" DECEASED. - In Chicago, Illinois, June 27, ISS7, Edward Clarence Hubbard, aged forty-four, of Hartford, Kentucky. Comrade Hubbard was well known to the members of the Grand Army of the Republic, having been Adjutant-General of that organization for the State of Kentucky. At the time of his death he was Commander of Preston Morton Post, of Ohio county, Kentucky. He was also one of the leading members of the bar in western Kentucky, and honored as a prominent Republican politician all over the State, having been a delegate from his district to the Presidental Convention held in Cincin- nati in 1876, to a similar one in Chicago in ISSo, and elector-at-large for the State of Kentucky in ISS4. He was born in Cook county, Illinois, and was a graduate of the Chicago High School. Just after leaving the High School, he enlisted in the Thirteenth Illinois, serving through to the end of the war. While in the service he contracted throat trouble that carried him off in the prime of life."
The San Francisco Daily Alta says that : " Hon. E. Clarence Hub- bard, a leading citizen and lawyer of Kentucky, died early yesterday

morning, at the home of his mother, in Chicago, whither he had been removed for the benefit of his health. Mr. Hubbard's parents emigrated to Illinois when Fort Dearborn, now Chicago, was an Indian trading post, near which place, February 24th, IS43, he was born and grew to manhood. He was a graduate of the Chicago High School, of the class of IS59, and was a class-mate with Mr. John R. Scupham, of San Fran- cisco. When the first call for troops was made, in April, IS61, the deceased enlisted in the Thirteenth Illinois Volunteers, and was appointed Sergeant-Major of the regiment, of which regiment Mr. Frank W. Cushing of the United States Customs of this city, was a member. After three and a half years' service Mr. Hubbard returned to Chicago and assisted in the formation, and was an officer of the first Army and Navy Club organized in the Northwest, of which Charles A. Dana, now editor of the New York Sun, was the President, and Col. Lyman Bridges, of San Francisco, was vice-President. Having married the daughter of Col. Q. C. Shanks, a Union cavalry officer of Kentucky, that State afterwards became his home. In politics he was an ardent Republican, and as such he presided in the councils of his party, was a delegate to the National Convention that nominated ex-Presidents Hayes and Garfield. He opposed the nomination of Grant for the third term, and made the principal address at the anti-third term con- vention held in St. Louis in ISSo, and was the orator on Memorial Day at Louisville three years ago. He was in his forty-fifth year at the time of his death, and was a brother of Col. A. S. Hubbard of this city. His many friends of this coast will learn with regret his untimely death.]

[In addition to what Comrade Wilson has seen fit to furnish the historian, his record (which has been a good one) would not be complete without some few items which have cropped out, in spite of Comrade Wilson's intention not to praise himself. The historian has had occa- sion to examine papers recommending comrade Wilson, signed by General Grant's own hand, after he had become a Lieutenant-General. After the war, Comrade Wilson married and settled down to civil life. Has not sought civil honors, nor a sounding name, but has gone to work to procure the necessary wherewithal to make a comfortable home for the loved ones that God has placed in his charge. Comrade Wilson, with wife, son and daughter, are happily situated at No. 38 High street, Freeport, Illinois, and the veterans of the old Thirteenth, will find 110 difficulty in locating the right man, as the latch-string is hanging con- veniently on the outside. ]

COMPANY D.
Quincy McNeil writes in March, 1887, concerning the company raised at Rock Island and known in the regiment as D Company :
"On April 19th, 1861, one hundred and thirty-two men left Rock Island for Springfield, Illinois, that place having been declared the rendezvous for the six regiments just called by the Governor to meet the quota for the seventy-five thousand call of President Lincoln. These men were commanded by W. W. Williams, Captain ; David Benson, First-Lieutenant ; Quincy McNeil, Second-Lieutenant. At Decatur we heard that seventy-seven men, rank and file, were all that were allowed in a company. Williams selected those out of the men that he wanted for his company, but said nothing to the others until they arrived at Springfield. He was assigned with his men to the Twelfth Regiment as Company D. The

HISTORY OF THE THIRTEENTH REGIMENT
Legislature soon convened and authorized each Congressional District to raise a regiment. The men who were not wanted in Williams's company formed another company to belong to the regiment from the Second Congressional District. Quincy McNeil was elected Captain ; James M. Beardsley, First-Lieutenant, and Albert T. Higby, Second-Lieutenant. An order was then made by the War Department to fill up each company to one hundred and one men. Williams then desired to draw enough men from the McNeil company to fill his own, but the men said that they had been counted out once, and now he could fill up his company from other men. This was easily done, as most men wanted a hand in the ninety days given to smash secession. The McNeil company was ordered to Dixon on May 9th, and were mustered in by Capt. John E. Smith, aid to Governor Yates. When they came to muster in to the United States service, some of the men refused to number, and the company was short of the requisite number to muster as a company. To meet the emergency, some men were borrowed from Company G, and the company was mustered, to the gratification of those who were anxious to go to the war. In making out the muster-roll, the names of all the men were placed upon it. As there were just lines enough for the one hundred and one names, those from Company G, which had been borrowed for this occasion were interlined. This was done in such a bungling way that Captain Pope, the mustering officer, returned the roll to Captain McNeil, who was given another blank and instructions to fill it up so that the names could be easily read. In the meantime enough of the troops had been secured from Rock Island so that the spaces could be filled up without the borrowed names. To rectify the roll the borrowed men were reported as having deserted. The large number of them was noticed, and the War Department called for an explanation. The Captains who had loaned men finally made a clean breast of it though, in fear of dismissal from the service. The company was now fairly in the service and made its record with the regiment.

ROSTER.
Quincy McNeil,
Born November 21, IS22, at Princeton, Indiana; enlisted April 14, IS61 ; mustered in as Captain Company B, May, 24, IS61 ; promoted- May 2; Illinois Cavalry, July 11, 1861 ; promoted Lieutenant- Colonel August 30, IS62; served with Thirty-Ninth Regiment ; colored trocos from March 11, IS64 ; served under General Burnside in battle of Wilderness in forty-two engagements; returned to Rock Island May 15 ; has been in Rock Island most of the time since. Present address, Rock Island. He further writes: "I made teu thousand dollars in the army, 'six bits'in money and the rest in experience ; was retired by a fool Court Martial April 4, IS65 ; returned home and was appointed whisky smeller to a distillery ; have been the maker of abstracts of titles for twenty years ; have lost the use of my right hand by writer's paralysis; wife died ; children all gone ; I want to go home."
[Early in the campaign of IS51, Captain McNeil resigned from Company D of our regiment to accept promotion as major of the Second Illinois Cavalry ; and while serving as such, at Paducah, Kell- tucky, in January, IS62, the copperhead convention of Illinois, sitting at Springfield, ostensibly for revising the Constitution, but really to be used as a political machine assumed to control the soldiers in the field, passing the following resolution :
Resolved, That the Committee on Military Affairs be instructed to inquire whether the soldiers sent into the field from this State have been and continue to be provided for in all respects as the troops sent into the field from other States have been provided for ; and if the committee find that the Illinois troops have not been thus provided for, that they be instructed to inquire further whether the neglect is justly chargeable to any person or persons holding office under this state, and to report the facts to this convention.
The following reply to this resolution from the gallant McNeil was more than they bargained for :
PADUCAH, KENTUCKY, Feb. 16th, IS62.
James W. Singleton, Esq., Chairman Committee on Military Affairs, Springfield, Illinois.
DEAR SIR : Your circular dated January 23d, 1862, including a resolution of the Illinois Constitutional Convention, came to hand to-day.
Should I give you the information the resolution calls for, I should make as great an ass of myself as the Convention has of you by asking you to attend to that which is none of your business ; and which is also
.
502
HISTORY OF THE THIRTEENTH REGIMENT
not the business of the Convention. If I am rightly informed, you were elected to make a constitution for the State of Illinois. Why in h- don't you do it ? Comparing the equipments of the soldiers of the several states is about as much your business as it would be my busi- ness to inquire into the sanity of the members of the Convention. . Suppose the facts were as your resolution would seem to imply-that we are not as well equipped and armed as soldiers from the other States- can you as a member of that Convention be of any service to us? But I know, and you know, that the resolution was offered for a different purpose-a purpose for which every member of the Convention should blush for shame-to make political capital.
