of my aged father were considerably whiter than when I left. Mother I
was rejoiced to find looking so well. That frail casket which I feared
so much could never see this happy day on earth, has retained its
vitality to a wonderful extent. Thomas, John, Margaret, Mary, Hannah and
Ellen were the same in appearance as when I left, but Jane had grown
from a school girl to the full proportions of a woman, and I scarcely
could recognize her. The little boys are grown and much changed, but yet
the same.
And this is not all the change. I left them without a place to call
home, but found them situated in a lovely location, a pleasant house and
expanding fields, for which I felt very thankful. But there was no time
left for such thoughts that evening. Among other kindnesses I had bread
and milk.
Spring Green, Tuesday, July 4. A happy day to the happy family. Fourteen
of us filled the old family wagon and crossed the river to Spring Green
where I met several of my Battery chums. A pleasant picnic passed off
here for the benefit of the soldier boys. It was great gratification to
know that our old friends welcomed us home so cordially. I read the
Declaration of Independence and Reverend Phillips addressed.
Madison, Thursday, July 6. In accordance to orders I reported at Madison
in company with Sister Mary and Brother John. Found an officer with
great difficulty and was told that I was not needed until the 11th.
Mazomanie, Wis., Monday, July 10. Another family load of us attended the
Equescurriculum [circus] at Mazomanie, intending to go into Madison in
the evening, but word was sent that they don't want us till the 13th.
Spring Green, Thursday, July 13. Have been on a two days' visit amongst
my old associates of Spring Green. Was to go in to Madison from there
for my discharge, but they are not ready now till Monday. So it goes. I
am going into the harvest field to work.
Madison, Monday, July 17. According to orders the 6th Battery was once
more together in Madison by 2 P. M. anxious for the final action which
places each upon an equality with the other. But disappointment appears
to be the rule; to-morrow, 10 A. M., is the time.
[Illustration: 6th Wisconsin Battery Reunion--Richland Center, Wis.,
Aug. 27, 1897]
[Sidenote: 1865 Mustered Out]
Madison, Tuesday, July 18. The rolls have returned with Lieutenant
Colonel Giddings' (mustering officer) signature annexed, and the
military tie which bound us together as the 6th Battery has ceased to
exist.
10 A. M. we assembled once more and in the yard in front of Captain
Simpson's office, in the city of Madison, signed the final pay rolls,
and received the much-coveted scrip "Discharge", bearing date of July
18. "Mustered out of United States service on the 3rd of July". It was
not an hour of noisy demonstration, but happiness too sweet for
utterance prevails, the emotion of thankfulness filling the dullest
breast, "Free! Free!" was the exclamation of many as they became
possessors of the prizes.
But to me it brought many dark and serious thoughts to mind. Yes, free,
but for the first time in my life I am my only dictator as to what
course to pursue. Have arrived at age with life's issue fairly before
me, and undecided what course to pursue. Inclination and duty seem
strangely at variance. The importance of such questions is almost
oppressive. But I must strive to attain the highest good that lies in my
power. The dictates of conscience shall be my guide. To-night I retrace
my steps to my quiet valley home. The many tender ties which bind me to
my comrades of the march, battle and camp, are more than likely forever
broken on this earth. And the diary which I have kept unbroken is hereby
ended with the end of my service, having lived two years and eleven
months in the service of my country. Three of the best years of my life
have been lost to self-instruction, and the plans and hopes of my
childhood have been ruthlessly toppled down, but the time has not been
lost. I have no regrets for the way it has been spent. My prayer is that
the remainder of my life may be as usefully spent. So, dear Diary,
good-bye!
Jenk. Ll. Jones.
