Excerpt from Society of the Seventy-Fourth Illinois Volunteer Infantry: Reunion Proceedings and History of the Regiment
On Monday, the 3d inst., at 3 o'clock p. m., the regiment was called to order by Robert Simpson, chairman of the committee of arrangements, at the speaker's stand on the Fair Grounds, where the comrades were assembled.
Lieut. John H. Nye was elected chairman, and Andrew J. Guilford secretary, of the meeting. Lieut. Nye, in a few appropriate remarks, thanked the regiment for the honor conferred in selecting him to preside, and then, with military promptness, requested that business be proceeded with.
An informal and general discussion was then had upon the question of time and place of holding another reunion of the regiment, when, upon motion of C. H. C. Dagwell, it was unanimously resolved that the regiment should hold a reunion upon the Fair Grounds at Rockford, Ill., or at some other suitable place, to be designated by a committee selected at this meeting, and that such reunion he held Sept. 4, 1884.
It was then resolved to effect a permanent organization, and the following officers were elected:
President - Robert Simpson.
Vice-President - John W. Beatson.
Secretary - John H. Sherratt.
Treasurer - Marcus S. Parmele.
The expediency of publishing, in pamphlet form, the proceedings of this reunion was then discussed, and it was unanimously determined to undertake such publication.
