Eighteenth Year - Number 35
Marlin, Texas, Saturday, September 21, 1907
-----
Days that are Remembered.
-----
The 16th and 17th of
September, which were on Monday and Tuesday of this week, are days that are
remembered and will continue to be remembered by veterans who participated in
the battle of Antietam, fought 45 years ago, in 1862.
In Marlin there are several confederate
veterans and (missing) union men who engaged in (missing) bloody and destructive
engagement which cost the northern army a large percentage of its forces and in
which the south lost heavily. The battle was considered a draw by both
sides and has so been treated in history, but the death of so many of the
confederates was to the south an irreparable loss, though smaller than that
suffered by the union army.
