Lockwood still “hale and hearty,” .went to the banquet in the musty old hall room of the ho- tel where 33 empty chairs draped in mourning were silent witnesses of the faithfulness to the pledge he had made to their former occupants 45 years earlier. Recites Last Toast The ceremony was short and sim- ple. Lockwood arase, took one sip of the acrid wige and feeited, a toast: % v “The camp fire smoulders — ashes 1411; The clouds are black against the sky; No tap of drums, no bugle call; My comrades, all goodbye.” Then he pronounced the Last Man’s Club dissolved. The toast had been agreed upon at the club's first meeting. Lockwood served through the en- tire Civil War.
