proprietor of the Carleton Hotel; Mrs. Moulton, wife of Colonel Moulton,
of the Second Illinois, and Mrs. Rich, a quiet, modest lady of this
city. These gave their whole time to the work of devising ways and means
for promoting the comfort and health of the sick. They made chicken
broth, ice cream, wine jellies and a variety of delicacies grateful to
the palates of the sick soldiers. Other Jacksonville ladies did much in
this direction, but these ladies were constant and untiring in their
efforts. Though Mrs. Marshall had many of the soldiers cared for free of
charge at her own hotel, never for a day was she absent from the camp.
She was a veritable ministering angel, and the Red Cross is greatly

people of Chicago bestowed their benefactions. Five days out of every
week found Mrs. Rich at one of the division hospitals, making her ice
cream for the boys and giving them a taste of her delicious wine
jellies. When the Red Cross learned of her excellent work it took pains
to keep her supplied with all needed material, beside furnishing a
twenty-five quart ice cream freezer with which to do her work. All of
these women deserve a more extended and a worthier tribute than we can
