The Five Brothers Survive
Quiet but Remarkable Reunion of War Veterans in this City.
Samuel Flint Babbitt of Post 10, apropos of the Boston celebration this week, held a reunion of veterans at his house on John street, Thursday.
His four brothers all veterans, joined him in a comrades' and family reunion dinner.
The party included S. F. Babbitt of Worcester, 4th Massachusetts heaavy artillery;

Edward Babbitt, Columbus, O., 3rd Ohio volunteers;
A. Perry Babbitt, Columbus, O., U. S. N.;

It is a remarkable fact that five brothers of one family should enlist, serve their term of enlistment, and all be living 25 years after the war.
They all attended the Boston parade and encampment.
