MEMORIAL SERVICES BY THE G.A.R.
The memorial services conducted by Canby Post, G. A. R. and W.R.C., last Saturday, in memory of comrades Benjamin Hull, 33d Iowa; Edwin Gorton, 111th Ohio; A.K. Isenberg, 1st Penn. artillery; and Daniel H. Clough, 9th Ohio battery, was well attended by the Grand Army and the Relief Corps and their friends. Commander T. J. Cunning, in opening the service, spoke as follows:
"To the friends of our departed comrades I wish to say a few words, not as an apology for inviting them here, but rather as an explanation. The Grand Army of the Republic is an organization of memories, and those memories, interwoven and knit together by association on hundreds of battlefields, have been reunited and strengthened by our neighbors together in behalf of Fraternity, Charity and Loyalty. We have lived long enough to note the growing lack of interest in the desperate struggle to save the Union in which they took a part, and which service makes it possible for the present organization to exist. Our great captains have nearly all passed on, and an aging remnant of that mighty host that brought victory to our banner is all that is left. The words of "The Recessional" seem fitly applicable;
"The tumult and the shouting dies,
The captains and the kings depart;
Still stands thine ancient sacrifice,
A broken and a contrite heart,
Lord God of hosts, be with us yet,
Lest THEY forget, lest THEY forget."
"There is no danger of us forgetting, and when it comes to parting with a comrade who has been endeared to us by the fellowship of the march, the bivouac, the battle and the longer association of the post room, we realize something of the meaning of the word comrade. The one you mourn was our comrade with all that that word means to us, and you are brought nearer to us on account of your relationship or interest in him. You may be assured that you will always be regarded with tenderest interest by the members of this post, and any assistance will be gladly rendered."
The impressive memorial services were then conducted by the post. Mrs. A.A. Jayne sang the song, "Tenting on the Old Camp Ground," and the audience joined in the chorus. Feeling remarks in memory of the departed comrades were made by J.W. Rigby, C. J. Hayes, and M.P. Isenberg and E.D. Calkins. Mrs. Jayne then song the song, "The Blue and the Gray." Mrs. F. E. Jackson accompanied Mrs. Jayne's singing on the organ. Mrs. Louise Goddard gave a reading from Sir Edwin Arnold's, "Light of Asia."
