HISTORY OF WHITLEY COUNTY.

Ringgold, where it remained until May, when it moved on the Atlanta cam- paign. It fought at Dallas, Kenesaw and Lost Mountains, Chattahoochie River, near Peach Tree Creek. The Seventy-fourth on this campaign lost forty-six men. The regiment fought at Jonesboro, pursued Hood, fought at Rocky Creek Church. It marched around via Savannah, Raleigh, Richmond and Washington, D. C., and finally reached home during the summer of 1865. This was one of the best regiments from Indiana.

The Eighty-eighth Regiment reached Louisville late in September, 1862. On the 8th of October, the regiment fought like veterans at Champion Hills, losing heavily. It then moved to Nashville, thence to Murfreesboro, where it fought at Stone River, participating particularly in the last charge. Again the regiment suffered terribly. In the summer and early autumn of 1863, the Eighty- eighth fought at Hoover's Gap, Tullahoma, Hillsboro, Elk River and Lookout Mountain. On the 10th of September, it had a severe skirmish with Polk's command. It fought desperately three days at Chickamauga. It charged on Mission Ridge, and was personally complimented by Gen. Thomas. It fought at Graysville and Ringgold, and was on the terrible Atlanta campaign, fighting at Tunnel Hill, Buzzard Roost, Resaca, New Hope Church, Dallas, Kenesaw Mountain, Chattahoochie, Peach Tree Creek, Atlanta and Utoy Creek. The loss in this campaign was sixty-five killed, wounded and missing. The Eighty-eighth pursued Hood, and then moved to the sea with Sherman. It also went with Sherman north, fighting at Averysboro and Bentonville-loss at the latter thirty-nine. It started home via Washington, D. C., and was greeted all along the route by crowds of grateful people.

The One Hundredth Regiment, organized in Fort Wayne in August, 1862, took the field at Memphis, where it arrived on the 16th of November. It moved on the first Vicksburg campaign, but soon returned to Memphis, near where it was assigned guard duty. In June, 1863, it went with Grant, and participated in the siege of Vicksburg. It marched and fought with Sherman at Jackson, being under fire for five successive days. The regiment then marched to Big Black River, where it remained during the summer. In Sep- tember, it moved to Memphis, thence to Bridgeport, Ala., thence to Trenton, Ga., where it turned the left flank of Bragg's army. It moved to Chatta- nooga, and afterward fought severely at Mission Ridge, losing in killed and wounded the appalling number of one hundred and thirty-two men. It pur- sued Bragg to Graysville, thence marched to Knoxville, thence to Scottsboro, Ala., arriving there December 26. Within a few weeks the regiment had marched over eight hundred miles and had fought bravely, and was only half clothed and half fed-all performed without a murmur. The One Hundredth moved with the Atlanta campaign in 1864, fighting at Dalton, Snake Creek Gap, Resaca, Dallas, New Hope Church, Big Shanty, Kenesaw Mountain, Nickajack Creek, Chattahoochie River, Decatur, Atlanta, Cedar Bluffs, Jones- boro and Lovejoy's Station. It had marched and fought nearly one hundred

days. It pursued Hood, and then moved to the sea with Sherman, fighting at Griswoldville, Ga., reaching Savannah December 10, and moving through the Carolinas. It went to Washington, D. C., where it remained until June, 1865, when it was mustered out. The One Hundredth, during its term of service, lost 464 men, killed, died of wounds and of disease.

The One Hundred and Twenty-ninth Regiment took the field at Nash- ville April 7, 1864. . After several severe campaigns, the regiment took up its march on the Atlanta campaign. It fought at Dallas, and skirmished with the enemy for several weeks near Lost Mountain. The regiment was in a ter- rific fight at Decatur, losing heavily. It skirmished around Atlanta and at Strawberry Run, losing twenty-five men killed and wounded. It pursued Hood, moved to Chattanooga, to Nashville, joined Gen. Thomas, thence to Johnsonville and Columbia. Here heavy skirmishing was carried on, and soon after the regiment moved rapidly to Franklin, at which place, as is often said, the hottest conflict of the war took place. The One Hundred and Twenty- ninth lost very heavily. It returned to Nashville, where it remained until Decem- ber 15, 1864, when it moved out with Gen. Thomas and participated two days in the fight with Hood. It joined in the pursuit, but was soon conveyed to the Atlantic coast, landing at Moorhead City. It moved out skirmishing at first, but finally fighting with great desperation at Wise's Forks, losing very heavily. It did provost duty during the summer of 1865 at Charlotte. In August it was mustered out of service.

The One Hundred and Forty-second Regiment (one year's service) reached Nashville in November, 1864, and was assigned garrison duty. The regiment was at the battle of Nashville, when Thomas thrashed Hood, and was held as reserve. After the battle, it returned to Nashville, doing duty there until July, 1865, when it was mustered out.

The Fifth Battery Light Artillery, with six guns, took the field, near Louisville, November 29, 1861. It consisted of 148 men, under Capt. Peter Simonson. The battery was raised in Whitley, Noble, La Porte and Allen Coun- ties. After various movements, it won its first laurels near Huntsville, Ala., where it stopped several flying railroad trains of the enemy. The guns were put on locomotives, and sent down on the track to burn bridges, etc. The men were also used as scouts while here. The battery fought hard, at Stevenson, to pro- tect government stores. It fought desperately at Champion Hills six hours, losing two men killed and eighteen wounded, thirty-two horses killed and crip- pled and one caisson chest blown up by the enemy's shell. It was compli- mented by the commanding General. It skirmished with the enemy at Triune December, 1862, and finally participated in the fierce battle of Stone River. Early in the morning of the 31st of December (first day of the battle), the Fifth was terribly cut up, losing three men killed and sixteen wounded-one mortally-and thirty-two horses and two guns. The division commander paid the Fifth a high and merited compliment. In June, it skirmished heavily at

HISTORY OF WHITLEY COUNTY.

Liberty Gap, but afterward moved gradually southward with the main army, fighting at Pond Springs in September, losing one gun and several horses. It fought desperately nearly all the next day, and when ordered back lost another gun. While at Chattanooga, it lost one man killed, nine wounded and two prisoners, besides twenty-six horses and two guns. It was ordered to Shell Mound, where it remained on guard until February, 1864. In a reconnoissance on Buzzard's Roost, the Fifth fought again, but without loss. The battery, in the Atlanta campaign, fought at Tunnel Hill, Rocky Face Ridge, Resaca, near Adairsville, Kingston, Cassville, Pine Mountain (where the gallant Capt. Simonson was shot through the head with a musket ball), Kenesaw Mountain, New Hope Church, Hurst's Station, Peach Tree Creek, before Atlanta and at Jonesboro. The loss in these engagements was six men killed and six wounded. At Pine Mountain, the shot that killed the rebel Gen. Polk was fired from one of the Rodman guns of the Fifth Battery. The battery lost during the war nine killed, three mortally wounded, forty-eight wounded, twenty-one died of disease, prisoners three. It also lost four guns, but was one of Indiana's best batteries.

" We have no title deeds to house or lands ; Owners and occupants of earlier dates, From graves forgotten, stretch their dusty hands, And hold, in mortmain still, their old estates."

T THIS is indeed an age when men count lives by milestones and not by paces. The borning of yesterday has become the manhood of to-day. The mythologic era, when Minerva sprang in panoply from the brain of Jove, has found its counterpart in the sudden development of these once lately Wes- tern wilds.

" Life ripens in these later years, The century's aloe flowers to-day."

Come with me to the spire of your temple of justice, this glorious spring morning. From the purple chambers of the East, a modern Phaeton is rising from his couch to harness the fiery steeds of the sun, and take such a ride as the elder Phaeton never dreamed of. Over cities of a million souls, beside the classic seats of learning, among the mountains, round the valleys, until at eventide he shall water his foaming steeds in the peaceful waves near our Golden Gate. I know that we are an English, liberty-loving people, and an aggressive one, too, for I hear the twitter of the English sparrow, that goes where it listeth, and stands back for no bird of beauty or of song. I know that we dwell in the midst of a Christian civilization-for I can see four spires pointing heavenward, and the place for five more to point. I have been told in my researches among the archives of this people that the reason why they do not point is because they have already built as high as they own. I, however, look upon this as a base canard, suggested by denominational jeal- ousy. I know, too, that the schoolmaster is abroad in the land. There are four of him-the other five of him are schoolmistresses. I know that we are a quiet, law-abiding people, for I see to the southeastward an immense pile of hewn stones, whose windows are of tempered steel and whose doors are of iron, double jointed. And yet when I hear, now and then, of the escape of a pris- oner, I realize with crushing force the truth of the poet's statement,

" Stone walls do not a prison make, Nor iron bars a cage."

I look upon the busy marts of trade, I hear the hum of industry, I see the smiling faces of the children of our town, and my heart goes out in adora-

tion to Him who hath made these things possible to be. I say to myself, truly this is

" A land of settled government, and just renown,

Where freedom slowly broadens down, From precedent to precedent ;"

and a longing comes over me to know whence and how all these things have come to pass in so short a time. Let us trace, therefore, as well as may be, the life of this town and township for the little more than forty years since from nothing it has grown to what it now is.

Upon the 25th day of November, 1839, the Board of County Commis- sioners, consisting of Otho W. Gandy, Joseph Parrett and Nathaniel Gradeless, came to what is now the town of Columbia City, and the seat of justice of Whitley County, for the purpose of platting the town. Henry Swihart, County Agent, Richard Collins, Sheriff and Abram Cuppy, Clerk, came with them. Zebulon Burch was also of the party, and acting in the capacity of Commissary. The party stopped at the place where now stands the office of Jacob Ramp, in Block 7, Swihart's Addition to the town of Columbia City. At that time, the snow covered the ground. It was in the primitive days, and long before Prometheus had brought a second time fire from Heaven in the shape of Lucifer matches. It may be observed by the enlightened reader that Lucifer has not been in Heaven for a long time. The only excuse I can offer is that a country historian, like a spring poet, cannot afford to be too choice in the use of his similes and illustrations. Richard Collins, therefore, unlimbered him- self from his steed at the farm now known as the Essig farm, southwest of town about four miles, and where R. J. German then lived, and gathering from his hearth a tin pail of coals, bestrode again his foaming steed and carried the coals to the point of destination. This company proceeded to cut down timber and built a fire. Zebulon Burch then stretched a tent, and, amid the almost unbroken solitudes, the founders of this city lay down to rest.

Upon the next day, Thursday, the 26th of November, 1839, Richard Collins began the survey of the town plat, and proceeded with the same until Friday afternoon. At that time, Dr. Connell and Isaac Spencer were Com- missioners to view, locate and lay out the Lima & Huntington State road. They came to the camp where Mr. Collins was on Friday night. From that point south, there were no settlers until you reached the vicinity of Hunting- ton. Isaac Spencer was a staid old Presbyterian Deacon, who had that extreme reverence for the Sabbath which has latterly grown to be only a reminis- cence of the past. He would not work on Sunday. He, therefore, went back to the cabin of Richard Baughan, two and a half miles up Blue River. On Saturday Mr. Collins set Mr. Kromer, County Surveyor of La Grange County, and his hands at work surveying the town plat. On Saturday afternoon the snow had melted off. On Sunday morning, Richard Collins, who then resided near South Whitley, concluded to go home. At that date the only highways were Indian trails. He accordingly mounted his horse and struck out. Four

or five hours taught him that if there was nothing in the faith of Isaac Spencer, it at least kept a man out of trouble. For upon examination of his compass, the day having grown foggy, Mr. Collins found himself in the neighborhood of Fort Wayne. He thereupon proceeded to reef and tacked about until finally he reached South Whitley. And thus was begun what in time, we hope, may be an honor and glory to our commonwealth.

On the 1st day of February, 1840, one Elihu Chauncey appeared before William Milnor, one of the Aldermen of the city of Philadelphia in the Com- monwealth of Pennsylvania, and as such Alderman and ex officio Justice of the Peace, and in due form of law, executed a conveyance to Richard Collins, Trustee of Whitley County, Ind., which embraced these facts :

WHEREAS, Elihu Chauncey is the owner of a certain tract of land situate in Columbia Township, Whitley County, Indiana, which has been selected by Commissioners duly appointed, as the location of the county seat of Whitley County ; and,

WHEREAS, Elihu Chauncey hath agreed to appropriate and convey to and for the use of said county, one-half of the lots into which the site of said town has been laid off ; and,

WHEREAS, A plat or map of the said site has been made containing 28 squares, each square being subdivided into 8 lots, except Squares 21, 22 and 28, which are divided into 4 lots each, which map has been certified and acknowledged.

Now, in consideration of said premises and one dollar to him in hand paid, the said Elihu Chauncey releases and quit-claims to Richard Collins, all the lots numbered 3, 4, 7 and 8 in all the squares except 21, 22 and 28, and in 21 and 22, lots 3 and 4, and in 28, lots 1 and 2, to have and to hold the same forever to the use of Whitley County, as and for the location of of a county seat.

On the 4th day of May, 1840, the Board of Commissioners met at the house of David E. Long, in the town of Columbia, the county seat. Present, Otho W. Gandy, Joseph Parrett and J. G. Braddock, Commissioners ; Abra- ham Cuppy, Clerk ; and Richard Collins, Sheriff. On the 5th day of May, 1840, the following entry appears upon the records of said board :

Ordered, That Congressional Township 31, of Range 9 east, be organized as a civil town- ship, and call the same Columbia Township, and order an election of one Justice of the Peace in said town on the first Monday in August next, and appoint Raymond J. German Inspector of Elections therein. The election to be held at the house of David E. Long, in the town of Columbia, in said county.

The first election in this township was accordingly held on the 3d day of August, 1840. After a closely contested election, Elijah C. Osborn was elected Justice of the Peace, having received four votes to two votes cast for Raymond J. German. He failed to qualify, and Joseph W. Baker was appointed and qualified as the first Justice of the Peace. On the 6th day of September, 1841, at a special election, Horace Tuttle was elected Justice of the Peace to fill the vacancy occasioned by the resignation of Joseph W. Baker.

It is unfortunately true that the early records of the township of Columbia have been lost or mislaid, so that in this sketch it is impossible to give the names and periods of incumbency of the several township officers. In the early days, however, not much attention was paid to the political affiliations of a man when he was a candidate for a local office. The simple query asked was, " Is

he honest and capable ?" In the year 1844, the Democrats made their first purely party contest in the township, and succeeded in giving Jacob Wunder- lich in the county a majority of five, as against his opponents, Gillespie and Thompson. Jacob Thompson at that time was running what was called in those primitive days a tavern. He was exceedingly anxious to be elected Sheriff, and for that purpose opened up on the day of the election a free lunch table, and poured his free whisky out to the electors by the pailful. It was of no avail, however, for upon the final count he had only forty votes. A close observer of any election of recent date may perhaps have noticed that a portion of this ancient mode of electioneering has not wholly passed into disuse. He might also observe that there be yet electors who will drink one man's whisky and vote for another.
