HAZZARD'S HISTORY OF HENRY COUNTY.
The following is the correspondence between General U. S. Grant and General R. E. Lee, which resulted in the surrender of the Confederate Army of Northern Virginia at Appomattox Court House, Virginia, April 9th, 1865, thus practically ending the Civil War :
I.
"April 7, 1865.
"GENERAL :- The result of the last week must convince you of the hopelessness of further resistance on the part of the Army of Northern Virginia in this struggle. I feel that it is so, and regard it as my duty to shift from myself the responsibility of any further effusion of blood, by asking of you the surrender of that portion of the Confederate States army known as the Army of Northern Virginia.
"U. S. GRANT, Lieutenant General.
"GENERAL R. E. LEE."
II.
"April 7, 1865.
"GENERAL :- I have received your note of this date. Though not entertaining the opinion you express on the hopelessness of further resistance on the part of the Army of Northern Virginia, I reciprocate your desire to avoid useless effusion of blood, and therefore, before considering your proposition, ask the terms you will offer on condition of its surrender.
R. E. LEE, General.
"LIEUTENANT GENERAL U. S. GRANT."
III.
"April 8, 1865.
GENERAL :- Your note of last evening, in reply to mine of same date, asking the condition on which I will accept the surrender of the Army of Northern Virginia, is just received. In reply, I would say, that peace being my great desire, there is but one con- dition I would insist upon, namely, that the men and officers surrendered shall be dis- qualified for taking up arms against the Government of the United States until properly exchanged. I will meet you, or will designate officers to meet any officers you may name for the same purpose, at any point agreeable to you, for the purpose of arranging definitely the terms upon which the surrender of the Army of Northern Virginia will be received. U. S. GRANT, Lieutenant General.
"GENERAL R. E. LEE."
IV.
"April 8, 1865.
"GENERAL :- I received, at a late hour, your note of today. In mine of yesterday I did not intend to propose the surrender of the Army of Northern Virginia, but to ask the terms of your proposition. To be frank, I do not think the emergency has arisen to call for the surrender of this army; but as the restoration of peace should be the sole object of all, I desired to know whether your proposals would lead to that end. I cannot, therefore, meet you with a view to surrender the Army of Northern Virginia; but as far as your proposal may affect the Confederate's States' forces under my command, and tend to the restoration of peace, I should be pleased to meet you at ten A. M. to- morrow on the old stage road to Richmond, between the picket lines of the two armies. "R. E. LEE, General.
"LIEUTENANT GENERAL U. S. GRANT."
V.
"April 9, 1865.
GENERAL :- Your note of yesterday is received. I have no authority to treat on the subject of peace; the 'meeting proposed for ten A. M. today could lead to no good. I will state, however, general, that I am equally anxious for peace with yourself, and the whole North entertains the same feeling. The terms upon which peace can be had are well understood. By the South laying down their arms they will hasten that most desirable event, save thousands of human lives, and hundreds of millions of property

not yet destroyed. Seriously hoping that all our difficulties may be settled without the loss of another life, I subscribe myself, etc. "U. S. GRANT, Lieutenant General. "GENERAL R. E. LEE."
VI.
"April 9, 1865.
"GENERAL :- I received your note of this morning on the picket line, whither I had come to meet you, and ascertain definitely what terms were embraced in your proposal of yesterday with reference to the surrender of this army. I now ask an interview, in accordance with the offer contained in your letter of yesterday, for that purpose.
"R. E. LEE, General.
"LIEUTENANT GENERAL U. S. GRANT."
VII.
APPOMATTOX COURT HOUSE, Virginia, April 9, 1865.
"GENERAL :- In accordance with the substance of my letter to you of the 8th instant, I propose to receive the surrender of the Army of Northern Virginia on the following terms, to-wit: Rolls of all the officers and men to be made in duplicate, one copy to be given to an officer to be designated by me, the other to be retained by such officer or officers as you may designate. The officers to give their individual paroles not to take up arms against the Government of the United States until properly exchanged; and each company or regimental commander sign a like parole for the men of their commands. The arms, artillery, and public property to be packed and stacked, and turned over to the officers appointed by me to receive them. This will not embrace the side arms of the officers, nor their private horses or baggage. This done, each officer and man will be allowed to return to his home, not to be disturbed by United States authority so long as they observe their paroles and the laws in force where they may reside.
"U. S. GRANT, Lieutenant General. "GENERAL R. E. LEE."
VIII.
"HEADQUARTERS ARMY OF NORTHERN VIRGINIA, April 9, 1865.
"GENERAL :- I have received your letter of this date containing the terms of sur- render of the Army of Northern Virginia as proposed by you. As they are substantially the same as those expressed in your letter of the 8th instant, they are accepted. I will proceed to designate the proper officers to carry the stipulations into effect.
"R. E. LEE, General.

HAZZARD'S HISTORY OF HENRY COUNTY.
BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH OF WILLIAM GROSE,
PIONEER, LEGISLATOR, JUDGE, COLONEL, BRIGADIER GENERAL AND BREVET MAJOR GENERAL U. S. V.
The subject of this memoir, General William Grose, was first called to arms at Dayton, Montgomery county, Ohio, on December 16, 1812. He was the hardy descendant of a hardy race. Indeed, looking back upon the environment of the pioneer, it could be claimed that he was a hero at the start-one of the fittest by natural endowment to cope with stern conditions. At maturity General Grose was a man of commanding stature. His head was high and well set, eyes dark and eloquent and his countenance was stamped with kindness and resolution. His father came from a patriotic family of Pennsylvania. His mother, whose maiden name was Mary Hubbell, was from the state of New Jersey, and is said to have been of equally heroic stock. Both of his grandfathers served in the War of the Revolution, and his grandfather Grose was killed while in that service. The father of General Grose was a soldier during our last war with England, in 1812-15, and served under William Henry Harrison. With his parents, when but an infant in arms, he arrived at Fayette county, Indiana, in 1813. But in 1829 the family took up their residence about six miles from New Castle, near New Lisbon, becoming identified with the early settlement of Henry County, which was the home of General Grose throughout his subsequent career. At this period of his history young Grose was known as a hardy, energetic man, exhibiting those traits which most win the good will and confidence of men. He was one of a large family of children, the sons of which helped to clear the forest and till the soil. He ruled the circumstances of his own life. Very early he began to carve his way out of the wilderness toward order and competency. Like Washington, Lincoln and Grant, he too could wield the historic axe. Chopping cord-wood and hauling merchandise from Cincinnati to New Castle, a distance of one hundred miles, gave him the first lift toward the larger ambitions of his later years. It is almost needless to note that his opportunities for an early education were meagre, but for the defects of time and place his extraordinary efforts made ample amends. How well he stood the tests that mark a man as educated among his fellows, is written upon the noble story of his life. His language was plain and persuasive, his man- ners refined and courteous. He gained the power to concentrate his attention upon the subject in hand and he possessed large capacity for growth. Against the discouragements of his lot, ever struggling forward, he pursued his studies in his spare hours as best he could. Soon his aptitude for intellectual achievement led him to the door of the law, where he entered in 1834, but not until twelve years later, at the age of thirty-three, did he pass the examination admitting him to practice in the supreme court of the state. Thus briefly may be told his struggle through those long preparatory years, at the end of which we find him eager and worthy to master the wider problems of life. He continued the practice of his profession until the Civil War broke out and resumed that calling upon his return home, gaining a full share of the rewards of toil. He is said to have been a fluent and popular public speaker, taking an active part in politics during the campaigns of Jackson and VanBuren, advocating, as a staunch Democrat, the principles to
138
HAZZARD'S HISTORY OF HENRY COUNTY.
which his party stood pledged; and that he could force an argument home with grace and precision, no one need doubt. He remained a Democrat in political faith up to the time of Pierce's administration, when Douglas, who voted for the Kansas-Nebraska bill, declared: "I could travel from Boston to Chicago by the light of my own effigies." But, behold, in 1856 this nebulæ became focused and a new star arose in the national sky, and General Grose came into his own and remained loyal to the Republican party during the remainder of his life, having been one of the delegates in the convention at its organization. He was a mem- ber of the legislature in 1856-57, and in 1860 was elected judge of the common pleas court, a court for the transaction of probate business, but finally abolished and its jurisdiction transferred to the circuit court. From this office, at the request of Governor Oliver P. Morton, he passed to the pursuits of war, contributing his best strength to the abolition of the slave power and to the perpetuity of the union. He also held many minor offices, among which we find that he was elector for the Fifth Indiana Congressional District on the Democratic ticket in 1852, and post- master at New Lisbon for some years.
The Thirty Sixth Regiment was organized at Camp Wayne, near Richmond, August 30, 1861, and William Grose was made Colonel by Governor Morton and was mustered into the service of the United States September 16th following his appointment. "Then began the hard task of trying night and day to cease to be citizens and learn to be soldiers." The measles was the most serious foe the regi- ment encountered during those first months, except fear that the war would close before they should win a fight. But the longed-for moment arrived and the Thirty Sixth had its first taste of the wine of war at Pittsburg Landing on Sunday evening, April 6, 1862. After the battle of Shiloh, which lasted all day Sunday and Mon- day, Colonel Grose wrote home saying, "I feel proud of my officers and men and shall leave it to them to say whether I said, 'Come,' or 'Go, boys.'" General Nelson answered this question by promoting Colonel Grose to the command of the Tenth Brigade, of which his regiment formed a part, it having been assigned to the Fourth Division of Buell's army, under General Nelson, which brigade, previous to Grose, had been commanded by Colonel Jacob Ammen. The story of the Thirty Sixth Regiment is told elsewhere, and through it are traced the fortunes of General Grose in war. He was the hero of one hundred days of continuous fighting, during his last, the Atlanta campaign. He was in command of a regiment, a brigade, or a division to the end of the war, and was commissioned Brigadier General of volun- teers in July, 1864, and Brevet Major General in August, 1865. He took part faith- fully and bravely in all the battles of the Army of the Cumberland, Shiloh, Stone's River, Chickamauga, siege of Chattanooga, Lookout Mountain, and on through the hard-fought Atlanta campaign, to Nashville. Upon two occasions the General's horse was shot from under him, but he escaped as usual, although repeatedly sharing dangerous positions. Twice did he receive a gunshot wound, which injuries in after life were always a source of much suffering. It is a record of which the Thirty Sixth Indiana may well be proud. There is but one voice as to General Grose's devotion to duty. All vouch for his splendid record as a leader of men in action. After the regiment was mustered out General Grose was detailed as president of a court martial to sit at Nashville, Tennessee, by order of General
139
HAZZARD'S HISTORY OF HENRY COUNTY.
Thomas. On June 6, 1865, he took formal leave of his troops. A part of his fare- well address reads: "Take home and into the future with you the heart-felt gratitude of your humble commander for his lot having been cast with such valiant soldiers and kind-hearted gentlemen." And throughout his official reports he speaks of his "boys" in words of warmest praise.
Returning to New Castle at the conclusion of his services, he was appointed, on January 1, 1866, collector of the internal revenue for the Fifth District, which post he filled for eight years, discharging his duties with honest fidelity. For a number of years he was one of the commissioners for building hospitals for the insane, having special charge of the East Haven Asylum. In 1888 he was elected joint state senator for the counties of Fayette and Henry. The enthusiasm of his later years was addressed to all matters of public moment, and he took particular pride in the reunions of the Thirty Sixth Regimental Association, over which he was chosen president as by one vote.
He was twice married,-on December 22, 1836, to Rebecca Needham, the mother of his children, and February 17, 1884, to Mrs. Martha Black. Of his children, four are still living: Sarah Margaret, wife of John M. Moore, of Albuquerque, New Mexico; Almira Ella, wife of Courtland C. Clements, of Washington, D. C .; the living sons are Adolphus, of Chicago, Illinois, and James L., of Los Angeles, California. On May 23, 1879, William Grose and his wife Rebecca were parted by death, after forty-two years of wedded life. She died loving and beloved. Mrs. Martha Grose, who was the widow of Dr. Black, of Delaware county, resides at New Castle. She is a charming lady, youthful for her years and very devoted to the memory of her distinguished husband, General Grose, with whom she passed seventeen happy years.
In his religious views General Grose was not pronounced, but he often at- tended the services of the church and contributed to its charities, voicing his loyalty more by deed than by word. He was a member of the order of Masons and of the Grand Army of the Republic. During the last five years of his life his vigor gradually declined, but he lived until his years numbered four score and seven. He died on July 30, 1900.
General Grose had two sons and one son-in-law who served faithfully in the Civil War and whose records are as follows :
Madison Grose, New Castle. Corporal, Company B, 8th Indiana Infantry (3 months). Mustered in April 25, 1861. Mustered out August 6, 1861. Principal Musician, 36th Indiana Infantry.
