ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH.
In 1833, a bishopric was established at Detroit, which claimed jurisdiction over this region until 1837, when one was established at Vincennes. Ind., to which the northern portion of Illinois was assigned. While under this juris- diction and influence at Vincennes, Rev. J. Gueguen was missionary to the town.of Shields. When the town of Little Fort was laid out, with the advice of Rev. J. Gueguen, Messrs. M. Dulanty, M. Sutton, J. Mc Canna, T. Tiernan, T. McCaul, J. Dugdale and others were appointed to select a lot for a church edifice. On June 13, 1843, M. Dulanty purchased the two lots where the

church edifice now stands. A new bishopric was formed in 1844, and Bishop William Quarter assigned to it. The first clergyman here was Rev. Barnard Mc Garisk, under whose supervision the present church was constructed, in 1847. He was succeeded by Rev. J. Kane, who resigned in 1849, and was succeeded by Rev. Henry Coyle in 1849, who continued in charge until 1860. He was followed the same year by Rev. Michael Donahue, who was succeeded by Rev. E. W.

In 1846, Rev. R. H. Ranney officiated as clergyman in a building on Genesee street, known as Callaghan's building, just north of Dady's blacksmith shop. They were unable to secure his permanent residence here, and after his departure Bishop Chase appointed Rev. Wm. Allanson to a missionary charge, which included Little Fort. Mr. Allanson died at Waukegan June 18, 1849. and a vacancy existed until June 1850, when Rev. Mr. McNamara was called to take charge of the parish. It was newly organized, and Ransom Steele and Andrew Deacon were appointed the first Wardens. A. B. Coates, E. P. Ferry, W. H. Hills, David Lindsay and C. C. Parks were Vestrymen.

On November 11, 1857, a division of opinions resulted in a separation of forty-six members, which was the origin of the Presbyterian Church. Occasional services were held until January 1, 1860, at which time the church was newly organized and the pulpit filled until 1864 by - stated supplies." August 1, 1864, Rev. B. B.

CEMETERIES.
OAKWOOD CEMETERY,
situated in the southern part of the city, on the east side of Marion street, comprises about seventeen acres. The grounds were purchased by the city of Waukegan in 1851. They are laid out into large lots and wide and beautiful avenues and streets, to which are given appropriate names, and along which have been planted numerous shade trees of different varieties. Several costly and magnificent monuments and tombstones have already been erected, and the city is now building a large and commodious vault for the accommodation of those who may wish a temporary resting-place for the remains of their deceased friends. In the year 1866, an association was organized by the ladies of Wau- kegan for the purpose of improving and beautifying the grounds, and great and perceptible improvements have been made by them since their organization. It is under the control of the city officers and duly appointed sexton, to whom persons desirous of purchasing lots may apply.
CATHOLIC CEMETERY,
adjoining " Oakwood" on the north, comprises eight acres, beautifully laid out in lots and well shaded avenues, streets and walks. Numerous monuments and tombstones have been erected in the " silent city of the dead," which, for beauty of design and richness in construction, will compare favorably with those in the best cemeteries of the country. The cemetery is managed by a corps of officers to whom application may be made for lots.
LAKE COUNTY WAR HISTORY AND RECORD.
BY CHARLES A. PARTRIDGE.
NOTE BY THE AUTHOR.
To give a detailed narration of the events attending the enlistment of all the soldiers who went to the war from Lake County, and to follow them through the marches and skirmishes and sieges and battles, or into the hospitals and prisons, would require volumes. The reader, therefore, must not look for a history of individuals, except so far as given in the accompanying roster. That roster, copied from the report of the Adjutant General of the State, has been carefully gone through with, and much time and labor spent in making additions and corrections. The sketches of regiments embrace only those which had companies in them from Lake County.
In consenting to undertake the revision of the roster and the writing of these sketches, I confess to having mnade an under estimate of the work required. The military history, therefore, is not all that I could wish, but is as com- plete as I could make it in the limited time at my command.
But however crude and imperfect the narrative may be, I believe the sketches set forth the doings of the County in a connected manner, and will be of much interest, not only to the patriotic men and women who lived during the memorable epoch from 1860 to 1866, but to the children of these patriots, who must learn by reading-if they learn at all-what part Lake County bore in the War of the Rebellion.
The dawn of the y. ar 1861 found Lake County without the semblance of a military organi- zation. But the announcement of the fall of Fort Sumter aroused the people, and no time was lost in setting about to solve the problem as to what could be done to help to restore and save the Union of the States. The news was first received on Monday, April 15th, although there had been rumors of an engagement on Sunday. On Tuesday evening, a most enthusiastic war meeting was held in the Court House in Waukegan, the call for the meeting being issned by the lon. David Ballentine, then Mayor of the city. A. S. Sherman, Esq., acted as Chairman, and William H. Wright, Esq., as Secretary. Patriotic speeches were made by llon. H. W. Blodgett, Hon. J. S. Frazer, Hon. E. I'. Ferry, Rev. J. I. Ferree and Rev. James Selkrig. During the meeting, sev- eral persons enrolled their names as volunteers, amid much excitement and enthusiasm. On the Thursday evening following a second meeting was held in Dickinson Hall, which was largely attended by both Democrats and Republicans. 1. L. Clarke, Esq., called the assembly to order, the meeting organizing with the following officers : President, James Wiseman ; Vice Presi- dents, E. M. Dennis and D. H. Stafford ; Secretaries, E. B. Payne and E. D. Colgan. Short speeches were made by Daniel Brewer, E. B. Payne, J. J. Huntley, I. L. Clarke, George C. Rogers, J. S. Frazer, P. Munson, J. Dyhrenfurth, A. S. Sherman and Mr. Coy. Party feeling was entirely ignored, and the most intense Union sentiments were cheered to the echo. A finance committee was appointed to solicit funds with which to defray the expenses of organizing companies, and in a few hours $1,000 had been placed at their disposal. During the week enlistments continned, and at noon on Monday, April 22d, the first company of Lake County volunteers had completed their organization, and were aboard of the cars at Waukegan and en route for Chicago, being the first company to arrive in that city. The same evening, they were sent forward to Springfield, arriving there on Tuesday morning and being placed in quarters at Camp Yates. This company was known as "Company II, Waukegan Zonaves," and numbered some eighty-five members. At their organization they chose William Innis Captain : B. Frank Rogers, First Lieutenant, and Eugene B. Payne, Second Lientenant. Messrs. Innis and Rogers were from Chicago. and had formerly been members of the Ellsworth Zonaves, and were chosen as the first officers of the company because of that fact. The following persons composed the company :
James M. Duzenbury, Edgar M. Bullin, John 11. Maynard. A. E. Simons, John M. Hoyt. M. N. Brewster. R. G. Dyhrenfurth, E. H. Gilbert, Thos. McAllister, Washington Smith. T. P. Rockett, J. A. Gilbert, Hugh Berry. C. B. Ladds. C. F. Boardman. Wm. H. Kendall. Stephen

This company seemed to be unfortunate in its organization, and also in its earlier experiences in camp, many of the boys being seriously ill within a short time after their arrival at Springfield. There was, too, an evident lack of sympathy between their Chicago officers and the men, and, after a month of camp life, many more companies having offered their services under the call for volunteers for three months than could possibly be accepted, Gov. Yates ordered that they be disbanded and returned home. So far as we can learn, only one death occurred among these men-Oscar B. Douglas dying shortly after his return home, from disease contracted while in cnmp.
Sooner or later, nearly all of these men entered the service with other organizations.
Meanwhile in other parts of the county active preparations for the war were going on. War meetings were held at Antioch, Millburn, Wauconda, Libertyville and in other places. At the two places first named, several volunteers were enrolled in a company, organized in Chicago, with Hiram Hugunin, of Waukegan, as its Captain. This company was assigned as Co. K, of the Twelfth Regiment, and spent the greater part of their three months in the vicinity of Cairo.
A company was also organized at Libertyville, April 25th, composed largely of men from the south western part of the county, and known as the "Lake County Union Rifle Guards." They were officered as follows : Captain, J. B. Jones ; First Lieutenant, Geo. C. Rogers ; Second Lieutenant, J. S. Pratt, and were quartered in Waukegan for nearly two weeks before receiving orders to rendezvous at Freeport. During this time a neat gray uniform was procured at the expense of citizens, and the company attained considerable proficiency in drill under First Sergt. William Reid. Arrived in Freeport, the company was assigned as Co. I, Fifteenth Regiment, and sworn into the State's service for thirty days, it being found that no more troops could be accepted on the three months call. The company reorganized, and nearly all the men re-enlisting, and were re- cruited nearly to the maximum number. The regiment was mustered into the United States service, May 24th, and was the first regiment organized for the three years service in the State. After its organization, it proceeded to Alton, where it remained for six weeks, and then partici- pated in the campaign in Southwestern Missouri during the Fall and Winter. In February, it returned to St. Louis, embarking on transports and arriving at Fort Donelson on the day of the surrender, too late to take an active part in that engagement. It next marched to Fort Henry and embarked on transports for Pittsburg Landing, taking part in the memorable battle of the 6th and 7th of April, 1862. This was its first real battle, and its losses were very heavy. 252 men being killed or wounded.
It subsequently participated in the siege of Corinth, and during the summer guarded various points of importance in that vicinity. In the battle of the Hatchie, in September, it was actively engaged, losing 50 in killed and wounded. It then took part in most of the severe campaigning of Gen. Grant, and participated in the siege of Vicksburg, After the surrender of that place, it marched to Jackson. Natchez, Kingston, Harrisonburg and other points and assisted in the cap- ture of Fort Beauregard, on the Washita River. In February, it moved with Gen. Sherman through Mississippi to Meridian, having a severe engagement at Champion Hills. During the Spring of 1864, many of the members re-enlisted and visited home on veteran furlough. Upon their return, the regiment marched across the country to Huntsville, Ala .. where the non-vete- rans were mustered out.
