Another meeting was held on the 26th of the same month, at which time the roll of the company was nearly completed. May 2d the list was published, and its composition may be seen in this chapter elsewhere.
In Monroe a great mass meeting was held on April 24, 1861. presided over by R. Elwood; S. A. Holt, secretary. Ten men volunteered. On the 29th, at an adjourned meeting, thirteen more enrolled their names and the meeting pledged itself to furnish as many more if necessary-and certainly they kept their word.

In Poweshiek a meeting was held on April 26. 1861, presided over by patriotic men. AAnother was held three days later. Eleven men joined Cap- tain Chapman's company, and the meeting passed the following resolutions : "I. That immediate steps be taken to thoroughly organize Poweshiek into a military organization.
"2. That there be a committee of twelve appointed to act as regula- tors, for various purposes, not necessary to mention.
"3. That all persons not willing to vindicate and defend the Union and the Constitution, shall be brought before the committee and be dealt with as traitors.
"4. That our meetings open and close by invoking the divine aid and blessing upon our patriotic and glorious undertaking."
JASPER COUNTY FULLY AROUSED.
Saturday, May 4. 1861, was a big day in Jasper county. On that day was held a great mass-meeting at Newton, at which time measures were taken to fully perfect a complete military organization of the whole county, in which Poweshiek a few days before had led off by enrolling a home guard of fifty men. Captain Chapman was marshal of the day, assisted by Colonel Shellady and William H. Silsby. J. W. Murphy presided at the meeting and A. K. Campbell was secretary. The exercises consisted of speeches by J. R. Mershon and Rev. C. Shafer, music and the business for which the assemblage had met.
It was in the minds of the people in this and other southern lowa coun- ties that an invasion would soon take place by the guerrillas from Missouri.
Mrs. T. G. Springer, then of Malaka township, wrote a beautiful poem on the going out of these. Jasper county's first soldiers. One stanza should never be lost among the rare gems of poetry written by an obscure lady at the beginning of the Civil war. It runs thus :
"But would we call them back to us? No! by those Stripes and Stars, That floated o'er our fathers through their long and bloody wars. We will cheer them on to battle where their glorious banner waves, And they'll proudly die beneath it, rather than live as slaves ; And they will be victorious-the strength of courage born Will bear aloft their gallant flag, though blood-stained and torn ; And the proud defiant chieftain, from the land of bloom and song, Will learn in blood this lesson-'the peaceful are the strong.'"

JASPER COUNTY, IOWA.
The original "Jasper Grays" could not be recognized by Governor Sam- uel J. Kirkwood, until in July, 1861, when they finally received marching orders. They attended the Congregational church in a body in the morning, Rev. D. E. Jones preaching the sermon. At evening they attended the Methodist Episcopal church and listened to Rev. A. H. Shafer. The next evening, while assembled at a sociable at the Congregational church, a ma- jority of the men took a pledge list, which included these items :
"We, the undersigned United States volunteers, remembering the teach- ings of our fathers and mothers and the sentiments of the community from whence we go, will abstain entirely from the use of ardent spirits, except for medicinal purposes ; to not use profane language and improper language ; to keep holy the Sabbath day; to read the Scriptures and- have prayer in our midst, and hope to be brave in the hour of conflict, kind and compassionate in the hour of victory, especially to women and children."
On Tuesday. the same week, the soldiers were presented with a flag, the presentation being made by Col. Thomas Miller, on behalf of the "New- ton Hawkeyes." Then came the parting time -- that saddest of all times on earth, when loved ones and dear friends part with but a faint hope of again meeting. Many of the citizens accompanied the troops on their way, as far as they thought best. The route taken was via Monroe, Pella, Oskaloosa and Edenville to Burlington, the place of rendezvous. A kettle-drum was car- ried by the boys, loaned them by Mr. Bain. The same had been carried by a Continental drummer in the Revolutionary war.
Recruiting for two more companies at once commenced ere the sound of the first company had been lost to the ears of the patriots at home. One was raised at Monroe and another at Newton. A company was also raised in August, 1861, commanded by gallant Captain Garrett.
OFFICIAL ACTION IN JASPER COUNTY.
The reader may be interested to know something concerning the official action of the board of county supervisors. the people's representatives, during that never-to-be-forgotten struggle. The records show that at a special meeting held early in July, 1861, the following resolution was adopted by the board :
"Resolved, That each member of the board of supervisors be authorized to look after the families of the soldiers that have gone or may go to war from their respective townships, and furnish them with such necessaries of life as they may need. And the orders of said supervisors, respectively, on the
209

county treasurer to pay for said necessaries shall be drawn by the clerk of the board of supervisors, upon presentation, accompanied with the name of the person's family to be relieved thereby, and duly signed by said member of the board of supervisors, each member to report his doings to the board."
This was the only action necessary, and for the next seven years, until the claims and demands of soldiers' families had come to an end, there was never a hint by any member of the board that too much was being expended to care for the "war widows" and the families of soldiers in the field. When money was needed, it was dealt out in a business-like manner by the people, through the board. Each member of the board (one from each township in the county then) had charge of the needs of his own township and was never questioned by the other members, for they, too, were all looking after the needs of their own soldiers' families.
On June 3. 1863, the board passed the following resolution :
"That Drs. Thornell and Hunter be and are hereby appointed a com- mittee to visit the sick and wounded soldiers of Jasper county, Iowa, and that the sum of three hundred dollars is hereby appropriated for the purpose of furnishing such supplies for them as, in their judgment, may be necessary and proper ; and that they be required to report at the next session of this board, of their doings, together with the amounts expended."
PRESENTATION OF THE "HAVELOCKS."
The following bit of reminiscence was brought out by the pen and from the good memory of Civil war days, by J. H. Fugard. of Newton, at the dedication of the new . ( 1911) court house :
"Our people had some queer ideas about the dangers of a soldier's life, and some impracticable schemes were proposed for their relief. One source of dread was the fear that our boys would not be able to endure the intense heat that was supposed to exist in the Southern states. Some one had read how General Havelock, the Christian soldier, had furnished a novel sort of a head covering for his Highlanders to protect them from the sun, in their famous march across the sands of India to the relief of Lucknow. Acting on the suggestion, the Newton Ladies' Aid Society devised and made a lot of them. They were called 'Havelocks,' and were made of some kind of light material, and looked quite different from anything ever seen here before, being a sort of a cross between a helmet of the middle ages and a night cap of our grandmother's days. And when Captain Garrett's com- pany were about to leave, they were drawn up in front of the north porch,

and in a short speech by one of the ministers were formally presented with them.
"The gift was made from noble motives. But the presentation proceed- ings were badly marred by the loud laughter of the small boys at the ludi- crous appearance of the troops. But the latter paid no heed to the taunts and, out of respect to the donors, they wore their sunbonnets like heroes until they got out of town. They afterwards used them for dish cloths."
For a complete list of all soldiers who went from Fairview township the reader is referred to the history of that township for a certified sworn-to copy of same, made in 1865 for military purposes.
VOLUNTEER ROSTER OF THE COUNTY.
The following roster of soldiers who went from Jasper county has been carefully compiled from the adjutant-general's reports which were issued by authority of the state between the years 1862 and 1866, and are considered correct, except in a few changes, where some disability, such as desertion, has been removed by more recent acts of Congress and rulings of the war department. It is the aim to give the name of all volunteers, and note also those killed. The list is given alphabetically, by companies and regiments.
