IE beuinninos of Hlinois Territorv were nuide in war. Hamilton, the British scalp-buyer, his ti*oo])s and Indian allies, were subjected to all those in glorious di^feats recordi^d in British as well as American histoiy. In 1832, Black Hawk's Indians renewed the wai-. but Avere subjected and j)lante(l beyond the Yfississi])])!. In May, 184(*). 8,870 citizens of Hlinois answered the call for ti'oo])S to serve in the war against Mexico. Of this number, 3,720 were accepted, formino' the first six reoiments of Hlinois militia.

Militakv Iiistoky

Tlie war of 1861-05 cost the United States al)Out $4,000,000,000, and was the direct cause of the loss of about 1,000,000 of men to the whole counti'v. The manner in wliich Illinois responded to the call of the President, April 14, 18(51, is told in the following simple record. The record of volunteer troops organized within the state, and sent to the field, commencing April, 1801, and ending December, 31, 1865, with number of regiment, name of original commanding officer, date of organization and muster into United States service, place of muster, and the aggregate strength of each (organization, have been ])repared with great care, and forms in itself a concise record of Illinois in the war for the Union. It is said that only one organized company was given by " the North '' to the armies f)f the Confederacy. That company was raised in southern Illinois b}^ Captain Thorndyke Brooks. He had ninety splendid fellows to share with him his bold enterprise.

The actual number of enlistments in Illinois from 1861 to 1865 was 259,147, which includes reenlistments in veteran reserve corps, and ordinary reenlistments. This number, however, does not include 20,000 or 30,- 000 citizens of Illinois, found in various branches of the army and navv and in the volunteer regiments of other states. The conduct of the troops, from the day they took j)ossession of Cairo to the close of the war, was one magnificent testimony to the worth of citizen soldiery.

Tli(^ War of the Revolution and that of 1812 are connected with the history of the county onh^ so far as the names of a few actual participants, and of the sons of revolutionary soldiers are connected with the settlement of the county. Among the old soldiei-s of 1812, present at a meeting held at Toulon, November 24, 186(», were Sylvester Sweet, William Winter, Louis Lasure. Dunn, Jackson. George Rose, Jacob -lainison and fe\\i others whose names are found in the townsliip histories. This meeting was called just six months after the Scotch or new Americans of Elinira townshij) had organized a company for defense. The writer's research at Hennepin did not bring to light the name of more than one pioneer of Stark county, Thomas Essex, connected with the Rlack Hawk squal)ble. There is no doubt, however, that many of the men whose names are connected with the history of Stark fift^^-five years ago, notably those mentioned as jurors in 1831, were readv to defend their territoi'y.

During the Black Hawk War it is related that one of the early German settlers of Spoon river precinct remained at home to protect his sick wife, after his neighbors had fled. Excitement, however, overcame love and duty, and he addressed the invalid thus: " Ivatrina Ave vas all scallupped by the Injines, ov I don't go away so quick as never vas. I get on my pony and go under der fort. 'You don't be afraid. Dey not hurt you." Saj^ing this the chivalric settler set off, but the wife, driven to desperation, l)ridled another horse, and reached the fort before her lord.

A reference to the history of the townships and pages devoted to biography discloses the fact that a few citizens of Stark served in the Mexican War.

The first war meeting was held at Toulon, April 15. IsBl. The report of this meeting as published in the Chicago Trihvue is as follows: "Elihu X. Powell was called to the chair, and James A. Henderson was appointed Secretary, - Judge Powell on taking the chair, briefly stated that the object of the meeting was to consider the present state of the country - to renew our deyotion to the glorious institution, and to pledge our lives in the maintenance and defence of the government and the constitution, and the union as it is. - Honorable J. H. Howe, G. A. Clifford, Dr. AVm. . Chamberlain, Thomas J. Henderson, Levi ISi^orth, and Alex. McCoy were successively called upon and responded. Resolutions were adopted, one of which reads as follows: ''That in the present crisis of our country, we will ignore all mere party considerations, and uphold tlie administration in enforcing the laws north and south, and in putting down rebellion wherever it may arise. And to that end we invoke the entire power of the government, and we hereby adopt as our motto those memoralJe words uttered long since on a similar occasion by a patriot now in liis grave. "Liberty and Union now and forever, one and inseparable."

In July, 1861, Dr. Thomas Hall and Davis Lowman were appointed a committee to publish in the Stark county Nev;s directions for preparing bandages and lint.

The supervisors on June 10, 1861, adopted resolutions for the appointment of a committee to disburse military and relief funds, and tiiat such funds be raised by special tax of twenty cents per $100. The uses s})ecilie(l were, first, for the support of soldiers' families, and secondly, for equipping and uniforming Stark county soldiers. The first report of the committee was made in 1802. The appeal of the Home Guards, which led to this legislation, was signed by G. A. Clifford, chairman, Jacob Jamison, T. J. Henderson, Oliver Whitaker, Charles Myers and Amos P. Gill, a committee ap})ointed by the guards. The Military Disbursing Committee of Stark county, appointed in June, 1861, comprised David McCance, Davis Lowman and Oliver Whitaker. They disbursed $635 to Capt. Stuart's Elmira Ilifles of 105 men ; $456 to Capt. Dickenson's Lafayette Ilifles of 76 men, and $4u2 to Capt. Jamieson's Stark County Ilifles of 77 men. To soldiers' families in Toulon township, $76.62 were given; in Goshen, $106.87; in Valley, $12; in Tenn, $20.71; in Osceola, $9, and in Elmira, ^S(^, or, $311.98 to soldiers' families and $1,548 to volunteers from June to December 2, 186)1.

On June 5, 1863, a meeting was held in the Presbyterian church, Elmira, with a view of helping along the objects of the Soldiers' Ai<l Society. $151 in cash, a firkin of butter, five barrels of potatoes, together with other supplies were subscribed. In Osceola village $90 was subscribed, making $235 for the township under this call. On July 8, 1863, the fall of Yicksl)urg was celebrated throughout the county. A company called the " Blood V Marines" brought out the mui and fired a salute. Some days before this, after the battle of Gett^^sburg, the Union flag was hoisted on the court house. The Women's Loyal League of Penn township, was organized July 27, 1863, with forty members. Mrs. J. M. Ricker presided, with Mrs. S. S. Sock well secretary. In August 1862, Provost-Marshal White visited Bradford to arrest two young men named Terwilliger, on the charge of desertion. The father tried to aid in the escape of the boys. White learned the game and cautioned the old gentleman against repeating it, and told him that should he not place the young men in custody within two days, himself would be arrested. The delivery was not made and the marshal revisited Bradford and asked the old gentleman to come along under arrest, but he responded that he should not go unless he went dead. "As you prefer about that," said the marshal, " but I think you better go alive." The old man then attacked him with the hay fork, l>ut White pushed the weapon aside and hit the prisoner on the head with a heavy cane, cutting a deep wound. Terwilliger surrendered, was taken to Dr. Little's and patched up, but was not imprisoned at that time.

Lieut. C. W. Brown, of the Onedumdred-and-twelfth Illinois Infantry, with Sergeants William Dojde, John Lane and Henry Graves, opened a recruiting station in the Ilolst building, at Wyoming, in January, 18G4. Oliver White, recruiting agent for Stark county, made a call on the county to furnish its quota in February, 1864. His address contains the following paragraph : " Fathers and mothers encourage vour sons to rally once more around the old flag, and the day is ours "almost without a struggle, for the Ijlind giant of rebellion already reels and falters. The work of finishing his troubled existence will be sharp and short. The enormous government bounties - $802 for neAV recruits and $402 for veterans - are still offered. * * ^^ -jf ^^ Board and transportation furnished to recruits for any Illinois regiment in the field." Jacob Galley, of Toulon, was killed at Franklin, Tenn.. in 1864, while holding the flag. His body was brought here and interred. Springer Galley was w(^unded there, and Wright Oziali was re])orte(l wounded.

The ill advised attem])t had to be abandoned; and tliere fell on that da}' five n(jble men, James Essex, John II. J.ane, Andrew G. Pike, George W. Ilhodes, and Ilobert Dewey. They were lovely and pleasant in their lives, and in their death they were not divided. (3n the following day John W. AVhitten was killed. These deaths have called this large assemblage together today.'' The last named was the son of Theodore Whitten, of West Jersey; James Essex was the son of Joseph Essex, of Penn township; Joseph Lane was born in Scmierset county, New Jersey, July 27, 1831); Andrew G. Pike, born in Pennsylvania, in Jannary, 1S36. came to this county with his parents the following winter; George W. Rhodes, like Sergeant Pike, was an only son, born to Mi's. X. ^y.

The following re])ort Avasmade to the supervisors' board in September, 1864, by Miles A. Fuller: The undersigned, having at the solicitation of persons interested therein, visited S[)ringfield for the purpose of ascertaining the quota of Stark County in the coming draft, and also to ascertain whether any mistakes have been made in the credits for men from this count}^ who have volunteered into the military service of the United States, would make the following report :

"The whole number of men required to till all calls to the present time is 904 ; whole number of credits uj) to October 1st, 18<;3, was (iS!) ; from October 1st, 1863, to September, 1864, is 121; and total credits, 810; total deficit of county, 154. Of this number there is due from the several sul)-districts of this county as follows: Sub-district 72, Essex and Toulon, 34; 13, Elmira and Osceola, 36; 74, \'alley and Penn, 53; and 75, Goshen and West Jersey, 31.

one hundred men (estimated) residents of this county, have enlistetl in different regiments and have been credited to other counties. This has resulted from several causes : Sometimes from carelessness on the ]mrt of the men enlisting in not giving their residence, and perhaps on the part of recruiting officers, who were desirous to ofitain credits for their own counties, and sometimes from misrepresentation on the part of the men enlisting in order to obtain the local bounties offered by other counties. I was informed by Adjutant General Fuller that ill every case the men were cretlited to tlie counties where tliey actiuillv resided at the time of their enlistment whenever tliat could he ascertained ; and from such examinations as I Avas aJ)le to make while there, I am satisfied that his statement is correct, and that no pains have l)een s})ared by him to do justice to every county,

" For instance, I was acquainted Avith several men in tlie 72d and 55th regiments in which we have no credits, and on an examination of the mustei'-rolls of said regiments I found Robert Holmes, Scepter Harding, Darsie Heath, Jacob (Galley and Jasper Morris reported from Chicago, and Miles Aver}- from Cook county, and Lester Coggswell, Joseph C Hinei' and Cleorge W. Eckley from Bushnell, McDonough county, and George Wittei", without any residence given. So of other regiments. Our men have enlisted and are credited to other counties in consecjuence of tlie errors of the muster roll.

" My thanks are due to General Fuller, and to lion. Xewton Bateman of the Provost Marshal's office, who extended to me every courtesy and gave me all the assistance in their power.

" I would recommend to the Iward that some time during; the comino' winter, when the present press of business at the Adjutant General's office shall be past, that an agent be sent to examine the records and get the names of all persons who have enlisted from this county. - "- Let a roll of honor be kept.

In March, 1S(;5,P. A: J.Nowlan, onbehalf of the Ladies' Aid Society of Toulon, mailed to Thos. B. Bryan at Chicago the sum of $52 as a donation to the Soldier's Home from the supper and sociable committee. The serai-annual report of Mrs. S. A. Dunn, treasurer of the Toulon Soldiers' Aid Society, made March 16, 1805, shows that on Sept. 19, she received from former treasurer, $27.22; (m Oct. 10, $34.50 pr(jcee(ls of concert; Oct. IS, $331.05, })roceeds of fair; Dec. 1, moneys collected by Mrs. Copperthwaite, $4.55, and fines and memberships, $1.17, total, $398.29, of which $291.07 was disposed of.

In March, 1865, the quota called for Avas 239. Osceola was unfilled for 15, its (juota ; A'alley for 33, its quota ; and Penn for 5, or 5-26 of its quota. Elmira owed 9 out of 36, Toulon was filled and the other towns owed 1 recruit each.

On April 3, 1865, the 112th Ptegiment assembled at Baleigh, N. C. and adopted six resolutions expressive of sympathy with the Union, and Mr. Lincoln's family. These were signed by E. S. Bond, Lieut. -Col., and B. F. Thompson, secretar}^

One-hundred-and-twelfth Infantry may be said to date its organization back to August 8, 1862, Avhen the commissioned officers of the three Stark county com})anies and seven Henry county comjmnies of militia met at Clalva. The command was then known as the '' Ilenrv County liegiment," the number " One-hundred-and-twelfth'' being assigned on acceptance by the State. The regiment was mustered in at Peoria, September 20 and 22, 1862, 903 strong. This number was increased to 940 by October 8, when the commcmd left e?i route to C'incinnati, where.Iohn F.

Dow, were captured by 250 men of Morgan's command, and, after being robl)ed, were paroled, and were not exchanged until September, 1863. At Winchester, Mt. Sterling, Paris and Boonsboro, in March, 1863, the command gave evidence of Avhat stuff it was composed. Service round Danville, Capt. Otman's escape on the Kentucky river, the mounting of the command, and a few minor meetings with rebel outposts characterized the command in April. Monticello, Knoxville, Lemoir, and AValburg, Somerset, the organization of a musician's corps, the affair at Clinch Kut, and the destination of I'ailroad stations mark the progress of the One-hundred-and-twelfth in Kentucky and Tennesee u]) to July, 1863. In July the attempt to save the wagon train at Crab Orchard; the capture of rebels at Harrodsburg by Capt. Otman and Milchrist's command, the fight at Richmond and pursuit formed the most notable events. The march over the Cumberland ]\[ountains, the ca])ture at Post Oak Springs ; the entry into Athens, and estal)lishment of a Union newspaper there mark the cann)aign of the One-hundred-and-twelfth in August. In September the i'el)els sur])rised the town, capturing a numl)er of Stark county men, and killing Capt. Dickenson. At Calhoun, Cleveland and along the Iliawassee river, the command was ever on dut}' during a part of this month ; many members luiving serious adventures and hair-breadth escapes. In the fall of 1863 the battles round Loudon, Lenoir and Philadelphia were partici])ated in, and in ]S[ovend)er the seige of Knoxville, battle of Campbell's Staticm ; the affair at Ft. Saunders brought additional honors to the command. The pursuit of Longstreet, and a never ending round of skirmishing characterized the campaign of December. The affairs of Flat Creek and Kelly's Foi'd in Januar}^, 1864 entailed serious losses in the One- hundred-and-twelfth. In April the I'egiment was dismounted, and took its place among the troops ordered to ])articipate in the Georgia campaign. P'roni Ma.y 8, 18(54, this comman i did l)rilhant service under Sherman, and its history is in fact that of the most aggressive reo"iment under Shei'man. P'rom tlie (hiv the command left Peoria in 1862, to muster out. June 20, 1865, its services to the Tnion were held as models for all other regiments. On its flag is the inscription : "Kentucky," " Monticello,'' "East Tennessee," '' Campbell's Sta'tion," "Knoxville," ''Bean's Station," " Dandridge," "Atlanta," ''Kesaca," "Kenesaw," '' Utoy Creek," "Nashville," "CV>lumbia," "Franklin." "Wilmington," "Fort Anderson." In the history of this command, written l)y Capt. B. F. Thompson, the whole story of the organization and services of the One-hundred-and-twelfth is related.
