Garver, has been chosen to take charge of the Department colors of the state of Iowa, at the National Encampment, which meets in Washington, September next. There were many applications for the office, and we consider it a high honor conferred upon Capt. Garver, who was tendered the office without any effort on his part. He met the Dept. commander and his Chief of Staff while at the Storm Lake reunion last month, and was then tendered the position. He will select his color guard in the mean time and be in readiness as the colors will be sent to him at Inwood. July 15, 1892 Inwood Herald
