Although the Al it pc girls won prizes the Success of the Sale was due to the Fine Effort of every girl scout and we arc proud of All of them. The interest that exists within the hearts and minds of residents of Putnam county in All kinds of exercises which commemorates the Soldier dead of the county is thoroughly justifiable because from among the families of Putnam there went More than two thousand men and boys into the armies of the United states during the several years beginning with 1861. This number does not include the very considerable number who went from Here into service South of the Mason and Dixon line because their sympathies in the conflict of that period were with the states from which their fathers had immigrated into Putnam. Most of the families of the county that furnished soldiers in those years yet have representatives among its residents now. And these. It May be expected will again turn their thoughts to the deeds of their dead relatives. But in addition to these Many families have moved into the county who had soldiers within their numbers in other communities and these will join with the older families of the county in giving Honor to our Soldier dead. In addition to the men and youths who entered the army organization there were Many others who could not leave Home for service and who enlisted in military companies that were drilled and armed As reserves partly for the Protection of their Home communities from the threat of rapiers. But most of them formed with the understanding that if needed by their country they would take the Field in its defense. These companies of Home guards were for the most part the Ellsworth Grays. Warren Union guards. Bourdon Grays Enfield rovers Floyd township Home guards Allens Battery. Franklin guards. Putnam blues. Jefferson cavalry Marion scouts and Jackson guards.
