Memorial day has grown stead
ily in popular regard as the most
touching of our patriotic holi
days This year it has an added sig
nificance in that we are celebrating
the semicentennial of the beginning of
the great war in commemoration of
which the day was founded
The list of Union dead in 186J was
not a long one few big battles having
been fought Bull Run Balls Bluff
Big Bethel and Wilson Creek were
about the only engagements worthy of
note During the first year both sides
were feeling their way and preparing
for the campaigns of the future There
was only one Federal general lost but
he was a man of great promise Gen
eral Nathaniel Lyon There were six
Union colonels and several minor offi
cers among the years dead the two
most conspicuous being Colonel Elmer
E Ellsworth and Colonel Edward D
Baker Lincolns friend
The first to fall in point of time was
Colonel Ellsworth The three events
that aroused the north to fever pitch
in lSiil were the firing on Fort Sumter

OT long ago 1 read that a mon
umunt had been raised on
Johnsons island at the mouth
of Saixlusky bay in Lake Erie
to the memory of the Confederate of
ficers who died there as prisoners of
war and were buried on the island
The information had personal interest
for me My uncle after whom I am
named lies buried there Forty years
after his death I visited the island to
search for his grave and I found It
Johnsons island lies three miles west
of Sandusky O From 1SG2 to 18G3
this little island about a mile wide by
a mile and a half long was used by
the Federal government as a prison
for Confederate officers
Born several years after my name
sake uncles death I had beard my
father tell frequently of his brothers
capture imprisonment and end My
father supposing that his brothers
grave was unmarked never visited the
island but I determined In boyhood
that if ever an opportunity offered I
should go there and try to locate the
grave of my uncle In the autumn of
1904 T was in Sandusky on business
To gain some Information about the
Island prison I visited a newspaper of
fice The editor received me cordially
I told him the object of my desire to
go to Johnsons Island
1 presume however I said that
search for my uncles grave tvIII be
fruitless

ITT OWN NAME WAS ON THE STONE
of your uncle in the burial plot The
graves of several hundred of the of
ficers were marked a few years ago
a wartime diagram of the burial plot
having been discovered by which they
were located correctly In fact two
such diagrams were discovered and
compared The movement started -with
us northern people but the money was
raised in the south Each gn ve is
marked with a small marble ead
stone bearing the name rank an date
of death of the officer
A steam launch took me to the island
and 1 walked to the burial ground
Using the diagram supplied by the
Sandusky editor it was but a moment
before I stood with uncovered head at
a gravestone nearly in the middle of
thb Rttle cemetery
My oivn name was on the stone
Also there was carved briefly the mil
itary rank of my uncle the detach
ment to which he belonged and the
date of his death Commanding a Mis
sissippi battery during the terrible
siege of Port Hudson he had fallen
into the hands of the victorious Fed
erals
Though my sentiments have been al
ways for the northern cause as were
those of my father himself in wartime
brother divided against brother 1
withheld no homage from the gallant
Confederates whose mute pathetic lit
tle headstones surrounded me For
many miniftes I stood alone and silent
above the southern dead I recalled
the letter still sacredly preserved by
me which the commandant of the pris
on had written to my father announc
ing my uncles death He was a gal
lant Christian gentleman the com
mandant had written of his fallen foe
The pathos of war then and the
burrowed its way into my soul forever
Stooping I picked up a few acorns and
oak leaves from the grave of the man
whose name I bore Then I turned
away and walked down to the launch
