This lodge flourished with the town of Newton until the breaking out of the Civil war, but in 1862 it was found impossible to sustain it on account of the large numbers who had gone into the service of their country under President Lincoln's call for troops. The charter had to be surrendered, but about the close of that terrible conflict it was petitioned for at the grand lodge to have the original charter returned. and the prayer was answered, as they were entitled by their patriotism to this complimentary token of good will from the head of the order.

CHAPTER XIV.
MILITARY HISTORY OF THE COUNTY.
The people of Iowa have ever been justly proud of the state's military record made during the great Civil war, fought from. 1861 to 1866. That her pioneers were made of the right material. in a patriotic sense, one is con- vinced by a glance at the lately published military volumes of Iowa, which valuable documents disclose the fact that out of about one hundred and fifty thousand men subject to military duty within her borders in- 1861, fully eighty thousand inen went to the seat of war in the Southland. Many never returned to home and friends, but were buried where they fell. by disease or bullet. their graves now being marked, if at all, by the sad. but significant word "unknown." Verily these died that our glorious Union might be pre- served. By their life-blood the Nation was saved!
At first seventy-five thousand men were called for by the following proclamation by President Lincoln, the document being dated Monday, April 15. 1861, and read as follows:
"Whereas, the laws of the United States have for some time past, and are now, opposed, and the execution thereof obstructed, in the states of South Carolina, Alabama, Florida, Mississippi, Louisiana and Texas, by com- binations too powerful to be suppressed by the ordinary course of judicial proceedings, or by the powers vested in the marshals ; now therefore. I, Abra- ham Lincoln, President of the United States, by virtue of the power in me vested by the Constitution and the laws, have thought to call forth, and hereby do call forth, the militia of the several states of the Union, to the number of seventy-five thousand, in order to suppress said combinations, and to cause the laws to be duly executed.
"The details for this subject will be immediately communicated to the state authorities through the war department. I appeal to all loval citizens to favor. facilitate and to aid this effort to maintain the honor, the integrity. and existence of our national union, and the perpetuity of popular govern- ment, and to redress wrongs already long endured. I deem it proper to say that the first services assigned to the forces hereby called forth will probably be to repossess the forts, places and property which have been seized from the U'nion; and in every event the utmost care will be observed. consistently

with the object aforesaid, to avoid any devastation, any destruction of, or interference with property, or any disturbance of peaceful citizens in any part of the country ; and I hereby command the persons composing the com- binations aforesaid. to disperse and retire peaceably to their respective abodes, within twenty days from this date.
"Deeming that the present condition of public affairs presents an extra- ordinary occasion, I do hereby, in virtue of the power in me vested by the Constitution, convene both houses of Congress. The senators and represent- atives are therefore summoned to assemble at their respective chambers at twelve o'clock noon. on Thursday, the fourth day of July next, then and there to consider and determine such measures as in their wisdom the public safety and interest may seem to demand.
"In witness whereof. I have hereunto set my hand and caused the seal of the United States to be affixed.
"Done at the city of Washington, the fifteenth day of April, in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and sixty-one, and of the independ- ence of the United States the eighty-fifth.
"ABRAHAM LINCOLN.
"By the President.
"WV. H. SEWARD, Secretary of State."
The last words of this proclamation had scarcely fallen from the wires before the call was filled. Men came from farm and shop, from the East and the West, from mountain and glen-men of all professions and all politi- cal shades of difference for the time being forgot all but the one thing of preserving the union of states and the rights of the people under the Con- stitution and the flag that had so long and proudly waved over a united people.
But seventy-five thousand men were not sufficient to crush out the re- bellion. Call after call was made and filled by the best volunteers the world has ever seen draw a sword or take aim with a musket. The inscription written in 1859 by Hon. Enoch Eastman, of Eldora, for the block of stone designed for the Washington monument, at the national capital, read. "Towa -her affections, like the rivers of her borders, flow to an inseparable Un- ion." When the great civil conflict came on, these words seemed almost prophetic in their character, when one reflects upon the unison of action in most every part of the commonwealth with which troops were mustered into service that the union of states might be preserved.
Upon the receipt of the news that the assassination of the newly- elected President had been attempted while en route to Washington to take
206
JASPER COUNTY, IOWA.
his seat, a military company was hastily organized at the old court house at Newton, with thirty-five members. The officers chosen were: J. A. Gar- rett. captain : J. W. Wilson, first lieutenant ; J. S. Hunter, second lieutenant ; J. L. Matthews, Henry Kissell. Samuel Failor, Jesse Kennedy, Jr., sergeants ; D. McCord, Jr., Samuel Osborne, M. Ramsay. J. M. Rogers, corporals. Captain Garrett had seen service in the Mexican war.
Application was immediately made to the governor of Iowa for arms, but the answer returned was that the quota was exhausted, and that there was little prospect of more being obtained for some time to come. On this account, the filling up of the company's ranks proceeded slowly for several weeks, when the organization was abandoned.
VOLUNTEERING.
April 22, 1861, in response to the President calling for troops, a rousing meeting was held at the court house in Newton, and the nucleus of a com- pany for actual service was formed. The Free Press says that intense ex- citement pervaded the meeting, "and when the national flag was brought into the densely crowded room, to the stirring music of glorious 'Yankee Doodle,' such excited enthusiasm was there as only comes when slumbering patriotism is kindled from off God's altar." W. H. Silsby presided. Stir- ring and patriotic speeches were made by Dr. Robinson, of Grinnell, H. J. Skiff. S. G. Smith, H. S. Winslow, Judge Kellogg, Rev. C. Shaffer, Rev. John Steel and Captain Chapman. The following citizens then signed the roll : S. H. Chapman, J. G. Jones, J. R. Rodgers, Thomas R. Keisler, John Shellady, D. W. Lester, Robert Bain, W. E. Huling, John S. Cottle, Allen Alloway. Thomas Poor, Martin Ramsey, Simeon Kennedy, J. W. Preston, William Robinson, J. C. Dixon, William Hunter, D. W. Critzer, J. S. Adam- son, S. R. Bicknell, B. Aydellotte, John Cockley, William Foutts, Francis Job, James P. Banks.
