HON OF LIGHT GUARD
BODYGUARD OF PIES. LINCOLN
Washington, I). C., August IS—
A reunion of the Union Light j
Guard, which was the bodyguard '
of President 1-in coin for two years'
during the civil war, is planned tn
Washington during the encamp-'
ment or the Grand Army °f the Re
public September 27 to October 2. ]
While conversing with Secretary
of War Stanton in 1S63 the gov
ernor o" Ohio offered to obtain a
bodyguard for President Lincoln.
Secretary Stanton accepted the of
fer. The governor thereupon asked
for a Dicked man from each county '
io Ohio, but did not say what the
sendee was to be.
Kach man thought he was pcing
to the front, or to lead a "forlorn
hope," and gave his life when
he enlisted and it was accepted as
a sacrifice to his country. When the
soldiers arrived ia Washington they
informed they were to be the
bodyguard of the president, and
they served as such until after ihe
war closed.
. They were quartered upon the el
lipse south o£ the treasury, and
some of tliem were on guard every
hour, two "hours being the limit for
eoch day"1 and night, winter and (
summer. There were Ids men in
the company, and "nearly every coun
tv was rep res t-nted; a few being
slew in responding, the deficiency
was made up from other counties. t
They were rausterd in at Columbus,
Ohio, December 17, 1863, and their
enlistment wag for three years of
the war.
The mustering officer was Oa.pt
Elmer Ot's, 4th United States Cav
alry. Thev left for Washington De
cember 22, 1863, and reported to
the secretary of war, learning for
the first time their mission.
The soldiers were not all kept
about the White House, but were
at times 'n Virginia, below AJexan
ar a, and along the river to a
point opposite Georgetown, scat
tered about Washington and the
forts surrounding the city, but al
ways a goodly number was kept
on duty about the White House.
After bting mustered out of ser
vice the members scattered, and It
!;as been difficult to trace them,
but at tha encampment of the O
A. R in Toledo in 1908 nine gath
ered and effected an organization
with Lieut George C. Ashmun as
president and Robert W. McBHde
as secretary.
It was decided that a more thor
ough search should be made to
Iicate the missing members, bo
tha* thev might have the privilege
o' "touching elbows" again In a
peaceful organization, l^ast yeflT
t'.ere was a meeting of the surviv
ors in Detroit, Mich., nnd another
