Obituary
John T. Clark was born May 25th 1844 and departed this life April 5, 1922 at the age of 77 years, 10 months and ten days.
  He was one of a family of four, two brothers and one sister having preceded him to the better world.  At the age of seventeen years he enlisted in the 120th O.V.I., in which capacity he served until the close of the war in 1865.  He was united in marriage to Miss Ollvan [see name above] Crummel September 7, 1865.  To this union were born five girls and two boys, one daughter dying in infancy, two daughters, Mrs. Frank Billard, and Mrs. John Darr of Wooster have died in recent years.  The mother and wife preceded him in death some four and one half years ago.  Mr. Clark is survived by two sons and two daughters, Mrs. Frank Read of West Salem, Mrs. T.J.

Hardesty's Historical and Geographical Encyclopedia. [Wayne County Ohio version] published in 1885, page496, Sugar Creek  Twp section:
Thomas Reed Erwin was a boy of seventeen years of age when the first gun of the civil war was fired, and when he passed his 18th birthday he enlisted in the cause of good government; when he was twenty years and twenty -five days old he died in its defense.  He was enrolled in Company D, 120th Ohio Volunteer Infantry, May 15, 1862, at Dalton, Wayne county, and was mustered in at Camp Mansfield in September following.  He was never sick of absent from duty from his enlistment to his death, sharing the hardships his regiment underwent in the campaigns under Sherman and under Grant against Vicksburg, and in the battles of the campaigns in which his regiment participated, including Chickasaw Bayou, Arkansas Post, Thompsons Hill, Raymond, Black River Bridge, the forty-seven day siege of Vicksburg.  Of his action in one of the assaults on Vicksburg he wrote home to his mother, "I fired so rapidly my gun got so hot I had to lay it down and take another."  The last letter received from him by the loving home circle was addressed to a sister, and contained some pictures he had had taken for them all, and of which he said: "Look at them all you please."  This letter dated April 23, 1864, said: "We are going to re-inforce Banks on Red River."  Eleven days after it was written he was on Red river, in the City Belle, when it was disabled off Snaggy Point, and he was shot through the thigh, removed to a shanty near the river, where he bled to death, and was buried with several companions under the alien sod.  This young patriot was born in Sugar Creek township, Wayne county, April 8, 1844, and he left to mourn their loss in his death, a loving father and mother, and four brothers, five sisters.  His father, Cunningham Erwin, was born October 29, 1817, and died June 3, 1874, of liver complaint.  He seemed always to mourn the son he had lost and never was the same after his death.  The mother of Thomas Reed Erwin, for whom this sketch is compiled, was Mary Ann Reed before her marriage, born December 6, 1824.  She lives on the family farm in Sugar Creek township, one married son living with her, and two sons in Baughman township.  Four of her daughters are married, and living in Wayne county, and the youngest is still with her.  Her post office address is Dalton.

Gaut volunteered at Wooster, August 23, 1862, and at Mansfield, Richland county, September 10th, was mustered into Company D, 120th Ohio Volunteer Infantry, as a private.  For good soldierly conduct he was promoted corporal, then sergeant.  The first promotion was at Mansfield, and the second at Vicksburg.  He saw three years active service, and was only absent from duty three weeks, when he was in hospital at Memphis, ill with cholera morbus and camp diarrhea, but was never absent when the regiment was in action.  He took part in the battles of Chickasaw Bayou, Arkansas Post, those of his regiment in the advance under Grant on Vicksburg, and the siege of that city, those of the Red River expedition, including Snaggy Point, where the colonel of the regiment fell, and of more than four hundred men only one hundred and sixty-two escaped capture, Mr. Gaut being one of the fortunate ones.  He also shared in the taking of Fort Blakeley.  He was mustered out with the regiment, at Galveston, Texas, July 24, 1865.  John and Elizabeth (France) Gaut are his parents, and he was born in Wayne township, Wayne county, October 26, 1828.  He was first married to Rebecca N. Downing.  She was born in Wooster, July 7, 1828; they were married October 10, 1854, and she died May 24, 1864, having been the mother of two children:  Mary D., born November 8, 1855; Stephen H., born January 6, 1858, died August 27th following.  In Wayne County, March 19, 1866, Benjamin F. Gaut and Mattie J. McAfee were united in marriage, and their children were born:  Anna M., February 11, 1867; Frank A., April 22, 1868; Florence A., January 9, 1870; Cora M., August 25, 1871; John E., April 2, 1875; Grace E., March 3, 11875; George C., October 12, 1876.  Mrs. Gaut was born in Ireland, May 13, 1832, the daughter of Samuel and Grace (Stinson) McAfee.  Farming is Mr. Gaut's occupation, and Shreve is his postoffice address."

There is no obituary listed at Wooster for Benjamin Gaut.

 Hardesty's Historical and Geographical Encyclopedia. [Wayne County Ohio version] published in 1885, page 506, Green Twp section:
Henry Hartman joined the Union army at Mansfield, Oct 17, 1862, Company D, 120th Ohio Volunteer Infantry, which in service was assigned 1st brigade, 2d division, 13th army corps.  He was a participant in the action of this gallant regiment in the battles of Chickasaw Bayou, and Arkansas Post.  In the latter battle the 120th was the first regiment to enter the rebel fort, and their colors the first to wave over the rebel ramparts.  Owing to the efficient service of the Foster battery, which disabled the rifled cannon which commanded the field, and also that of the gunboat Benton, disabling the cannon commanding the river, this entrance was effected with but small loss of life.  When the fort was in the hands of the Union soldiers, having no other ammunition, they cut the railroad iron which guarded the outside of the fort and shot into the ranks of the foe and it proved a more destructive weapon than the shell.  At this place, Mr. Hartman narrowly escaped with his life.  A minieball struck just in front of where he lay, scattering dirt all over him, and filling his eyes with mud.  After this engagement he was next on the field at Youngs Point, and later, engaged in shelling the forts about Grand Gulf.  In the rear of Vicksburg, the regiment was twice employed in charging the works, and the second time some of the men succeeded in gaining the breastworks.  A part of the time the Wisconsin regiment that had the eagle "Old Abe" was with them in the charge. [Eau Claire Eagles Company C 8th regiment of Wisconsin]  After the fall of Vicksburg, Mr. Hartman was sent to take part in the advance on Jackson, Mississippi.  At this place he became quite sick, and was sent to the hospital at New Orleans.  He rejoined the regiment before the Red River expedition, and was taken prisoner at Snaggy Point, and with many of his company, and a large number of prisoners from many different States, he endured the dreadful hardships of Camp Ford, Texas.  The dreadful privations and inhumane cruelty practiced upon these brave men, are fully recounted in another part  of this Encyclopedia.  The ingenuity displayed by some of the men was truly wonderful.  With only two axes, the winter quarters of this entire company were constructed.  One of the men made a lathe, and from clay found within the borders of the prison, made different articles of pottery.  Another formed a "gigsaw" from an old hoop skirt and began the manufacture of combs.  Another engaged in making sweet potato pies, which were sold to the Confederates.  As they had neither sugar or salt, and were limited in all their resources, it is hard to imagine how these pies were made.   These prisoners were dismissed at the close of the war, reached Ohio, and received their discharge from the government at Columbus, July 7, 1865.  The length of Mr. Hartman's army life was two years, eight months and twenty days.  He is the son of Michael and Catharine (Christman) Hartman, and was born October 16, 1841.  At Mt. Eaton, Ohio, September 1, 1871, Susan Witwer became his wife.  She was the daughter of Michael and Magdalena (Winger) Witwer, and was born April 16, 1844.  One son has been given Mr. and Mrs. Hartman, DeGlenn, born August 9, 1874.  A brother of Mrs. Hartman, Henry Witwer, was a member of Company H, 120th Ohio Volunteer Infantry, and died in the hospital at Benton Barracks, St. Louis, Missouri, July 25, 1863.  Mr. Hartman is engaged as a dry goods merchant at Orrville, Ohio.

Elijah Garrison Keister -- was one of Wayne county's volunteers to the 120th Ohio Infantry, mustering into Company D of that regiment at Camp Mansfield, October 17, 1862.  He served in the ranks until after the battles of Chickasaw Bayou and Arkansas Post, and on return to the Mississippi, at Youngs Point, he was detailed teamster, in which capacity he served till the regiment reported at New Orleans, previous to the Red River campaign.  Through the advance on Vicksburg and its siege he was hauling munitions, mail, and provisions, and was busy  and efficient in keeping his company supplied with these necessities.  While the army lay at Millikens Bend he was detailed transport to the boats, then was ordered on the boat with wagon and six mules, and taken one hundred and fifty miles up the river to James Landing, where he helped to load several thousand bales of cotton.  At Yazoo river he helped to load a pontoon bridge under heavy fire from the enemy.  On the capture of the City Belle, at Snaggy Point, Mr. Keister was one of the unfortunates.  He jumped ashore, and taking in the situation, started to run, throwing his gun and cartridge box into the river first.  But he was captured, and sent via Alexandria to Shreveport, where he was lodged in the jail for a time, then marched to Camp Ford, Texas, where for thirteen months he never had enough to eat a single day, and was subjected to the other privations we have elsewhere described. [See the history page on this site.] He has in his possession still a specimen of the roughly ground meal furnished them for food.  After he was discharged he marched to Shreveport, went by boat to New Orleans, thence by St. Louis and Cincinnati to Columbus, where he was discharged from the service July 9, 1865.  He was born in Salt Creek township, Wayne county August 22, 1834, son of Adam and Barbara (Shuman) Keister, and was married in East Union township, October 2, 1856.  His wife is Sarah, daughter of Joseph and Harriet (Thompson) Martin, born in Salt Creek township, February 18, 1839.  They have an only son, Joseph Martin [KEISTER]. born December 21, 1858, living at home.  Mrs. Keister lost two brothers in the service, Joseph, supposed to have been killed by Indians in the West; Elias D. belonged to Co.

CAPTAIN BENJAMIN F. MILLER BIO: Commemorative Biographical Record Wayne and Holmes Ohio Beers 1889 p 536 - 537 
Captain Benjamin F. Miller, son of Benjamin and Martha (Hemphill) Miller, natives of Pennsylvania, was born October 2, 1832, at Mount Pleasant, Westmoreland Co., Penn. John Miller, the grandfather of Benjamin F., came to Wayne County, Ohio, about 1825, and located in Wayne Township, where he was engaged in farming. He died there in 1846. Benjamin Miller, father of Benjamin F., and the eldest of John's family, was born in Juniata County, Penn., in 1799. He remained with his parents until eighteen years of age, when he went to Westmoreland County, Penn., and here he met the lady whom he married. After this event they first located at Stewart's Station in the same county. In 1846 they came to Wayne County, and took up their residence in Wayne Township for about one year, when they purchased a farm in Chester Township, same county. In 1863 they retired from the farm, and moved into Wooster, where they spent the remainder of their lives. Mr. Miller was an active member of the Whig, and afterward of the Republican, party, and filled several township offices in Chester Township. They died in 1880 and 1879, respectively, prominent members of the Associate Reformed Church. They reared a family of nine children, all of whom are living except Margaret, who married John Cherry, and died in Iowa. Those living are Elizabeth, wife of David B. Funk, of Wooster, Ohio; Nancy, wife of John Long, also of Wooster; John, in Chester Township; Sarah Ann, wife of Thomas Van Sweergin, of Congress Township, Wayne County; Mary, a maiden lady, also in Wooster; Benjamin F., our subject; Derinda, a maiden lady, in Wooster, and Lucinda, wife of Alex Postleweight, in Orrville.

The subject of this sketch came to Wayne County with his parents in 1846, and was reared on the farm, receiving his education at the township schools. In 1848 he proceeded overland to the rocky Mountains and California, spending four years in that section. In August, 1862, he enlisted in company D, One Hundred and Twentieth Ohio Volunteer Infantry, and was promoted to fifth sergeant, then to first lieutenant, and finally to captain of his company. He was captured at Snaggy Point, La., on the Red River steamer "Belle, " and confined at Camp Ford, near Tyler, in Northeast Texas, for thirteen months. He and some fellow prisoners escaped in December, and reached the northern lines in March, having traveled between 600 and 700 miles. He then served his country until his honorable discharge at Columbus, Ohio, June 30, 1865. After the close of the war Capt. Miller returned to farming and lumbering, and in 1874 he purchased his present farm. September 28, 1865, he married Miss Julia A. Baumgardner, daughter of Peter Baumgardner, of Wayne Township, and they have one child, Ora Eveline, living at home. Capt. Miller votes the Republican ticket, and although living in a Democratic township has held various offices, having served as school director for twelve years. He is a member of Givens Post, No. 133, G. A. R., of Wooster, and is a prominent member of the Wooster Presbyterian Church, having served as one of its trustees for six years.

Hardesty's Historical and Geographical Encyclopedia. [Wayne County Ohio version] published in 1885, page 500, Chester Twp section:
William Henry Piper was 20 years of age when he offered his services to his country, and nine months later he sealed his devotion with his life.  He enlisted at Mansfield, Richland county, September, 1862, and on the 17th of October following he was enrolled a member of Company D, 120th Ohio Volunteer Infantry.  The regiment was hurried into service, and assigned to the 3d brigade, 9th division, 13th army corps, in the left wing of the Army of the Tennessee, under General Sherman.  It saw a long and brilliant series of engagements, but Mr. Piper's share included only the battles of Chickasaw Bayou and Arkansas Post.  In these he participated with the courage of a veteran soldier.  In the vigor of his young manhood he was one of those early stricken by the scourge of camp life, chronic diarrhea, by which he was unfitted for service.  He was ordered home, but entered the hospital at St. Louis, in the spring of 1863, hoping to gain some strength there.  Growing steadily worse, and longing to die at home, and with his kindred, he resumed his journey northward, reached his native State, and died at Columbus, on the 28th of June, 1863.  Jacob and Catherine (Thomas) Piper were his parents, and he was born in July, 1842.  His father is now a farmer near New Pittsburg, and for him this sketch has been prepared.

History of Wayne County Ohio, published in 1910 by B.E. Bowen and Co.
CAPT. WESLEY WELLS SPEAR. What greater badge of honor could be stowed upon a man than to allude to him as one of the "boys in blue," who readily sacrificed the pleasures of home and business opportunities to do what he could in saving the honor of the old flag? One of this brave number is Capt. Wesley W. Spear, an interesting and deserving citizen of Wooster, Wayne county, who was born in that city December 28,1835, the son of William Spear, who was born near Shippingberg, Pennsylvania, in 1803, and who came to Wayne county about 1827. He was a cabinetmaker by trade, and he located in Wooster where he established a shop and led a very active life here until his death, in 1890, at the advanced age of eighty-seven years. He was an honest, hardworking and highly respected man. He married Malinda Wells a native of York county, Pennsylvania. Her father conducted a whip factory at Wellsville, that county, and the town derived its name from the family. Mrs. Spear was born in 1808 and died the same year as her husband, 1890--in fact only four days after her husband passed away. To them seven children were born, four of whom lived to maturity, Wesley W., of this review, being a twin brother of William Fletcher, who died about five years ago, Caroline Spear, and Olive, widow of Rev. James Mendenhall, both of whom reside in Arkansas, are the other children. Captain Spear has always made Wooster his home, although he has traveled from the Atlantic to the Pacific. On August 6, 1862, he enlisted in Company D, One Hundred and Twentieth Regiment Ohio Volunteer Infantry, and very faithfully served for a period of three years. He was mustered in at Camp Mansfield, Ohio, as a private, and he proved to be a very capable soldier from the first, having been commissioned a second lieutenant and a few days later was made first lieutenant. He had a varied and interesting experience during the service, taking part in many battles and engagements, among them being the battle of Chickasaw Bayou, Arkansas Post, Thompson's Hill, Champion's Hill and the siege of Vicksburg, under General Sherman. He was wounded at Jackson, Mississippi, July 12, 1863, having been shot in the right groin with a minie ball. This brought him home on a furlough, but, recovering, he later rejoined his regiment in western Louisiana, where the brigade was divided an! d Mr. Spear was stationed on Colonel Shelton's staff, doing staff duty that winter at Peackamon, Louisiana. Again in active service, he was with his company going up Red river when the boat which was transporting them was fired on and captured, their colonel and about one-half of the company killed or captured. This necessitated consolidation with the One Hundred and fourteenth Ohio Regiment, and Mr. Spear was made captain and given command of Company H, of that regiment. As captain of that company he was in the siege of Fort Blakeley at Mobile, also Spanish Fort there. Near the close of the war Captain Spear was transferred to the Forty-eighth Regiment, Ohio Volunteers, and after a very eventful career he was mustered out of service at Houston, Texas, October 17, 1865, after which he returned to Wooster, and, with his father, engaged in the cabinetmaking and undertaking business. After the war his eyesight began to fail gradually, and in 1885 he became totally blind, and he has since lived in quiet retirement from the world. Captain Spear was married in 1858 to Anna M. Watt, who was born in north Ireland and came to Philadelphia when five years of age with her father, who went into the produce business there, later removing to Wooster, Ohio, and continued the same line of business here for several years. Of the seven children born to the Captain and wife, only two survive, namely: Charles Wesley Spear, of Northampton, Massachusetts, and Jesse Watt Spear, a conductor on the Pennsylvania railroad at Crestline, Ohio. Captain Spear lives on West Liberty street in the home he purchased in 1867. He belongs to the Grand Army of the Republic, being a charter member of Given Post. Notwithstanding his affliction, Captain Spear is a cheerful, genial and interesting man to talk to, who enjoys life, conscious of the fact that he has performed his duty well and greater rewards await him than his fellow-men have ever bestowed. A man of good health, of snowy hair and beard, he is a picturesque character and is greatly admired by all who know him.

Sudden Death of John Winkler
The sudden death of John Winkler, of Overton, Tuesday morning caused universal sadness among neighbors and acquaintances of the aged war veteran.
  Mr. Winkler, whose health had not been of the best in recent years, was not thought to be in a serious condition at the time of death.  He had arisen as usual to start the fire in the stoves Tuesday morning.
  After performing his duties he sat down in a rocking chair and when Mrs. Winkler came into the room, she noticed that her husband was rubbing his hands, yet thought nothing of it, as it was his custom.
  The wife remarked something about the nice morning and Mr. Winkler responded in the affirmative.  Immediately his head dropped to one side and Mrs. Winkler ran to him chaffing his hands and face, but to no avail.  He made one gasp and passed away.  Mr. Winkler was aged about 70 years, and besides the wife, one daughter and three sons survive to mourn the departure of a good father and husband.
  They are Thomas Winkler, Canaan; William Winkler, Canal Dover; Charles at home, and Mrs. Effie Hartman, northwest of Wooster.
  Mr. Winkler was a member of Co. D, 120th Regiment, O.V.I., and enlisted in Wooster where he is widely known.
