Five Forks. The executive of his State, Governor Hartranft, at the close of the war placed him upon his staff, and subsequently made him a Major- General of the militia of Pennsylvania. As such he had command of the troops as- signed to the duty of quelling the disturbances at Pittsburg in August, 1877, and in the coal regions during the month following. He was a prominent member of the Grand Army of the Republic, and had the happiness to re- ceive many assurances of the warm attachment of the soldiers composing that organization, whose best interests he always warmly espoused.
"He was one of the earliest members of the Order of the Loyal Legion, and for eight years its Chancellor-in-Chief. His patriotism, from his boyhood to his death, was unquestioned and active. The death of such a man is a loss to the country.
6
"The Recorder is requested to furnish a copy of this resolution to the Com- mandery-in-Chief, and through it convey to the widow and children of our esteemed Companion assurance of the high regard and the tender sympathy of the Ohio Commandery."
X. At the close of the business meeting an adjournment was made to the dining-hall to attend the second annual dinner of the Commandery.
The proceedings of the reunion and dinner, on the second anniversary of the Commandery, will be published in full, in official form.
THE SONG BOOK OF THE COMMANDERY.
XI. The Song Book of the Ohio Commandery is now completed and ready for sale and distribution. The book contains fifty-five songs of an ap- propriate character, carefully selected by Major Wm. R. Lowe, Chairman of the Committee on Music. Each song is arranged to music with piano accom- paniment, an electrotype of the music having been made for each selection. The book is bound in a rich shade of blue with gold edges (some in cloth and others in leather) and is embellished upon the cover with the ribbon and badge of the Order, embossed in gold and surrounded with the words, also in gold, "SONGS OF THE OHIO COMMANDERY, LOYAL LEGION." As the book is to be used at all meetings of the Commandery or Companions, every mem- ber is requested and urged to purchase a copy, or more if they wish, as soon as convenient. The price of the song book has been fixed at one dollar ($1.00). The book will be sent by mail, postage prepaid, on receipt of that amount by the Recorder.
THE SOUVENIR CANNON.
A number of Companions having lost the souvenir of the Second Annual Dinner-the Loyal Legion "Cannon"-are ordering duplicates. The supply is exhausted, but the Recorder has ordered an extra lot manufactured, and they will be sold at one dollar each. Companions wishing the "Souvenir" will please at once order the number they want, of the Recorder, remitting him the cost of same-$ 1.00.
MISCELLANEOUS.
XII. At the next stated meeting, to be held March 4th, Companion Capt. Carl A. G. Adae, by request, will read a paper, entitled, "Our Military Future." Major J. L Pierson, by request, will read a paper at the stated meeting, April Ist, entitled, "Boots and Saddle."
XIII. Until further notice the stated meetings will commence at 8 o'clock.
XIV. The success of the Ohio Commandery depends on its increase in mem- bership, and upon the character and standing of its members. It is hoped that Companions will use their best endeavors to add to the Commandery as many new members as possible, from among deserving officers, but remembering to be extremely careful in their selection and endorsement of those applying.
