The roster of Captain Joseph Naper's company was con- tributed by William Naper, for the use of G. H. Woodruff's recent historical paper.
Naper Settlement. - Captain -Joseph Naper. Lieutenants -First, Alanson Sweet; Second, Sherman King. Sergeants - First, S. M. Salsbury; Second, John Manning; Third, Walter Stowell; Fourth, John Naper. Corporals-First, T. E. Parsons, Second, Lyman Butterfield; Third, I. P. Blodgett; Fourth, R. N. Murray. Privates-P. F. W. Peck, William Barber, Richard W. Sweet, John Stevens, jr., Calvin M. Stowell, John Fox, Dennis Clark, Caleb Foster, Augustine Stowell, George Fox, T. Parsons, Daniel Landon, William Gault, Uriah Paine, John Stevens, Seth Westcott, Henry T. Wilson, Christopher Paine, Baily Hobson, Josiah H. Giddings, Anson Ament, Calvin Ament, Edmund Harrison, Willard Scott, Percy Hawley, Peter Wickoff. Of this company, Walter Stowell, I. P. Blodgett, Seth Westcott, Josiah H. Giddings, Willard Scott and Percy (or Pierce) Hawley, were from the present bounds of Will county. P. F. W. Peck moved to Chicago at this time, and may be said to be one of the men whom that location made.
While all those preparations for defense were being made in Cook county, the people of Central Illinois were not idle spec- tators. Three thousand militia were ordered out from Peoria and the counties south of it, and marched to Rock river, where they were joined by a detachment of regular troops from Fort Armstrong, under General Atkinson. A party of one hundred and fifty militia, under the command of Major Dement, fell in

with a detachment of Indians, commanded by Black Hawk him- self, somewhere between Rock river and Galena. An action ensued, in which the Indians were routed. The main army con- tinued to move up Rock river, around the headwaters of which, it was said, the Indians were concentrated. On the 21st of July, General Henry, commanding an advanced party of the army, came up with the Indians between the Blue Mounds and the Wisconsin river. The troops were formed into a hollow square, and all attempts to break the line by the savages were in vain. A general charge was finally made by the troops, when the Indians were forced to retreat, with the loss of between fifty and sixty of their number. The Indians continued their retreat to the northwest, crossed the Wisconsin river, and moved up the east bank of the Mississippi. About fifty miles above Prairie du Chien, they were again overtaken and completely routed, with the loss of one hundred and fifty warriors. This victory com- pletely broke the power of Black Hawk, and ended the war. He was captured by a party of Winnebagoes, and delivered up to the officers of the United States at Prairie du Chien, on the 27th of August, 1832. He was interned in Fortress Monroe, tried and returned to his reservation, and died October 3, 1838.
War for the Union .- The following military of the county, together with the rosters of the G. A. R., and personal notices found throughout this work, contain the names of all soldiers who enlisted in this county, as well as a great number of soldiers from other counties and States now residing here. The Board of Supervisors appropriated $5,000 April 30, 1861, to aid the families of volunteers and defray the expenses of enlistment. September 17 a refund from the States to the county of $1,579 was reported by Supervisor Goodell. At this meeting of the Supervisors there were sixty soldiers' families reported as requir- ing aid, to meet which demand a sum of $3,775 was appropri- ated-the expenditure being based upon a weekly allowance of $1.25 per week for the wife or guardian, and fifty cents per week for each child under twelve years of age. On July 29, 1862, the Board appropriated $60,000 for a war fund. A bounty of $60 was offered to each volunteer. At the September meeting of 1863, $710. On December 16, 1863, the sum of $39,225 was appropriated for $100 bounties to be paid to all who would enlist before the draft. To negotiate the loan of this amount and disburse it, Geo. Woodruff, B. F. Russell, H. Howk of Jol- iet, A. J. McIntyre of Wilmington, and Wm. Gooding of Lock- port, were appointed a committee. An appropriation of $2, 750 was made May 14, 1864, to provide for a bounty of $27.50 to all who should enlist in the three months regiments then called for. To meet the quota of call for 500.000 men, made July 1, 1864, the Supervisors on August 20, 1864, offered a bounty of $200. To meet this the sum of $80.000 was appropriated, together

with $2,000 additional for the relief of soldiers' families. The September meeting of the Board adopted a $325 bounty to drafted men or their substitutes, together with granting a $100 bounty to soldiers who reenlisted under the calls of the winter of 1863-4. To meet this liberal provision for the citizen sol- diers, a further sum of $10,000 was appropriated. The total of county appropriations was $235,908; the town of Lock- port appropriated $7,284; Lockport Village Association appro- priated $5,743 ; town of Florence, $10,075; town of Troy, $18,271; town of Wheatland, $9,340 ; town of Joliet, $40,000- total of official appropriations, $326,621. This was only a small proportion of the amount which the citizens of Will County paid out directly and indirectly for war purposes. The true or actual expenditure never can be known-the value of between five and six hundred citizen solders' lives can never be precisely estimated. The worth of women's work throughout the county was incalculable.
The old Artillery Company of Plainfield began reorgan- ization on April 14; took ont the old field piece, and awak- ened the echoes of Sumter in the West. Captain Hawley's Lockport Battery, though never mustered in, placed the first gun in position for the defense of Cairo, April 22, 1861. The Plainfield Battery entered the United States Service at Cairo, as Company K, and part of Company I. Tenth Illinois Infantry, in Brigadier-General Swift's Division.
Camp Goodell, on the old Fair Grounds, was established and tenanted by the Twentieth Illinois Infantry, May 11, 1861, with C. C. Marsh, Commander. The Twentieth Regiment was or- ganized here with C. C. Marsh, Colonel and Wm. Erwin, Lieu- tenant-Colonel. The uniforms for Hildebrant's Company were presented by the ladies of the county, and the Regimental flag by R. C. Goodell, and one to Company F by the ladies. This command took part in the Stephen R. Douglas funeral cere- monies, held at Joliet, June 10, was mustered into service June 13, and left en route for the field June 19. From this date for- ward to the eve of the peace, Joliet and indeed every village and township of Will county was alive with preparation for sending aid to the Union Armies in men, money and supplies.
The draft was introduced into the county in September, 1864, notwithstanding the great effort made to dispense with it. Ninety- four men are still required to fill the quota of the county. Substitutes are offered as high as $1,500, nor is the quota sup- plied before the news of victory everywhere is given to the people.
In the following regimental rosters names are given alpha- betically by companies, names of commissioned officers leading the roster of private soldiers. The reader is referred to the chronological history of the United States, given at the end of
