[" Immediately after discharge I resided on a plantation adjoining the ' Hermitage,' near Nashville, and during Hood's raid was surrounded by Buford's Brigade Cavalry and met old 'rebs.' We had fought at Vicks- burg, Lookout Mountain, etc. Having picked up some information that might be of some value to give Thomas, I crossed the river on a plank. Reached Nashville safely and reported. The next morning the Nash- ville fight commenced. That service, if any, was my best war service. though I believe I have contributed in helping to 'reconstruct' our Southern brethren and sisters as I married one of the 'sisters.' Have occupied several unimportant civil offices and have been treated with all respect by my neighbors, all of whom were old rebel soldiers."]

HISTORY OF THE THIRTEENTH REGIMENT
COMPANY F.
Those who organized Company F, of our regiment, have left but meager data from which to write its history. From Captain E. F. Dutton, its second captain, we have the follow- ing :
There is not much of a history connected with Company F, Thirteenth Illinois Infantry, before its muster into service.
"Zelotus B. Mayo was urged by the patriotic young men of Sycamore to organize a company. A paper was drawn up and signatures solicited. Captain Mayo was the first, and E. F. Dutton second to enlist, and they were the first to enroll in the defense of our country, from De Kalb county, Illinois. This was on April 17, 1861.
" There was a great scrabble to get in. It was not dreamed that it was more than an excursion ; a kind of a picnic we were enlisting for.
"The company was organized by electing Z. B. Mayo captain, and E. F. Dutton first-lieutenant, R. A. Smith sec- ond-lieutenant, and J. S. Harrison first-sergeant. Great fears existed throughout the company that we would not be ac- cepted ; and delegates went to Springfield to interview the governor, and intercede for the acceptance of our company as a part of some regiment called by him for three months' service.
" We spent the time till May 9th, in drilling company drill. in a hall and through the streets. A' hardware store kindly loaned us broom-handles which we used as a substi- tute for muskets.
"On May 9th we were notified by the governor to go into camp at Dixon, Illinois, there to be mustered into the State service for thirty days, and if not needed by the United States government within thirty days we were to be discharged.
"We remained at Camp Dixon, drilling and performing camp duty till May 24th, when we were called by the United States, and Captain John Pope, of the regular army, appeared

to muster us into the United States service. An opportunity was then given for those who declined the service, to drop out. A few availed themselves of this opportunity, but nearly all of the boys were true blue. There were no casualties and 110 desertions up to this time."
ROSTER.
Zelotus B. Mayo,
Original Captain ; enlisted from Sycamore, Illinois, and was mus- tered at Dixon, Illinois, with the regiment on May 24, IS61, and resigned July 25, IS61.
[Captain Mayo was getting rather old for service, which was the cause of his resignation.
It is said that he was a soldier in the Florida war; and at the out- break of the rebellion, it was thought that any man who had seen service was competent for the command of a company, whether he had the fac- ulty to command men or not. In the case of comrade Mayo, this rule failed to hold good. The men all liked "Bing," though they had no confidence in him as a military man. He died since the war, at his home in Sycamore. ]
Everett F. Dutton,
Original first-lieutenant ; born in Charlestown, New Hampshire ; enlisted from Sycamore ; mustered on May 24, with the regiment in 1861; he was promoted captain and mustered as such on August 6, IS62 ; vice Mayo resigned ; was promoted major of the One-hundred and fifth Illinois Infantry, and to lieutenant-colonel of the same. Received a brevet as brigadier-general for gallant and meritorious services in the Atlanta campaign, and in North Carolina ; has been circuit clerk of De Kalb county, Illinois for eight years, and clerk of the Supreme Court of Illinois, from ISTS to ISS4. Is now en- gaged in banking at Sycamore, and is well to do as far as worldly possessions are concerned.
Comrade Dutton was well liked as an officer by the most of the company.
Richard A. Smith, .
Original second-lieutenant ; born at Geneva, Chenango county, New York, in IS28; enlisted from Sycamore, Illinois, and was mus- tered with the regiment ; was promoted first-lieutenant in Septem- ber, IS61, and captain in the summer of 1862 ; was discharged August 21, IS63.
[Captain Smith lost his right arm on the 29th of December, IS62, in the battle of Chickasaw Bayou, Mississippi, and also received a severe wound in the right thigh at the same battle.

524
HISTORY OF THE THIRTEENTH REGIMENT
Comrade Smith was elected county treasurer of DeKalb county, Illinois, in the fall of IS63, and was re-elected, serving four terms in the office, or eight years altogether, as county treasurer. He was a farmer for ten years thereafter. In the year ISS4 he removed to Lake City, Iowa, a town of two thousand inhabitants, and is postmaster of that town at the present time.
Captain Smith was liked by all the company, and when he resigned all felt that his place would be hard to fill. ]
John S. Harroun,
Original First-Sergeant. Comrade Harroun enlisted from Sycamore and was mustered with the regiment. Under the head of "Re- marks," the Adjutant-General's report merely says of him, "Absent on duty." Nothing further is before us.
Azro A. Buck,
Original Second-Sergeant. Sergeant Buck enlisted from Sycramore, Illinois, and was mustered with the regiment. Sergeant Buck was promoted Second-Lieutenant, First-Lieutenant and Captain, and was mustered out June IS, 1864. Captain Buck was a very good officer, generally liked in his company, and looked out for the wel- fare of his men as well as any officer of Company F. After his muster out as Captain, he helped raise the One Hundred and Forty- Seventh Illinois Infantry, a one hundred day regiment, which he entered as Captain. After the war he went South and died in Kansas.
Lorenzo H. Whitney,
Original Third-Sergeant. Enlisted from Sycamore, Illinois, and mustered with the regiment. He was discharged the from service on September 10, 1861. Sergeant Whitney has resided most of the time since the war at Chicago. He is a lawyer by profession. After his discharge from Company F, hie raised Company B for the Eighth Illinois Cavalry, then resigned and helped raise the One Hundred and Fortieth Regiment, Illinois Infantry, of which he was the Colonel.
Enos Churchill,
Original Fourtlı-Sergeant. Comrade. Churchill was born in Erie county, New York, October 14, IS2S ; enlisted from Courtland, Illi- nois, and mustered with the regiment. He was mustered out June 18, 1864. Comrade Churchill, from his home in Tulare, Tulare county, writes that he is crippled with rheumatism, which unfits him for labor, but has great hopes, as he has patented, both in Eng- land and America, an "air-compressed washer and churn," an in- vention of his own which he thinks will supply him in place of the p. nsion which we all should have.

Has resided, since IS71, in Nebraska, where he took up a homestead and is engaged in farming. - He says, "Had a visit from Cooper, of Company C; and while Cooper went away richer by a few shekels I was richer in knowledge." How many of the boys of the Thir- teenth, can tell the saine story ? (They would about every one an- swer "Here," at such a roll-call.) . Olney was as good a messmate as the writer well knows.
