Who is this John Bair who died in 1890?  Was he a relative of either soldier?  Did someone put the flag holder for the 48th at this man's grave thinking that he was one of the two soldiers listed on this page?  There is evidence that the other two on this page were soldiers in the 120th and the 48th but no proof that this man was in the Civil War in the 48th.   Soldiers and Sailors System lists: John M BAER, 1st Lieut., Co E 48th OH Inf., enlisted at age 18 in 1862. Lieut. John M. Baer died in California in 1936. John BAIR, Pvt, Co E 48th OH Inf., enlisted at 22 in 1862.  Private John Bair of the 48th OH died after 1910, so this is not that man.   And yet a flag holder with the 48th on it is located at this John Bair's cemetery plot.   John Bair, Civil War Veteran, is buried at Wooster Cemetery, 1840 to 1890, section 4, 991E½..  He has a flag holder showing that he was in Company E of the 48th OVVI.

Wayne County probate  lists Mary Ann's parents as John Bair and Christiana Hanshery Wayne County probate has this interesting entry.  John Bear and Enicha C. Henshaw were the parents of John W.

History of Richland County, 1908, by A.J. Baughman   pp. 736-737 This history has a biography of the son Allen E. Bell.  It states that Robert W. was born in Troy township on 2 September 1825, his parents coming from PA to OH in 1820.  A year later they moved to Worthington Township on eighty acres of land on section fifteen where they built a log house.  It says that Robert was in Company H 120th OVI and Company E 114th and mustered out in July 1865 at Houston TX.

His occupation was listed as teacher.  (This and his age make me think that he was not a student, but rather a teacher with Taylor at the Smithville Academy.)  His siblings were: Katherine (Alice), Elizabeth M., Rebecca, David R., Reuben, Noah, Alpheus A., and Sarah. This announcement was published in the Salem Republican, 14 Jan 1863:  "Died, Andrew B Bushong, formerly a resident of Columbiana, and a member of the 120th Ohio Regiment, died at Memphis TN of Typhoid fever on the 28th ult [28 Dec1862]."

Thompson testified that "he left the Company, to the best of my knowledge, without authority, although the Captain that then had command of the Company allowed some to go home on his won authority.  The prisoner made application to one, stating that his brother of some other Ohio Regiment had been killed in battle and his body was being sent home at that time.  I simply ordered him to the Captain.  He has been absent from the company since then."  Noah testified that, "The only thing that took me away was the death of my brother. I asked the Captain then in command of my Company, for permission to go home and he said that he could not give one permission to go at that time, as there were already too many at home on 'French Leaves'; but said 'that he guessed they would not do much with me if I went.'  I then went home with out leave..."  There was some question as to whether his not being mustered in yet at the time he went home would release him of guilt in this matter. However he was found guilty and sentenced to one year with ball and chain attached to his left leg performing hard labor. He served his year at Camp Nelson, KY and then returned to the army after an 18 day furlough to go home.  (It's a wonder he would not be afraid to do that!) Years later, however, when applying for a pension he maintained that he had never had a ball and chain at any time during his year of labor. __________________________ The Roll of Honor in the back of the Roster book for the Ohio soldiers says that Andrew Bushong is buried in the Mississippi River Cemetery in Memphis TN.

From Barbara Lawrence, Buzzard Researcher The following is found on pages 266-67 of Portrait and Biographical Record of Johnson and Pettis Counties, Missouri (Containing Portraits and Biographical Sketches of Prominent and Representative Citizens of the Counties Together with Biographies and Portraits of all the Presidents of the United States)  Chicago:  Chapman Publishing Co. 1895.  BIGELOW D. BUZZARD has been engaged in agricultural pursuits on section 24, township 45, range 29, Johnson County, for the past quarter of a century.  He is a patriotic citizen, and one greatly interested in the prosperity of the country for which he fought during the War of the Rebellion.  He was born in Holmes County, Ohio, September 29, 1830, and was reared to maturity on his father's farm.  After receiving ordinary educational privileges, and when twenty-two years of age, he went to a boarding- school for a few months, paying for his tuition with money he had earned himself. [about his parents] The father of our subject, Daniel Buzzard, was born in Westmoreland County, Pa., July 19, 1790, and served in the War Of 1812, on the lake.  Afterward he settled in Holmes County, Ohio, entering land from the Government, and resided there until 1850, when he sold out, locating near Odella Lake.  In 1853 he went to-Richland County, where he purchased one hundred and thirty-five acres, and thereon spent the remainder of his life.  He never received a pension nor land-warrant, because there had not been proper records of his army service kept, but he bought a couple of land-warrants of a nephew, and located three hundred and twenty acres in Linn County, Iowa.  He was twice married, his first wife being a Miss Nancy Drake, by whom he had fifteen children, all but five of whom lived to manhood and womanhood.  A strong anti-slavery man, he rejoiced at the downfall of the system, and after the organization of the Republican party became one of its supporters.  His death occurred August 16, 1865. [more about Bigelow Buzzard] B. D. Buzzard was reared on his father's farm, and continued to work on the place until 1860, with the exception of a few short intervals. [So Bigleow joined the Company out of Richland county.]  November 15, 1860, he wedded Araminda Brown, who was born in Richland County, Ohio, September 16, 1841, being a daughter of Caleb and Elizabeth (Johnston) Brown, natives of Butler County, Pa., and Greene County, Ohio, respectively.  The mother's parents, however, were also from the Keystone State. The Browns and Johnstons were of Scotch and Irish descent, but for many generations had lived in America.  The Buzzard family is of German origin, and our subject's father could speak little English until after he was twelve years of age. Before his marriage Bigelow Buzzard erected a large house on his father's farm, and both families lived together after that event.  In September, 1862, he enlisted in Company H, One Hundred and Twentieth Ohio Infantry, and took part in the battles of Arkansas Post, Milliken's Bend and the siege of Vicksburg.  May 1, 1863, he was wounded in the right lung and fell prostrate, but as soon as he was able to stand, he was led to the rear, where his wounds were dressed, and for about two months he was in the field hospital.  He came very near death's door, and attributes his recovery partly to the fact that he was kept on a diet of boiled milk, which is nourishing and easily digested.  June 29, 1863, he was taken to Benton Barracks, near St. Louis, and was there honorably discharged on the 17th of the following month.  He went to the front under Captain Phelan, later served under Captain Taylor, and had as his Colonel a Mr. French, from his native county. Returning home, Mr. Buzzard lived in Richland County, Ohio, until March, 1866, and there four of his children were born.  Moving to Cooper County, Mo., he purchased one hundred and twenty acres, paying the amount required on the spot, and cultivated the farm for two years.  In 1868, selling out, he moved to Johnson County and invested in a tract of one hundred and thirty- five acres.  In 1870 he also sold this tract, buying instead his present home of a quarter-section.  Since then he has added another eighty acres, and thus has a valuable farm, comprising two hundred and forty acres within its boundaries. The eldest child of Mr. and Mrs. Buzzard, Annie Violet, born July 14, 1861, married George Frary, and died January 7, 1895, leaving four children, one having previously died in infancy.  Ulysses Grant, born June 19, 1864, and a resident of Kingsville Township, is married and has one child.  Jeanette F., born January 7, 1866, is clerking in Salida, Colo.  Martha E., born in Cooper County, Mo., November 29, 1867, died December 18, 1871.  Alice E., a native of this county, born June 16, 1869, married Albert Frary, by whom she has one child, and is a resident of Linn County, Iowa.  The younger children are Gilbert N., born January 31, 1870; Lizzie Pauline, February 11, 1873; Ethel Blanche, September 27, 1874; Minnie L., January 9, 1878; Maude E., March 25, 1880; Guy Ashton, December 5, 1881; Josie Olive, May 22, 1883; and Cora Augusta, August 30, 1886. Politically Mr. Buzzard is a Republican, with strong prohibition proclivities.  Both he and his wife have been members of the Methodist Episcopal Church for many years, the former having become identified with the same in his early manhood, and the latter having been a member since 1862.  They are worthy people and well entitled to a place among the honored old residents of Johnson County. -------------- Bigelow Daniel Buzzard died 6 Mar 1900 in Holden, Johnson County, MO and was buried in Kingsville Cemetery, Kingsville, Johnson County MO.  His wife Arminda (Minnie) Brown  was born: 16 Sep 1841  Neville,Clermont Co.,OH and died: 29 Sep 1921  Bloomington, IL Contributors/researchers for Bigelow Buzzard NAME EMAIL Barbara Lawrence Freyia@aol.com David Jordan davleejo@swbell.net

Crowner, Thomas  *  1 Sept 1862 Thomas, age 18, is listed in the Roster of Ohio Soldiers 1861-66 volume 8, page 264, as a Private.  He died 22 July 1863 on the road from Jackson Miss. to Vicksburg, Miss. __________ In the back of the Roster book in the Roll of Honor Thomas Crowner is listed as being buried in Vicksburg Mississippi.  At the site on the net for Vicksburg National Cemetery: Frowner, d. 20 Jul 1863, Plot: R 10376, Civil War, Co B 120th OH Inf  (SINCE THERE IS NO FROWNER IN CO. B or any other company in the 120th, I BELIEVE THIS IS CROWNER OF COMPANY H) Since, according to the age given for Thomas when he joined in 1862, there are two possible Thomas CROWNERs in the 1860 census. In the 1860 census there is an 18 year old Thomas Crowner, born OH,  living with Michael [60 VA]and Agnes [55 TN] CROWNER in Richland county OH, Worthington township.  The other children are: David [27 OH] and Michael [22 OH].

Dunlap, Nathan    19 Aug 1862 Nathan, age not given, is listed in the Roster of Ohio Soldiers 1861-66 volume 8, page 264, as a Private.  No comments are given about him.   Nathan Dunlap was born in Smithville, Wayne County OH in 1842.  His father was William Dunlap and his mother was Lydia Flickinger.  That would make his age at entering the service as age 19 or 20.  The IGI lists siblings Elizabeth, John, William...and then after Nathan came Delilah. According to Carl Frasher, Nathan's mother Lydia died in 1845 and his father, a cooper by trade, then married Delilah Fluck. So even though the Saunders County Directory says that his mother was Delila, she is probably his stepmother.  William and Lydia came to Wayne Co OH in 1840. (William had been born in Washington Co PA and married in Bedford Co PA.) 1860 census Wayne county Oh, Milton Township lists a Nathan Dunlap on page 213.  Nathan was living with his uncle John Flickinger.  He is listed as being 15 years old, born in Ohio and is a farm hand. This information from Dunlap researcher Jean Carpenter: Nathan lived with his uncle because his father abandoned the children after his first wife died in 1845.  She says that the family has no knowledge of when or where the father married the second wife Delila and they do not know where the father lived after they married.(possibly Mercer co IL) Nebraska Researcher Carl Frasher [cfrasher@impulse.net] also says that Nathan married Elizabeth BLUE in 1867 in Ashland County OH and that a relation researched the Saunders Co Newspapers of 100 years ago and found many references to Nathan, who owned the largest Hotel in Wahoo NE.  Two of Nathan's children, John William and Bert A., died without issue.

J. Baughman, 1909 Andrew J. Griner     Andrew J. Griner, who has farm holdings in Jackson township, is now residing in the village of Polk, of which he at present is acting in the executive capacity of mayor, and also previously served in that office for several terms.  He was born in Green township, Wayne county, this state, November 21, 1843, a son of Frederick and Sarah (Kintner) Griner, both of whom came from Dauphin county, Pennsylvania, with their parents in the early pioneer days and were among those who assisted in developing the natural resources of this part of the state, in which they attained to considerable prominence.  The name Griner is one which gained a wide reputation through these parts through the paternal grandfather, Philip G., who for a number of years kept a tavern at Smithville in Wayne county, the inn in those days being far different from the ordinary tavern of today by reason of the fact that they were not simply drinking places but particularly the meeting places of travelers and people throughout the community, who there entered into discussions of public questions, debating those issues upon which depend the public welfare.  The father was an agriculturist, the tract of land he cultivated having been transformed from thick woodland into fertile fields, his son assisting in the work of improvement.     At the outbreak of the Civil war Andrew J. Griner enlisted, on August 15, 1862, in Company H., One Hundred and Twentieth Ohio Volunteer Infantry, serving throughout the struggle and being honorably discharged on October 16, 1865.  His regiment witnessed much hard service in the army of the Mississippi particularly at the siege of Vicksburg, being present at the surrender.  A.

Griner participated in six battles with the regiment and for a period of thirty days in the three years was under continuous fire.  However, Mr. Griner was fortunate in that he was never taken prisoner nor seriously wounded, although, as in the case of many others, he returned from the conflict with his health greatly impaired.  Following the war he returned home and for two years assisted his father on the farm, presently removing to Fayette county, Illinois, where he engaged in farming for about one year.  In 1869 he removed to Decatur, Illinois, where for one year he became interested in the grocery business, after which for a period of four years he worked at the carpenter trade.  In the fall of 1872 returning to Wayne county, he managed his father's farm for two years, and then removed to Medina county, where for four years he followed general agricultural pursuits.  Again returning to Wayne county he settled near West Salem, where he followed farming and stock-raising for four years and in 1884 removed to Burbank, Wayne county, where for eight years he plied his craft as a carpenter.  In 1892, Mr. Griner again had recourse to farming, this time near Albion, where he remained until 1894, when he went to Polk, where he devoted his time to agriculture and carpentry until February, 1909, when he was appointed agent for the Cleveland Southwestern & Columbus Railway, the duties of which office he is now performing.     On January 23, 1863, Mr. Griner wedded Miss Margaret Sands, a daughter of John and Elizabeth (Frank) Sands, her father a prominent clergyman of the Reformed church.  Mrs. Griner entered into rest April 27, 1904.  To this union were born two children:  Grant S. and Lodell G., both of whom reside with their father.     Mr. Griner is a republican in politics, taking an active interest in the affairs of the party and frequently has been a delegate to county and district conventions.  Being a man of intelligence and highly respected for his administrative ability he was elected as chief executive of Polk in 1900 and served for two terms, covering a period of four years.  In 1906, he was again elected and is still performing the duties of that office.  He belongs to McCarty Post, No. 182, G.A.R., of which several times he has been commander, having also filled various other offices in that organization of which he at the present time is commander.  He is well known throughout Grand Army circles and on a number of occasions has been sent by his post as a delegate to state and national encampments. His religious affiliations are with the Methodist Episcopal church, to which he has belonged for many years and in which also he is an active worker.  Being a musician of considerable ability and at the same time a teacher of vocal and instrumental music he finds recreation by this means and since coming to Polk has been chorister in the Methodist Episcopal church.  Mr. Griner is one of the most enterprising and public-spirited men in the community, always ready to further all movements designed for its betterment particularly favoring good roads and schools, and in him the municipality finds one of its most honorable and excellent citizens. 1850 Census, Green Twp, Wayne County OH with Frederick, a farmer, and Sarah Griner.  Andrew Griner (age 7 born in OH);  Philip (11), Frederick (4), Israel (3 months).  Also living there were Samuel Mellinger (20), and Elizabeth Keefer (28).

Hoover, Lewis    21 Aug 1862 Lewis, age 21, is listed in the Roster of Ohio Soldiers 1861-66 volume 8, page 264, as a Private.  He was captured 25 May 1863, in action at Raymond, Miss.; exchanged Oct 1863; captured 3 May 1864 near Snaggy Point, on the Red River, LA; mustered out 6 July 1865 at Camp Chase, OH. From researcher Don Penrod about this picture: Now for the question of Lewis Hoover's being married or not?  The picture was identified by my grandfather and his sister Alice.  Since neither of them were yet born at the time of Lewis's death (11 Mar 1870) someone else would have had to identify the picture to them, I would suspect either Samuel's sister Sarah or Susan.  Uncle Cleve was raised by the Krofts (Sarah and Henry).  Alice and Walter stayed in close contact with Sarah and Henry, would suppose they were most likely to have identified the picture.  I have re-read the incident on the boiler explosion that killed Lewis.  The article mentions the wives of some of the other fellows, but says nothing about Lewis's wife or family, only that he and his brother David were the sons of Martin Hoover.  In the Hoover/Swagler Cemetery there are no unidentified Hoovers buried there.  Have no idea as to the name or what happened to the woman in the picture. For facts about Lewis' parents and siblings see his brother, Samuel HOOVER, below. Lewis was single but it leaves us wondering about the picture above. Was he single all his life or not?

Knupp, Hoover & Shook, in Milton Tp, on Friday last! Seven Men Killed Instantly! We are indebted to the politeness of J. S. Paul Esq., of Smithville, for the following facts in relation to the terrible boiler explosion in Milton Township on Friday last.  Mr. Paul went to the scene of destruction and made careful inquiry, and his account will no doubt prove to be substantially correct.  Mr. Paul says: "On last Friday afternoon, at 3 o'clock, the boiler in the saw-mill of Knupp & Co., near Shinersburg, Milton Township, exploded, killing seven men--all who were about the mill.  I visited the scene of the disaster yesterday, and gathered the following facts, which are as near correct as I could obtain them. "The mill is located about 1½ miles southwest of Shinersburg, and only a few rods from the track of the Atlantic & Great Western Railway, and was owned by Jacob Knupp, Martin Hoover and John Shook.  On the day of the accident the mill was run by Jacob Knupp, John Fritz, Lewis Hoover and his brother David.  Mr. Robert McConnell and his son Frank and David shook were at work on a house as carpenters, a few rods west of the mill.  A shower of rain coming up, they took shelter in the mill, when in less than ten minutes the explosion took place, and all were instantly killed, except David Hoover, who lingered about four hours. "Jacob Knupp was a married man, owned one third interest in the mill, and was 41 years of age;  had been married about two years, and was a very active and influential citizen of Milton Township.  John Fritz was a man in the prime of life, having but one arm, having lost the other some years ago.  He was engineer and fireman and a worthy man.  He leaves a wife and six children.  David Shook was also married, and leaves a wife and three children.  Robt. McConnell was about 45 years of age, and his son about 17.  The two Hoover boys were sons of Martin Hoover, one of the owners of the mill, and sober, industrious young men.  "The boiler and engine were placed side by side at the west end of the mill, and there is nothing but a hole in the ground to mark the spot where they were placed, both being complete wrecks;  the boiler especially being torn into small pieces, (except one piece, supposed to weigh about five hundred pounds, which was thrown across the railroad, a distance of fifteen rods.  The cylinder of the engine, or part of it, was deposited on some logs twelve rods from the mill.  The dome, weighing several hundred pounds, was landed in adjoining field two hundred yards distant.  The engine and boiler are complete wrecks, but the mill part is very little injured.  The saws are left perfect.  The supposition is that it was not running at the time the explosion occurred, as the log on the carriage was not commenced on, and it is also supposed that the water had become low in the boiler and was replenished too suddenly, which caused the explosion.  The ball which held down the safety-valve, I should judge to weigh about 20 pounds and I was informed that it was a practice with them to prop down the safety valve to raise steam.  "The men's positions when found were as follows: Lewis Hoover and Jacob Knupp were thrown about six rods east of the mill. Knupp was some bruised, but Hoover had no marks and it is supposed the concussion killed him.  John Fritz, the fireman, was thrown a distance of twenty five rods nearly north of the mill, and had nearly all of his head and arm blown off, and was otherwise mangled.  David Shook was found eight rods southwest of the mill.  Robt. McConnell was whirled across the railroad into a cornfield, some twelve rods south of the mill.  David Hoover and Frank McConnell were thrown from ten to twelve rods in a northwesterly direction.  All had their boots torn from their feet and nearly all their clothing into shreds.  Shook and Fritz were most mangled, and were buried on Saturday, and the others on Sabbath. "This terrible accident casts a deep gloom over the neighborhood and surrounding country.  All the victims were industrious and respectable citizens, and their families should have every sympathy that can be bestowed upon them."

HOOVER married Mary Ann DAUGE on 29 Aug 1867 in Wayne Co OH.] He married Catherine Steele About 1870 in Rittman.  She was born about 1846 and died in childbirth summer of 1886.  This child is not listed below.  The children of Samuel Hoover and Catherine Steele:  Catherine was visiting relatives in OH when they met. Their first child Alice was born in OH and one other child that did not live, and some time after that they moved to Centerville Iowa. 1.  Alice C.  Hoover b. 24 Dec 1872 Rittman, Ohio d. 1 Mar 1964 Barberton, Ohio.  Married C.

John Cleveland Hoover b. 19 Dec 1884 Centerville, Iowa d. 17 January 1961 Pontiac, Michigan.  Married Eleanor Elizabeth Byers. Calculated from remarks of Uncle Cleve and my Grandfather.   Uncle Cleve was about 2 1/2 years old [<1887>] when the family moved back to Wayne Co., and they talked how his father had to carry him through the deep snow drifts. Obituary:  Rittman Press  Thursday 2 June 1921 Civil War Veteran Dies   Samuel Hoover who resided in this section many years ago died in Barberton on Tuesday of last week at the home of a daughter, Mrs. C.S. Smith.  The deceased was a veteran of the Civil War and was more than 77 years of age.   Funeral services were held Friday in Rittman at the U. B. Church at 10:30 a.m. and were conducted by the pastor.  The burial was made in the Swagler cemetery.   Samuel Hoover moved from Ohio to Iowa considerably more than a quarter of a century ago.  There his wife died and about 25 years ago he returned to Ohio to make his home.  He has been living recently at the home of his daughter in Barberton.   Besides the daughter just mentioned he is survived by two sons, Walter Hoover, of Rittman and J.C. Hoover, of Detroit.   The deceased served in the Union army during the Civil War, 1861 to 1865, and later made his home in this vicinity and then at a still later period moved to the west. ----------  Samuel E. Hoover and his first wife are buried in Hoover-Swagler Cemetery, near Rittman,  Wayne County, OH (Row 2 #5)  Donovan Penrod donmol@bellsouth.net

Hunter, Lemuel  *   21 Aug 1862 Lemuel, age 18, is listed in the Roster of Ohio Soldiers 1861-66 volume 8, page 264, as a Private. Lemuel died 1 June 1863 at Milliken's Bend, LA. Enlisted at Apple Creek. The Roll of Honor in the back of the Roster book says that Lemuel Hunter was buried at Vicksburg, Mississippi. But I could not find him listed at the online listings for that cemetery.  He is probably in a grave marked "unknown". Lemuel Lemuel enlisted at Apple Creek. Pension file says his parents, Wilson and Mary A. Hunter, filed for his pension in 1889.  He was the brother of William Hunter, also of Company H, and Lemuel was listed on the 1850 census as Samuel, age 6. 1850 Census, East Union Twp, Wayne Co OH, Dwelling 194, Family 195:  William HUNTER, age 35 OH, farmer; Mary Ann, age 34 OH; David, age 10 OH; William, age 8 OH; Samuel, age 6 OH; Alexander, age 4 OH; James, age 3 OH.   1860 Census, East Union Twp, Wayne Co OH, page 25:  Wilson HUNTER, age 44 OH, farmer; Mary, age 42 OH; David, age 20 OH; William, age 19 OH; Samuel, age 17 OH; Alexander, age 15 OH; James, age 13 OH; Thomas, age 11 OH; Franklin, age 5 OH; Wilson, age 2 OH; Sarah E., age 8 OH.   Hardesty's [Wayne County version] page 492 See Sources East Union Township Lemuel Hunter left his home full of health and vigor of young manhood, and gave his life a sacrifice to his country, not 20- years of age at his death.  He enlisted at Apple Creek, in August 1862, and at Camp Mansfield, October 17th, was mustered into Company H, 120th Ohio Volunteer Infantry.  He shared the fortunes of that regiment through its first campaigning under Sherman, and took gallant part in the battles of Chickasaw Bayou and Arkansas Post.  Returning then to the regiment to the Mississippi at Youngs Point, they were sent down to Millikens Bend.  There the life the rebel bullet had spared was taken by a more insidious foe. The unhealthfulness of the locality, and the abominable water they were forced to drink, laid many a brave man low.  Lemuel Hunter was one of these victims.  He became afflicted with chronic diarrhea, was sent to the hospital, and there wasted away until his death, which occurred on the 8th of July, 1863.  Far from home and the mourning parents who had given him to the service of the country he died, and his remains were laid beneath the alien sod, on the banks of the Mississippi, in the old cemetery at Millikens Bend.  He was born in East Union township, where his father still lives [1885], a farmer, the date of his birth December 16, 1843, and Wilson and Mary A. (Salsbury) Hunter his parents.  Another son this patriot couple gave to the service, and of his fate they still remain ignorant.  He served in the same company with his brother, until on the Red River campaign he was sent on a foraging expedition from which he never returned.  Whether he fell by the hand of the lurking bushwhacker, or wasted away with sickness and died among strangers, is unknown.  His name was William Hunter. William A farming family: William Hunter, age 8, is listed in the 1850 census in East Union Twp, Wayne County OH, page 212, living with William (35) farmer, and Mary Ann (34) Hunter.

Scranton, pp 546 & 551 Eli H. Kelly, residing in section 22, Washington township, owns 150 acres of valuable farm land and is one of the survivors of the Civil War.  He was born March 12, 1839, in Stark County, Ohio, and is a son of David and Catherine (Biler) Kelly, who were the parents of eight children.     The parents of Eli Kelly moved to Knox county, Ohio, in his infancy where they lived for five years, then lived in Allen county for two years, after which they resided for 11 months in Adams County, Indiana.  They finally located in Liberty Township, Mercer County, in 1851, and it was here that our subject was reared.  His father bought a farm of 80 acres which Eli assisted in clearing and cultivating.  By attending school during the winter he secured an education and after leaving school he taught for three years; also one year after his marriage.  In October, 1882 [should be 1862], he enlisted in the 120th Regiment, Ohio Vol. Inf., and served for 13 months.  He had enlisted for three years but was severely wounded in the battle of Thompson's Hill, May 1, 1863, which prevented any further military service.  He participated in the battles of Chickasaw Bluff and Arkansas Post, in the Army of the Mississippi under General Sherman.  His regiment then went under the command of General Grant, going to Vicksburg, Mississippi, where it did hard labor building a canal, then ran the blockade at Vicksburg, on the Grand Gulf and marched all night to Thompson's Hill, going into battle the next morning without anything to eat.  About 11 o'clock that morning Mr. Kelly was severely wounded in the left hand by a musket ball, which tore part of it away.  He was then sent to the field hospital where he underwent an operation, being later removed to a hospital near Grand Gulf, where rations were cut off and Mr. Kelly had nothing to eat for four days.  He was later moved to a camp near Vicksburg, where he took fever and was moved from camp to camp until June 1st, when he was sent to St. Louis where he lay in the hospital for three months.  After leaving the hospital, he obtained quarters in St. Louis, and after examination was assigned to the Invalid Corps, but was rejected.  He then underwent a medical examination and was finally discharged after 13 months of most trying experiences.     Mr. Kelly then returned to his home in Washington township, whither his wife had moved in the meantime, and where she owned a farm of 40 acres, which is now the residence property of Mr. Kelly and his family.  He was ill for a long time after returning from the war, but upon his recovery engaged in farming.  He bought 40 acres of land in Liberty township in 1865, which he later sold and bought 80 acres in section 12, Washington township; he has also 20 acres in section 24.  He has cleared the greater part of this land and has left about 30 acres of timber.     Mr. Kelly was married in 1861 to Cynthia Kannard, a daughter of George Kannard, and they have had seven children, namely:  John, who was educated at the Western Ohio Normal School, at Middlepoint, later taught school three years and is now interested in a stone quarry at Middlepoint -- he has a family of five children; George Albert, who is married and resides on his 40-acre farm in Recovery township;  Rusha, who married Robert McQueen and lives on her father's farm in section 12, Washington township; Viola, who married Michael Konrath and at her death left one child, which lived only a week; William;  Etta, who married Jacob Clouse, lives in Kansas and has three children; and Estella, who lives at home.  Mr. Kelly is a member of the Grand Army of the Republic and belongs to Washington Grange, P.of H.   [date of the book:  1907] Page 268 of this same book states that E.H.

S. Scranton, pp. 279 - 280: Abraham W. Larue, a well-known and prominent farmer of Washington Township, residing on the homestead in section 5, who with his brother, Isaac Martin Larue, owns 400 acres of land in one body, was born in Butler County, Ohio, July 5, 1849, and is a son of Uriah and Lydia (Neff) Larue.    Uriah Larue and his wife were both born in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, where they were reared.  They were married in Philadelphia and moved to Butler County, Ohio, where they resided for about five years, in 1854 moving to Mercer County, where Mr. Larue bought a 320-acre timber tract.  They first moved into a log house.  This primitive log structure was destroyed by fire after but a few weeks of occupancy.  It was then in the dead of winter.  They then erected and moved into another log house about one mile east, in the midst of the forest, first having to cut a road to the clearing where the house was built.  Their present fine large home stands near where their first cabin, which was of round logs, was built by them and their neighbors after the fire and before their new hewn-log house was completed.  Mr. and Mrs. Larue were the parents of eight children, Namely:  Abraham W., the subject of this sketch; Elizabeth E., deceased at the age of 18 years; Leah Ann, deceased at the age of 19 years; Uriah B., who died after reaching manhood; Isaac Martin, who is part owner of the home farm; John V., who died in young manhood, while attending school at Valparaiso, Indiana; David F. living half a mile south of the homestead, who has two children living - Nellie and Leslie - and one deceased in infancy - Orrville; and Lydia A., who died aged 10 years.  Mr. Larue was a soldier in the Civil War, enlisting in 1862 and served three years.  He died in 1884.  His widow is still residing on the home place.[1907]     Abraham W. Larue was reared on his father's farm and spent the most of his boyhood days in assisting his father clear the land.  In young manhood he taught school in the winter seasons for a number of years.  He has never married but has lived all his life on the home farm.  Both he and his brother Isaac are members of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows and of the Patrons of Husbandry.     Isaac Martin Larue took for his wife Mary Weaver, who was born in Darke County, Ohio, and is a daughter of George and Joan (Slack) Weaver.  They have two children:  Kathleen and Mildred. __________ The same book as above shows on page 267 in a list of the men of Mercer County in the Civil War that U. LaRue was in Company E of the 48th Reg.  This shows that the man who lived in Mercer County was the soldier of  Company H, 120th OVI.

Stutzman, Ezra* 13 Aug 1862 Ezra, age 23,  is listed in the Roster of Ohio Soldiers 1861-66 volume 8, page 265 as a Private  He died 6 Jan 1863 at Memphis TN.  In the Wooster Republican, published 29 Jan 1863, Ezra Stutzman of the 120th was listed as discharged from Foundry Hospital in Memphis TN. Ezra was from Green Twp. when he entered the war. A farming family: Ezra Stutzman, age 11, is listed in the 1850 Census for Green Township, Wayne County OH living with Henry Stutzman from PA.  There seems to be no mother  listed.  His siblings were Jeremiah (21), Susanna (19), Daniel (17), Elizabeth (15), Christian (13), Aaron (9), Anne (6), Henry (4).  And living with them was Christena Whisler (35).  All but Henry, the head of household, were born in OH. Amish Genealogy book: This book verifies that Ezra STUTZMAN who died single in the Civil War was the son of Henry STUTZMAN and Catherine MILLER.  Ezra was born 21 Mar 1839 in Wayne County OH.  It lists his death date as 5 Jan 1863.  His mother died in 1846 so that is why she is missing from the 1850 census above.  His siblings listed in the book are the same as the ones listed in that census. The Roll of Honor in the back of the Roster Book states that Ezra Stutzman is buried at Mississippi River Cemetery in Memphis TN.

Taylor, James B  15 Aug 1862 James, age 22, is listed in the Roster of Ohio Soldiers 1861-66 volume 8, page 263 as a Captain. He was promoted to 1st Liutenant from 2nd Lieutenant 18 Feb 1863; to Capt 23 Mar 1863. He was mustered out 27 Nov 1864 when the 120th consolidatd with the 114th OVI. There are no discharge papers in Wayne County for James Taylor. In the History of the Lawyers of Wayne County, Ohio, in 1900, Ben Douglas said of James B. as a newborn baby, he was "a speechless, disinterested, semi-concious entity in  swaddling clothes."   Well, he certainly came a long way after that day. James B. TAYLOR was born in Fredericksburg, Wayne county, OH 24 Aug 1840. His father was James Taylor, a native of Virginia. James, a farmer and lawyer,  died in 1873 at age 72. His mother was Elizabeth CURTIS Taylor. She was also a native of  VA and a Quaker. She died in 1878. They came together to Wayne County in 1825. They had nine children. James was the youngest. The children listed in the 1850 census were John, Margaret, Benton, Bruce, and James. Bruce was also a veteran of the Civil War, serving in Company E, 169th OVI. James B. went to college in PA, graduating from Westminster College in June 1861. He then organized and opened the Smithville Academy. [See Smithville Community Historical Society]  He changed his plans when he joined the military to fight in the Civil War.  After the war, he studied medicine and then law and ended up with the law as his profession. He was a lawyer for 58 years, practicing part of the time in Orrville and then moving to Wooster. He was a member of the Presbyterian Church in Wooster, a mason and a member of the GAR. His first wife and the mother of his children was Emilie EMMITT (EMMETT). She was a native of PA and the daughter of John Emmett. She was principal of the schools at Fredericksburg at the time of their marriage. She died 25 Sept 1905. Her grandfather had laid out Emmetsburg PA. In memory of her in 1906 he donated his house on North Market Street to be the city's hospital. James B. and Emilie had six children. But three of them must have died fairly young. The only names in the articles were: Rob C. Taylor, who had two children Emilie and James; Harry E. Taylor; and Josephine, who was married to Rev. Fred J. Slagle. James B. died at age 85 in 1925...he died in Wooster at the Hospital which he had donated to the city. His widow was his second wife, Margaret Jane FIKE Taylor. They are buried at Wooster Cemetery.

Taylor, Thomas B.     10 Oct 1862 Thomas, age 27, is listed in the Roster of Ohio Soldiers 1861-66 volume 8, page 265, as a Private.  He was discharged on 4 July 1863 on a Surgeon's certificate of disability. ??1860 Census, Prairie, Holmes County, OH, page 377:  Thos B TAYLOR, age 26 OH, blacksmith; Elizabeth, age 27 OH; Mary A MISMORE?, age 6 OH.   ??1870 Census, Salt Creek, Wayne County, OH, page 319: Thomas TAYLOR, age 35 OH, blacksmith; Elizabeth, age 37 OH; Emma E LOUST, age 8 OH.   Thomas died Aug 1886.  Burial at Union Cemetery, Dalton, Sugar Creek Twp, Wayne Co OH. 1890 Special Soldiers Schedule:  Sugar Creek, Wayne County, OH: Sarah M, widow of Thomas B TAYLOR, private, Co H 120th Ohio.  Post Office Dalton.  He died Aug 1886.   Pension Index:  Thomas B TAYLOR, H 120th OH Inf.   Widow's pension....Ohio.....Sarah M TAYLOR........can't read date.

Troyer, Elias  *  22 Aug 1862 Elias, age 26, is listed in the Roster of Ohio Soldiers 1861-66 volume 8, page 265, as a Private.  Elias died 22 July 1863 on the road from Jackson Miss. to Vicksburg, Miss. In searching for Elias TROYER, I checked the Amish genealogy book in my sources above.  In the many Troyer families listed, only one Elias Troyer fit.  But the information was very questionable according to the book, having many question marks beside the names.  This Elias Troyer was born about 1835 in Holmes County OH to Jacob TROYER and  Veronica/Fanny YODER.  No death date was given and no marriage.  So with no pension record and no good Amish record, this one may be difficult to identify with certainty. The Roll of Honor in the back of the Roster book states that Elias Troyer was buried at Vicksburg Mississippi.

Vanasdal, Emanuel M. *   25 Aug 1862 Emanuel, age 18, is listed in the Roster of Ohio Soldiers 1861-66 volume 8, page 265, as a Private.  Emanuel died 1 Mar 1863 at Young's Point LA. The Roll of Honor in the back of the Roster book states that Emanuel Vanasdal is buried at Vicksburg, Mississippi.

This family is missing from the 1850 census book [haven't found it yet], but they were living in Milton Twp Wayne Co OH at the time that Ferdinand's and Jacob's father Francis Vienes (Vienez) died.  His will [Francis Vienez] is dated 2 May 1850 and was probated 2 Sep 1850.  (On microfilm V-4 will book 3, page 370).  The will says he was living in Milton Township.  It does not mention a wife for Francis, so she must have died previously.  The oldest daughter Melanie is mentioned separately as she is to have some certain items of the estate.  The others are to receive equal shares.  The will has Jacob listed as Jacque [The probate records book lists it as Jacob in the guardianship record.] Guardianship information taken from a book on wills/estates/guardianships Wayne Co OH: 1852 Francis Vienes [deceased] Probate case #208:   J1-206  J5-205 Children:  Francis born 13 Aug 1836 Peter born 28 Sep 1839 Adele born 17 Ap 1841 Jacob born 11 Dec 1842 Joseph born 21 Sep 1844 Ferdinand born 17 Nov 1845 Mary S. born 13 May 1847 Eugene born 5 Mar 1849 The guardian was Sam Swartz The Roll of Honor in the back of the Roster book states that Ferdinand Vieny was buried at Vicksburg, Mississippi.

For the family of Jacob, see Ferdinand Vieny above. Jacob was of Milton Township.  See newspaper article on history page. There is a Jacob Veney listed in the 1860 census for Wayne county OH on page 229 in Canaan Township.  He was age 17, living with Henry and Margaret Swartz.  He is listed as a farm laborer and was born in France.

Witmer, Henry  * [WITWER]   7 Oct 1862 Henry, age 18, is listed in the Roster of Ohio Soldiers 1861-66 volume 8, page 266, as a Private. He was discharged on 24 July 1863 on a Surgeon's certificate of disability.    Henry Witwer (spelled Witmer in the Roster), Company H,  has a stone in Paradise Cemetery, Wayne County OH.  He died  25 July 1863.  The stone says that he was the son of M and M Witwer.  Buried right behind Henry are Magdalena[Winger] and Michael Witwer. 1850 Census, Baughman Twp, Wayne County, OH, page 158:  Michael WITWER, age 37 PA, PA, farmer; Magdalen, age 36 PA; Amos, age 10 OH; Maria, age 8 OH; Susan, age 6 OH; Henry, age 4 OH; Nancy, age 2 OH; Elam, age 1 OH.   This Witwer family is listed in the IGI.  Henry was born 28 Sep 1845 in Wayne County OH to Michael Witwer and Magdalena Winger who were married in 1840 near Orrville.  Henry's siblings were Amos (1841), Maria (1842),  Susan (1844), Nancy (1847), Elam (1849), Mattie (1852). Sister Susan married Henry Hartman of Company D 120th OVI.  Henry Hartman's biography verifies that Henry Witwer's parents were Michael and Magdalena (Winger) Witwer.  It also states that Henry Witwer died at the hospital at Benton Barracks, St. Louis, Missouri on the date stated above.  For this reason, I don't know if his body was returned home for burial or not.  The Roster says he was discharged on 24 July.  Apparently he died the day after his discharge and did not make it home. Pension Index:  Henry WITWER, H 120th OH Inf.   Father, Michael WITWER, filed 1892 Sep? 3 in OH.
