FARNSWORTH WRlTfcS FROM PORTLAND, OREGON 1 4 I • • , . ■" ■— Portland, Oregon, June 6, 1930 Editor Frontier, t O’NeilJ,, Nebraska, ' Dear Editor: The near approach of Flag Day impels me to write you of a matter I have long had in mind. It is this: What became of the flag that Company M., 3rd 'Nebraska Volun teers, carried through the Spanish War? Was it ever officially turned over to Holt County? It should be on display at the Court House at O’Neill in the same manner as the Regimental Colors and Flag are dis played in the Capitol building at Lin coln. Can you let me know if this has been done? On Memorial Day, I marched through our city streets with some 150 of my comrades of ’98. At the note •f the bugle we were off, every man to step with the old army swing of the long-gone service days. Oh, the memories that were awakened and came flooding through my mind to an almost overwhelming degree. 1 was a boy again, in camp at O’Neill. There were the County Commission er with the flag, and Captain Cross accepting in behalf of Company M., promised it should be returned to Holt County in honor, at any cost. Then on to Omaha for regimental muster, and from there to the fever atricken camp at Jacksonville. Flor ida. Here, with scores of others, I was furloughed home on sick leave, in October, under circumstances that have burned into my memory that can never be effaced. As our tram got under way, there was the crash of the firing squad’s rifles, for two cars were filled with the bodies of comrades of northern regiments; they had given the “last full measure of devotion’’ and were going Home, not on a furlough, but to occupy little green tents whose portal never out ward swings, there to await the Great Commander's final reveille. “On fame’s eternal camping ground Their silent tents are spread, While Glory guards w i t h solemn round The bivouac of the dead.” Sixty days of Holt County’s brac ing air and I was back to the regi ment at Savannah, Georgia, feeling as good as ever. From Savannah the 3rd left for Cuba, arriving in Ha vana harbor early in January, 1899, and what a wonderful sight greeted us as we p-+»’vd the v''mbor. Grim old Mor~? „ ’ ibanas fort ress guard "" ’ oe and the beautiful ettv of Hi >n the green shores of Onha In the distance, and as our great * ’ * 1 toward the dock, the nd, stationed on the f’ of the vessel, sends tbo soul-. iring strains of the “Star Spangled Banner" rolling across the bay to greet the populace waiting on the shore to bid us en thusiastic welcome. On February 15, 1899, a battalion of thq 3rd took part in the first mem orial service at tnfe' Colon Cerrtetery in honor of the victims of the battle ship Maine disaster. In our camp near Havana we tent ed near the 7th Cavalry and what a bugler they had. When the hour for Taps approached, we would listen for the calls from the different regi ments, as they were sounded in rota tion, and as we listened, watch the flickering candles in the tents along the Company street and perhaps, somewhere near, hear “Speck” Sher ry singing “Shadow of the Pines,” and boy! how “Speck” could sing, BINDER CANVAS Are you coming to town tonight? If you are, throw some of those Binder Canvasses in the car i and we will have them ready for you when you want them. We are prepared to repair any make of can- i vas or make new ones, as we have in stock Canvas ;j and Slats. Now is the time to get your Binder Canvas fix- ; ‘ed—don’t wait until the grain is ready to cut. OPEN NIGHTS , , ‘ - ■ : i, ! | ! T. M. Harrington fiwmuuum too. Then the bugle calls would be gin, first one and then another, all along the line until, as a grand finale the bugle from the Seventh rent the blackness of the tropical night, ther all was stilL. Then check roll call— a quiet step outside and Charley Hall’s voice came out of the dark ness, inquiring “All in here?”. Char ley’s voice has long sin^e been stilled. The whole First Division knew and loved Lieutenant Hall;,ffor no better officer ever wore the, Army blue. What a man he was. On April 7th we broke camp and started for the transport Manitoba, lying in he harbor. And right here I wan to relate an incident of that hike along the dusty Cuban road into the city. The clouds of dust from so many marching feet obstructed the view of everything except the closest objects; suddenly up in front the band struck up Sousa’s “Stars and Stripes Forever” and, as if so order ed, a gust of wind momentarily swept aside the clouds of dust, dis closing the Flag at the head of Com pany M’s column, in victory and in honor, on the way back to Holt Coun ty. Respectfully, J. B. Farnsworth, 4503—73rd St., S. E., Portland, Oregon Late Priv., Co. M., 3rd Neb. Infantry BRADDOCK—FRENCH Alton Gregory Brad^ock and Miss Helen Elizabeth French, both of Page, Nebraska, were united in mar riage on June 3rd by Rev.
