Not simply because the facea portray the citixen paat *b*ei*httttb miteatone” but because, as husband and wife, they have traveled down Ufa's pathway hand in hand for sixty years. A halo of devotion crowns them in thsir close companiooahip and their advancing years.

TOs aarly training and way of living enabled her in later years to bear the hardships of life, when her husband was called to battle for his country daring the strife between the North and South.Mr. Naugle snlisted in the 6th, Iq^ab*Cavalry, August 18, 1862, and served until the close of the war. He is one of the few, of that vast .rmj cf men, who came safely out of the conflict and who are oow banded together in an orgaoixed body— the Grand Army of the Republic. He recalls and recounts many thrilling experiences of war days. Among them is the hungry soldier, hunting for sufficient food to sustain strength Leaving his comrades, he started out alone in search of supplies. A military movement while away from camp cut him off from his regiment. A detachment of the Southern soldiers arrived in the vicinity and change of baee was quickly made. For eleven days, Mr. Naugle bad no communication with hia regiment and during that time waa harassed by the thought of capture—hiding in daylight and walking at night. Hia only food was the buds of the trees and such other things he could find in his wsndering.
