                                                    THE OLD SOLDIERS.

Arkansas City Traveler, August 31, 1881. Editorial Page.

Delegates meeting—a permanent organization elected, committees appointed, and the time fixed for the reunion of the old soldiers of Cowley.

The meeting at Manning’s hall on Saturday, Aug. 20th, was well attended by the old soldiers. Capt. Haight with a section of his battery, put in a number of shots that sounded like old times to the boys. Messrs. Pixley, Requa, Woodruff, Roseberry, and others furnished old time martial music. At 11 a.m. the meeting was called to order with C. M. Wood in the chair, and Jake Nixon, secretary.

On motion, a committee of seven was appointed on permanent organization, consisting of Comrades Wells, Steuven, Stubblefield, Nixon, Waugh, Kretsinger, and Jennings. After some interesting remarks on the part of Capt. Stubblefield, J. W. Millspaugh, H. C. Catlin, and S. M. Jennings, the meeting ad­journed until 2 p.m.

The afternoon meeting showed an increase of delegates and much more enthusiasm. The committee on permanent organization beg to submit the following.

For President, Col. J. C. McMullen, of Winfield; for Vice President, we would recommend one from each township to be named by this meeting, and one from the city of Winfield. We submit the name of T. H. Soward. For recording secretary, Jake Nixon, of Vernon; for corresponding secretary, A. H. Green, Winfield; treasurer, J. B. Lynn, Winfield.

Executive committee—Col. McMullen, Capt. Stubblefield, Capt. Hunt, Capt. Tansey, T. B. Bryan, D. L. Kretsinger, and C. M. Wood.

Finance committee—J. B. Lynn, Captain Siverd, Capt. Myers, James Kelly, and Judge Bard.

Encampment—Dr. Wells, Capt. Steuven, and Capt. Haight.

                        NUMBER OF OLD SOLDIERS MENTIONED IN 1885.

                                              COWLEY’S OLD SOLDIERS.

Winfield Courier, Thursday, June 25, 1885.

County Clerk Hunt has completed the roll of old soldiers of the county for the Adjutant General, taken from the township assessment rolls. It shows 1,773—probably more than any other county in the State. One hundred and nine left the county during the past year and five hundred and fifty-two came in—an increase of five hundred and eighty-three. With such an army of old “vets” within her borders, no wonder Cowley is one of the staunchest Republican counties—one whose loyalty, substantiality, and general progress stands unexcelled. Nothing could speak louder for any county than a big enrollment of the men who stood by the nation in its darkest days and brought it out to the glorious light of unity and prosperity. Of course, this roll is not considered complete—a complete census of old soldiers is almost impossible. It is safe to say that Cowley has over two thousand old soldiers.
