Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Transactions of the First Annual Reunion of the 122d Regiment Pennsylvania Volunteers: Held at Lancaster, Pa;, Thursday, May 17, 1883 At 2 o´clock the members assembled at Mænnerchor Hall, and, after forming by companies, marched down East King street, led by the City Band, and, escorted by a delegation of the George H. Thomas Post, G. A. R., they marched to Centre Square and around the Soldiers Monument. After indulging in a short street parade the members marched to Fulton Hall. The stage was occupied by Colonel Emlen Franklin, Lieut. Colonel Edward McGovern, Adjutant D. H. Heitshu, Chaplain Elim Kirk, Quartermaster John T. MacGonigle, Captain George Musser, the Speakers and the Committee of Arrangements. The Band played "Star Spangled Banner," and "Yankee Doodle." Mayor MacGonigle called the meeting to order, and nominated Col. Emlen Franklin for President. The nomination met with vociferous applause, and when the Colonel stepped forward three hearty cheers were given him. Colonel Emlen Franklin´s Speech. The Colonel made a brief speech of welcome, beginning with the remark that there was no need to tell how proud and happy he felt on having been called on to preside, and saying that there was no need to speak in a formal manner to them, for they knew as well as he the object and intents of the re-union. It was a sort of family gathering, where old memories would be recalled. For years this re-union had been talked of among the comrades abroad as well as those here in Lancaster, and the large, enthusiastic meeting was the result of that agitation. Words failed him on this occasion. The feelings that filled his breast throbbed also in theirs. Twenty ears had passed since the Regiment returned from the war, and what recollections come with the occasion? The memory of the dead was tinged with sadness, but the braves who went before now sleep the sleep of the blest.
