VETERANS IN BIG PARADE.
South Bend G. A. R. Posts Represented in Rochester Encampment.
Two South Bend veterans and members of the G. A. R. posts in this city will
participate in the monster parade of the Grand Army of the Republic and attend the
national encampment held at Rochester, N. Y., this week. They are W. E. Gorsuch and
William Dietrich, representatives of Norman Eddy post, No. 579 and Auton post, No. 8,
respectively. Col. Joseph Turnock and W. E. Brown were chosen as members of the
commander's staff, but illness kept both from attending the encampment. The
encampments in former years were attended by a number from this city, but this year the
two men and Mrs. Gorsuch were the only representatives of South Bend.
No delegates from the South Bend Sons of Veterans were named at the Indiana
encampment in Richmond last spring.
