OLD SOLDIERS CAPTURE EBENSBURG On Wednesday the One Hundred and Thirty-third Regiment, P. V. I. held its 11th annual reunion in this place. The old soldiers completely captured the town. From the time the advance guard in the shape of President Thomas Davis’ and Secretary F. H. Barndollar arrived until the camp fire was over and the reunion at an end the old solders were the centers of attraction and the objects of attention. No effort was spared by the people of this place in welcoming them. All the business houses and many private residences were lavishly decorated with flags and bunting while the interiors of the courthouse and the opera house were gracefully festooned with the national colors, flags being draped at nearly every point where one could be used to advantage. At 10:30 o’clock about 65 veterans from Ebensburg and vicinity gathered at the courthouse and headed by the Ebensburg Band marched to the railroad station to meet their old comrades coming in from Cresson. When the tardy train arrived the meeting veterans were ranged in line by Col. S. W. Davis and the old soldiers preceded by the band marched to “the diamond” and then disbanded. Dinner was the next event. And such a dinner it was. The repast was served in the opera house by the ladies of this place, assisted by the Sons of Veterans. The soldiers unanimously declare that it was about the best meal they ever sat down to. No detail was forgotten. Everything was there and there was more than enough for all. The business meeting of the regiment was held in the courthouse in the afternoon, starting at 2:15 o’clock, with Dr. Thomas Davis of Pittsburg; presiding Secretary E. B. Barndollar of Bedford read the minutes of the Johnstown reunion and then V. S. Barker, chairman of the arrangement committee, announced that there was no formal program, as it was impossible to tell in advance who would attend. On behalf of the ladies he announced that they would serve supper to all old soldiers and that the tables would be set in the opera house again. Burgess Ed James welcomed the veterans to Ebensburg and Dr. Davis replied on behalf of the regiment. Dr. Davis made an eloquent speech. He referred to the welcome given the regiment in Ebensburg on its return from the war and said he was glad to state that the ladies now are as good cooks as their mothers were at that time. He also referred feelingly to the officers and men of the regiment who had answered the last roll call. The Rev. W. L. Jones of Ebensburg, who with J. D. Parrish and John A. Blair are the only survivors of the Mexican War in this place, thanked Burgess James for not forgetting to mention the Mexican War veterans. Dr. Davis then said he was desirous of learning the names of the oldest members of the regiment and asked those born before 1835 to stand up. Several responded, as follow: Cyrus H. Sprunk, 1827; Isaac B. Bowser, 1828; Milton Jones and Crispin Dorer, 1829; Leonard Boyer, J. T. Malloy and Isaac Jones, 1833. The following are the names of the veterans present: A. V.
