Osceola is 10 miles east of South Bend and 6 miles west of Elkhart. I do hope that some of the boys from Jasper and Newton counties will be there. Please do not fail to attend yourself. E. P. HAMMOND. Col. Hammond formed Co. A in this city at the outbreak of the civil war and left here as its captain. Later he was promoted to a colonelcy in the 87th Indiana. Col. Hammond and Lieut.

Some of the members of the company from this city are: William Hoover, Erastus Peacock, George Morgan, Whitsei Lewis and Thomas Crockett. It is probable that all will attend.
