Former Resident Recalls Both Gen. Milroy and His Father.

Balaton, Minn., July 12, 1910. Editor Republican: In sending you money for another year for the Republican, I also enclose SI.OO for the Milroy monument fund. Crops are fine here, and while we are very much in love with our adopted state, we still have a very warm place in our hearts for our old Indiana home, and in sending you this small contribution for the monument fund, I send it partly for the old times I have heard my mother tell about, when she was a little girl, and lived neighbors to General Milroy’s father, who was also a general (in the Mexican war, I think) and who used to take Indians to and from their reservations to Washington, making Delphi their camping place, sometimes for weeks at a time. Also the old general’s son, John, brother to Gen. Milroy, married my mother’s cousin, a Miss Stansel. My mother as a very small girl, lived in Delphi, when the M. E. people worshiped in a log church.

MRS. WM. FULLER.
