TENTH ILLINOIS VOLUNTEER INFANTRY.
Thomas G. Pratt, of Virginia.
THIRTY-THIRD ILLINOIS VOLUNTEER INFANTRY.
The Thirty-third Illinois Volunteer Infantry was another regiment that had a company made up mostly of Cass County men. The regiment was organized at Camp Butler, but was known as the "Normal" regiment, because so many stu- dents from the Normal State University were in the regiment and its first colonel, Charles E. Hovey, was principal of that school. Dr. Charles E. Lippincott of Chandlerville, immediately upon hearing the news of the disastrous defeat at Bull Run, gathered as many men as he could in Cass County and proceeded to Springfield, where he offered to Governor Yates his company to be placed in any regiment where they could be used.

HISTORY OF CASS COUNTY
The company was recruited to full strength and attached to the Thirty-third regiment, as Com- pany K. Dr. Lippincott was elected its captain, William A. Nixon, first lieutenant, and William H. Weaver, second lieutenant. Mr. Weaver later served in the Seventy-first Illinois Volunteer In- fantry in the one hundred-day service. The regiment was mustered into service August 15, 1861, 1,006 strong, and left camp for Ironton, Mo., September 20, 1861, receiving its arms from the St. Louis arsenal. It remained during the winter at Ironton, from which point it made fre- quent scouting expeditions, in one of which it fought the battle of Frederickstown. The next spring it went south, marched overland from Pilot Knob to Batesville, then with General Cur- tis marched back to Jacksonport, and thence to Helena, Ark. During the marches it fought the battle of the Cache, and was in many skirmishes. During the winter and spring of 18C3 it cam- paigned through southeast Missouri, was sent to Milliken's Bend, participated in the engagements at Port Gibson, Champion's Hill, siege of Vicks- burg and siege of Jackson. In August of that year it went to New Orleans, and engaged in the Bayou Teche campaign. From thence it went to Arkansas Pass, St. Joseph, Matagorda Island and Saluria, participating in the capture of Fort Esperanza, and from there to Indianola and Port Lavaca, Tex. On January 1. 1864, the regiment re-enlisted as a veteran regiment, and on March 1. received veteran furloughs, at Bloomington, Ill. It again collected after the expiration of the furloughs, at Springfield, and left that place April 18, 1864, for St. Louis, and from there went to New Orleans, where it cam- paigned along the railroad from New Orleans to Brashear. There it remained until the spring of 1865. When the Mobile expedition was or- ganized. the Thirty-third was added to the Six- teenth Army Corps. On March 2. 1865, as it was proceeding to New Orleans, upon nearing Butte Station, the train was thrown from the track and nine men were killed, and about seventy were injured, two of whom afterwards died of their injuries. Fortunately for the Cass County boys. Company K had been detailed to guard transportation, and so they were not in the wreck. On March 1S, the regiment embarked for Fish River, Ala., and with General Canby's army marched up the east side of Mobile Bay. It participated actively in the siege of Spanish Fort, from March 27 to April S, when the fort surrendered. It then proceeded to Montgomery,
where it received the news of General Lee's sur- render. It marched to Vicksburg, which place it reached August 17, and there remained until it was mustered out, November 24, 1865, and on the 20th of that month, it arrived at Springfield, Ill., where the men were paid off. Lieut. William H. Weaver resigned March 22, 1862, and in July of that year organized a company at Beards-' town and from other parts of Cass County, for the three months' service. He was elected cap- tain, and Thomas Byron Collins, second lieu- tenant. . The company went to Chicago, where it became a part of the Seventy-first Illinois Volun- teer Infantry, as Company G. When this com- pany was mustered out at Chicago, October 29, 1862, Captain Weaver beeame, in a sense a pri- vate citizen, but in 1864 he again furnished a company for the one hundred-day service. He was elected eaptain of that company, and Eb- enezer Fish, second lieutenant. This company was attached to the One Hundred and Forty- fifthi Illinois Volunteer Infantry, as Company G.
A DISTINGUISHED OFFICER AND CITIZEN.
There were no other commissioned offieers of the Thirty-third from Cass County except Capt. Charles E. Lippincott of Company K. On Mareb 1, 1862. the regiment had orders to leave winter quarters at Ironton, Mo., for the south, and on that day Lieutenant-Colonel Loekwood resigned, and an election was held by order of Colonel Hovey to fill the vacancy. There were several candidates, among them being the name of Cap- tain Lippincott. The vote did not show Captain Lippincott's election by several hundred votes, but he was absent on leave at Springfield. where a commission could be issued without the for- malities and annoyanecs of election returns. Governor Yates knew Captain Lippincott very well, they having been sehoolmates during boy- hood, and so the governor appointed Captain Lippincott lieutenant-colonel of the regiment. On September 5 Colonel Hovey was promoted to be brigadier-general, and Lieut .- Col. Lippincott was commissioned eolonel. On February 17, 1865, he was promoted brevet brigadier-general, and after the fall of Mobile was made brigadier- general of veterans.
Charles Ellet Lippincott was born at Edwards- ville, Madison County, Ill., January 26, 1825. His father was Rev. Thomas Lippincott, and his mother's maiden name was Catherine Wyly Leggett. She was a sister of William Leggett,
Walter E. Buck.

HISTORY OF CASS COUNTY
the distinguished editor of the New York Even- ing Post. On October 11, 1821, Thomas Lippin- cott and Catherine W. Leggett were married, she being his third wife. Thomas Lippincott being a preacher, he was transferred from place to place to fill various charges, and his son Charles E., received only such schooling as he could in the village schools, and early realized that he must rely upon his own efforts, as his father had a large family, and was receiving but a small remuneration for his services. Charles E. Lip- pincott received his first start from teaching school for two terms on Rock Creek, in Menard County, at a very small salary, and in 1844 he entered Illinois College at Jacksonville, where, by applying the most rigid economy, lie got through the first year of college. His funds be- ing exhausted, he, during the next summer, worked on a farm. Having decided to adopt the medical profession as a calling in life, he soon commenced the study of the healing art with a country physician, and in 1847-8 again attended Illinois College, and had for his in- structor, or at least one of them, the well known physician and surgeon, Dr. David Prince. He, however, did not graduate from either depart- ment of Illinois College. In 1848 he went to St. Louis and obtained employment with the firm of which his brother-in-law, W. S. Gilman, was a partner, and while at St. Louis, attended Pope's Medical College, taking a full course of lectures and received the degree of M. D., and a diploma. Dr. Lippincott located at Chandler- ville, and began the practice of his profession, one of his first patients being Dr. Charles Chand- ler, who had become ill from his perpetual drudgery over the sand hills and the miasmatic bottoms of the Sangamon. Also, at the request of Dr. Chandler, he looked after the old doctor's practice, thus gaining an excellent start and a wide acquaintance. On Christmas day, Decem- ber 25, 1851, Dr. Lippincott was married to Emily Webster Chandler, a daughter ot Dr. Chandler. In the summer of 1853, Dr. Lippin- cott crossed the plains to California in search of gold, but soon after arriving there engaged in politics and was sent to the state scnate. He remained in California five years and then re- turned to Chandlerville, where he again resumed his practice, and continued therein until the breaking out of the Civil war.
At the close of the war, General Lippincott 'did not return to the practice of medicine, but gave his attention largely to politics. Before
the war he was a Democrat, but after the war, he associated himself with the Republicans. Without the place being sought by him, he was nominated for Congress by the Republicans of the Ninth District, composed of Pike, Brown, Schuyler, Fulton, McDonough, Cass, Mason and Menard counties. The district had been over- whelmingly Democratic in former years, but General Lippincott was only defeated by a few . hundred in a vote of more than 30,000. When the Twenty-fifth General Assembly met in 1867, it elected General Lippincott secretary of the senate, his father having held the same position in 1821. He resigned to accept the position of door-keeper of the national house of Congress. In 1SGS he was nominated by the state Repub- lican convention for state auditor, and elected on the same ticket with General Grant for presi- dent. He was re-elected to the same office in 1872. At the close of that term having served the state for eight years as a very efficient and popular official, he retired to his tarm adjoining Chandlerville.
The legislature of 1SS5 passed the act for the building and establishment of a soldiers' and sailors' home and Quincy was selected as the place of its location. Land to the extent of 140 acres was purchased, and the buildings were erected, subsequently eighty acres being added. It is at the northern limits of the city of Quincy on the Mississippi River, and is beautifully situated. Its splendid buildings, gardens, walks and drives combined with its natural advan- tages, give to the old, crippled, and indigent sol- diers and sailors an earthly paradise. The Soldiers' and Sailors' Home was completed and thrown open for occupancy on March 3, 18S7, the fittieth anniversary of the organization of Cass County. The first trustees appointed by Gov- ernor Oglesby tendered the position of governor of the home to General Lippincott, which honor he accepted. It was conceded on all sides that the trustees had made a wise selection, and this was proven by General Lippincott's subsequent career. He entered upon his duties with en- thusiasm, fully appreciating the importance and dignity of the position, but was shortly afterward stricken with paralysis, and died at the home September 11, 1887, aged sixty-two years seven months and sixteen days. His remains were taken to Springfield and buried in Oak Ridge Cemetery. The funeral obsequies were con- ducted by Stephenson Post, G. A. R., of Spring- field, the active pall bearers being members of

his old regiment: Col. E. R. Roe, William Sut- ton, Col. E. R. Higgins, Joseph Turner, of Ash- land, Charles I. Haskell, of Virginia, Captains J. M. Burnham and E. J. Lewis, and Joseph W. Fifer, of Bloomington, who later became gov- ernor of Illinois. The honorary pall bearers were Governor Oglesby, General Palmer, General Mc- Clernand, General McConnell, General John Cook, Colonel Wickersham, Senator Shelby M. Cullom and Hon. O. M. Hatch. The Congrega -. tional church, in which the services were held, was crowded, and after the short ceremonies, a large concourse of people with the old soldiers, followed his remains to their last resting place, of a warrior bold, brave and generous. His widow took up the burden of life alone, assuming her duties as matron of the home and there re- mained until her death, which occurred May 21, 1895. Her family of three children died some years prior to General Lippincott. She was buried by the side of her husband in Oak Ridge Cemetery. As a testimonial of the great respect and affection for General Lippincott and his wife, the old soldiers of the home from their in- dividnal contributions, caused to be erected upon the grounds a handsome building known as the Lippincott Memorial Hall. It is used as an as- sembly hall for religious services, lectures and other entertainments.

ONE HUNDRED AND FOURTEENTH ILLINOIS VOLUNTEER INFANTRY.
The One Hundred and Fourteenth Illinois Vol- unteer Infantry was organized in July and Angust, 1862, and mustered into the service Sep- tember 1S of that year at Springfield, Ill., being recruited from Cass, Menard and Sangamon counties. There were two companies from Cass County, one formed at Beardstown, and one at Virginia. Company D was formed at Virginia, and was organized with the following commis- sioned offieers : Capt. Benjamin C. Berry, First Lieut. Thomas S. Berry, Second Lient. David N. Downing. Company A, formed at Beardstown, had the following commissioned officers : Capt. John M. Johnson, First Lieut. Philander Lucas, Second Lieut. Joseph A. MeClure, First Sergt. Norman S. Hitchcock. The regiment left Camp Butler for Memphis, Tenn., on November S, 1862, arriving there on the 26th, and started at once on the Tallahatchie campaign. In the early part of 1863, it returned to Memphis, and was ordered
to Louisiana, and on May 2 returned and en- gaged in the battle of Jackson, arriving at Vicks- burg on June 18, and participating in the siege, with a loss of twenty killed and wounded. It was principally engaged in scout duty from that on until 1864, when it participated in the battle of Guntown, Miss. On the retreat from Gill- town, the regiment was placed in the rear as guard, and held the enemy in check during the whole of the first night. There were 397 of the regiment engaged, and out of that number there were lost 209 in killed, wounded and missing. Lieut. Henry D. Freeman, of Company D, was captured and placed with other prisoners on a train and started south, but he jumped from the train while it was running at high speed and made his escape. After wandering through the woods and swamps for a week he finally reached a Union camp and was sent to his regiment. He served with his regiment during the re- mainder of the war. Among the wounded was Lieut. T. S. Berry, also of Company D. In August, 1864, the regiment was ordered to Du- vall's Bluff, Ark., and leaving Brownsville in pursuit of General Price, it marched to Cape Girardeau in seventeen days on ten days' rations. It later traveled by foot and rail to Kansas City, Mo., then to St. Louis, and from there was sent to Nashville, where it engaged in battle on the 15th and 16th of December. After the sur- render of Mobile, it was marched to Montgon- ery, arriving there April 24, 18G5. There it bridged the Alabama River with pontoons and remained on guard until July 17, when it was ordered to Vicksburg, and was mustered out of service, Angust 3, 1865. However, it did not dis- band, but went to Camp Butler, where it was paid off on August 15 and discharged. The ros- ter of the regiment relating to Cass County soldiers is as follows :
