Hag Flag Returned to Him By John A. Logan.

There is hanging in the A F. Long drug store a flag which was carried by the boys in Blue during the Civil War. This flag was purchased by Frank J. Sear and presented by him to General John A- Logan and was carried by the last three months company raised for service in that conflict. _ At the close of the war the flag was returned by General Logan 'to Mr. Sear and he rightly prizes it very highly. Mr. Sear was for a number of years one of Rensselaer’s leading bankers. He was connected with the Commercial Bank, which was later succeeded by the First National Bank. Mrs. Sear is a sister of Mrs. A. F. Long and Mrs. Joseph F. Hardman, of this city. Mr. and Mrs. Sear are now visiting relatives here.
