Note: there was no year on this, but item #1, was dated 1906. So that is a possibility of the year.
If it is 1906, Tuesday, the 23rd occurred in January and
October, (ejj).
II. REUNION OF COMPANY K
In 1862, Mitchell County's own Company K. of the 27th Iowa
Infantry entered the service. After three years of service
and after the war closed, many of the company returned to
Mitchell County. A few are left in the county, a few other
are scattered in other states. To all who remain, the
chance to meet is one of the happiest events of their lives.
Every year or two as large a number as can get together with
their wives at one of the homes in Osage.
Tuesday, the 23rd, such a gathering occurred at the
hospitable home of
George T. Frazee one of the members of
Co. G. of the same Regiment. Sergeant
S. A. Carter, to his
comrades know as "Dell" Carter of Co. K, with his wife came
from their home at Coleman, S.D. and they were the guests of
honor.
Mrs. Carter was a Miss Drake, her girlhood home having been
in Burr Oak township from which about twenty-five boys
enlisted in the war.
Those present Tuesday were S. A. Carter and wife;
Henry
Drake, Hi Wynn,
Charles Sweney and wife,
John B. Ryndes and
wife, Horace Piper of Mitchell,
C. H. Davis and wife,
B. C.
Hutchins and wife,
Austin H. White and wife,
J. H. Sweney and the host and hostess G. T. Frazee and wife.
