Supplementary Draft-In November, 1864, a supplementary draft was made to complete the deficit. Forty-two men were required and eighty-four were drawn. Speaking editorially of the draft, the Jour- nal states that it worked badly; "Numberless provost marshals, clerks and detectives, were kept busy day and night, at large salaries, to ferret out runaways and deserters and trouble was everywhere. Out of 500,000 called for, only 240,000 were raised." This editorial is called out by the issue of a new call for 300,000 men and the possibility of another draft. A war meeting was held at Elkader, December 28, to correct the enrollment list and devise means of filling the quota of the township. The meeting asked the supervisors to offer a county bounty. The supervisors acted favorably on this request and, in Jan- uary, 1865, offered a bounty of $400 for volunteers. The vote of the board was a tie, P. G. Baily, the chairman, casting the deciding vote. As a result of this Boardman, Farmersburg and Cox Creek townships were soon out of the draft, Cox Creek being away ahead. Jefferson township men conducted a draft of their own; they sent to Dubuque for a corrected enrollment and proceeded to draft in their township. Those drawn could take the $400 bounty and go, or furnish a man. Boardman township gave an additional bounty of $200 for each volun- teer. Later, in January, 1865, came the joyful tidings that no draft would be necessary.

During the year it was reported by the Elkader Soldiers' Aid Society that $69.75 had been contributed in cash or goods.
Victory Is Heard-As the year 1865 progressed it became more and more apparent that the confederacy was on the wane and each day brought news of Federal victories. In March, the capture of Charles- ton was reported and later came the news of Sheridan's victory, all of which led up to the "most glorious news! Richmond ours! The day of reckoning has come !" On April 12, the news was printed, "Lee and his whole army surrender, GLORY! GLORY!" The Elkader paper says, "The taking of Richmond was appropriately celebrated in this place last week. David Livingood fired guns in honor of the event. Joseph Ross had his flag flying to the breeze, and a general jubilee was had over the event."
Death of Lincoln-And then, as a thunderbolt from a clear sky, came the news of the death of Lincoln, the most terrible tragedy ever recorded in the history of the world. Governor Stone appointed April 27, as a day of humiliation and prayer, and it is not to be won- dered at that, with grief, there was mingled a bitter resentment against the northern traitors who had hounded the martyred president during every step of that perilous journey by which he led his country through the pathway of war to a glorious peace. The day of mourn- ing was generally observed throughout Clayton county. Services were held in all the churches, business was suspended and the busy farmers left their fields to bow their heads in honor of the beloved Lincoln. At Elkader there was a solemn parade to the church on the east side of the river and HI. B. Carter presided at the meeting, Rev. J. R. Cameron led in prayer, B. T. Hunt delivered an eloquent address, Rev. Cameron spoke and the meeting closed with a benediction by Rev. H. Gifford. Captain Tipton was the marshal of the day and the guards fired a salute as they marched across the bridge.
Homecoming-The last chapter of the war history of Clayton county is written when the boys come home. Not all of them-nearly 200 were buried on southern battle fields, and to many a home the return of the soldiers gave but added poignancy to grief, as a fresh reminder of the vacant chair. Nevertheless, the homecoming was a time of joy and pride, and in every part of the county the veterans were greeted with honor and with cheers. Unfortunately the record of but one of these receptions has been preserved and that tells of the return of Capt. Boardman's company. The Journal tells the story in the following words : "On Wednesday morning, the news reached here that Boardman's company of the Twenty-first and Company E of the Ninth Regiment, had arrived at McGregor, and would be at Elkader that day. The friends of the brave boys in this place set to work at once to give them a hearty reception. A dinner was proposed for them. The Stars and Stripes were raised on liberty pole ; three or four teams-one of four horse-with fife and drum and banner flying, started out to meet them; but the boys did not come. It was only late in the night that they cheered our citizens with their presence. How- ever, August 18 was set aside as the day when they should return the flag which they had carried through three years of war. That day was a big holiday in Elkader. The town was crowded with people from

various parts of the county, but mostly from the southwestern part. It was a grand rallying day of the soldiers who had gone to the war from this and adjoining towns. The flag floated high in the breeze over the town, welcoming the brave boys who had fought so nobly under the Stars and Stripes. Three years ago on that day, Company D, of the Twenty-first Iowa Infantry Volunteers was presented with a flag by the ladies at Elkader, which the company then promised to return to them on the close of the war. This anniversary was therefore agreed upon by the company as the day when the flag should be returned to the ladies, and they took this opportunity of getting them up a splendid dinner, and in fact, such a festival as was due to these brave defenders of our country. All the returned soldiers of other companies who enlisted from this township were invited and most of them accepted the invitation. A procession was formed in front of the Stone Hall and marched to the square in front of James Partch's residence where, three years previously, the flag had been presented to Company D. A. C. Rogers was president of the day ; B. T. Hunt, in behalf of the company, returned the flag which had been through eight battles, and had come forth in glory and victory. Miss Mattie Mahoney, in behalf of the ladies, in a beautiful address, responded. This was followed by the popular air, "John Brown," led by the choir. The soldiers and citi- zens marched back to the hall, where a general social was indulged in. Old friends there met again and rehearsed, in brief, their history dur- ing the eventful three years just passed. It was a treat of itself to see these brave boys take each other by the hand, and old friends gather around and welcome them with a cordiality that must have done them good. There was a dinner at which two long tables were covered with the best the county could afford. Then there were toasts; to Company D; to the soldiers of Clayton county ; to the Union-one and insepar- able; to the ladies, without whom the rebellion could not have been crushed ; to Washington and Lincoln ; to our children ; to the president of the United States and to our starved and fallen soldiers-may the tramp of angelic hosts waken them to new life and glory."

T HE Third Infantry was the first of the Clayton county volun- teers to be mústered into the service. It was sworn into the service at Keokuk in June, 1861. Nathan G. Williams was the colonel and the regiment was first used in the campaign to retain Missouri as a Union state. Its first battle was fought Sept. 17, 1861, at Blue Mills Landing and its behavior in the first engagement was very creditable. The company remained in Missouri guarding the North Missouri Railroad until 1862. March 17 of that year, it was made a part of General Grant's army in Tennessee, being assigned to the division commanded by General Hurlbut. It took part in the battle of Shiloh and was instrumental in preventing defeat on the first day, and aided in gaining the victory on the second day of battle. It was active in the campaign about Corinth and gave a good account of itself in the battle of Hatchie. It was with Grant at Vicksburg, in May and June, 1863, fought bravely and had many casualties and par- ticipated in the campaign against Johnson. It was in camp several months at Natchez, Mississippi, and here, more than 200 of the regi- ment reenlisted, as veteran volunteers, for three years. The remainder of the regiment was engaged in the campaign along the Red River in Arkansas. The veteran volunteers were with Sherman at Atlanta and their numbers were so depleted by stubborn fighting, that the remnant of the regiment was consolidated with the Second Iowa Infantry. William M. Stone, the first major in this regiment was afterwards Governor of Iowa. The names of the Clayton county members of this regiment were as follows :
Third Infantry-Sergeant Major, William M. Morris. Company C-Captain, Sidney B. Sladden; First Lieutenant, Douglas Leffing- will; Second Lieutenant, James Call; Sergeants, John Schroeder, Wm. Hooper, Johen K. Saunders, David B. Moe, William Gibby ; Corporals, James C.

The Ninth Infantry-This regiment was organized by Hon. William Vandever, member of Congress from this district. Two com- panies of this regiment were organized in this county, one under Capt. Alvah Bevins and one under Elisha A. Crary. It was one of the first regiments to enlist and was mustered into the service September 25, 1861. It was in barracks at Benton, Missouri, for several months and then became a part of the army of the southwest, under Gen. S. R. Curtis. The regiment encamped at Rolla, Missouri, and at this place a number of Clayton county volunteers died from disease or exposure. Gen. Curtis was successful in driving Price, the confederate general, out of Missouri and into Arkansas. Col. Vandever was at this time in command of a brigade of which the Ninth Regiment was a part. A two days' battle was fought at Pea Ridge and the Ninth Regiment played an important part in winning the final victory. The Fourth and Ninth Iowa were given special mention by Gen. Curtis in the official report of the battle. In the first day of this fight the Ninth lost nearly one-fourth of its force and it had not a single field officer fit for duty. Capt. Bevins was among those killed at this battle.
Following the battle at Pea Ridge the regiment encamped at Helena, Arkansas, where it remained for five months. So gallant was the con- duct of this regiment, and such its fame, that the ladies of Boston pre- sented it with a stand of beautiful silk colors. These were presented to the regiment by Miss Phoebe Adams and, after carrying them vic- toriously on many a battle field, one of the flags was returned to the donors and the other presented to William Vandever, who had then risen to the rank of Brevet Major-General.
Leaving Helena the regiment was attached to Thayer's brigade of Steele's division, under Sherman and joined in the operations against

Vicksburg. It was engaged in a number of the minor engagements leading to the capture of Vicksburg and encamped at Young's Point, Louisiana, just across the river from Vicksburg. The regiment lost heavily by sickness and disease at this camp which was swampy and badly located. Colonel Vandever having been promoted a brigadier general, Captain David Carscaddon succeeded him. In April, 1863, the regiment was with Steele in his expedition into central Mississippi to prevent the relief of Vicksburg. It then took part in the assault upon Vicksburg; its total loss in killed and wounded in this campaign being 121. Following the fall of Vicksburg, the regiment rested until September, when it was sent to Tennessee, where, under General Hooker, it took part in the battle of Lookout Mountain. In 1864 nearly 300 of this regiment re-enlisted and it became a veteran regiment and in May it was sent to the south and marched with Sherman "from Atlanta to the sea," taking part in all the famous battles of that cam- paign in Georgia and marching with the great commander through the Carolinas and taking part in the grand review at Washington. It was mustered out at Louisville, Kentucky, July 18, 1865, and it was disbanded at Clinton, Iowa. This regiment took part in twenty-five battles, traversed every state of the Confederacy, except Florida and Texas; marched 4000 miles and traveled 6000 miles by rail or water.

second sergeant to second lieutenant and captain ; John H. Garretson, private to second corporal and first lieutenant; Josiah L. Wragg, private to fifth corporal and second lieutenant.
Twelfth Infantry-Clayton county contributed about forty men to this regiment which was one of the longest in service during the war. It was mustered in at Dubuque in the fall of 1861 and proceeded to Benton barracks where it remained until the spring of 1862. In February it was a part of General Grant's command at Fort Donel- son. It played a conspicuous part in the battle of Shiloh and was one of the regiments which protected the army from complete annihila- tion. On the memorable first day of that battle, they sacrificed them- selves with great heroism, holding the Confederates at bay until the arrival of Buell. At the close of the day's fighting they were com- pelled to surrender and were held for eight months as prisoners of war. That portion of the regiment, about 150 men, not in the battle of Shiloh, served during this time in what was known as the Union Brigade. The men of this regiment were exchanged, in April, 1863, and the regiment was at once reorganized. It took part in the Vicks- burg campaign and in January, 1864, it was mustered in as a veteran regiment, a larger proportion re-enlisting than from any other regiment from the state. It was engaged in the campaign in Mississippi, fighting in the battle of Tupelo. It then took part in the Arkansas campaign and was in the campaign against Price in Missouri. Later it took par. in the operations against Mobile and was not mustered out of service until the spring of 1866.

Markham. In Company C was Sergeant George W. Cook, afterward captain; Company D, Private James D. Brown ; Company G, Privates Jeremiah Maloney and Aminon Oleson.
Twenty-first Infanty-The most distinctively Clayton county regiment of the war was the Twenty-first Infantry. Samuel Merrill, of McGregor, was the colonel of this regiment and aided largely in its enlistment. Companies B, D and G, Captains William D. Crooke, Elisha Boardman and W. A. Benton, were almost entirely made up of men from this county. All of this regiment came from northeastern Iowa. It was organized at Dubuque in August, 1862, and went into camp at Rolla, Missouri, in September. There was much delay in securing proper equipment and it was not until 1863 that it saw its first battle. This was at Hartville where, under Colonel Merrill, it was engaged against five times its number, under Generals Marmaduke and

McDonald. This was a drawn battle, the Union force being obliged to retire when its ammunition was exhausted. For its gallantry this regi- ment was highly commended by General Warren. It was in this cam- paign that Colonel Merrill was wounded at the battle of Black River Bridge. He returned to McGregor where he remained a few months when, upon recovery from his wounds, he returned to his regiment. The Twenty-first did hard work in southwest Missouri and fought its way across Arkansas into Louisiana and Mississippi. It received honorable mention for its conduct at the battle of Fort Gibson and then took its place with Grant's army before Vicksburg. It was with John- son in the campaign following the fall of Vicksburg and was then transferred to Texas where it remained for six months. It was con- spicuous for its bravery in the operations leading to the capture of Mobile and was not mustered out until 1866.
