tember 21, 1861, in Company A, Twenty-first Ohio Infantry, and was mustered into the service at Camp Lyon, Worthington, Ohio, when he was immediately ordered to the front. In the spring of 1862, on arriving at Cincinnati, he was ordered to Paducah, Ken- tucky, and was there detailed as teamster. His regiment participated in the battle of Shiloh, where it lost heavily, this being one of the first regiments fired on by the Con- federates. From there the regiment was or- dered to Corinth, where it was joined by our subjeet, and took part ina two weeks'skirmish. Mr. Roebuck then went with his regiment to Moseow, Tennessee, where almost all of his company were taken prisoners. This eap- ture was accomplished by a very cowardly device. The rebels had brought into the Federal eamp prisoners for parole, and on their return had captured the Federal pick- ets, inelnding the Captain of Company A. They were, however, soon paroled and joined their company. The regiment went to Mem- phis, Tennessee, where Mr. Roebuck was de- tailed as teamster, a duty he performed about three months, when he again joined his regiment and started for Vicksburg, Missis- sippi. Their supplies were ent off at llol- low Springs, which forced them to return to La Grange, Tennessee. From Tennessee the regiment went to Vicksburg by water, where Mr. Roebuck took part in that hard-fought battle. The regiment then proceeded to Jackson, Mississippi, taking part in that hotly contested battle. Mr. Roebuck was here detailed to drive a division train while his regiment returned to Memphis. Our subject subsequently went to Chattanooga, and all along the march took part in engage- ments and skirmishes. Ile participated with his regiment in the engagements at Kene- saw Mountain, Pigeon Roost and Missionary Ridge. In the advance at Missionary Ridge
Mr. Roebuck was badly injured, having been run over by a heavily loaded wagon drawn by six mules, on account of which he was sent baek to Bridgeport, thence to Nashville, which place he left and joined the wagon train at Bridgeport. Ile was then appointed wagon master, and served faithfully in this position almost a year. From Bridgeport he went to Scottsborough, where the regiment veteranized, then returned home on a thirty days' furlough. During the absence of his regiment Mr. Roebuck went to Tennessee and was engaged in the battle of Pigeon Roost, where the Union forces suffered defeat. Ile then returned to Bridgeport with the wagon train which he had in charge. In the spring of 1864 he participated in the Atlanta cam- paigu, fighting along the march, and was engaged in the two days' fight at Atlanta, the 22d and 28th of July. He was also at the engagement at Eastport, which was the last battle seen by him, and here he had the sat- isfaetion of seeing the rebels retreat after making a desperate and persistent charge, the huzzas of the Union soldiers on this oc- . casion drowning the din of cannon and mus- ketry. Shortly after this battle Mr. Roebuck was mustered out of the service, receiving an honorable discharge September 20, 1864. Upon his discharge paper is the endorsement of the time he was mustered for final pay, dated September 28, 1864, and signed by W. G. Tanell, paymaster, United States Army. After the war Mr. Roebuck returned to St. Mary's Township, Adams County, and June 21, 1865, he was married to Lucinda Cather- iue Ellis, a daughter of William and Phoebe (McDorman) Ellis, who were pioneers of Ohio. Mrs. Roebnek was left an orphan when only five years of age.

Mr. and Mrs. Roebuck lived at St. Mary's, Ohio, after their marriage until 1867, when they came to St. Mary's Township, Adams County, Indiana, and settled in the village of Pleasant Mills, where Ebenezer engaged in blacksmithing, and is now engaged in the lumber business and operating a saw-mill at the same place. Ile is a member of Sam Henry Post, No. 83, G. A. R., at Deeatur. Mrs. Roebuck is an earnest member of the Baptist church.

They came to Indiana in the spring of 1840, and settled on seetion 1, Wabash Township, Adams County, where the father entered 160 aeres of land, residing on this farm till his death, which oeeurred January 18, 1875, aged seventy-four years and three months. The mother died December 3, 1854, aged forty-five years and eleven months. The father was a thorough, practical farmer, and by his industry and good man- agement he was enabled to add to his original purchase until he owned at one time 360 aeres. Ile was an enterprising and publie-spirited citizen, and always took an active interest in the advancement of his township or county. When he first came to Adams County he was obliged to go to Fort Wayne, Allen County, to mill.
