OLD SOLDIERS AT GLENWOOD
Reunion Closes Today 124 Veterans Had Registered at Noon Large
Attendance
The old soldiers reunion closes this afternoon at Glenwood. The
boys have had good weather and a good time. It has been the best
attended reunion held for several years, 124 veterans having
registered at noon today. At Malvern last year 111 were
registered. Under the auspices of Attorney E. Starbuck a fine
"camp fire" was held last night. The speakers were Col.
Chantry, Judge Lewis, Dr. Shriver and Col. Byers. Many people
(not familiar with the term were looking for an actual fire with
the old boys in blue huddling about the blaze. This was the old
way, not the new.
Splendid Music
The Institution band has delighted all by their splendid playing.
Last night a chorus of male voices rendered several fine
selections. It was composed of E.G. Millard, Shirley Gilliland,
C.P. Hale, C.R. Buffington, L.A. Bower and Prof. Lee Johnson. But
it is the stirring martial music that delights the heart of the
old soldier. There was plenty of this, too, and of the best kind.
Following composed the drum corps: Snare Drums: Supt. W. M.
Moore, Frank Brooks, L.C. Winslow, Austin Aubrey, W.H. Brooks.
Bass Drums: Sam Vaughn, Will Aubrey. Fifers: Noah Hanks, Ed
Lilley, J. W. Sargent
