Chapter 16: Infantry Continued

Roster of the 36TI1 Indiana Infantry - History of the Regiment - Colonel Oliver Hazard Perry Cary - Major Isaac Kinley - Lieutenant William H. Fentress - Lieutenant Albert W. Saint.

Thirty Sixth Infantry Regiment, Indiana Volunteers

In the following- roster, the name of each officer and man is followed by his postoffiice address at the time of enlistment. In some instances the soldier was not a resident of Henry County at the time of enlistment but moved to that county after the Civil War. In such cases the name of the county from which he enlisted is substituted for the postoffice address and that is followed by the place of settlement in Henry County. The date of muster for the officers is the date they were actually mustered into the service of the United States and not the date of commission.

Company K was considered a distinctively Henry County organization and, for that reason, the names of all its members are published to complete the roster, whether they lived in Henry County or not. The name of the county from which he enlisted is substituted for the postoffice address after the name of each non-resident soldier.

The Thirty Sixth Regiment Indana Infantry, was organized at Richmond, and was mustered into the United States service for three years on September 16, 1 86 1, with Wilham Grose as Colonel. Very soon after it was mustered into the service it was ordered to the field, and was sent to Kentucky and marched with the Army of the Ohio until it reached Nashville, Tennessee. In the latter part of February, 1862, when the advance on the Tennessee River began, this regiment went with General Buell's Army, and marched to the battlefield of Shiloh in time to take an active part in that great battle. After the battle of Shiloh it camped upon the battlefield until the advance upon Corinth, Mississippi. It took an active part in the siege of Corinth, and after the evacuation of that place it moved eastward through Northern Alabama with Buell's Army to Nashville. When that army fell back to Louisville this regiment marched with it, reaching . that city early in October, 1862. and took part in the pursuit of General Bragg through Kentucky, and was with Buell until Bragg was driven from Kentucky, when it returned to Nashville with General Rosecrans' Army and went into camp, where it remained until our army made its advance upon Murfreesboro. In the Murfreesboro Campaign it participated in the battle of Stone's River on

December 31, 1862, and on January I, 2, 1863; the loss of the Thirty Sixth at Stone's River being 132 (24 kiUed. 90 wounded and 18 missing-). The regiment remained in camp in and about Murfreesboro and Cripple Creek until the campaign through Middle Tennessee, and in this campaign it formed a part of General John M. Palmer's Division of Crittenden's Corps. It participated in all of the engagements of the army through Middle Tennessee, and moved with the Twenty First Corps across the Tennessee River to Chattanooga, and onto what became the battlefield of Chickamauga. It participated in the battle of Chickamauga on the igth and 20th of September, 1863, under the command of Lieutenant Colonel Oliver H. P. Cary and Major Gilbert Trusler; Colonel Grose at that time being in command of the Third Brigade, Second Division (Palmer), Twenty First Corps (Crittenden). Its loss in the battle of Chickamauga was 124 killed and wounded and 13 missing. After the battle of Giickamauga it returned with the arm\' to Chattanooga, and was moved thence to Whitesides and Tyner's Station, Tennessee. While at Tyner's Station the regiment re-enlisted in December, 1863, and February, 1864, and returned to Indiana on veteran furlough. In the latter part of March, 1864. it returned to Tennessee and rejoined the Army of the Cvimberland.

When General Sherman's campaign against Atlanta began, in 1864, the regiment was assigned to the Third Brigade (Grose), First Division (Stanley), Fourth Corps (Howard), and participated with this portion of the army in all of the battles incident to that campaign, being engaged at Rocky Face Ridge, Buzzard Roost, Dalton, Dallas, Resaca, Marietta, Kenesaw Mountain, Peach Tree Creek, in siege of Atlanta, and with Sherman's Army in the flank movement around Atlanta, taking a conspicuous part in the battles of Jonesboro and Lovejov Station. In August, 1864, when near Atlanta, under orders from General Thomas, the non-veterans of the regiment were returned to Indianapolis, where they- were mustered out of the service. After the close of the Atlanta Campaign the veterans and recruits were organized into a residuary battalion, and. as such battalion, marched northward with the Fourth Corps in pursuit of Hood's Army into Northern Alabama, until it reached Nashville, and was engaged with the Fourth Corps at Spring Hill and in the battle of Franklin on November 30, 1864. It remained with the Fourth Corps until its arrival at Nashville, and participated with the army in the battle of Nashville, when Thomas moved out against Hood's works and drove him out of Tennessee. It went into camp with the Fourth Corps at Huntsville, Alabama, after the pursuit and rout of Hood's Army, and from Hunts ville it was sent to Chattanooga, where it remained until June, 1865. when it was transferred to New Orleans, and was, upon orders of General Sheridan, consolidated with the residuary battalion of the Thirtieth Regiment, and marched with Sheridan as a part of the old Fourth Arm}- Corps into Texas.

Colonel William Grose was commissioned as Brigadier (General of Volunteers July 30, 1864; this was a promotion that was well earned, and the honors conferred thereb>- were fully merited by General Grose by his long, active, faithful and efficient services. At the close of the war. in 1865. General Grose was breveted a Major General of A'olunteers.

Lieutenant Colonel Oliver H. P. Cary was commissioned as Colonel of the Thirty Sixth Regiment July 31. 1864. but. by reason of the lack of strength in numbers of the regiment, was not mustered as Colonel, but at the expiration of his term was commissioned as Colonel of the One Hundred and Fifty Third Indiana Regiment.

On the Chickamauga Campaign the Thirty Sixth was one of the five regiments composing the Third Brigade, Second Division, Twenty First Corps. This brigade was under the command of Colonel William Grose (Colonel of this regiment), and the regiment was commanded by Lieutenant Colonel Oliver H. P. Cary and Major Gilbert Trusler. This regiment, with its brigade, on the morning of September 19, 1863, was ordered on a reconnaisance below Lee and Gordon's Alill, on Chickamauga Creek, and there found the enemy in strong force, and the brigade received orders to withdraw, rejoining its division, and with the division, Major General John M. Palmer commanding, moved northward from Lee and Gordon's Mill on the Chattanooga road until Grose's Brigade reached the Brotherton house, about eleven a. m., when line oS battle was formed and the brigade moved east on the south side of the Brotherton and Reed's Bridge road, the distance of about one-half mile or a little more, to the ridge overlooking the Brock field, where the enemy was met in strong force about twelve m., and the battle opened on that portion of the line in terrible force. In the opening of the battle here the Thirty Sixth Indiana was in the second line. Soon after the battle opened the Union troops on the right of Grose's Brigade were overpowered and the lines were broken, and the Thirty Sixth Indiana was immediately moved to the right and into position to protect the flank of its brigade. The enemy made a desperate attack upon this portion of the line, but the regiment stubbornly held its ground, fighting against great odds for two hours. On this- line, while in command of his regiment. Lieutenant Colonel Cary was severely wounded, and the command fell upon Major Trusler, and he retained command until the close of the battle on Sunday evening, September 20th.

Colonel Grose, in his report of the battle by his regiment on this portion of the line on Saturday afternoon, says : "Here -was the best fighting and the least fallingout (except killed and wounded) that I have ever witnessed. Finally the ammunition gave out, and, there being none at hand (bad luck), they had to be retired." General Cruft took up the fight here, and with a full supply of ammunition drove the enemy back and held that portion of the field, and advanced beyond the Brock field. The Thirty Sixth Indiana, with its brigade, withdrew for ammunition, and, worn and weary from the struggles of the day, without water, lay upon its arms through the chilly air of the night, to take upon itself the struggle and carnage of the new day. The position occupied by the Thirty Sixth Regiment on Saturday evening and Saturday night was north of the Brotherton and Reed's Bridge road about 200 yards, and east of the Poe field about 150 yards. On Sunday morning, September 20, 1863, the second day's battle of Chickamauga, Colonel Grose, with his brigade, was ordered to the left of General Baird's Division, then on the east Kelly field line. At the time of receiving this order Colonel Grose was on the extreme right of the Kelly field line. Between his position and the left of General Baird were the divisions of Palmer, Johnson and Baird. It was necessary, therefore, for him to pass to the rear of these troops and onto and across the Kelly field in order to reach Baird's left. Concerning this movement Colonel Grose says : ''Before we arrived at the intended position in the line, the enemy came upon Baird's Division, and consequently my command in fearful numbers. I formed the four regiments under a destructive fire from the enemy in the woodland, covered with a heavy underbrush, forming nearly north and at right angles with the main line of battle, with the Thirty Sixth Indiana and the Eighty Fourth Illinois in the front line. Thus formed, we met the enemy and held a desperate struggle, with fearful loss on both sides; the brigade advanced and was repulsed, advanced a second time and was again repulsed, and, with some forces that now came to our assistance, advanced the third time arid held the woodland. In this contest for the mastery over the woodland fell many of my best and bravest ofifiicers and men. The dead and dying of both armies mingled together over this bloody field. Here I parted with many of my comrades forever, particularly old messmates of the Thirty Sixth Indiana, and whose remains I was unable to remove from the field. * * * After the fighting had ceased, and with seeming success to our arms, on this portion of the line, now about one or two p. m., I withdrew the Thirty Sixth Indiana, Twenty Fourth and Sixth Ohio, with that portion of the Eighty Fourth Illinois under the command of Captain Ervin, to near the position we had taken in the forenoon, near the right of General Hazen's Brigade, and put my men in position to rest and await further developments. * * * It was here, near by me, that Colonel King, of the Sixty Eighth Indiana, fell a victim to the aim of a sharpshooter." About five p. m. Colonel Grose received orders to retire his command from the field. At this time the enemy was again assaulting Baird's Division on the east of the Kelly field, and a heavy force advancing from the south ''from towards Lee and Gordon's Mill" opened on the right and rear of Colonel Grose's command, with "the most terrible cannonading I had heard during these battles, and in a few moments completelv enfilading our entire rear." (Colonel Grose's report.)

This sketch of the Thirty Sixth Indiana and its gallant Colonel and Brigade Commander would not be properly concluded without detailing an incident of the withdrawal from the field on the evening of September 20, 1863. Just where the right of Palmer's Division ended, the line, instead of continuing to the south, changed and ran to the northwest, to the southwest corner of the Kelly field. At the point of the angle at the right of Palmer's Division, when our troops began to retire, the enemy opened upon our men with great fury from the south and east, as reported by Colonel Grose and others. In withdrawing his troops, Colonel Grose moved to the northwest and across the south end of the Kelly field. In order to reassure his troops and to impress upon them the necessity for coolness and dehberateness, so that there should be no panic. Colonel Grose, with Lieutenant Boice, one of his aids-de-camp, carrying the brigade flag, rode on the left of the leading regiment of the brigade, that being the direction from which the enemy was making its attack. By the conduct of their heroic commander the men were reassured, and the withdrawal under the vigorous assault of the enemy was accomplished without confusion or panic. After crossing the La Fayette and Chattanooga road to the west of the Kelly field, General Grose halted the Thirty Sixth Indiana, and, with the Sixth Ohio, formed a line faced toward the enemy, and prepared to defend and cover the retreat. '

Colonel Grose'concludes his reference to the Thirty Sixth Regiment at Chickamauga with these words : "Lieutenant Colonel Cary, Thirty Sixth Indiana, brave to the last, received a severe wound during the battle of the 19th, and was succeeded by Major Trusler in command, who deserves a high meed of praise for continuing the good management of the regiment. Brave old regiment ! Your country will remember you when these trying times are over." The entire strength of Grose's Brigade at the opening of the battle of Chickamauga, officers and men, including staff officers, was 1,687; the total loss of the brigade was 547, of which the Thirty Sixth Indiana's was 129. The State of Indiana has placed a monument, to commemorate the spot where the Thirty Sixth Indiana did its hard fighting on the first day of the battle of Chickamauga, on the crest of the Brock field, a little south of the Brotherton and Reed's Bridge road, and a half or three quarters of a mile east of the Brotherton house. The tablet on the monument bears the following legend :

Thirty Sixth Regiment Infantry

At twelve thirty p. m., September 19th, went into action at this point, suffering greatly in killed and wounded : held the position until three p. m., when ammunition gave out and it fell back in good order towards the Kelly field, and later bivouacked there. On Sunday, the 20th, went into action east of the Kelly field, holding its -line from nine a. m. to five p. m., assisting in repulsing several charges. At night fell back in good order with the army to Rossville.

A marker is placed about 150 yards east of the Poe field line and about 200 yards north of the Brotherton and Reed's Bridge road to indicate the position of this regiment late on Saturday afternoon, September 19th. The inscription on the bronze tablet placed on the marker bears the following :

A marker of the same design is also placed near the southeast corner of the Kelly field, bearing the same inscription, except as to the time. The time on the tablet indicates the time at which the regiment took that position to be Sunday, September 20, 1863, nine a. m.

In the vicinity of this last marker the regiment remained fighting almost constantly throughout the entire da\', until withdrawn with the army about five p. m. of Sunday, September 20, 1863.

Colonel Oliver Hazard Perry Gary

Oliver Hazard Perry Gary was the descendant of one John Gary, who settled in Plymouth Colony about 1634 and was the seventh in line of descent .from that ancestor. He was born at Connersville, Fayette County, Indiana, February 26, 1819, and was the ninth of the twelve children of Colonel Samuel and Sarah (Goble) Gary. His father, born in New Jersey in 1784, was the son of Abrahani Gary, a Revolutionary soldier. He moved with his parents to Ohio when it was a part of the Northwest Territory. On October 25, 1803, he married Sarah Goble and settled in Clarke County, Ohio, but in 18 19 moved to Fayette County, Indiana. He was a quiet man. of amiable temper and a great favorite with the Indians. In the War of 1812-15, he attained the rank of Colonel. His death occurred by accident, Aug-ust 2j, 1828. His wife died at the age of seventy one years.

Oliver H. P. Gary received his early education in Fayette County, but at the age of thirteen came to Henry County to live with a distant relative, Mrs. Ann Bales, the mother of the late John H. Bales, a highly respected citizen of Henry County, who nearly all his life lived in Wayne Township. Young Bales at this time ran a saddlery and harness shop in Knightstown, which he had established in 1830, and under him Gary learned the trade of a saddler and harness maker, after which he worked for a time with Bales, perhaps they were partners in business. Later Gary started in business for himself at Marion^ Grant County, which from that time became his home.

In 1847, during the Mexican War, he enlisted as a private in the 4th Indiana Infantry, a step that marked a new era in his life. The steamer conveyinghis regiment to the seat of war was blown up while crossing the Gulf of Mexico, but Gary was uninjured and with a few companions reached the shore in a small boat. After enduring incredible hardships, he finally succeeded in joining- General Scott's Army and took part in several of those brilliant victories that resulted in the capitulation of the capital of the Montezumas. He was Orderly Sergeant for ten months and was then promoted Second Lieutenant, then First Lieutenant and was finally elected Captain but, owing to the distance from Indianapolis and the approaching end of the war, he did not receive his commission.

In July, 1848, Captain Gary returned to Marion but in 1850, with eight: companions, made the overland journey to California. The trip took nearljr five months and was full of danger and terrible privations. He returned to Indiana in the following year and resumed his occupation. From 1852 to i860 he engaged in the livery and mail carrying business, having a Government contract to carry the mails by coach to the counties of Cass, Huntington, Howard, Madison, Miami and Wabash.

In 1 86 1, when President Lincoln issued the call for seventy five thousand men, our veteran of the Mexican War was the first man in Grant County torespond. Like General Putnam, when the news of battle reached him at his plow, he left, it in the furrow and hurried away to join his country's defenders. He was commissioned First Lieutenant in the 8th Indiana Infantry (threemonths), and at the organization of the regiment was promoted to the Captaincy of Company K. At Rich Mountain, West Virginia, it fell to him to open the

At the close of their enlistment, the regiment returned home and was reorganized for the three years' service. Captain Gary was placed in command of Company A but, before reaching the front, was appointed Lieutenant Colonel of the 36th Indiana Infantry, which was at first stationed at Camp Wickliffe, Kentucky, under General William Nelson. In February, 1862, the 36th was ordered to re-enforce General Grant at Fort Donelson, Tennessee, but that stronghold had fallen before its arrival. The regiment then took part in the capture of Nashville and in the following March was hastened to Pittsburg Landing, Tennessee. Lieutenant Colonel Gary passed through that battle unscathed, although his horse was struck down by a bullet. After the fight at Corinth, Mississippi, he was ordered to Middle Tennessee, where his regiment took part in the battle of Stone's River. Here he lost another horse and was himself wounded. At the battle of Chickamauga, Georgia, a third charger fell under its intrepid rider, who was again wounded. Missionary Ridge was added to the already proud record of the 36th Indiana under command of Gary. On May 5, 1864, began the Atlanta Campaign with its rapid succession of battles and skirmishes. In September, 1864, the regiment was mustered out of the service. In February, 1865, the 153rd Indiana Infantry was organized with Gary as Colonel and ordered to Bowling Green, Kentucky. He commanded a brigade under General John M. Palmer during the Summer of 1865, and was finally ordered back to Louisville, Kentucky, and placed in charge of Taylor Barracks, where he remained until September of that year.

At the close of the war he returned home, having served four years and seven months. He participated in all the battles of the Army of the Cumberland and was wounded five times. After the war, he engaged in farming. He was originally a Douglas Democrat but voted for Lincoln, at his second election, and from that time continued as a member of the Republican party. In 1876 he was elected to represent Grant County in the General Assembly and was re-elected in 1878. During the last thirty six years of his life he was connected with the Christian Church. On November 10, 1840, he was married to Lois S. Hall,, daughter of Stephen Hall, of Hamilton County, Ohio. They had four children but the youngest alone survives - Mary L., wife of W. B. Dodds, of Marion.

Such in brief is the rounded record of Oliver H. P. Gary. His conduct in the times of stress through which he passed is worthy of extended comment, but no more can be given here than the general verdict of his comrades, who were greatly attached to him. Colonel Gary was a strict but just and considerate disciplinarian, tireless on the march, skillful in advance and retreat, brave and impetuous in battle, always faithful and efficient. He died at his home in Marion, June 19, 1889, and his funeral was the largest ever held in Grant County. His wife, Lois S. (Hall) Gary, died at Marion, December 12, 1884. Both are buried in the Marion Cemetery.

He had a son named after him who was a Musician in the 36th Indiana. He was a mere boy, but served from September 16, 1861, to March 2, 1862. He died, after his discharge from the army, of disease contracted in the service.

Major Isaac Kinley

Major Isaac Kinley was a native of Randolph County, Indiana, where he was born November 7, 1821. He was of Quaker descent, his parents being active members of that Society, which did so much to form and develop ^the sterling character of the pioneer settlers of Eastern Indiana. He was well educated and during early life was an accomplished teacher. He taught school at New Castle, where at this late day a number of his scholars are still living, who recall with pleasure the days of their tutelage under his kind and careful instruction. While teaching, he found opportunity to read law and was duly admitted to the bar. From the beginning of his career, he was a student, knowing much and learning more.

For a number of years, Major Kinley was closely identified with the history of Henry County, as citizen, teacher and legislator. His first public duty came with his election as a member of the convention which framed the present Constitution of the State of Indiana. His colleagues were Daniel ]Mowrer, of New Castle, and Dr. George Ballengall. of Fall Creek Township. It was in this convention that he joined with the distinguished scholar and philanthropist, Robert Dale Owen, who was also a member of the convention, in giving special attention to educational matters. He was afterwards, for two terms of two years each, Surveyor of Henry County, serving from November 6, 1852, to November 6, 1856. Following this, he was elected, in October, 1856, State Senator from Henry County for the full term of four years, and served in the sessions of 1857 and 1859, in both of which he again, as in the Constitutional Convention, gave his special attention to the cause of education.

In later years he moved to Wayne County and in 1866 was elected State Senator from that county, serving four years. Soon after his term of office expired, he moved to California, where he has since resided. For some years he has been a helpless invalid because of the serious wounds received by him in the service of his country, much aggravated by his advancing years.

Too much cannot be said in praise of Major Kinley's record in the Civil War. Early in the conflict, he took an active part in the organization of the "Old 36th Regiment," and became Captain of Company D, being commissioned September 14, 1 861, and mustered in two days later. On the resignation of Major Thomas W. Bennett to accept the Colonelcy of the "69th Indiana Infantry, Captain Kinley was commissioned Major, November 7, and mustered as such, November 27, 1862. He resigned May 20, 1863, on account of wounds received at Stone's River, Tennessee. December 31, 1862. He was soon afterwards appointed Provost Marshal for the Fifth Congressional District of Indiana. Of Major Kinley's career in the army. General William Grose in his History of the Thirty Sixth Indiana, says : "The Major was in command of the regiment at the commencement of the battle of Stone's River, on December 31, 1862, and early in the engagement fell terribly wounded, with a thigh bone broken by a ball from a small arm. The Major was removed to the rear as soon as it was possible to be done. This was a very dangerous wound, yet with sound physical make-up, and good nursing by his loving companion, who reached him in a few days, his life was saved. He was a gallant soldier and always a good, quiet and worthy citizen.''

He has always been held in the highest esteem by his old army associates and by all whose pleasure it was to know him during his civil life in Henry County. His wife, whom he had married in Indianapolis while in the Senate from Henry County, died some years ago in California after their removal to that far country.

Lieutenant William Henry Fentress

One of Henry County's most gallant soldiers, who lost his life in battle, was Lieutenant William Henry Fentress, of Company D, 36th Indiana Infantry. The Fentress family came originally from North Carolina, but leaving that State had moved into Tennessee, and it is from the name of this family that Fentress County, Tennessee, is named. Later the family moved to Henry County, Indiana, and setfled near Greensboro, where the elder Fentress was first a merchant and then a farmer. The father, Josiah. was born in North Carolina, April 15, 1808, and died at Osceola, Nebraska, in 1894, where he is buried. The mother, Susannah (Hinshaw) Fentress, was born in Stokes County, North Carolina, in November, 181 r. and was married to Josiah Fentress, September 23, 1830, near Greensboro, North Carolina. She is still living at Osceola, Nebraska, at the advanced age of ninety four years.

William Henry Fentress, the subject of this sketch, was born near Greensboro. North Carolina, May 24, 1832. He accompanied his parents to Greensboro, Henry County, Indiana, and there early learned the trade of a blacksmith. At this place, June 17, 1852, he was married to Cynthia, daughter of John and Julia Cook, highly respected citizens of Henry County, residing near Greensboro. To this union four children were born, namely : Martin, married to Ella, daughter of Simeon and Margaret Wood, now residing near Anderson, Madison County, Indiana; Julia, deceased ; Frank and Estella, both of whom are married and live in Polk County, Nebraska. After the death of her first husband, Mrs. William H. Fentress was married to Jesse B. Jessup and moved to Iowa, where she died September 5, 1877. She is buried near Linnville, in that State.

When the Civil War began, William H. Fentress took an active part in recruiting what became Company D, 36th Indiana Infantry. Leaving his wife and four children, he went with his company to Camp Wayne, Richmond, Indiana, and was there mustered into the service of the United States, as a Sergeant, September 16, 1861. On June 10, 1862, he was commissioned Second Lieutenant and was mustered in as such July 14, 1862. On November 7, 1862, he was again promoted, being commisioned First Lieutenant and mustered in as such November 2^, 1862. He was wounded at Shiloh, Tennessee, April 7, 1862, and at Dalton, Georgia, May 13. 1864, in a charge by Grose's Brigade on the enemy who were entrenched.

He was the ideal soldier of his company, patient in camp, enduring on the march, brave and steadfast in battle; ever solicitous for the welfare of his comrades, he was always anxious to relieve, as far as possible, the needs of the weak and the sick.

In March, 1864, just before the beginning of the Atlanta Campaign, he was granted a short furlough home, and this was the only time he saw his wife and children after his first departure from home for the front.

At Dallas, Georgia, early on the morning of May 31, 1864, while looking after the welfare of his company, he was instantly killed by one of the enemy's sharp- shooters. It can truly be said of him that no soldier or Officer of the famous 36th Regiment was more deeply mourned by his comrades, not onh- of Company D but of the entire regiment, of which he was a general favorite.

Albert W. Saint, of his company, was detailed to take the body of the slain soldier to Chattanooga, from which place the remains w^ere shipped to Knightstown and thence to Greensboro, where they were buried in the Masonic Cemetery.

Lieutenant Albert White Saint

Lieutenant Albert WTiite Saint, of Company D, 36th Indiana Infantry, was born near Greensboro, August 24, 1838. His parents were Alpheus and Irene (Hiatt) Saint, who were born in North Carolina, the father, on February 12, 1813, and the mother, in November, 1812. They were married at the old West River Monthly Meeting, near Milton, Wayne County, Indiana, in 1834, and soon thereafter moved to Henry County, settling tw^o miles west of Greensboro. They were the parents of the following children : Oliver H., deceased ; Albert W. ; Abner P., deceased ; Henry H., deceased ; Achsah A., deceased ; Julia A., now the wife of Dr. George W. Dunn, of Champaign, Illinois ; Joseph Exum, living in New- Mexico ; Louisa, deceased ; Eunice C, now the wife of David C. Davis, of Shelbyville, Illinois ; and Emma, now the wife of John Alofifett, of Fithian, Illinois.

Up to the breaking out of the Civil War, Lieutenant Saint lived at home with his parents and received his education mainly in the school at Greensboro and at Union Seminary, three and a half miles northeast of Knightstown, over which Major Isaac Kinley presided as teacher. The last named school was famous throughout Henry County and Eastern Indiana.

In April, 1861, Lieutenant Saint's parents moved to Champaign County^ Illinois, settling near Urbana. With the coming of the war, young Saint determined to enter the army and for that purpose returned to his old home at Greensboro and enlisted in Company D, 36th Indiana Infantry. He was mustered into the service of the United States, as a private, at Camp \\'ayne, Richmond. Indiana, September 16, 1861, and accompanied the regiment to Kentucky and thence to Nashville, Tennessee, where, in ]\Iarch, 1862, he w-as taken ill with jaundice and chronic diarrhoea and was sent to the convalescent barracks at Nashville and from there was furloughed home, thereby missing the battle of Shiloh and the Siege of Corinth.

After recovery from his illness, he rejoined the regiment at Athens, Alabama, in June, 1862, and from this time forward, the history of the 36th Indiana Infantry, in. all of its camp life, hardships of the march and danger in battle, as set out in the preceding history of the regiment, is the military history of Lieutenant Saint,

In 1863-4, while the regiment was in ^^'inter quarters at Whitesides. Tennessee, as a mark of confidence on the part of his superior officers, he was sent home on recruiting service and was absent from the front for about sixty days. He was slightly wounded at the battle of Stone's River, December 31, 1862, and again at Chickamauga, on both days of that famous engagement; so slightly, however, that he did not leave the field. Lieutenant Saint, during his service in the army, was promoted to First Sergeant and later was commissioned as First Lieutenant, as shown in the preceding roster of the company.

After the expiration of his enlistment, Lieutenant Saint returned to Greens- "boro but later went to Minnesota, where he remained several months. He returned to Henry County and on May 17, 1866, was married to Emma, daughter of Georg-e W. and Eliza Kern, of Greensboro, who were also the parents of John A. Kern, of Company D, who was killed at Kenesaw Mountain. Georgia. June 2^, 1864. John A. Kern was the twin brother of Emma. Another brother. Amos J. Kern, was also a soldier serving- in Company B, 42nd Indiana Infantry. Still another brother, Thomas C. Kern, was a soldier in the 139th and 147th Indiana Infantry, as is shown in the respective rosters of those regiments.

After their marriage. Lieutenant Saint and his wife moved to L^bana. Illinois, where they lived until 1878, when he moved with his family to Lincoln, Nebraska. There Mrs. Saint died March 26, 1881, and is buried in the cemetery at Lincoln. The children of this marriage were : Fred, now City Treasurer of New Castle, Indiana, and teller in the Citizens' State Bank ; Harry, who died in infancy ; Grace, now Mrs. Aaron F. White, of Kenton, Ohio ; and George, now a civil engineer with headquarters at Albuquerque, New Mexico.

After the death of his wife. Lieutenant Saint returned to Henry County, living at Grant City, Spiceland, and afterwards at New Castle. At Spiceland on October 26, 1882, he was married to Lida, daughter of David and Susanna Edwards, old and highly respected citizens of Spiceland Township, who have recentlv celebrated their sixty sixth wedding anniversary. The children of this second marriage are: Arthur L.. who has recently gone to New Mexico to take a position with his brother : and May Pauline, now a teacher in the public schools of New Castle.

When Lieutenant Saint lived at Grant City, where he was engaged in the tile business, he was a member of the Jerry B. Mason Post No. 168, Grand Army of the Republic, Knightstown ; afterwards, upon his removal to Spiceland, he became a member of Harmon Rayl Post, No. 360, Grand Army of the Republic, and was a commander of that Post. While living at Spiceland, in 1890, he was elected Treasurer of Henry County, serving a full term of two years. After leaving the Treasurer's office, he engaged in the insurance business for three or four years and since 1900, has been connected with the postal service at New Castle, Indiana. He is a member of George W. Lennard Post, No. 148, Grand Army of the Republic, New Castle, and takes great interest in the affairs of the Henry County Historical Society. Himself and wife are birthright members of the Friends' Church. In politics he has always been a Republican. Mrs. Saint is a member of the Women's Relief Corps and a prominent club worker. Mr. Saint has moved many times but is now anchored at New Castle for the balance of his days.

Two brothers of Albert W. Saint served in the army during the Civil War.
