AMUSING INCIDENT.–
12. February 2009 by admin.
Charles Gates, a minor son wished to enlist, but his aged parents objected to it. One morning he was sent to drive the cows to pasture, on his way to work, taking his dinner with him. But at night he did not come back, because he had run away and enlisted. He remained through the three years without a furlough, and returned with the regiment unharmed by rebel bullets. He arrived in the old pasture at home one night just at “cow-time,” and leisurely drove up the same old cows as if he hadn’t been away for three years. His “reception” was a joyful one, none the less so because his coming was a complete surprise.
