FIRST REUNION-INDIANA COUNTY'S HONOR TO THE GALLANT PENNSYLVANIA RE- SERVES-GRAND BANQUET AT NORMAL
SCHOOL-LIST OF VETERANS
[From the Daily Blade, Indiana, Pa.]
Thursday, the 25th of September [1879] will never be forgotten by the citizens of In- diana county-will ever find a bright re- membrance in the hearts of the old veterans of the gallant 11th Pennsylvania Regiment and visitors who were present at the first re- union services at Indiana.
The following is a complete list of the mem- bership of the post: Robert Armstrong (de- ceased), Thomas M. Fleming, David W. Davis, Early Thursday morning our street pre- sented a lively appearance, houses were be- ing decorated, flags flung to the breezes and Amos T. Anthony (deceased), John R. Cox (deceased), S. G. McCurdy (deceased), Joseph Alshouse (deceased), Samuel Bothel arches and words of welcome greeting the eye (deceased), William Robinson, William L. on every side.
At the Kinter House crossing, a large arch had been erected. At courthouse square, arches were stretched across with appropriate mottoes, while at the American House cross- ing, fronting the depot, another large arch, with the words "Welcome 11th Regiment P. R. V. C.," stretched across it, greeted your eye. We have not space to enter much into detail. Suffice it to say, the decorations were tasteful and appropriate, and numerous enough to show that the patriotic hearts of Indiana's citizens still held in grateful es- teem and veneration HER SOLDIER BOYS.
Owing to the accident on Branch road, and the long detention of the train containing the band and the larger delegation of old veterans, the route of procession and various

routine business had to be curtailed. When repeated calls, with a song, which was rap- the shrill whistle of the locomotive was heard, turously received. The meeting then ad- the cheers that rent the air from the masses assembled were perfectly deafening. The procession was formed in the following order :
Gen. T. F. Gallagher, Chief Marshal. Aids-Capts. A. H. Mitchell, J. S. Nesbit. Committee of Reception. Invited Guests. Altoona City Band.
11 Regiment P. R. V. C. Commanded by General S. M. Jackson. Co. "D," Capt. Wm. D. Wilson. Co. "F," Lieut. A. C. Braughler. West Indiana Fire Company. Indiana Fire Company. Soldiers and Citizens.
The route was from Depot down Phila- delphia street to Sixth street; south to Church ; east to Fifth street; north to Phila- delphia: west to the court house. The pro- cession was a very fine one, and was an inter- esting feature in the day's doings.
Here General White made the address of welcome, which was responded to by Gen. T. F. Gallagher.
An adjournment for dinner was then made, and we know the boys must have ap- preciated this part of the programme as it was almost five o'clock, and some of them had not tasted food since early breakfast.
