Tipton County, Indiana - Chapter 7: Military History, 1914

Chapter 7: Military History

The military record of the county of Tipton might be rightly said to begin with the outbreak of the Civil war in 1861. In the late forties, during the war with Mexico, this territory was very sparsely settled, and therefore was not sufficiently organized to contribute a company of men. A few days before the close of the Mexican war, however, three young men, William S. Hamilton, Marion P. Evans and Isaac H. Montgomery, enlisted to join a company which was to be organized at Frankfort, Clinton county, but they were not mustered into the service, for the reason that the war soon closed. Hamilton claimed his right of enlistment and received a land warrant for his trouble, although he was never in actual service.

Between the close of the Mexican war and the opening of the Civil war, Tipton county gave never a thought to military tactics or organization. Not a man was trained in the arts of warfare. Perhaps here and there through the county there might have been a few drill squads, who would assemble on the "commons" and entertain their admiring friends and relatives, but outside of this farrago, war was deemed an impossibility. The firing on Sumter and the call for troops awakened the latent martial ardor, and the Tipton boys were ranked as among the best.

Events Leading Up To Hostilities

It was on the 12th day of April, 1861, when the little garrison in Fort Sumter, off the coast from Charleston, was attacked and the rebellion first fired a shot at the American flag.

Events, prior to this, made it manifest that a great crisis was hovering over the country, and the successful election and inauguration of Abraham Lincoln precipitated what had been predicted for many months.

In the national campaign of i860, the Democratic party was split asunder, there being two candidates. Stephen A. Douglas was a candidate of the Demo¬ crats of the Northern states, and J. C. Breckenridge, for the Democrats of the Southern states. Breckenridge carried all the Southern states and Lincoln carried all the Northern states, while Douglas only carried one state and that was Missouri. The election of Lincoln meant to the Southern states that a government part slave and part free could not exist, and on the day before Christmas, i860. South Carolina seceded from the union.

Lincoln reached Washington on February 23, and was inaugurated on March 4, and was just beginning to ''size up" the situation when the shot was fired that aroused the world. Prior to this, South Carolina seceded on December 24, i860; Mississippi on January 9, 1861; Florida and Alabama on January 11 ; Georgia on January 19; Louisiana on January 28, and Texas on February 1. Virginia, North Carolina, Tennessee, Arkansas and Mis¬ souri followed in quick succession. Kentucky passed a resolution in its Legislature that it would stand neutral and would neither be for nor against, but Lincoln said "no," that it had to be on one side or the other, so it remained in the Union, though public sentiment in the state was largely in sympathy with the rebellion.

Most of the Southern Senators had resigned. Senators Benjamin and Slidell, of Louisiana, Toombs, of Georgia, Clay and Fitzpatrick of Alabama, Jefferson Davis of Mississippi, and others had delivered farewell speeches in the Senate.

A convention held at Montgomery, Alabama, February 4, with delegates from six states, had adopted a constitution for the Confederate States, with Jefferson Davis as president, and he was inaugurated February 18, he becom¬ ing president of the Confederacy before Lincoln became President of the United States. Before this, forts, arsenals and other government property had been seized and turned over to the Confederacy.

Mayor-General Twiggs, of the regular army, had surrendered all the United States property and munitions of war in Texas to the state author¬ ities. Supplies had been cut off from Fort Pickens at Pensacola and Fort Sumter was in peril.

This was the situation fifty-four years ago. On that awful morning, April 12, 1861, rebel guns began to play on Fort Sumter and for two days the little garrison held out, but, being deprived of guns and ammunition and pro¬ visions, it was compelled to surrender and the war became a fact.

The next day, April 15, Lincoln called for seventy-five thousand troops, and volunteers began to pour in from every direction. The next day, April 16, Governor Morton issued a call for volunteers and Indiana soldiers began to fill up Indianapolis, until there were thousands of soldiers ready to obey any demand in defense of old glory, but there were no guns, for all the war material had been sent to the South before Lincoln became President. Mor¬ ton called a special session of the Legislature, and without a moment's delay two million dollars was voted to place the state on a good war footing.

What followed these events every school boy knows. A four-years war devastated every Southern state, millions of lives were sacrificed and billions of dollars spent and finally the rebels were forced to surrender and every state compelled to come back into the Union, and they are here to stay and they are as glad of it as the Northern states are. One of the great results of the war was the freedom of slavery, and the black man given his citizenship, the same as the white man.

A Rebel Flag

The news of the firing on Sumter reached the city of Tipton on the 13th of April, 1861, and on the morning of the 14th, when the people arose, they saw a strange flag floating from the court house tower. When it became known that it was a rebel flag, the people were indignant and there was con¬ siderable mutterings and when Samuel Knisell, a druggist of that day, came down town, he flew into a passion and soon had a crowd worked up to the fighting point. It was discovered that a man by the name of Jack Applegate and another man, who was a book agent, both being Southern sympathizers, had hoisted the rebel flag over the court house and Knisell went to a hardware store and got a rope and called upon the crowd to catch the men and hang them. Applegate soon saw that there was danger in remaining in Tipton and he and the book agent got out of town as quickly as they could and neither ever came back. Applegate had not lived in Tipton very long and was get¬ ting ready to go into the law practice, he being a fourth-rate pettifogger.

The indignant crowd pulled down the flag, tore it into strips and not being satisfied with this, gathered up the pieces and made a bonfire of them.

To offset the indignity, an American flag was procured and hoisted over the court house and a sign posted on the court house door, saying "Death to the Man that Insults This Flag."

Applegate was so alarmed and fearful that he would be caught that he crossed the Ohio river, went to the South, where he became a lieutenantcolonel of a rebel regiment. After the war, he was elected as lieutenantgovernor of the state of Alabama.

The First Company

Edward T. Wallace, who was a harness maker in Tipton, and a brother of the late Gen. Lew Wallace, began the organization of a company of volunteers and he set April 20th on which enlistments would be made, and before night the company roster was complete. Owing to the govern¬ ment not having clothing and munitions of war, they remained at home for a few days, and in the meantime, the women set to work to provide uniforms for them. They made linen caps, or bonnet-like coverings for the head, called Havelocks, red flannel shirts and blue trousers and within twro days every volunteer had a ready-made uniform, all made by the patriotic women of Tipton.

On April 23rd, they formed in line for their departure, dressed in their new' suits, and marched along the streets, the great contrast of bright red and dark blue presenting an appearance w hich seemed to the native Tiptonian as a wonderful military display. A short time before starting to the depot, which at that time was at the foot of East Jefferson street, the company marched into the public square, where several hundred people were assembled to wit¬ ness the presentation of a home-made banner. It was presented to the com¬ pany by Mrs. Ada Kane, a sister of Mrs. W. P. Gates, who nowr resides on West Jefferson street.

The people had come from all parts of the country to see the soldiers off to the war, so there was a large crowd in town. Finally, the company formed in line, the people having collected on the sidewalks along the street over which the soldiers had to pass on their wav to the depot. As they passed along the street they were loudly cheered, to wrhich the soldiers responded with patriotic zeal. Among that cheering throng wrere fathers and mothers, wives and sisters, who, with tearful eyes and throbbing hearts, bade farewell to their husbands, sons and brothers. There were also loving maidens, wrho could not refrain from showing their love and anxiety for certain ones as they passed bv. The company soon boarded the cars and as the train moved off the soldiers, so many as could, stood on the platforms of the cars and with hat or handkerchief in hand waved a final farewell to friends who stood on the platform at the depot, watching to catch the last glimpse as the train passed out of sight.

This company did not contain all the men from Tipton county who en¬ listed in the three-months service. Several men went to other counties and joined companies of other regiments; and so those counties get the credit for their service, although they were Tipton men. It was so in every county in the state.

Later Companies

The second company raised in this county was recruited by M. C. Hol¬ man, W. P. Gard, R. M. Sharp and others, and organized on August 9, 1861, by electing Holman as captain, W. P. Gard, first lieutenant, and R. M. Sharp, second lieutenant. This company assembled at the village of Sharpsville on the day they were to enter the service. The people of that place served the boys with a bountiful dinner, and in every way tried to hide their sorrow with a cloak of gaiety. The company were transported to Indianapolis, and were there mustered into the service as Company C of the Twenty-sixth Regiment, on August 31, 1861.

At the expiration of their terms of enlistment, the three-months men returned, and the Eleventh Regiment was mustered out of the service on August 4, 1861. In a short time the company reorganized, with about twentyfive men from Tipton county in Company F of the new organization. They were mustered in this time for three years on August 31st.

During this same month of August another company was raised and organized, with John W. Stevenson, captain, Samuel G. Decker, first lieu¬ tenant, and Wesley S. King, second lieutenant. The company met at Tipton on the 28th of August; quartered in the court house that night; and on the next day went to Indianapolis, where they were mustered into the service as Company G, Thirty-ninth Regiment of Infantry, on August 29, 1861. This regiment was afterwards changed to the Eighth Cavalry. On May 8, 1862, Jasper M. Grove was appointed surgeon pro tern of this regiment.

The fourth company to be raised in Tipton county was recruited by M. P. Evans, E. C. Hill, N. R. Overman and others, and was organized on Octo¬ ber 10, 1861. Ellison C. Hill was elected captain, W. H. Hayford, first lieu¬ tenant, and Joseph A. McKinsey, second lieutenant. , The company went into camp at Anderson for a short time, and when the regiment was organ- (10) ized, moved to Indianapolis, and were there mustered into the service as Com¬ pany K of the Forty-seventh Indiana Volunteer Infantry. This was on De¬ cember 13, 1861. Marion P. Evans, of Tipton, was appointed adjutant of the regiment by Governor Morton.

In addition to the four companies organized in the county, there were a few men in each of the Thirteenth, Seventeenth, Twenty-first, Twentysecond, Twenty-third, Forty-second, Fifty-first and Fifty-seventh Regiments of Indiana Volunteer Infantry, in all nearly a hundred men. With the roster of the four full companies, this made a total of five hundred men enlisted from this county before the close of the year 1861.

The call for such a large number of men by the government made im¬ possible the immediate equipment of the companies. Governor Morton called upon the people of Indiana for donations of such things as were needed to supply the soldiers during the coining winter. The people responded liberally and with high patriotism. The women gathered together and made clothing, bedding, bandages, and other necessities. Food stuffs were collected and sent to the soldiers, or to the state agent, who, in turn, distributed the supplies. This agent was compelled to call a halt in the supply after a time, for there was more than the men could use.

The winter of 1861 and 1862 was a time of doubt and apprehension. At the outset of hostilities, the people of the North as a whole believed that the Confederacy would be crushed with a single blow, and the Union pre¬ served. Months passed, and the defiance and success of the rebel arms be¬ came greater. McClellan and the Army of the Potomac were accomplishing nothing, and even in other parts of the field of battle the Union forces had been stricken with defeat by the Southerners. A grimness of countenance, a concise spirit of determination, and a tenacious desire to quench the rebellion took hold of the people, and, without a smile, they realized that a task was set, the completion of which would mean a sanguinary cost, horrible to con¬ template or estimate.

On July 15, 1862, Isaac H. Montgomery was commissioned a second lieutenant. The governor of the state had commissioned second lieutenants as recruiting officers, who, if they succeeded in raising a company, were al¬ lowed to go into the field and retain the rank. Accordingly, Montgomery began recruiting, being aided by Dr. Isaac Parker, J. V. Cox and Sylvester Turpen. They enlisted one hundred and thirty-five men, and organized a company on the 26th of the same month. Montgomery was elected captain, George L. Shaw, first lieutenant, and Noah W. Parker, second lieutenant. The governor designated the organization of regiments by congressional dis¬ tricts, and for convenience arranged rendezvous camps in each district. Tipton was then in the eleventh district, for which a camp was established at Wabash. This camp was not prepared when Montgomery's troops was organized, so the men had to stay at home for a few days.

During this time the citizens of Normanda and vicinity held a picnic in a grove just south of that village. This celebration was held on August 6, 1862. An ox was killed and roasted, and then fed to several thousand people assembled. It was a gala day, and a greater part of the time was spent in speech-making, among the principal speakers being Judge John Green, Dr. Isaac Parker, J. V. Cox, Dr. A. M. Vickery and Judge Joshua Jones. The lat¬ ter orator waxed warm and emphatically stated that if he had the power he would uncap the lower regions, heat the flames of the devil's resort seven times hotter than the hottest flame old Satan had ever fanned, and then cause a cyclone to rise in the Gulf of Mexico large enough to gather and encircle in its winding embrace every man who had helped to bring on this wicked rebel¬ lion. The cyclone should carry them over the deepest hole in the hottest place of that lake of fire, and with all its force shoot them forth, as a ball from a cannon, down into the lowest depths of the deepest hell, so far out of sight that old Satan himself could never find them.

The citizens of Tipton, a few days after the above day, prepared a large dinner at the old fair grounds, south of town. Here a similar program was carried out, even to the roasting of an ox carcass. Captain Montgomery's company was present in a body. Speeches were made by the leading citizens and a general good time enjoyed.

Soon after dinner the company formed in line and marched through town to the depot, where they took the train for Wabash, arriving at that city on the evening of August 11, 1862. They went into camp on the south side of the river, near the city, and remained there for a few days, or until their regiment was organized. Then they moved to Indianapolis, and were mustered into the service as Company B of the Seventy-fifth Regiment, Indi¬ ana Volunteer Infantry. This was on August 19, 1862. Dr. James B. White, of Normanda, was appointed assistant surgeon of this regiment.

In this company there were more men than needed, so these remained at home and began immediately to recruit for another company. Sylvester Turpen was commissioned a second lieutenant to organize it. In a very few days a sufficient number of men were obtained. On August 15, 1862, the company was organized, and Alexander McCreary was elected captain, Syl¬ vester Turpen, first lieutenant, and Ezekiel L. Cooper, second lieutenant. On the same afternoon they went to Wabash, after partaking of a dinner given at several homes in Tipton. The men remained at Wabash until the company was organized, whereupon they entrained for Indianapolis. There they were mustered in as Company C of the One Hundred and First Infantry, on September 7, 1862. James Price, of Tipton, for whom the Grand Army post at Tipton has been named, was appointed adjutant of this regiment. Rev. Thomas Whalen, of Tipton, was appointed chaplain for this regiment on May 14, 1863, but had to resign September 3, 1863, on account of dis¬ ability.

Then followed another wearisome and anxious winter. - There were many more men in the field who needed the assistance of the people at home, and this was given them to the greatest extent possible. Every means was resorted to in order to get funds to purchase supplies for the troops.

Knights Of The Golden Circle

The state Legislature of 1863 convened, and passed, or attempted to pass, measures which threw a gloom over the whole state. This body of men declared the war a failure, demanded a cessation of hostilities, a compro¬ mise with the rebels, and even tried to prevent the granting of state appropria¬ tions for military purposes, and to take the command of the state militia from Governor Morton's hands. Partisan feeling was the motive for these dis¬ graceful actions. This demoralization, due to politics, led to many serious affairs. Patriotism ran at low ebb at home, soldiers deserted from the armies in the field, and the Southerners took renewed hope. A secret organ- ization known as the Knights of the Golden Cirde was established, a treason¬ able body to the extreme. Designing politicians organized these bodies, through corruption, deception and violence. In several counties of the state this condition led to bloodshed. Enrolling officers and marshals were shot down while in the discharge of their duties.

It is a fact to be proud of by Tipton people, that this county only had one or two lodges of the Knights of the Golden Circle. H. H. Dodds, the grand commander, visited Tipton at one time, but failed to find co-operation enough to justify the organization of a lodge in the town of Tipton. There were, however, some political meetings at which resolutions in opposition to the war policy of the government were adopted. Those resolutions were of unsavory tone, and seemed to the soldiers to be treasonable utterances. Speeches of similar character were made by politicians in different parts of the county. These things had the tendency to check the enlisting.

Drafts And Enlistments

At the time of the draft assignment, on September 20, 1862, upon the various townships in the state, it was ascertained that all the townships of Tipton county except one had filled their quotas, and ten men only were drafted in Wildcat township. The officers appointed to manage the enroll¬ ment and draft were William N. Evans, commissioner; D. F. Lindsay, marshal, and Dr. Jasper M. Grove, surgeon. The enrollment at that time showed the total militia of the county to be one thousand two hundred and sixty-three, with two hundred and seventy-two exempts, leaving only nine hundred and ninety-one men liable for military duty. This draft ended en¬ listments for the year 1862.

On October 17, 1863, President Lincoln called for three hundred thou¬ sand men. There were no new companies raised in Tipton county in 1863, but there were about one hundred men who volunteered and went into the old companies already in the field. These were sufficient to fill the quota of this county.

On February 1, 1864, the President called for two hundred thousand men, and on March 14th issued another call for two hundred thousand more men. The quotas under these calls were also filled. There were one hun¬ dred and sixty-six men who volunteered, entering old companies.

On April 23, 1864, Governor Morton was authorized to raise twenty thousand men for guard duty at the forts and store houses. There were about twenty-five men from Tipton county in that service, who were in Corn- pany F of the One Hundred and Thirty-second Regiment. These men served in Tennessee and Alabama, guarding Sherman's communications and supplies.

1864. Under this call M. C. Holman recruited sixty-eight men in this county. Joining these with others at Indianapolis, a company was formed on October 14th. Charles M. Guthridge was elected captain, M. C. Holman, first lieu¬ tenant, and William W. Burden of Goshen, second lieutenant. Guthridge was of Indianapolis. This company became Company G of the One Hun¬ dred and Fortieth Indiana Volunteer Infantry. The provost marshal gen¬ eral's report showed that there was a deficiency in the quotas of Wildcat, Madison, Liberty, Prairie and Jefferson townships, and the draft was used. Sixty-four men were obtained in this way. Twenty of these went into Com¬ pany F of the Twenty-third Regiment, and fifteen into Company B of the Fortieth.

The last call of the President for volunteers was on December 19, 1864. Under this call there were sixty-eight enlistments in Tipton county, sixty of them being recruited by William B. Young. These were joined with others recruited in other counties, and organized into a company at Indianapolis, bv electing William B. Young, captain ; George W. Thorn, of Summits ville, first lieutenant, and William P. Crowell, second lieutenant. They became Company K of the One Hundred and Fifty-third Regiment on February 28,

1865. The eight others who volunteered under this call went into the Fiftyninth, One Hundred and Forty-fifth, One Hundred and Forty-seventh and One Hundred and Fifty-first. There was a deficiency in Tipton county, and the draft had to be used again. About forty men were compelled to enlist.

On final adjustment of the provost marshal general's reports, it was found that Tipton county not only filled her quotas under all calls, but had a surplus of fifty- four men. The records show one thousand and seventy-three men from this county enlisted, including those drafted. There were also many re-enlistments. It might be stated in round numbers that one thousand men were in actual service from Tipton county.

The amount of relief and donations supplied the soldiers in the field by the good people of Tipton county, is accurately ascertained as being one hun¬ dred and fifty thousand dollars.

Eleventh Indiana Volunteer Infantry - Three Months

The Eleventh Regiment was organized and mustered into service on April 25, 1861, at Indianapolis, with Lew Wallace as colonel of the regiment.

On May 8th the camp was changed to the vicinity of Evansville, where the regiment remained 011 guard duty until June 7th. At this time the regi¬ ment went to Cumberland, Maryland. Romney, Virginia, was the next halt, where an attack was made on the town. Returning to Cumberland, the regi¬ ment went into camp. During the next month the regiment participated in several small engagements, or skirmishes, and on the 8th of July marched, by way of Hancock and Williamsport, to Martinsburg, Virginia, and from there to Bunker Hill, near Winchester, where it joined General Patterson's comrrafnd. Shortly after, the regiment marched to Charlestown, and thence to Harper's Ferry, where the order for the return home was received. On the 29th of July it reached Indianapolis, and was mustered out of service on the 2nd of August, 1861.

Eleventh Regiment - Three Years

The Eleventh was reorganized and mustered in, for three years' service, on August 31, 1861, with Lew Wallace as colonel. They left Indianapolis on the 6th of September, bound for St. Louis, thence to Paducah, Kentucky. The regiment remained at this post until February 5, 1862. After participat¬ ing in many important skirmishes, the regiment was engaged at Fort Donelson. The next battle in which this regiment saw a part was the bloody field of Shiloh. The body of troops continued their eventful campaign until March 4, 1864, when it returned to Indianapolis, on veteran furlough. Upon the expiration of this period the regiment again entered active service, being engaged at Halltown, Berryville, Fisher's Hill, New Market, Cedar Creek and many smaller skirmishes. On the 3d of August, 1865, it returned to Indianapolis, was publicly received, and in a few days was discharged from the United States service. During the period of campaign the Eleventh marched a total of nine thousand three hundred and eighteen miles.

There were one hundred and seventeen men in this regiment from Tipton county. Edward T. Wallace, a brother of Gen. Lew Wallace, was a cap¬ tain, and John Stevenson and Isaac M. Rumsev were lieutenants.

Twenty-Sixth Indiana Volunteer Infantry

The Twenty-sixth Regiment of Indiana Volunteers was mustered into service, for three years, at Indianapolis, on August 31, 1861, with William M. Wheatley as colonel. On September 7th it left Indianapolis for the field and on arriving at St. Louis was sent into the interior of the state, and was in the Fremont campaign to Springfield. After doing a period of guard duty, the regiment entered active service, moving with the army into southern Mis¬ souri, and thence to Arkansas. During this campaign the men were engaged in the battles of Newtonia, Missouri, Prairie Grove and Van Buren. The regiment was then ordered to do guard duty until June i, 1863, when it was ordered to join General Grant's army in the rear of Vicksburg. On Septem¬ ber 29, 1863, the regiment met the enemy at Camp Sterling, Louisiana, and was severely defeated, losing nearly one-half of the officers and men, mostly by capture. The prisoners were taken to Tyler, Texas, where they were kept for several months. In October the regiment went to Texas with General Herron's expedition. On the Mexican frontier, on February 1, 1864, it was re-enlisted. With the exception of the assault on Spanish Fort, the regiment did not participate in another large battle during the war remaining. The regiment did post duty in the state of Mississippi until late in the year 1865.

There were one hundred and forty-nine volunteers from Tipton county in Company C of this regiment. Mortimer C. Holman, Robert M. Sharp and Levi S. Gardner were captains; William P. Gard, Robert M. Sharp, L. S. Gardner, Samuel N. Banister, Lewis H. Gest and Charles W. Armstrong were lieutenants, during some period of the regiment's service.

Thirty-Ninth Indiana Volunteer Infantry - Eighth Cavalry

The Thirty-ninth was organized as an infantry regiment at Indianapo¬ lis on August 29, 1861, and early in September left for Kentucky. After camping at several points it joined Buell's army, and proceeded toward Nash¬ ville. From Nashville it moved to Tennessee river, and on April 7, 1862, participated in the engagement at Shiloh, losing thirty-two men in killed and wounded. After being in the siege of Corinth with Buell, it pursued Bragg through Kentucky. Returning to Nashville in November, it marched, with Rosecrans' army, in the direction of Murfreesboro, participating in the battle of Stone's River on the last day of December, 1862, and the first two days of January, 1863. In this battle the regiment lost three hundred and eighty men, including thirty-one killed. The regiment remained in camp for some months after this engagement, and in April, 1863, was mounted, and served as mounted infantry through the campaign of that year. Skirmishes occupied the time until the sanguinary days of September 19 and 20, 1863, when the men fought at Chickamauga. In February, 1864, the regiment was re-enlisted as a veteran organization. The regiment took part in the McCook raid around Atlanta, skirmishes at Coosa river, Chehaw bridge, Alabama, the

Kilpatrick raid in Georgia, and the battles of Jonesboro, Flint river, Waynes¬ boro, Buckhead church, Browne's Cross Roads, Reynolds' farm, Aiken, Bentonville, Averasboro and Raleigh. A detachment of the regiment, left be¬ hind in Tennessee, engaged Wheeler at Franklin, and also Forrest, at Pu¬ laski. After the occupation of North Carolina by Sherman, the Eighth Cav¬ alry whipped Hampton's forces at Morrisville, and thus had the honor to have fought the last battle in that state. The regiment remained on duty in North Carolina until July 20, 1865, when it was mustered out of service and started for home. In Indianapolis it was given a public reception. The regiment, during its term of service, bore on its rolls 2,500 men; had 9 of¬ ficers killed in battle; lost 300 in prisoners; captured 1,500 men from the enemy; 1,000 stand of arms; 3 railroad trains; 1,400 horses and mules; 14 pieces of artillery; 4 flags, and destroyed many miles of railroad.

Tipton county was represented in this regiment by one hundred arid twenty-eight men. John Stevenson and John Leavell were captains in Com¬ pany G; Samuel G. Decker, John Leavell, William T. Goddard, Lawson H. Albert were lieutenants in Company G. All the men were in Company G, with the exception of four in Company L.

Forty-Seventh Indiana Volunteer Infantry

1862, with James R. Slack as colonel, the regiment being composed of com¬ panies raised in the eleventh congressional district.. On December 13th it left Indianapolis for Kentucky, where it was assigned to General Wood's brigade of Buell's army. On the 24th of February, 1862, after various marches, it was assigned to General Pope's army, and marched at once to New Madrid and engaged the enemy. After the capture of Fort Pillow the regiment was taken to Memphis. On August nth it had a skirmish with the enemy at Brown's plantation, Mississippi, losing a few men in killed and wounded. Moving to Helena, Arkansas, the regiment remained until March,

1863, when it took part in General Quinby's expedition to Yazoo Pass. As a part of General Grant's army, the regiment took part in the campaign against Vicksburg. In the battle of Champion's Hill on May 16th it lost one hundred and forty-three men, killed and wounded. The regiment next marched with Sherman's expedition to Jackson. In February, 1864, the regiment returned home on veteran furlough. Upon its return to the field the regiment moved with Banks' army up Red river in the spring of 1864, engaging actively in the whole of that campaign. In February, 1865, the regiment was trans- ported to Dauphin Island, Alabama, and took part in Canby's campaign against Mobile. After the fall of Mobile the men were moved to Shreveport, Louisiana, with General Herron to receive the surrender of General Price and the army of the Trans-Mississippi department. At this place the regi¬ ment remained until October 23, 1865, when it was mustered out of service. The men returned to Indianapolis and were present at a public reception given on the capitol grounds, and were addressed by Governor Morton, General Slack and Col. Milton S. Robinson and John A. McLaughlin.

There were one hundred and thirty-four men in this regiment from Tipton county. Marion P. Evans was an adjutant; Nicholas Van Horn, Ellison C. Hill, Isaac M. Rumsey and Thomas Paul were captains; William H. Hayford, Thomas Paul, James Evans, Joseph A. McKinsey and Peter Carey were lieutenants. Capt. Thomas Paul is the only surviving officer of this regiment from this county.

Seventy-Fifth Indiana Volunteer Infantry

The companies composing the Seventy-fifth Regiment were raised in the eleventh congressional district, Company B being wholly made up in Tipton county, I. H. Montgomery being the captain, and the camp of rendezvous at Wabash. On August 19, 1862, the regiment was mustered into service with John U. Pettit as colonel, and moved to Louisville, Kentucky, August 21. one thousand and thirty-six strong. From thence it proceeded to Lebanon, and upon the advance of Bragg's army, returned to Louisville. In the cam¬ paign that followed it took active part, marching to Frankfort, Scotsville. Gallatin, and then back to Cave City, in pursuit of Morgan's forces. Most of the winter of 1862 was passed in camp near Gallatin, and in January, 1863, the regiment moved to Murfreesboro, where it remained until June 24, serv¬ ing in General Reynolds' division.

On the 24th of June the Seventy-fifth started toward Tullahoma, and on the march engaged in the battle at Hoover's Gap. It was the first regiment to enter the rebel works at Tullahoma, about the 1st of July. Marching with Rosecrans' army toward Chattanooga, it participated in the battle at Chickamauga, losing seventeen killed and one hundred and seven wounded. After the engagement the regiment returned to Chattanooga, where it remained some months, engaging in the battle of Mission Ridge on the 24th of Novem¬ ber and losing five killed and seventeen wounded. The winter of 1863 was passed in the vicinity of Chattanooga, and early in the spring of 1864 the

On the 27th of April, 1864, all the troops composing Sherman's army were ordered to concentrate at Chattanooga. On the 7th of May, General Thomas occupied Laurel Hill. On the 12th the whole army, except Howard's corps, moved through Snake Creek Gap, on Resaca. On the 5th the battle of Resaca was fought, and the same night the rebel army retreated across the Oostanaula. Near Adairsville the rear of the rebel army was encountered and a sharp fight ensued. On the 28th the enemy made an assault at Dallas, but met with a bloody repulse. On the 27th of June an assault was made upon the enemy's position on Kenesaw, without success. On the 2d of July Kenesaw was abandoned by the enemy. On the 4th General Thomas demon¬ strated so strongly on the enemy's communications as to cause them to fall back to the Chattahoochie river and cross that river on the 9th. On the 20th the enemy sallied from his works in force and fought the battle of Peach Tree Creek. On the 22d a general battle was fought in front of Atlanta, the rebels being defeated. On the 28th the enemy made another assault upon our besieging lines, but were driven back in confusion. The siege of Atlanta vigorously progressed, with constant skirmishing. On the 25th of August the bulk of Sherman's army moved. by a circuit around Atlanta, struck its southern communications near Fairburn, destroying the West Point railway and the Macon railroad. This caused the enemy to evacuate Atlanta on the 2d of September. On the 4th the army moved slowly back to Atlanta and rested in clean, healthy camps, the first they had had for many months, and during all this campaign the Seventy-fifth was kept in almost constant action.

During the Atlanta campaign the Seventy-fifth marched and fought with the Second Brigade, Third Division, Fourteenth Army Corps, engaging in the battles of Dalton, Resaca, Dallas, Kenesaw Mountain, Peach Tree Creek and Jonesboro.

On October 1st Hood's army marched to strike Sherman's rear. On the 4th the regiment moved to Atlanta in pursuit and marched with its corps to Pine Mountain, arriving at that place in time to threaten the rear of French's rebel division, then investing the garrison at Allatoona. The enemy retreated to Dallas and thence marched for Resaca and Dalton. The Seventy-fifth marched in pursuit as far as Gaylesville, where it halted for a time in the rich valley of the Chattanooga. Then returning to Atlanta, it started from that city on the 6th of November with Sherman's army on its famous "March to the Sea," reaching Savanah in December. In January, 1865, the regiment, with its corps, marched through the Carolinas to Goldsboro. North Carolina, participating in the battles of Bentonville and Fayetteville. From Goldsboro it moved to Raleigh with the advance of the army and engaged in a skirmish at Smithfield, which was the last action had with the enemy in North Caro¬ lina. After the surrender of Johnson's army it marched to Richmond, Vir¬ ginia, and thence to Washington, D. C., where, on the 8th of June, it was mustered out of service. Returning to Indiana with five hundred and four men and officers, it was present at a public reception given to returned regi¬ ments in the capitol grounds at Indianapolis, on the 4th of June. While in Washington the remaining recruits were transferred to the Forty-second In¬ diana Regiment and continued to serve with that organization until its muster out of the service, at Louisville, Kentucky, on the 21st of July, 1865.

There were one hundred and thirty-eight men from this county in the Seventy-fifth Regiment. James B. White was an assistant surgeon; Isaac H. Montgomery and Thomas A. Ellis were captains; George L. Shaw, Noah W. Parker, T. A. Ellis, Wesley Gates and John N. Cooper were lieutenants. Fifty-one men died of wounds, thirteen in rebel prisons and one hundred and sixty-five from other causes.

One Hundred And First Indiana Volunteer Infantry

The One Hundred and First Regiment was organized in the eleventh congressional district, the same as the Seventy-fifth, during the month of August, 1862, rendezvoused at Wabash, and was mustered into the service September 7th, with William Garver as colonel. Troops were at that time being rapidly thrown into Kentucky to repel the invasion of Kirby Smith, and this regiment, being one of the new levies, moved at once to Covington, Kentucky, where it was assigned to a brigade, took position in defense, and remained until the threatening column of the enemy withdrew. On Septem¬ ber 23d the regiment sailed on a steamboat to Louisville, Kentucky, and from thence marched with the command of General McCook, on October 1st, in search of General Bragg. After a short campaign the regiment moved to Glasgow, then to the Castillian Springs, Tennessee, where it remained until December 26, 1862. The regiment then marched in pursuit of John Morgan, who was making a raid through Kentucky. The march was rapid but unsuc¬ cessful, and the command returned to its camp at Castillian Springs on Jan¬ uary 2, 1863. While stationed there the regiment was assigned to the Second Brigade, Fifth Division, Fourteenth Army Corps.

On March 18th the brigade marched from Murfreesboro for the purpose of beating up certain rebel hiding places and dispersing guerilla bands infest¬ ing Wilson county, Tennessee. Moving by the way of Gainsville and Milton, at the latter place, the rebel, John Morgan, was encountered with a force of three thousand seven hundred men, and was severely defeated. The One Hundred and First lost in this fight forty-three killed and wounded. After defeating Morgan the regiment marched with its brigade back to Mur¬ freesboro. The regiment reached the battle field of Chickamauga on Septem¬ ber 19, 1863, having marched all night. In the bloody encounter of the two days there the regiment took conspicuous part and was often selected by those in command for arduous duty on the firing line.

The regiment lost thirteen killed, eighty-five wounded and sixteen miss¬ ing, a total loss of one hundred and fourteen. The regiment remained at Rossville during the next day, and at night moved to Chattanooga, where it went on picket duty and on the 22d had a sharp picket fight, losing nine wounded and two prisoners. The regiment then retired to Chattanooga.

On October 9th the regiment was assigned to the Second Brigade, Third Division and Fourteenth Army Corps. On November 22d it moved out of camp and prepared for the assault on Mission Ridge. The regiment took part in the storming of Mission Ridge, and on the 25th moved with the pur¬ suing column to Ringgold, Georgia, losing in the battle thirty-four killed and wounded. Until the first week in May, 1864, the regiment remained near Chattanooga.

On May 7th the regiment moved with Sherman's army on its Atlanta campaign. The command of General Thomas occupied Tunnel Hill and then a demonstration was made on Buzzard Roost. After two days' fighting the regiment moved with its corps through Snake Creek Gap and on to Resaca, where it was engaged in battle. It then moved with the pursuing column to Adairsville and Cassville, participating in fights at each place. Then it moved to the right, forded the Etowah river, and moved by way of Burnt Hickory to Dallas, then took position in line of battle near Pine Hill, then changed to the left near Lost mountain and then to Kenesaw mountain, skirmishing from day to day. The regiment was in support of the Second Division in the as¬ sault on Kenesaw mountain on June 27th.

On July 3d, the enemy having withdrawn from Kenesaw, the pursuit was pressed and on the 18th the regiment crossed the Chattahoochee river. On July 22d it crossed Peach Tree creek and engaged in skirmishing until August 28th. Then it marched with the army on the flank movement around

Atlanta, and took part in the battle of Jonesboro on September ist. The regi¬ ment then marched to Atlanta. On October 3d it joined in the pursuit of Hood, and after reaching Gaylesville the pursuit ceased. The regiment then marched to Kingston and then to Atlanta.

On April 30, 1865, tliey marched by way of Richmond, Virginia, for Washington City, D. C\, reaching there May 19th. On June 24, 1865, the regiment was mustered out of the service at Louisville, Kentucky, and pro¬ ceeded to Indianapolis, arriving on the 25th, and was greeted with a public ovation in the state house grounds, after which it was finally discharged and its members returned home.

During its term of service the regiment had marched three thousand five hundred and seven miles, traveled bv railroad seven hundred and fifty-nine miles and by steamboat six hundred and fifty miles, being a total of four thousand nine hundred and sixteen miles.

There were one hundred and forty-one Tipton county boys in this regi¬ ment. James Price was an adjutant ; Thomas Whalen, a chaplain ; Alexander McCreary and Sylvester Turpen, captains; William Beeson, Elmore T. Mont¬ gomery, Ezekiel L. Cooper, Henry T. Waterman and Elisha Henry, lieu¬ tenants.

One Hundred And Fortieth Indiana Volunteer Infantry

This regiment was recruited under the President's call on July 18, 1864, for five hundred thousand men. On October 24th it was organized and mus¬ tered in the service at Indianapolis for a period of one year, with Thomas J. Brady as colonel. The regiment immediately entered the Murfreesboro cam¬ paign, participating in all of the battles and skirmishes. The regiment then was a part of the Second Brigade, First Division, Twentieth Corps. After a year's fighting, hard marching and guard duty, it was mustered out of the service at Greensboro, North Carolina, on July 11, 1863. The men returned to Indianapolis and were received loyally, and were present at the state house reception given to the returned Hoosier troops. Seventy-two men were in this regiment from Tipton county.

One Hundred And Fifty-Third Indiana Volunteer Infantry

This regiment was organized at Indianapolis on March 1, 1865, with Oliver H. P. Carey as colonel. The period of enlistment was for one year.

The regiment was first sent into Kentucky, where certain companies were engaged in fighting guerillas. The regiment was finally returned to Louis¬ ville, where it remained until September 4, 1865, wrhen it was mustered from service. Lite all other regiments, they were accorded a grand reception when they returned to the Indiana capital.

Other Regiments

In the preceding sketches of the various regiments the bare outline of the movements is all that space will permit. Again it is found necessary to treat only of the regiments which contained at least fifty men from Tipton county. Altogether there were twenty-nine regiments in which were Tipton recruits. Besides those mentioned there were four men in the Thirteenth Regiment, Indiana Volunteer Infantry; three men in the Seventeenth; four¬ teen men in the Twenty-first; twro men in the Twenty-second; eleven in the Twenty-third; fourteen in the Fortieth; fourteen in the Forty-second; twentyone in the Fifty-first; forty-six in the Fifty-seventh; one in the Fifty-ninth; six in the Eighty-ninth; eight in the One Hundred and Twenty- fourth; five in the One Hundred and Twenty-sixth; sixteen in the One Hundred and Thirtieth ; three in the One Hundred and Thirty-first ; twenty-five in the One Hundred and Thirty-second; two in the One Hundred and Forty-fifth; one in the One Hundred and Forty-seventh, and also one in the One Hundred and , Forty-eighth; and twro in the One Hundred and Fifty-first. Some of the lat¬ ter regiments listed were but one hundred days' men or one year.

From all causes the number of men called by death during the Civil war 0 who were volunteers from Tipton county was two hundred and eleven. Thirty-four men were killed outright in battle; fifty-seven were wounded; one hundred and seventy-seven died of disease ; eighteen deserted, and one hundred and forty-four were discharged for disabilities. Six hundred and forty-three men came home at the end of the war.

About one hundred thousand dollars w as paid out during the latter years of the war as bounty to volunteers in Tipton county. This amount averaged from one hundred to five hundred dollars each. Seventeen thousand seven hundred and thirty-five dollars in relief for sick soldiers' and soldiers' fam¬ ilies was also given by the county.

In the Civil war there were one thousand and seventy-three volunteers from Tipton county. One hundred and four of these were drafted. There are one thousand two hundred and twenty-eight names on the military roster, but one hundred and fifty-five of these had served part of their time, were discharged for disability, regained their health and re-volunteered, thus appearing twice on the rolls.

John R. Porter, of Wildcat township, was one of the raiders who cap¬ tured the engine "General" from the rebels in April, 1862, one of the most daring and hazardous feats of the war. Porter was a member of Company G, Twenty-first Ohio Regiment. An account of this episode follows:

There was a railroad running from Chattanooga to Atlanta and the Union army was sadly in need of a railroad locbmotive and the only way to get one was to steal one from the Confederacy, if possible. After the officers had consulted about the matter, they decided that if they could get volunteers to make the attempt they would commission them for the deed. James J. Andrews volunteered to make the attempt and twenty-one others joined him, one of them being the Tipton county man. They stole their way through the rebel camps, over their roads, through their towns and into their houses, until they arrived at Marietta, where there was an engine called the "General," and they bought tickets for the next station and acted like they were Confederate refugees and succeeded in avoiding suspicion. They went in the cars and mingled with the other passengers until they arrived at Big Shanty. Here the conductor called out, "Twenty minutes for breakfast." Trainmen and passengers left the cars and went to the restaurant, a few rods away, and while they were eating, Andrews and his brave men uncoupled the engine from the passenger cars and, with two freight cars, pulled the throttle and away the engine went. The astonished Confederates were dumbfounded. They were at a dead loss to understand how the engine got away from them. There was no telegraph office at Big Shanty. While the Confederates were excitedly trying to find a way out of their dilemma the engine was speeding away with all the steam the brave Union heroes could give her. They would come to a station, make inquiry about the right of way, and then start on, always playing that they were rebels to the station agents. The Confederates finally got another engine and they started after the runaway. They had plenty of steam, knew the road and the advantage of the telegraph wires and knew where the runaway was, and with plenty of soldiers were gaining on the raiders. The Andrews force was ready to fight, but water was giving out and there was no more fuel, when they heard the engine of the Confederates com¬ ing up behind. They thr^w ties on the track, set fire to bridges and did all in their power to destroy the road behind them, but on came the Confederates.

After a most exciting chase for many miles it began to be seen that it would be impossible to make their escape and it was a question to know what to do. When the engine died in its tracks the Confederates were so close that they began firing and Andrews gave the command to every one to take care of himself and make his escape. They reversed the engine, but it was so near dead that it could barely move, and the Confederates soon had possession of it. Then the soldiers took after the fleeing raiders and succeeded in capturing every one of them. While they had scattered into small parties and each fellow was running for dear life, a gun would bring them to a halt and they were prisoners of war.

Before giving up the engine, Andrews ran his train in under a covered bridge and cut loose one of the freight cars, filled with timber and set on fire, but before it got to burning very briskly the Confederates arrived and pushed the car out and extinguished the fire.

After the capture of the raiders a court martial was held and Andrews and seven others hanged, six were exchanged from the Confederate prison at Atlanta and eight made their escape.

The eight, with their leader, lie beneath the quiet sod in Chattanooga, Tennessee. Above them is a massive tribute in bronze and granite, a minia¬ ture "General" standing on its heavy pedestal. The monument is the queerest and quaintest in the world.

James J. Andrews, of Flemingsburg, Kentucky; William H. Campbell, of Kentucky; John A. Porter, now of Windfall, Indiana; Marion A. Ross, William Pittenger, Robert Buffman, Martin J. Hawkins, William H. Red¬ dick, Daniel Dorsey, John Wollam, Samuel Slavens, Samuel Robertson and Jacob Parrott, all of Ohio.

Medals of honor were issued by the government to' the survivors, those who escaped and those who were exchanged. Medals were also presented to the relatives of those eight men (where they could be found) who were exe¬ cuted as spies.

Belle Boyd

Everyone has heard or read of Belle Bovd, that versatile and beautiful Confederate spy. This notorious woman spy was at one time captured by Marcellus Racobs, a resident of Tipton county.

Squire Racobs was but a boy about eighteen years of age and he was a member of the Sixtieth Ohio Regiment. During the year 1862 he was doing picket duty near Winchester, Virginia. By some means while performing this service he became separated from his regiment and was thrown in with a regiment from Massachusetts. Early in the morning, just at the break of day, he heard a carriage coming down the road and as it approached him he discovered that it was a closed carriage with two fine horses hitched to it and being driven by a negro.- When it came up to him he drew his gun and called a halt. The negro stopped the horses and Mr. Racobs went to the carriage, when he found that the occupant was a lonely lady. He asked her who she was, where she was going and what authority she had for driving through the lines. She became very indignant, said that it was an outrage that a lady should be so humiliated, but Mr. Racobs was persistent and compelled her to show her authority. She produced a pass, signed by a Federal officer, which was evidence enough that she had a right to pass through the lines, but Mr. Racobs became more suspicious, owing to the early hour in the morning, for it seemed strange to him that a woman would venture out at such an hour when there was danger of travel even in daylight. To be on the safe side, he called for a corporal, who came up and both looked in upon the woman. She was a perfect picture of beauty, apparently about eighteen years of age, with large brown eyes, long golden hair and a complexion of ivory. She was so beautiful, so refined and smiled upon them so sweetly that they were very much embarrassed, but there was a duty to perform and in the face of her winsome ways, her voice that of an angel and her pleadings that of an Evan¬ geline, they demanded that she get out of the carriage and permit a search to be made. Finally, when she saw that it was hopeless, she indignantly un¬ fastened her skirt from around the waist and pulled it off and threw it to them. Upon examination they found sewed up in the folds of the skirt letters, orders, communications, plans, maps, charts, messages and informa¬ tion of the condition of the Federal army and its movements, its plans and ob¬ jects, that she was taking from Winchester to General "Stonewall" Jackson.

Upon this discovery it developed that she was a rebel spy and was trying to smuggle through the Federal lines into the Rebel camp valuable informa-

At the time the incident occurred Mr. Racobs did not know that it was the notorious Belle Boyd, the most vivacious and venturesome girl in all America, and when he found it out it excited him very much, for Belle Boyd was a hated woman among the Union soldiers and her achievements as a spy were the terror of the Union army. She could come and go, pass and repass, get into the Union ranks, gather information and make her escape and give information to the Confederate army that was of the greatest value to them.

A number of years ago Belle Boyd was in Tipton and she met Mr. Racobs and they had a long talk of their experience. She could not remem¬ ber this particular incident, but it was so similar to so many others that there can be little doubt about it being the same woman. Her home was in Win¬ chester, Virginia, and it was from there she operated. She was a great pedes¬ trian and horseback rider, she could climb a tree, shoot a gun, and stand all kinds of physical exposure. While in Tipton she told many incidents of the war, how often she had been captured and by her beauty and winning ways would make her escape. She told of one incident where a lieutenant was de¬ tailed to deliver an important message to a certain officer, and that absolute secrecy must be kept and none but the officer to whom it was addressed must see or know that he was in possession of it. Belle Boyd found out that this young lieutenant had an important order and she must get it. She managed to waylay and fell into conversation with him. She smiled so sweetly on him until he was completely within her power. She threw back her head and pouched out her lips in such a way that he yielded to temptation and he asked ' permission to kiss her. She granted it and he threw his arms around her and planted a great, big hearty kiss upon her red and rosy lips. While he was kissing her, she slipped her fingers in his vest pocket, stole the message, bade him good-bye and flew to the headquarters of General Beauregard, who im¬ mediately ordered the bugle sound and in a few minutes his men were in line, a battle was fought and the Union arms suffered severely. This noted spy paid several visits to Tipton before her death, which occurred in 1907.

Spanish-American War

The events leading up to the outbreak of hostilities between the United States of America and the Spanish kingdom are a matter of recent history. The principal dates and moves, however, follow :

Congress passed resolutions of intervention on the island of Cuba. On the ^3d the President called for one hundred and twenty-five thousand volun¬ teers to serve in the army for two years. On the 23th war was declared with Spain, and the quota for Indiana was fixed at four regiments of infantry and two light batteries of artillery. Governor Mount accordingly ordered the militia to report at Indianapolis. The first company arrived early on the morning of April 26th and was encamped at the fair grounds. Among the regiments there were several vacancies to be filled by new companies, the regiments having been depleted since the close of the Civil war. Tipton's company was among these accepted, to be known as Company I of the Fourth Indiana Volunteer Infantry.

In numbering the regiments after being mustered into service, it was determined to begin the numbers where the war of the Rebellion left off. The Third, being the first ready to be mustered, was designated as the One Hundred and Fifty-eighth, and so on. The Fourth, of which the Tipton company was a part, became the One Hundred and Sixtieth. Besides Tipton, this latter regiment had companies from Marion, Decatur, Lafayette, Wa¬ bash, Bluffton, Ossian, Columbia City, Warsaw, Huntington, Anderson and Logansport.

The regiment arrived at Camp Mount in Indianapolis on April 26, 1898, and, after a most rigid physical examination of both officers and men, was mustered into the volunteer service of the United States on May 12, 1898. They left Camp Mount on May 16th, and proceeded by rail to Camp Thomas, Chickamauga Park, Georgia, arriving there on the 18th. Under orders to proceed to Porto Rico, the regiment left Camp Thomas on July 28th and arrived at Newport News, Virginia, on July 30th. The orders in regard to Porto Rico were countermanded, the regiment left Newport News on August 2 1st and went to Camp Hamilton, Lexington, Kentucky, where it arrived on August 23d. On November 9th the regiment left there, and were taken to Columbus, Georgia, arriving there November nth. On January 15, 1899, the regiment was ordered to Matanzas, Cuba, in three sections, uniting there in camp on the 27th. Until March 27th the men remained in Cuba, when they were ordered to proceed to Savannah, Georgia. At that place they were mustered out on April 25, 1899.

Of Company I, George Dyer was captain; Robert M. VanBuskirk, first lieutenant; George Knee, Jr., second lieutenant; Jesse H. Barlow, first ser¬ geant; Edward Burns, quartermaster sergeant; Joseph Partlow, Horace S. Matthews, Harry Mitchell and Allan Gifford, sergeants; Dillon Alexander of

Elwood, Willard N. Wolverton, Cleo Mount, Harry Phares, Edwin Grishaw of Sharpsville and George Lane, corporals; Elmer L. Brook and Elmer L. Hassel, musicians ; James W. Russell, artificer ; Otho McKay, wagoner. There were sixty-one recruits from Tipton county, out of eighty-eight total. The recruits who served in this company from this county were Morton Basey, Theodore Cox, Artie Walter Cook, Elbert Eaton, Clem Furry, Estes Fields, Charles B. Franklin, George Grishaw, James Gillian, Robert Haskett, Harry Herman, Jasper Henry, Frank Hoback, Harry Justus, Fred Jarrett, LeRoy Long, Frank Logan, Charles Leach, Clarence Law, William McCreary, David McNew, James A. Midkiff, Jesse Norris, John Norris, Monroe Partlow, Oliver Pickerel, Fred Recobs, Alphos O. Smith, Jerry Spaulding, Dilver Seright, Elmer Taylor, Jacob J.
