Before closing this chronicle I must satisfy the curiosity of my
readers upon a few points in which they may feel interested.
The Rossville Guards are still in existence, "and Frank is still
their captain. They have already done escort duty on several
occasions, and once they visited Boston, and marched up State
Street with a precision of step which would have done no
discredit to veteran soldiers.
Dick Bumstead's reformation proved to be a permanent one. He is
Frank's most intimate friend, and with his assistance is laboring
to remedy the defects of his early education. He has plenty of
ability, and, now that he has turned over a new leaf, I have no
hesitation in predicting for him a useful and honorable career.
Old Mrs. Payson has left Rossville, much to the delight of her
grandson Sam, who never could get along with his grandmother. She
still wears for best the "bunnit" presented her by Cynthy Ann,
which, notwithstanding its mishap, seems likely to last her to
the end of her natural life.
