OLD VETERANS IN REUNION.
Centre County Veteran Club Held
Annual Meeting in Bellefonte.
Thirty years ago the annual re-
union of the Centre county Veteran
club was one of the big gatherings in
Centre county—looked forward to
not only by members of the organiza-
tion but by the public generally, be-
cause in those days it was attended
by old and young from all parts of
the county and was considered a pa-
triotic, gala day. Men, women and
children gathered together to pay
homage to the veterans who fought
to save the union from disruption and
the soldiers themselves were then
counted by the hundreds. Today
their ranks have grown pitifully thin
and just thirty-four members, grown
gray with the weight of fleeting
years, gathered at the High school
building in this place to hold their
44th annual reunion in another get-
together meeting.
The veterans were called to order
promptly at 10:30 o'clock by the
president, Hon. John Hamilton and
comrade J. B. Mayes led in devotion-
al exercises. Business was then sus-
pended while the members made good
their dues for the ensuing year. The
president then appointed the follow-
ing committee chairmen:
Officers—T. A. Snyder.
Place of Meeting—D. B. Brisbin.
Resolutions—Geo. M. Boal, S. B.
Miller.
Secretary Fry was appointed a com-
mittee of one to secure as speakers
for the afternoon Col. J. L. Spangler
and Lieut. Claude W. Smith. The vet-
erans then proceeded in a body to the
home of comrade John P. Harris to
express their sympathy on the loss of
his wife, who died Thursday morn-
ing. Returning to the school build-
ing they adjourned for dinner. Mrs.
L. H. Osman and Mrs. Mary Seibert
had charge of the baskets and with
the free coffee prepared in the High
school culinary department a very
satisfying repast was served. ~
On convening at 1:30 p. m. the
committee on the place of meet-
next year reported in favor of Mar-
tha, at the same time as the Williams
reunion and it was so ordered.
The committee on officers for the
ensuing year reported as follows, all
of whom were chosen:
President—John Hamilton.
1st Vice Pres.—Henry Meyer.
2nd Vice Pres.—S. B. Miller.
Sec. and Treas.—Wm. H. Fry.
Burgess W. Harrison Walker made
a brief address of welcome and was
followed by Rev. Maynard in a few
remarks after which chairman Ham-
ilton responded briefly. Judge Quig-
ley, Col. W. S. Teller and Col. J. L.
Spangler made brief addresses and
then Lieut. Claude W. Smith was in-
troduced. He told the veterans of
his company’s experience at the bat-
tle of the Marne and also described
in brief the life in the trenches of
France. A rising vote of thanks was
tendered him for his talk. Prof. Pat-
tee, of State College, was then intro-
duced as the speaker of the day and
made a very interesting and enter-
taining talk. The last speaker of the
day was Clement Dale Esq., of Belle-
fonte. The committee on resolutions
then reported as follows:
The Centre County Veteran Club, in its
44th annual reunion, desires to place it-
self upon record as emphasizing the fol-
lowing resolutions:
Resolved, first, That it is our duty as
true, loyal American citizens to stand by
the President of the United States, his
cabinet and Congress, in their determina-
tion to bring the present war to a suc-
cessful issue and establish a lasting
peace;
Second, That our best wishes go with
the boys who are now in the service of
their country in foreign lands; also those
who are preparing for military duty in
the several cantonments in this country,
and our hope is that they may all safely
return to their several homes when the
war is over and victory secured;
Third, That our thanks are due to the
Bellefonte School Board for the use of the
school building, and to the several speak-
ers who took part in the exercises of the
day, favoring us with encouragement and
good will;
Fourth, That we mourn the loss, by
death, of twelve or more comrades, mem-
bers of our association who have answer-
ed the long roll call since our last annual
meeting;
Fifth, That we deeply sympathize with
the surviving members of their families,
that a bond of union of minds and hearts
in the old unions of long ago can only be
severed by death;
Sixth, That our thanks are also due
comrades Emanuel Noll and 8. B. Miller,
and Mrs. L. H. Osman and Mrs. Mary Sei-
bert for their hospitality and substantial
dinner.
There being no other business the
gathering then adjourned. Follow-

Annual Reunion of the Fighting
Forty-fifth.
The survivors of the Forty-fifth
regiment, Pennsylvania volunteers,
one of the hard fighting units of the
Civil war, will hold their annual re-
union at State College on Wednesday
of next week, October 9th. The head- |
quarters of the visitors will be at
Nittany Inn and the progam prepar-
ed for the gathering includes a busi-
ness session in the I. O. O. F. hall at
9:30 a2. m., and the committee of ar-
rangements has given assurance that
the goat will be securely tied so that
there will be no danger of it butting
in. Aside from that the day will be
crammed full of entertainment for
the old veterans. In the afternoon
there will be a free auto ride down
Pennsvalley to view the wonders of
Penn’s cave and another over the state
road to introduce the visitors to the
outside of the new western peniten-
tiary at Rockview.
Promptly at eight o'clock in the
evening a campfire will be started in
the old chapel in Old Main. Burgess
J. L. Holmes will preside and he has
a big well-dried log ready to start the
fire. Other prominent patriots who
have promised to heave a log or two
are Dr. E. E. Sparks, president of the
College; Hon. Emerson Collins, of
Williamsport, renowned alike for his
wit and pathos; Col. J. L. Spangler,
of Bellefonte, who can talk Civil war,
Spanish war, this war or any other
war and patriotism nigh unto bust-
in’; Chaplain T. W. Young, who is
used to talking to a large crowd of
men at least once a week, and others
who were not put on the program be-
cause of lack of space. There will be
music by the Citizens band, communi-
ty singing, while Comrade Martz will
recite “The Kaiser's Prayer.”
The Forty-fifth regiment was or-
ganized and enlisted in the service at
Harrisburg on October 1st, 1861. It
served two enlistments and was mus-
tered out of service on July 17th,
1865. The first colonel of the regi-
ment was Thomas Welsh, of Colum-
bia, and lieutenant colonel, James A.
Beaver, of Bellefonte. The captain
of Company A was John I. Curtin, of
Bellefonte, who afterwards rose to
the rank of a brigadier general. He
was severely wounded in the assault
before Petersburg. The regiment
spent a year with Gen. Sherman’s ar-
my at Port Royal and other Islands
off South Carolina, returning to join
the Army of the Potomac in Virginia.
The unit fought in the battles of Bull
Run, South Mountain and Antietam,
sustaining heavy casualties. In the
spring of 1863 they were transferred
to Grant’s army before Vicksburg but
returned to Virginia in the early part
of 1864. They took an active part in
the Battle of the Wilderness and the
hard fighting around Petersburg, cap-
turing the flagtof the 6th Virginia
regiment, Wilcox’s brigade of Potter’s
ninth Corfederdte ‘division. © *
The regiment’s total in killed and’
wounded was 873. More than one
hundred died in, confederate prisons.
There are now about one hundred sur-
vivors and at least half of them are
expected at the reunion next week.
Some of them live some distance
away and will have to travel some to
get there but that will be nothing to
what they did during the war as one
of the mathematical members figured
up that while it was in the service the
regiment had covered 13,000 miles
and fought in thirty-one engage-
ments.
The officers are: President, H. C.
Meyer; vice president, W. H. Pry;
secretary and- treasurer, T. J. Davis;
chairman of the executive committee,
J. B. Emery.
The Grangers Make a Splendid Do-
nation to the Hospital.
The Bellefonte hospital acknowl-
edges with great appreciation, the
splendid donation made by the
Granger’s of Centre county through
the exhibitors at their encampment
and exhibition at Centre Hall last
week.
As has been their custom for sev-
eral years the Association announced
that all exhibits of fruit, vegetables
and other articles of use to the hos-
pital not claimed by their owners
would be donated to the Bellefonte
hospital on Friday afternoon, the last
ly the ambulance was taken to Centre
Hall to receive what the good people
who had made exhibits had designed
that the institution should have. :
There was a splendid lot of apples,
onions, beans, cabbage, rhubarb,
pumpkins, beets and other produce.
In fact the ambulance was scarcely
large enough to carry it all and the
ladies of the Centre Hall auxiliary,
Mrs. King, Mrs. Kreamer, Mrs.
Smith and Miss Smith were there to
collect and assort it.
The exhibitor’s cards were on many
of the articles and while the follow-
ing by no means represent all who
left their exhibits for the hospital we
publish their names with the hope
that they will let others whom we
could not discover know how much
the hospital values any public move-
ment that is designed to help it along
in its unceasing work of mercy.
The cards found on the articles re-
ceived were Mrs. John Spearly, Wil-
lard Dale, Bellefonte; Mrs. John Tate,
Pleasant Gap; Franklin Runkle, Ruth
Runkle, Aaron Lutz, Mrs. Ww, 8S.
Brooks, Mary Osman, Elsie Moore,
Mrs. Thomas Grove, and Ralph Luse,
Centre Hall; Milward Gingerich,
Boalsburg; Myrtle Houtz, Walnut
Grove; J. M. Harter, Aaronsburg;
Mrs. Mary Williams, Lemont; Mrs.
Wilmer Lee, Sara Goodhart and Mrs.
C. H. Eungard, Spring Mills.
