| The death of George T. Daniels, following so soon after that of Capt. R. O. Houghton, is a reminder of how fast the soldiers of the late war, especially those who received wounds in the service, are passing away. What these men suffered in the field and hospital and since returning home, few of the present generation can in any degree realize. The tendency to forget the losses and sufferings which the soldiers of the civil war endured should be overcome and the veterans of the Grand Army should receive the cordial co-operation of all patriotic citizens in their annual tribute to those who died that the country might live, whether death came instantly on the battle field, or their lives were prolonged through several decades of suffering. |
