Volunteerism
Recently, I’ve been thinking about volunteerism and its
role in the history of our great country. As members of
the SUVCW, of course we are all descendants of Civil
War soldiers and sailors. No doubt most of our ancestors
were members of volunteer infantry regiments, cavalry
regiments, artillery batteries, or volunteered to serve as
sailors in the U.S. Navy or in the Revenue Cutter
Service, although some may have been U. S. regulars.
We are over 100 strong in Lincoln-Cushing. Wouldn’t it
be a good project to compile a list of the various orga-
nizations our ancestors belonged to? Taking it a step
further, we could include a short paragraph outlining
the war service of each organization. (continued on Page 9)

Real Daughter Cora Lee Johnson, Daughter of
Pvt. Alonzo Johnson,
Passes Away
All honor to the woman who held the hand
of a man who helped save the Union.
Real Daughter Cora Lee Johnson-Jackson, of
Washington, DC, passed away 7 February at the age
of 94. Born on 20 June 1919, she was the 14th of 15
children born to Alonzo Johnson, late Private,
Company F, 45th US Colored Infantry, a unit which
was part of the 25th Corps. Private Johnson saw
service in the last campaigns of the Civil War and
was at Appomattox Court House on 9 April 1865.
Sister Johnson-Jackson was the aunt of Brother Ricardo Johnson, a long-time member of the Lincoln-Cushing Camp.
Brother Lee Stone, who attended her funeral, had
this to say: “The church was almost full at her
funeral, and there were many heartfelt tributes to her
love of God, family, and community, and her grit
and determination. She produced 20 (that’s twenty)
children, and when the leader of the service asked
‘family’ to stand, nearly half those in the church
stood up.”
On 15 February, Department Commander Mark
Day issued Order #4 instructing the department
and all camps in the Department of Chesapeake
to honor her by draping their charters and every
brother draping their badges in black during a 30
day mourning period.
SUVCW Commander-in-Chief Ken Freshley adopted Department Commander Day’s order and issued it as Na-
tional Order #13 on 16 February, making the period of mourning for Sister Johnson-Jackson nationwide.
Camp Commander Richard Griffin sent condolences to Brother Ricardo Johnson and his family with these words:
“We all owe a debt of gratitude to Private Johnson and his comrades. We are also greatly indebted to
your aunt and all she did to preserve the memory of her father and the cause for which he fought.
I know you must be very proud of her, and that pride must temper your sorrow at her loss.”
Brother Johnson, we all share your loss.

Historic Decoration Day
Ceremony at Arlington
National Cemetery
30 May, 2014
Camp Meeting to Follow at Ft. Myer
OC with Brother Keith Young, PDC
as Guest Speaker
On Friday, 30 May, 2014, at 5:00 pm the SUVCW will again carry forward the tradition of the Decoration Day cer-
emony at Arlington National Cemetery’s Old Amphitheatre and Tomb of the Civil War Unknowns. This ceremony is
derived from the 1893 ceremony performed by the GAR Farragut Post, No. 10 and SUV Cushing Camp, No. 30, the
predecessor of the SUVCW Lincoln-Cushing Camp.
As in prior years, invited guests will include the National Leadership of the Allied Orders, MOLLUS, DOLLUS,
and the Gettysburg Blues Color Guard. There will be brief comments and the laying of the wreaths by the SUVCW,
Woman’s Relief Corps, Ladies of the GAR, Auxiliary of the SUVCW, Military Order of the Loyal Legion, Daughters of
Union Veterans of the Civil War, and the Dames of the Loyal Legion.
This year is the 150th
anniversary of Arlington
becoming a national mili-
tary cemetery, as a result we
will be partnering with the
United States Army in our
annual ceremony. One of
the special guests in atten-
dance will be Patrick Hol-
linan, Executive Director of
Army National Cemeter-
ies. Mr. Hollinan will be
announcing the renaming
of the Old Amphitheatre in
honor of a prominent Civil
War veteran. Joining him
will be our own JVCinC
Eugene Mortorff.
Following the ceremony, at
6:30 pm, the Lincoln-Cush-
ing Camp meeting will take place at
the Ft. Myer Officers’ Club located
at 214 Jackson Avenue, Ft. Myer,
Virginia. There will be a social hour,
followed by dinner, and a presenta-
tion by our guest speaker, Brother
Keith Young, PDC. Note, the RSVP
deadline is 23 May. Due to limita-
tions at the Officers’ Club EVERY-
ONE must RSVP by the deadline.
Walk-ins cannot be accepted.
Check the last page of this
newsletter for menu options
and the reservation form.
Brother Young will be giving
a historical overview of St.
Elizabeth’s Hospital, Wash-
ington, D.C. The hospital
is the nation’s first federal
mental health facility and
dates back to 1855. During
the Civil War, St. Elizabeth’s
played a small, but impor-
tant, part by hosting Army
and Navy general hospitals
in addition to the mental
patients. After the war the
hospital played a major role
in treating those soldiers
psychologically damaged by
their wartime experiences. The hos-
pital campus contains both wartime
and post-Civil War cemeteries for
both military personnel and civilians
who died at the facility.

Friends of Fort Ward Bus Tour:
Civil War Defenses of Washington
By Commander Richard Griffin
On March 22nd, Brothers Lee Stone and Dick Griffin participated in a tour
of a portion of the Civil War defenses of Washington. The tour was spon-
sored by the Friends of Fort Ward and led by Dr. B. F. Cooling, a recognized
expert on the defenses of Washington. Amongst his many published works
are Mr. Lincoln’s Forts (co-authored with Wally Owen, Curator at Fort
Ward), The Day Lincoln Was Almost Shot: the Fort Stevens Story, and Jubal
Early’s Raid on Washington.
The first stop was Fort Foote, a battery situated on a bluff overlooking the
Potomac on the Maryland side of the river. It was built to command the
approaches to Alexandria and Washington and boasted 15 inch Rodman
cannons. An original cannon is still there and has been remounted on a
reproduction carriage, making an impressive display.
The rest of the tour stops, all in Northwest DC, were related
to Lieutenant General Jubal Early’s July, 1864 attack on
Washington: Fort DeRussy, Fort Stevens and Battleground
National Cemetery. Fort DeRussy was built on a hill to pro-
vide a cross fire upon the approaches to Fort Stevens on the
7th Street Pike (now Georgia Avenue). It was named in honor
of Union Brig. Gen. Rene Edward DeRussy, a former Super-
intendent of West Point. Dr. Cooling explained the role of the
fort in controlling the 7th Street Pike and the country roads
in the vicinity and in supporting Fort Stevens in
Early’s attack.
After a picnic box lunch at Fort
DeRussy, the tour continued to Fort
Stevens, the focal point of General
Early’s attack on July 11-12. Presi-
dent Lincoln visited Fort Stevens on
both days, and actually came under
fire from Confederate sharpshooters
on the 12th while standing on the
parapet of the fort. A story, prob-
ably apocryphal, relates that an army
officer, noting that incoming fire was
coming uncomfortably close to the
President, shouted, “Get down, you
damned fool!”
Fort Stevens was built to defend the
approaches to Washington from the
7th Street Pike, the main thorough-
fare from the north into the city. Dr.
Cooling explained how the defenses
of Washington were belatedly rein-
forced by VI Corps troops released
from the Richmond-Petersburg
front and by field artillery batteries
and invalid troops from Washing-
ton. Some historians say the Con-
federates missed an opportunity to
punch through Union lines before
the VI Corps reinforcements arrived
and filed into the field fortifications;
however, after a careful inspection
of the fortifications in front of his
position, General Early decided not
to make the attempt and to disen-
gage and return to the Shenandoah
Valley. (continued on Page 5)

The final tour stop was at Battleground
National Cemetery, where casualties of the
Battle of Fort Stevens are buried. The cemetery
was constructed on part of the actual battlefield.
Today, it is in the middle of an urban neigh-
borhood, but the presence of forty-one graves
of Union soldiers who died in defense of their
country in the battle gives a powerful message
to visitors. Besides the graves, the cemetery
contains monuments to the 25th New York
Volunteer Cavalry, 98th Pennsylvania Volunteer
Infantry, 122nd New York Volunteer Infantry,
and the 150th Ohio National Guard.
All in all, the tour was a very enjoyable and
instructive. We commend Friends of Fort Ward
tours to all who are interested in the Civil War.

President Lincoln Honored on the Anniversary of
Death at His Tomb in Springfield, Illinois
By Brother Lee Stone, PDC
On Saturday 12 April the National Organization of the Sons of Union Veterans of the Civil War, led by Command-
er-in-Chief Ken L Freshley, partnered with the Military Order of the Loyal Legion of the US, led by Commander-
in-Chief Waldron Kintzing Post II, to honor Abraham Lincoln at his tomb in Oak Ridge Cemetery in Springfield,
Illinois. Both organizations have done this for many years, on the Saturday nearest 15 April, the date Lincoln died
in 1865. Unlike many past years, the weather was perfect, warm and sunny. After a solemn march-in and a flag
raising, numerous organizations of the Allied Orders presented wreaths at the tomb, and Taps was sounded.
After the ceremony there was a luncheon at the head-
quarters hotel. At 3 PM many of those who had at-
tended the tomb ceremony traveled the 20 or so miles
to Petersburg, Illinois, northwest of Springfield. At
Rose Hill Cemetery they paid honor to Dr-and Major-
Benjamin Franklin Stephenson, who founded the Grand
Army of the
Republic in
1866 and be-
came its first
adjutant.
While in
Springfield,
some of the
participants
visited the Lincoln Home National Historic Site, the
GAR Museum of the Woman’s Relief Corps, the rail-
road station from which Lincoln gave his brief farewell
speech to his friends and neighbors as he left to take up
the burden of the Presidency, and the Old Capitol, the
one Lincoln knew.
The Department of the Chesapeake was represented by
its Commander, Brother Mark Day. Lincoln-Cushing
Camp, and the 2d Military District of the Sons of Veter-
ans Reserve, were represented by Brother Lee Stone, the
National Color Bearer of the SUVCW.

General Logan’s Order No. 11
On the 5th of May 1868 as commander in chief of the Grand Army of the Republic, I issued to our comrades
throughout the land the following order:
“Head quarters Grand Army of the Republic. Adjutant Generals office No 444, 14th Street Washington, D.C.
May 5th 1868.
General Orders No 11.
I. The 30th day of May 1868 is designate for the purpose of strewing with flowers or otherwise decorating the
graves of comrades, who died in defense, of their country during the late rebellion, and whose bodies now lie in
almost every City, Village, and hamlet, church yard in the land. In this observance no form of ceremony is pre-
scribed, but Posts and comrades will in their own way arrange such fitting services and testimonials of respect as
circumstances may permit.

L-C Third Annual Family Picnic
19 July Fort Ward Park, Alexandria, VA
On 19 July at 10:00 am-3:00 pm the Brothers of Lincoln-Cushing Camp
#2 will gather with their families to once again enjoy an afternoon of food
and fun. Brothers get a chance to meet with each other in a more casual
environment and meet each other’s families while enjoying hamburgers
and hotdogs in beautiful Ft. Ward Park. Food service begins about 12:00
noon. This is a free event for all Lincoln-Cushing brothers, so pack up the
kids (and don’t forget your spouse), grab a Frisbee and enjoy an afternoon
of fun. Look for a reminder email closer to the picnic date with directions,
but mark your calendars now.
Such a list could form a significant
part of our history and perhaps be
included in the new member ori-
entation presentation that Brother
Brin Lewis so ably put together.
Who will volunteer to take this on?
On May 30th, we will be commem-
orating our Civil War ancestors in
the annual Memorial Day ceremo-
nies at the Old Amphitheater and
Tomb of the Civil War Unknowns in
Arlington National Cemetery. This
year, we will be partnering with the
U. S. Army, as 2014 marks the 150th
anniversary of the founding of Ar-
lington as a national military cem-
etery. Once again, we will do this
with members of our Allied Orders
and other heritage organizations.
The common thread, of course, is to
honor our ancestors who fought and
died to save this country, as General
John Logan, the first Commander-
in-Chief of the Grand Army of the
Republic, intended. I encourage all
brothers to attend and to participate
in this noble activity.
Volunteerism is just as important
today. As we all know, the U. S.
armed forces are now an all-vol-
unteer force, but it was not always
so. As Americans, we are all in-
debted to the brave and dedicated
volunteers who serve our country
all over the world and who follow
in the footsteps of our ancestors
who served at posts and battlefields
all over the world, beginning with
Concord, Lexington, Saratoga, and
Yorktown in the war that established
our independence. In the Civil War,
we are familiar with battles as ardu-
ous and bloody as the Seven Days
before Richmond, First and Second
Bull Run, Shiloh, Fredericksburg,
Chancellorsville, Vicksburg, Get-
tysburg, the Overland Campaign,
and many others. Volunteer
Rough Riders served under Teddy
Roosevelt at San Juan Hill in the
Spanish-American War. In World
War I, U. S. Marines bled in Belleau
Wood and earned a lasting legacy.
In World War II, sailors, soldiers,
airmen, and marines fought and
died in numerous bloody battles all
over the Pacific and in the European
Theater. In Korea, Marines under
General O. P. Smith “advanced in
a different direction.” In Vietnam,
soldiers, sailors, airmen and ma-
rines battled the communist enemy
in the Battle of the Ia Drang Valley,
Khe Sahn, and many other places.
Some say the severest test came to
those who were imprisoned at the
infamous Hanoi Hilton. Since then,
United States forces have gone to
war in Iraq and Afghanistan and
either made the supreme sacrifice,
or come home grievously wounded.
Of course, many who served in
these conflicts were drafted, but
many others were volunteers. We
honor all.
Finally, life today presents many
opportunities for volunteer service
outside of the armed forces. Of
course, the SUVCW is an organi-
zation of volunteers and cannot
thrive unless brothers step up to the
plate to serve at the local, depart-
ment, and national levels. But there
are many other ways to serve in a
volunteer capacity. I know of broth-
ers who serve their communities,
churches, boy scouts, and other
civic organizations unselfishly.
Each one provides essential and
even anonymous service that their
organizations rely on. I salute each
one of you. What is your volunteer
story?
