Thursday and Friday Mr. Bortree, with his steed, took me over considrable ground with results quite satisfactory. When in Spring Brook township I met a man wearing a G. A. R. button. Naturally, I mentioned the fact that he was a veteran of the Civil war. He informed me that his name was Nathaniel Mead, formerly of New York state, and that he was one of five brothers who served in the war of the Rebellion, and that they were all in the battle of the Wilderness, and not one of them was even wounded, and finally all came home after the war closed. He was the youngest of the brothers and only sixteen when he enlisted. He also stated that his grandfather was in the Revoluntionary war, sixteen of whose grandsons were in the Civil war and not one of them was shot. Quite a remarkable family in patriotism and very fortunate in their miliotary career."
