WHO KNOWS OF HATCH'S HEIRS?
War Medal Belonging to Union Vet-
eran May be Had by Relatives.
Major George Q. Whitney. secretary
of the itith Regiment association, has
an interesting relic of the war which
he is aIIXIous to return to relatives of
the deceased. soldier. It is a metal med-
ai about the size of a silver half dol-
lar and bears on the obverse side the
American eagle and the inscription.
"The War of Union. 1861. 2 & 3.“ 0n
the reverse side is out near the edgc.
“Albert S. Hatch. Co. A. 16th licgt. C.
V.“ The center of that side is left
blank, for the names of the battles in
which the soldier fought. The medal
was found on the clam beach west of
Westbrook. embedded in the sand,
about five years ago, by Miss Cora H.
Stone, and was recently sent to Major
Whitney. Albert S. Hatch has been
dead many years and his relatives are
not known. _
These medals were sold by hucksters
in camps of Connecticut soldiers dur‘
ing the war and served to Identify
dead bodies on the field of battle- The
sellers of the medals were provided
with tools and dies with which they
cut on the medal the soldier’s name
and the battles he participated in. Me-
jor Whitney would like the address of
any living relative of Comrade Hatch.

ed that. his company had experienced
great difficulty in getting barges to
