Excerpt from Report of the First Reunion of the Association of Descendant of Andrew Ward: Held at Farfield, Conn;, May 10th, 1905 In the absence of the President, the Secretary moved that General Joseph Wheeler, U. S. A., as the oldest living vice-president present, be requested to preside. And the motion. Being enthusiastically carried, General Wheeler took the chair, amid applause. Having called the meeting to order, the chairman spoke as fol' lows: I feel very much honored in being called upon to preside over this meeting, and I hope that every one present will feel, as I do, the mandate that is upon us to preserve the records of ancestry. Every religion on earth commands in some way the honor or worship of ancestry. We sometimes build monuments to our ancestors, but this is not always possible. Certainly the least that we can do is to preserve their rec ords. What a disappointment it would be for us to think that in a few years our descendants would not even think enough of us to pre* serve our names. Therefore, besides following our inclination, we are following the command of God in preserving the records of our ancestors. O'ur religion says Honor thy father and thy mother, and all other religions have in some form a command of that kind.
