Annual Reunion of Company A, 87th Indiana.

The annual reunion of Co. A, 87th Indiana Volunteers, will take place in the court house yard on Wednesday, August 11, which is the anniversary of the date they departed for the war in ’62. There are but few surviving members of this company still living here, scarcely enough for a corporal’s guard, and invitations will be sent to their old colonel and surgeon, E. P. Hammond, of Lafayette, and Dr. Triplett, of Morocco, to be with them next Wednesday. Also an invitation is extended to all old soldiers of Rensselaer and vicinity, all auxilliary organizations of the G. A. R., and to all the old settlers who were here when the company left Rensselaer. Tables will be spread under the trees on the court house lawn and a fine basket dinner will be served, all being to bring their baskets of food and join the “old vets” in their dinner. There will probably be short talks by many of the old soldiers present. Rev. Green, of Rensselaer, will deliver an address. .
