Jasper County Democrat, Volume 17, Number 11, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 13 May 1914 — An Honor Well Bestowed. [ARTICLE]

An Honor Well Bestowed.

The state encampment of the Indiana G. A. R., held at Indianapolis last week, elected Bro. A. B. Crampton, of the Carroll County CitizenTimes, as department commander, to succeed D. W. Comstock, of Richmond. Mr. Crampton was opposed by D. Wilson and W. W. Dougherty, of Indianapolis, and Thomas B. Buskirk, of Paoli, but he was elected on the first ballot. Bro. Crampton is one of the most popular democratic editors in Indiana, and is perhaps the youngest looking, as well as the “be;4 feeler" among the old soldiers of the state.
