VETERAN OF CIVIL WAR

(Special to The Daily Courier.)
KENNARD, Ind., April 30 - Harvey Chew, a Civil war veteran, and a prominent resident of Greensboro township, died at his home near here Thursday evening. Mr. Chew had been ill for several months with heart trouble and at many times during his illness his condition was quite serious.
Mr. Chew was about 72 years of age. He served a full three years of his enlistment in the Civil war in Co. D, 36th Indiana regiment and during one of the campaigns was wounded. He was a successful and well-to-do farmer and all that he had in earthly goods he had worked hard to obtain and his success is attributed to his energetic ways.
He is survived by his second wife, who was formerly Lillie Hinshaw, one son, Luther, and three daughters, Mrs. Homer Garriott of Newcastle, Mrs. Alice Stewart and one daughter in California. Two daughters, Mrs. Cora Casey and Anna Chew are dead. His first wife was Jennie Manlove.
The funeral will be held Sunday, the hour is not definitely known. Interment will be made at Knightstown.
Mr. Chew has been prominent in Henry county politics and served one term as county commissioner.

RESOLUTIONS
Harvey B. Chew, an honored member of George W. Lennard Post, G.A.R., departed this life April 29, 1915. He was one of a hundred men who on the 26th of August, 1861, were enrolled as Co. D, 36th Ind. Volunteer Infantry. He was a mere boy, not yet 18 years old, of a modest, retiring disposition, and would never have been selected as a model for a soldier, and yet in all that hundred men not one made a better record than Harvey Chew. He was never absent from his regiment but twice, once in a hospital with measles and again when severely wounded in battle at Wild Cat. It is doubtful if any one of the company responded to more roll calls than he. At the expiration of his term of service he reenlisted and served a year in another regiment. After his long and arduous service he entered upon that career in civil life which made him one of the best known and most successful farmers in the county. He was a loyal, brave soldier, a good neighbor and a good citizen. He died respected by all.
In view of these facts, be it
Resolved by his surviving comrades,
That we will cherish his memory and point to his successful life as worthy of emulation.
Resolved, That we extend to the widow and surviving children our sympathy and condolence; that a copy of these resolutions be sent the family and the local papers, and that the post room be draped for thirty days.
