Thus in common with many others, he was buried, if at all, by the hands of the enemy, and the place where his ashes rest no one knows. But it is an unspeakable comfort to his friends to know that although death was so sudden, it did not find him unprepared; although his remains did not receive christian burial, they await a glorious resurrection. For Charles Spencer was not only a pa- triot, but he was an intelligent and sincere christian. His letters which have been kindly submitted to my perusal, breathe not only of his love to his country, and to his friends, but to his Savior as well.
Writing home from Murfreesboro, he says :
" Mother ! I am seeking the path which leads to bliss, where there shall be no more war. Remember me in your prayers. It is very hard under the present surroundings to fulfil a christian's duty, but I am truly thank- ful to God for his many mercies, and with the prayers of a good, kind, mother and grand parents, I trust I shall never grow unmindful of them. God grant I may grow in christian excellence. I endeavor to read my tes- tament daily.

BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES.
Better than fame,-better than rank,-better than
"Storied urn, or animated bust,"
is the precious assurance, which all who knew him feel, that while his bones may still,
" By dark Chickamauga lie bleaching and cold,"
his immortal part flew from that scene, where he did a patriot's duty, and met a hero's death, to that world where there shall be no. more war!
CAPTAIN GEORGE DYER,
was the son of Captain George R. Dyer, a well-known, and long time citizen of Will county, and was born in the town of Plain- field. When his father received the appointment of quarter- master, and was stationed at Pilot Knob, Mo., young Dyer ac- companied him. . While there he organized a cavalry com- pany from the Union refugees of Missouri and Arkansas, and was chosen their captain, although less than eighteen years of age,. and commanded his company until taken sick and compelled to resign. He was in that fatal charge of Sherman, at Chickasaw Bayou. Notwithstanding his youth, he commanded the respect and confidence of his company, and his early death, the result of his exposure in the service, was greatly regretted by all who knew him. He was a young man of good character and much promise.
HENRY A. SPERRY,
son of Merritt Sperry, of Manhattan, was a member of Co. B, 20th regiment. After being wounded at Shiloh and Britton's Lane, and following the ragged and blood stained flag of the 20th,. through eight battles, he received wounds at the battle of Champion Hills, which resulted in his death near Vicksburg, the 18th of May, 1863, in the 21st year of his age, greatly mourned by his friends and acquaintance, but leaving behind him a proud record ..
JOHN BURDEN,
private in Co. A, 39th regiment, was from Channahon, and was killed at Deep Run, Va., while charging the enemy's works, at.

the age of 24. He was the son of Wm. and Elizabeth Burden, who came to America in 1850, and settled in Channahon in 1852, and was born in Scotland. He was a brave and faithful soldier, always fearless and ready for duty. He died on the field and was buried by the enemy, and his body never recovered. A monument was however erected to his memory in the cemetery at Channahon, when an address was given by the ex-chaplain of the regiment. He was always brave, prompt and faithful, and we rejoice to add, a warm-hearted and conscientious christian.
REV. JOEL GRANT, CHAPLAIN OF THE 12TH ILL. VOL.
It was the intention of the writer to confine the bio- graphical sketches to those who died in the service, or in consequence thereof. But inasmuch as we have found no occa- sion in the preceding regimental histories to mention the worthy chaplain, whose name is at the head of this article, we de- part from this prescribed limit, feeling that we should make an unpardonable omission if we did not say something of one who was for many years a respected and efficient pastor of the Con- gregational church, at Lockport, and who served the country no- bly and well for four years and a half as chaplain, and govern- ment commissioner.
Rev. Joel Grant was born in Colbrook, Conn., Jan. 24, 1816, of respectable and religious parents, under whose influence and training he became pious while yet a youth. Being determined to gain an education, and to consecrate his life to the work of the ministry, he set himself while still young to the work, which he accomplished mainly through his own efforts. He entered Yale college in the sophomore class at age of 19.
Graduating in 1838, he taught school for one year in the State of Maryland, and was then appointed professor of mathematics in the U. S. navy. In this capacity he served the country about three years, on board the ship " Potomac," cruising about South America. This service was very valuable in aiding him to ac- quire a knowledge of the French and Spanish languages, as well as providing him with funds for the prosecution of his chosen pro- fession. He then spent one year at Andover, from which he went to Yale and graduated, after two years further study, in 1845. In

the same year he was married to Miss Abigail F. Cowles, a gradu- ate of Mt. Holyoke seminary.
Being thus fully equipped for a life of usefulness, he came west at once, under a commission from the American Home Mis- sion Society, and commenced his labors in Lockport, Oct. 26, 1845. He remained in charge of Congregational church there two years, making many friends, and securing the confidence and re- spect of the community. This was thirty years ago. It is hard to realize now, the rough and unsettled state of society at that time. Work had just been resumed upon the canal, and many of the inhabitants of Lockport and other canal towns were but temporary residents. Chicago at that time, had a population of but 6,000. A church had been erected at Lockport, but it had been left in an unfinished state. It was completed and furnished during the administration of Mr. Grant.
But Mr. Grant met at Lockport an enemy, from whose re- peated attacks he was obliged to retire discomfitted. Those were the days of bilious fever and fever and ague-the sickly seasons on the line of the canal, and all through the west generally, which will be well remembered by all old settlers. After suffering nine attacks of bilious fever, preceded by sharp skirmishes with the " shakes," Mr. Grant felt it his duty to strike his colors to the foe and retire from the unequal combat. He returned to the east, and remained for five years in charge of a church, at Avon, Conn.
But, unhappy as had been his experience (physically) at the west, his heart was still there, and with the little church at Lock- port, and he returned to it once more, and resumed charge of the church, continuing with it, except for a brief interval, until the breaking out of the civil war, when his patriotic impulses led him to enter the service as chaplain of the 12th Ill. infantry in August, 1861, which position he held until July 12, 1865, when the regi- ment was mustered out. During this time, he was present at the battles of Fort Henry, Fort Donaldson, Shiloh, siege of Corinth, Lay's Ferry, Ga., Rome Cross Roads, Dallas, Kenesaw, Nicka- jack Creek, Bald Hill, Atlanta, Jonesboro and Altoona. He was detailed during part of the time as assistant commissioner of freed- men, being stationed at various places in Tennessee and Arkansas. He also served as government commissioner of education in Arkansas.

BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES.
Dec. 20th, 1865, he was commissioned chaplain of the 113th U. S. colored regiment, in which he remained until muster-out of regiment, April 9th, 1866. In all the positions in which he was placed, Mr. Grant was kind, faithful, and efficient.
After leaving the army, he resumed the ministry, first retiring to his native place, where he remained a year, attending upon the last days of his father, and after whose decease he came west once more, and preached at Bristol, Cambridge, and Downer's Grove.
. In December, 1873, he left the latter place to spend the holi- days with his family, his wife being then (as now) superintendent ot the Home of the Friendless. While there, he was taken sick, but on the morning of the day of his death (the 30th), he was apparently convalescent. He had risen, dressed himself, and talked about his return to Downer's Grove. While his wife was absent for a few moments he expired, being found on her return lifeless upon the bed. He died of rheumatism of the heart.
His Master had kindly permitted him to spend Christmas with his family on earth, but the New Year found him entering 'upon a new life in heaven !
Mr. Grant was buried in Lockport, his old friends and neigh- bors in great numbers meeting the train, and conveying his remains to the cemetery, placing them beside his deceased children.

A name is given but once. Where a man was promoted, his name will be found under his last promotion.
Except in a few instances, the list is confined to Will county men. It is probable, however, that some others have been included by mis- take. It is also probable that some have been omitted who went from Will county. Various circumstances have rendered it difficult to arrive at absolute correctness.
The author would be glad to receive notice of any errors or omis- sions, and anything of importance will be corrected on a supplemen - tary page.
