Following high school graduation, Felts entered the University of Illinois at Champaign. In college Felts became the “Campus Scout,” the author of a humorous column about college happenings. This position at the university was also held by Gene Shalit, Allen Sherman, and others who later pursed careers in broadcasting and journalism. After receiving an A.B. from the University of Illinois in 1923, Felts became a reporter for the Louisville (Kentucky) Courier Journal. From 1923 until 1926, he worked as a sports editor for the Illinois State Register in Springfield, Illinois, and then served briefly as a United Press reporter. Following a year of post-graduate study at Harvard University, Felts returned to Springfield in 1928 and became an editorial writer and columnist. In December 1935, Felts joined the Lindsay-Schaub chain of newspapers as an editorial writer and moved to Decatur, Illinois. He became editorial page editor for the Decatur Herald and Review in 1958 and two years later, he was editorial page editor for the entire Lindsay-Schaub chain. Felts also wrote his own column, called “Second Thoughts.” The column contained folksy reminiscences about past events and observations on current affairs. Felts officially retired in 1967, but he continued to write his column three times a week for the Lindsay-Schaub newspapers. The column ran until Felts’ real retirement at the age of seventy-five. In 1975, Felts moved to Ft. Pierce, Florida, with his wife. Felts died in March of 1985. Felts, who was interested in local and state history, was a long time member of the Illinois State Historical Society. He served as Society director from 1980 to 1983 and was elected vice-president in 1983. In July 1958, Felts was appointed by Governor William G. Stratton to the Illinois Lincoln Sesquicentennial Commission. Felts was also active in the Friends of the Decatur Public Library, serving as a trustee for the Library from 1951 to 1960 and as president of the board of directors from 1953 until 1955.  The finding aid for the David V.

TO THE UNKNOWN DEAD OF THE WAR HE MARCHED AWAY IN THE GLOAMING. Will Rossiter, Publisher Chicago. New York. Copyright MCMV by Will Rossiter. 60 cents. <hr /> He Marched Away in the Gloaming. (To the Unknown Dead of the War.) Words and Music by Edmond Louis DeLestry. Intro. Tempo di Marcia. 1. At the garden gate, in the ev'ning shade, Stood a lad and a maiden fair; Round his stalwart form she entwined her arm, While he gently stroked her hair. "See, the country calls and my comrads wait, Do not make our parting hard;" "When the fighting's o'er," the young lover said, "I'll return again to you, sweetheart." 2. Each soldier in blue, with heart brave and true Falls in at the word of command; As the sun sinks low on their march they go To fight for their homes and their land. As she weeps at the gate she sees his form fade O'er the hill at the end of the lane; "Go, my soldier brave, the Lord bring you safe To our home and our hearts again." 3. Day and night they marched oft hungry and parched, yet with ne'er a thought but to win; In skirmish and fight leads their banner bright, And the warriors ranks grow thin. At the Wilderness fight when gath'red the night They anxiously called his name; But none could tell, where our hero fell, For never an answer came. Copyright MCMV, by Will Rossiter.

TO THE UNKNOWN DEAD OF THE WAR HE MARCHED AWAY IN THE GLOAMING. Will Rossiter, Publisher Chicago. New York. Copyright MCMV by Will Rossiter. 60 cents. <hr /> He Marched Away in the Gloaming. (To the Unknown Dead of the War.) Words and Music by Edmond Louis DeLestry. Intro. Tempo di Marcia. 1. At the garden gate, in the ev'ning shade, Stood a lad and a maiden fair; Round his stalwart form she entwined her arm, While he gently stroked her hair. "See, the country calls and my comrads wait, Do not make our parting hard;" "When the fighting's o'er," the young lover said, "I'll return again to you, sweetheart." 2. Each soldier in blue, with heart brave and true Falls in at the word of command; As the sun sinks low on their march they go To fight for their homes and their land. As she weeps at the gate she sees his form fade O'er the hill at the end of the lane; "Go, my soldier brave, the Lord bring you safe To our home and our hearts again." 3. Day and night they marched oft hungry and parched, yet with ne'er a thought but to win; In skirmish and fight leads their banner bright, And the warriors ranks grow thin. At the Wilderness fight when gath'red the night They anxiously called his name; But none could tell, where our hero fell, For never an answer came. Copyright MCMV, by Will Rossiter.

[Translation.] Democratic Society of Sienna,  May 22, 1865. Sir: The undersigned, fraternizing with all those who work for the emancipation of the human race, cannot but highly revere the name of him who has headed the armies of freedom. Abraham Lincoln shone like a star in the heavens! The hand of an assassin attempted to extinguish it, and for the moment succeeded; we say for the moment, because he has now arisen again, crowned with the glory of a martyr. The intelligence of the infamous crime horrified every one who professes to believe in liberty and progress. We, not the last to curse the ball which crippled the hermit of caprera, shed our tears to-day over your great misfortune, and have resolved that the name of the republican emancipator of the slaves in America should be placed in the hall of our meetings, as a proof of our friendship, and as an evidence to posterity of our eternal condemnation of this infamous assassination. Desiring you to be the interpreter to your countrymen of the sentiments which animate the members of this society, I have the honor to be, sir, your most obedient servant, F.

[Translation.] Catania, May 4, 1865. The democratic society called the Sons of Labor, in Catania, to the heroic nation the United States, in condolence with their grief. Brothers: You fought the war of liberty and independence against slavery and tyranny. With the anxiety of those who hope and fear, we waited for the news from your battle fields. The victories your gallant soldiers gained were victories for us, and their dangers seemed to be ours; but the good genius of humanity, as unerring as destiny, will lead you triumphantly on in the path of progress. You were victorious at Richmond, and human rights triumphed with you in your victory there. It was a great advance in the path of right and justice; joy was suppressed in the struggle, for it was terrible, and will be long remembered. But, sad result! Abraham Lincoln, the champion of your rights, the great, victorious citizen, remained the victim of a vile assassin. Cursed be the spirit of evil Brothers, we feel the blow that struck you: accept the greeting of love and consolation the Sons of Labor send you as a solemn tribute of profoundest sorrow. But, brothers of America, now that your country is free, swear, upon the tomb of your deliverer, to rescue your brethren from the bonds of slavery. His memory will be the terrible leader in your battles—the compact of alliance that binds you close together. His love shall be the example to guide you against those who seek to disunite you. The name of the wicked shall perish from off the face of the earth. Be united, and extend the hand of pardon to your wayward brothers, and thus you will demonstrate to tyrants that the spirit of revenge is blotted from your hearts. [l. s.] TOMMASO OLMATO, President.

The directors of the Atlantic Telegraph Company, while occupied on the eve of accomplishing their enterprise for drawing closer the ties of friendship and cordial intercourse between the two kindred nations of America and the British empire, have heard with horror of the atrocious and recent acts by which the people of the United States have been deprived of their Chief Magistrate, in the person of their estimable and patriotic President, and have lost for a time the active services of Mr. Seward, who is one of their foremost ministers and statesmen. The directors desire to record their deep sympathy with the people of the United States on this calamitous occasion, and hoping that these wicked and disastrous crimes will be traced to individual malignity, wholly foreign and abhorrent to the feelings of any section of the American people, they share with them in the sorrow and indignation which they have excited in this kingdom, and throughout the civilized world. The directors further desire respectfully to tender to Mrs. Lincoln, and the bereaved families and friends of the eminent men who have thus fallen and suffered under the hands of assassins, their joint and individual condolence on their cruel bereavement and sorrows. Given under the common seal of the Atlantic Telegraph Company, at the offices of the company, within the city of London, this 8th day of May, 1865. [seal.] GEO. SAWARD, Secretary.
