WHAT GILMORE DID.
At the battle of Rappahannock Station Private John H. Gilmore, of Co. G, Sixth Wisconsin Regi¬ ment, had a personal encounter with one of the Louis¬ iana Tigers, and Gilmore, who is now a member of the National Home, came off the field victorious,bring- ing a large knife about 18 inches long. He used it for quite a long time on his farm in cutting corn. It is now in the private collection of Doc Aubery, bearing the following inscription: "Taken from one of the Louisiana Tigers by John II. Gilmore, at the battle of Rappahannock Station." Gilmore stopped the ra¬ tions of the Louisiana man and brought this knife into camp as a souvenir of the fight, and Gilmore still lives.
DIED TOGETHER.
At Antietam State Agent Scleek reports of the killed at that battle the following: Franklin Ger- laugh and Wm. P. Black, Co. A. Sixth Wisconsin Infantry, both in one grave, at the head of which a fine marble slab has been placed, "To the memory of Franklin Gerlaugh and Wm. P. Black, aged respect¬ ively nineteen years five months and twenty-one days. Killed at the Battle of Antietam, Sept. 17, 1863. Rest Soldier." The detailed records in the office of the adjutant-general of Wisconsin disclose some strange coincidents in relation to these two soldier boys. They show that they both enlisted in Co. A, Sixth Infantry, at Baraboo, May 10th, 1861. They were residents of the town of Fredonia, that they were
