PIONEERS OF THE MIAMI VALLEY


RE-UNION AT THE SOLDIERS HOME.


Anniversary of Perry's Victory, September 10, 1873.


LARGE DELEGATION FROM CINCINNATI.


A DAY OF ENJOYMENT-HIGHLY INTERESTING EXERCISES.


Report of the Daytor Journal, Sept. 10th, 1873.


The Fioneers' Reunion at the Soldiers' Home yesterday, was one of thenotable events of the period. On no other occa. sion of the kind have so many of the early settlers in this section of the State been brought face to face for the enjoy. ments of social life. Cincinnati sent a representation numbering two hundred or more, while Butler, Warren, Mont- gomery and Darke contributed their quota of early settlers to make up the grand aggregate.


The Hamilton county pioneers came up in a special train on the C. H. & D., which the company had tendered free of expense to the excursion party. The : train reached the Third street crossing about ten o'clock, and were received by Henry L. Brown, Robert W. Steele and


othera, on the part of the Pioneer Asso- ciation of Montgomery county, Leaving the train at the crossing, the Cincinnati party took the cars of the Third street railway, which were in waiting, and pro- ceeded at once to the Home via the Home Avenue railway.


At 11:30 the pioneers assembled at the Chapel of the Home, which was densely crowded. John D. Caldwell, Esq., of Cincinnati, Secretary of the Hamilton County Pioneer Association, called the meeting to order. Judge D. K. Este, of Cincinnati, a pioneer of 83 years, whose first wife was a daughter of Gen. W. H. Harrison, was cho- sen Chairman, and Robert W, Steele, of Dayton, and John D. Caldwell, of Cincin- rati, Secretaries. Mr. Caldwell took

charge of the meeting and announced the various exercises as indicated by the programme. His promptness in bringing forward at the right time and without delay the various speakers in order, added much to the interest of the occa- sion, There was no flagging or hest&- tion, and every moment of time was ap- propriately occupied.


Before the organization, the audience joined in singing "Praise God from whom all Blessings Flow," to the tube of Old Hundred, which is inseparably connected with the words, Then followed the in- vocation by Rev. D. Winters, Chaplain of the Montgomery County Pioneer As- sociation,


After the election of officers, Hon. L. B. Gunckel, Resident Manager, made a short and felicitous address of welcome on behalf of the Home.


WELCOME BY MANAGER GUNCKEL.


It happens that I am the oldest person offi- cially connected with the Soldiers' Home who was born in this county, and for that reason have been selected to welcome the pioneers of Hamilton, Butler, Darke and Montgomery. The veterans of the Home, now numbering near two thousand. like all soldiers and gen- tlemen (the veterans are both,) respect old age -especially honorab e old age, such as they know yours to be. They know full well the privations and sufferings, the courage, indus- try and economy of the pioneer men and wo- men which have been required to make the Miami Valley what it is -- the most beautiful in the


world. They respect, honor. instruct me love you, and


to make the welcome as strong and as hearty as words can make it, and I don't know how I can do it better than to say, our welcome is of the real old-fashioned kind. It is not without reason that older people complain that modern politeness is formal, cold and heartless, and fashionable welcomes too often mere lip serv- ice. So I repeat, we mean ours to be an old- fashioned welcome. One which comes from the heart, and shows itself in the hearty grip of the hand-such shakes as made old General Harrison, in 1840, wish he had no hands atall! We want our welcome to be just such as would have been extended to you. at this very place, sixty years ago-the latch string of the log cabin is out-a placa for you around the open log fire, and an invitation


to share the corn-dodger and hard cider. Eo we gladly extend you the freedom and hospi- tality of the Soldiers' Home.


But before closing, I beg to introduce a few of our "boys in blue"-the oldest 95, and the youngest-"the child of the regiment" -- cols 48! They are veterans of the war of 1612. By the original act establishing these Homes, such soldiers only were admissible as had been dis- abled in the War of the Rebellion. But it seemed so unjust to exclude those who had fought and been disabled under flen- eral Jackson in


tha South. under


General Harrison in the Northwest and under General Scott in Mexico, that Congrats amended the act and admitted these noble old veterans in the same terms as the others. Their history is remarkable, Some of them have distinguished themselves in European aa well as American wars. . One was in thirty one generalengagements, and wounded five times; another in twenty-five general engagements and Derer received even a scratch: another went through twenty-one battles unharmed, but only to be wounded at Fort Donaldson. One entered the French service when twelve years old; another at his birth. His father was a French soldier; he was born in camp, at once entered on the army rolls - but whether with or without "back pay ." I can't say,


OLD SOLDIERS'.


This was a very interesting feature of the occasion, and as the old soldiers were presented they were received with hearty applause.

WELCOME ADDRESS OF THE MONTGOME- RY COUNTY PIONEERS BY JUDGE R. S. HART.

ty. I sm instruotad to great yon with a most cordial and hearty welcomo -- with an oid fash- ioned, frontier welcome. If an object ef the Pioneer Association was the preservation of the carly characteristics of the people of this Valley, I can think of nothing more deserving of being remembered or more worthy of being imitated than the fraternity, good feeling and unrestrained hospitality of our frontier times and people. It is with that old-fashioned. warm, unfeigned, fraternal good feeling that the pioneers of Montgomery county welcome you here to-day,
