Evening Republican, Volume 14, Number 236, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 4 October 1910 — Member of Grant's Staff in St. Paul. [ARTICLE]

Member of Grant's Staff in St. Paul.

Only two of Gen. U. 8. Grant’s staff who were with him at the surrender of Lee at Appomattox are still living. One of these Is Gen. Horace Porter, formerly minister to Prance, and who now Is retired and lives In New York city. The other, Gen. Michael R. Morgan, retired, lives In 81 Paul. It was to General Morgan that Grant turned aftbr his brief consultation with Lee in the parlor of the McLane house at Appomattox and gave him the charge to “Peed Lee’s army.” It was General Morgan, who, riding back with General Grant through the dusk of that same evening to the Union lines, when the picket guns were raised against him, gave the great news to the soldiers; "Throw down your guns, boys. The war’s over.” General Morgan Is seventy-six years old. He has been a soldier all his life, and he looks the soldier still—a bluff, weather-beaten man, with the winds of many campaigns in his face; stocky and stalwart and strong looking. V
