GETS SWORD CARRIED BY HIS COUSIN
Gov. Philipp is presented with Weapon Used by Near Kin
A sword which was carried by his cousin throughout the Civil war has just been presented to Gov. Philipp. Christian Phillip of Sauk City enlisted with Gov. Philipp’s father in the 26th Wisconsin and fought at Gettysburg and many other important places. The sword was brought back by a friend to Sauk City. Last week the Governor visited this place and it was presented to him as an heirloom. Christian Philipp was a first Lieutenant of the 26th Wisconsin and was killed in Service.
