Reception of Civil War Troops
Reception of Troops
Committee of Finance. —Messrs. E. B. Ward, David Preston, 0. H. Buhl, John Owen, C. 0. Trowbridge, R. M". Rice, Mark Flanigan, W. K. Muir, Edmund Trowbridge, and Ira Davis.
Mr. H. K. Johnson was selected as purveyor and superintendent of tables, performing much service, receiving the approval of all, and with a kindly heart contributed largely to the comforts of the soldier by his untiring care and attention.
The services of these committees were gratuitous, involving much labor, both early and late. They were aided in their attentive services by a number of ladies and gentlemen who gave their attendance at the tables, while the citizens generally contributed liberally, rendering the object an entire success. From June 4th, 1865, down to June 10th, 1866, 19, 510 Michigan and 3, 506 Wisconsin troops were hospitably received and substantially entertained.
