times that we were not all killed by t h e m.Liberty township, where, the writer of this sketch was born six years before Iowa became a state, has sent out into the world men of mark and distinction, men we may be proud of, men who stood at the head lt;d their profession, men that have served their state in the legislative halls, men who when the stirring time of 'the rebellion came «n and the war 1clouds began to gather were the fir't to enter the service of their country, and many of them still remain in the 1national cemeteries and on Southern 1battlefields. All that remains of that great army are with trembling steps 1 nearing their last roll call and in a 1 few more years there will be none left c to tell about that terrible struggle. 1W. If. SULLIVAN.t
