FRANKLIN COUNTY, ILL. WAR HISTORY.
Review of Co. "F," 9th Ill. Infantry Spanish-American War
THIS company was one of the 9th Illinois Infantry raised by authority of Governor John R.Tanner by James R. Campbell of McLeansboro, Illinois, then a member of Congress. Colonel Campbell remained with the regiment from its organization until the final muster out, and later re-entered the service as Brigadier-General in the Philippines and now as Gen. James R. Campbell has retired to private life as one of the honored and respected citizens of Hamilton county, being engaged in the banking business in McLeansboro, Illinois.
This regiment very fortunately had for its Lieutenant-Colonel, Even Swift, a regular army officer, who was captain in the 5th Cavalry of the regular service, later detached from the 9th Illinois and made Colonel of the 4th Illinois Infantry, Spanish-American War. Colonel Swift was and is a real soldier, rising in his profession until during the World War he reached the rank of Major- General and was in command of American troops in Italy and so far as the writer is advised, is still in the service of Uncle Sam.
Company F was recruited principally from Franklin county with several men from Perry, Williamson and Saline counties, made up of farmer boys, school teachers and nearly all lines of business; camped in the old fair grounds south of Benton for a time before their entry into the service, moved to Springfield and afterwards to Jacksonville, Florida, thence to Savannah, Georgia, from there to Havana, Cuba and after a stay of about five months in that island they returned to Augusta, Georgia, and there were mustered out.
This regiment saw no actual service, not by the wishes of its officers or men but through the fact
that they did not reach the scene of operation until the fighting was over.
Company F was organized by its first Captain, the Honorable James M. Joplin, now deceased, Robert E. Hickman and Simeon Moore with the assistance of H. R. Dial, John S. Dillon and others who were active in the organization of the company.
In December, 1898, while the company was stationed at Savannah, Georgia, Captain Joplin, on account of ill health, resigned and returned to his home in Benton, where he died some few years since, leaving his widow, Mrs. Mattie Joplin and several children, who still keep that beautiful home on North Main Street.
Robert E. Hickman, after the resignation of Captain Joplin was made Captain of the Company and was in command from his appointment until the muster out of the regiment, Simeon Moore having been advanced to the grade of First Lieu- tenant and John S. Dillon having been advanced to the position of Second Lieutenant.
Robert E. Hickman still lives in Benton, having been in the practice of law since his return from the army and upon the organization of the city court of Benton was elected its first judge and served a term of four years, declining re-election to give all of his time to the practice of his profession.
Lieutenant Moore is still a resident of Benton, engaged in the real estate business, hale and hearty.
A number of old Company F men still live in and around Benton, though of about one hundred and fifty who left Benton that bright June morning in 1898 to be mustered into the service, many are missing and will not be present or accounted for until the final roll call.

FRANKLIN COUNTY, ILL. WAR HISTORY.
Early History of Co. "F"
IN the Spring of 1899, O. C. Smith, who was then a school teacher in this county, secured a commission to organize a company for the 4th Illinois Infantry National Guard. He pro- ceeded to organize the company and was ready to be mustered into the service when a recruiting officer came to Benton and forty-seven of the new company including the organizer enlisted in the United States Volunteer Infantry and were sent to Fort Sheridan. Illinois, and assigned to the 30th United States Volunteer Infantry and later went through thecampaign during the years of 1899 and 1900 in Southern Luzon, Phillipine Islands. This regiment was mustered out of the service in the fall of 1900.
On May 22, 1913, sixty-five men were mustered into the service of the Illinois National Guard as Company "F", 4th Illinois regiment of Infantry, with the following officers: Captain, O. C. Smith; First Lieutenant, James Lindsay-Oliver; Second Lieutenant, Stanley B. Brown. The company received its full equipment only five days before the annual encampment which it attended that year at Camp Lincoln, Springfield. The men had been drilling continually without equipment. Governor Dunne paid them the compliment of saying that Co. "F", 4th Illinois Infantry was the best Company in the State during that year.
Co. "F" was ordered out during the race riots in the fall of 1914, at Benton, and although they had no ammunition succeeded in quelling the disturbance within an hour. They were on duty, however, at that time for the period of one week before absolute quiet was restored.
On February 11, 1915, Capt. O. C. Smith tendered his resignation which was accepted. Lieutenant James Lindsay-Oliver was elected captain and First Sergeant Harry M. Brown was elected First Lieutenant.
In the fall of 1915, the company was called to duty on account of the race riots at Johnston City
and did splendid service. In the spring of 1916, Captain Lindsay-Oliver tendered his resignation which was accepted, and O. C. (Smith was again appointed Captain with rank from May 29, 1916.
On June 19, 1916, the company was ordered to mobolize for services on the Mexican Border. Recruiting was begun at once and in one week 135 men had enlisted for this service, making the largest company in the state reporting for the border service. The organization went to camp at the Fair Grounds at Springfield, Illinois. They were equipped and ordered to Camp Wilson- San Antonio, Texas, where they went into intens- ified training on June 5, 1916.
During their stay on the border they took part in the famous San Antonio-Austin practice march as one of the units of the twelfth provisional division This was the largest body of troops that had par- ticipated in a maneuver up until that time since the civil war. The company was mustered out at Fort Sheridan, March 15, 1917.
The company was ordered to East St. Louis in connection with the race riots in May, 1917, and again on the second of July, 1917; arriving early on that evening. The mob had been raging during the entire day and four other companies had been rendered powerless because they had been broken up into squads.
Captain Smith received orders to break up the mob which was planning an attack on the city hall. The company fixed bayonets and charged through the mob and succeeded in capturing two hundred and forty-three of their number, who were marched to the city hall and confined. The company. remained on duty in and around the National Stock Yards until July 18, 1917; returning to their homes but to be called into the Federal service and the World War on July 25. They went to camp in the Fair Grounds at Benton, where intensified training was taken up. The roster of the company as mustered-in follows:
