IN MEMORIAM.
When Pericles was called upon to deliver the oration over those who had fallen in the first campaign of the Peloponnesian war, he be- gan by extolling Athens ; and, having ex- patiated upon her glories, her institutions and her sciences, he concluded by exclaiming: "For such a republic, for such a Nation, the people whom we this day mourn fell and died." It is "for such a republic-for such a Nation" as the United States of America, that the people of the North, by thousands, "fell and died" during the war for the Union ; and, to those thous- ands, Vernon county contributed her share.
Vernon county's war record is of such a char- acter that her people may ever refer to it with pride and satisfaction. One of the early coun- ties in the State, as we have seen, to respond with volunteers in the hour of gravest peril, she never faltered during the entire struggle, weary and disheartening as it oft times was. Her old men were not wanting in counsel, nor her young
men or middle-aged in true martial spirit. With a firm, unswerving faith in the righteous- ness of the Union cause, her citizens, with scarce a distinction in age or sex, were imbued with a determination to conquer or die rather than survive defeat. It was this kind of patriotism that bore the Union cause through defeat as well as victory, whenever the oft-repeated news was brought home of depleted and scattered ranks. Vernon county valor is attested upon every street of her hospitable villages ; upon her broad sections of fertile land ; and last, but not least, within the silent enclosures of her dead. Itis here that, with each recurring anni- versary, the graves of her heroes are moistened with the tears of sorrow, as loving fingers be- deck them with beautiful flowers.
Although there are in the preceding pages some facts which may remind the citizens of Vernon county of the deeds of those who fought the good fight until the end, yet without these records, those days of peril, of suffering, and of victory at last, would not be forgotten by the present generation ; they are too deeply engraved in the hearts of all. Each of the citi- zen-soldiers from this county who stood loyally by the country's standard through the war, has wrought his name in characters that live as mon- uments to the memories of men.
Many gallant sons of Vernon, who went out from home to battle for the Union, with only the benediction of a mothers' tears and prayers, came back to those mothers' arms with a glo- rious record. Many returned having left a limb in the swamps of Chickahominy ; on the banks of the Rapidan ; at Fredericksburg, Gettysburg Vicksburg, or in the Wilderness. Many still bear the marks of that strife which raged at Stone River, Tuka, Chickamauga, or on the heights of Lookout Mountain, whence they thundered down the defiance of the skies ; or of that strife which was waged before Atlanta, Savannah and in the Carolinas.
But there were many who came not back. They fell by the wayside, in the prison, on the

battlefield, or in the hospital. Their memory, however, is held in the most sacred keeping. Some sleep beside their ancestors in the village churchyard, where the violets on their graves speak not alone of womanly sweetness, but in tender accents of the devotion of those beneatlı the mounds of earth. All, al', whether buried in the distant South or at home, are remembered as they slumber on in a peaceful, glorified rest.
"Winds of Summer, Oh whisper low,
Over the graves where the violets grow.
Blossoming flowers and songs of bees,
Sweet ferns tossed in the summer's breeze.
Floating shadows and golden lights,
Dewy mornings and radiant nights,
All the bright and beautiful things
That graeions and bountiful summer brings,
Fairest and sweetest that earth can bestow,
Brighten the graves where the violets grow."
Many of the brave soldiers who battled for the Union-many, very many - "have gone before;" and they now wait upon the threshold of Paradise for the coming of those loved ones left behind, when they, too, shall have ex- changed the feeble pulses of a transitory exis- sence for the ceaseless throbbing of eternal life. Faithful and fearless, on the march, in the strife, at victory or defeat, they at last laid down at the mysterious frontier, leaving the exalted hope behind that, though the world was lost forever, there would be unfurled another realm of unimaginable glory, where they, and all whom they loved on earth, might realize the promise which the great Ruler of the universe has made to the just.
