fames Passons Entertaining Brother From Served in Army When Youths. B. H. Passons, of Eaton, Colo., Arrived here yesterday for a visit with his brother, James Passons, whom he had not seen for 43 years. The reunion was a pleasant ode and they will have a splendid visit for four or five days. When they separated 43 years ago James was living at Peru, wfhere the family had resided for several years. B. H. was at that time living in Pulaski county. .He went first to lowa and later to Colorado, where he has lived for the past 32 years. Although they had kept some track of each other during all the intervening years they had not met until his arrival (here. James is in his 70th year and his brother will be 67 in May. Both served in the union army, Jim being a member of the 46th Indiana and his brother in the 13th Indiana cavalry. Both are enjoying quite good health and living retired lives. It is probable that Jim will arrange to take a trip to Colorado before long and repay the visit his brother is now making him.
