                            LAST OF THE OLD GUARD
                               20 FEBRUARY 1902
     Albany Hearld: A pathetic festive occasion was the gathering at the
residence of John G. LaRoque, in Albany a few days ago, of the six surviving
members of the Albany Guards, the guests of Mr. and Mrs. LaRoque at dinner. Only
six of over fifty gallant souls that marched away in '61 to do battle for the
cause that was loved and lost. In the May-day of youth, they went to the wars,
in the ideal of the November of life, but six are left to tell the story of
their valor. Verily the veterans are going fast; let the young generation make
their last days pleasant.
