TO 33 VACANT
CHAIRS OF VETS
Stillwater. Minn, m Thirty-three
vacant chairs, draped in black, stood
as silent sentinels around a banquet
table Monday, witnesses that Char
ley Lockwood carry out the cove
nant of the Last Man's club.
Lockwood, 87 years old, is the last
man and Monday the club's only
law required of htm what he consid
ered the hardest task of his life.
the dramatic labor of drinking a
toast to 33 Civil war comrades who
died before him and left him with
the honor he has found empty. His
toast will follow the roll call, an
swered only by himself.
Before each chair stood a bouquet
ot flowers. Before Lockwood's plate
was placed the bottle of old Bur
gundy wine which the club set aside
at Its formation in 1885 for just this
event But the wine like the honor
has soured and a alp of it was all
that Lockwood asked to keep his
pledge. Monday night the bottle will
be turned over to a historical society.
Lockwood and his fellows were
survivors of company B, first Min
nesota volunteer infantry, and the
weird banquet, like those each year
before, was on the anniversary of
the first battle of Bull Run in
which the company' losses were ex
ceeded only by Gettysburg. The last
meetings only Lockwood, Peter Hall
and Charles Ooff answered roll call.
Hall and Ooff died during the
past year and only one of the group
who marched away to answer Lin
coln's call for volunteers in 1881,
lived to see the club's destiny of dis
solution reached.
