Cares of business and affairs of politics were forgotten, and the old soldiers, democrat, greenbacker and republican assembled in Odd Fellows hall, clasped hands in fraternal friendship (27 in all) and organized a G. A. R. post, and named it Lewis G. Balding Post, after a lieutenant of the 3d Cavalry, who went from Libertyville, and was a brave and gallant soldier, sacrificing his life in his country's cause. In the evening they were joined by eleven battle-scarred chiefs from George Strong Post of your city. At about 8 o'clock in the evening they repaired to the M. E. Church where the ladies (heaven bless them, their names should be mentioned in song) had spread a bountiful repast, and over three hundred partook of supper amid the screaming of the brass band, the chanting of the violin and organ, and the sublime symphony of the glee club orchestry. After the supper was cleared away, the installation of officers followed. After this the dashing cavalier, the soldier's friend, the people's favorite, Capt. Burgess, of Fairfield, made a stirring and dramatic speech, which brought a sad and far-away look in the old veteran's eyes, as he reviewed that awful struggle, when they stood as breast-works when leaden invitations to funerals were being sent North by the dear friends of the South. And we thought as we reviewed the veteran guards that slowly, but surely, time was changing the boys in blue to the boys in gray. RENRUT "Fairfield Tribune", Wed., Aug. 31, 1898, Pg. 5, Col. 6 William BALDING, whose two sons, Lewis and George, were two of the noblest young men our county ever knew. George was drill-master for the recruits that went to the Second Iowa in Tennessee in 1864, and his good nature and patience won for him their good will, and he was chosen lieutenant. Lewis, who had been a student in the Mt. Pleasant College, was a sergeant in the Third Cavalry and in an engagement in Missouri was shot through the body and fills a soldier's grave...... H. Heaton
