HAZZARD'S HISTORY OF HENRY COUNTY.
BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH OF JOHN ROWDY MCCORMACK.
PRIVATE, COMPANY 1, 69TH INFANTRY REGIMENT, INDIANA VOLUNTEERS.
John Rowdy McCormack was the eldest son of Melon and Mary McCormack. and was born in Henry County. Indiana, on his father's farm, about two miles west of Cadiz. The parents came from Virginia and settled in Henry County at a very early date.
That the family was full of patriotic blood is shown in the fact that the subject of this sketch was one of four brothers, all of whom served in the Federal Army during the Civil War. The second son. Thomas McCormack, of Company K. 8th Indiana Infantry ( three years), was killed at Vicksburg, Mississippi, on the 21st day of May, 1863. The third son, Noah McCormack, of Company C. 36th Indiana Infantry, went through all the campaigns of that well known regiment and upon the muster out of the regiment. September 21, 1864, returned home where he still lives, an honored citizen of the county. The fourth son, Andrew J. McCormack, of Company E, gth Indiana Cavalry, is a survivor of the ill-fated steamboat, Sultana, which was blown up, set on fire and destroyed on the Mis- sissippi River, April 27. 1865. His recollections of that tragic event are published elsewhere in this work.
John R. McCormack, the subject of this sketch, enlisted in the service of his country in Company I, 69th Indiana Infantry, and was mustered into the service of the United States. August 19. 1862. At the battle of Richmond, Kentucky. August 30. 1862. he was severely wounded and was taken prisoner with the greater part of his regiment. After the regiment had been exchanged and re- organized, it was sent down the Mississippi River to serve under General Grant. After the siege and surrender of Vicksburg, he was taken sick and died at that place. August 11. 1863. His body was buried at Milliken's Bend. Louisiana, but has since been re-interred among the unknown dead in the National Cemetery at Vicksburg.
In 1850 John R. McCormack was married to Nancy Baughan and to them was born one child, now Mrs. Richard Callahan, who lives two and one-half miles southwest of Cadiz. His wife died in 1855. He was a carpenter by trade. honorable and upright. a good citizen, a brave soldier, highly esteemed by all of his friends and neighbors, and his memory preserved and honored by his com- rades in arms.

HAZZARD'S HISTORY OF HENRY COUNTY.
BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH OF JEROME BONAPARTE MASON,
SECOND LIEUTENANT COMPANY F, 84TH INFANTRY REGIMENT, INDIANA VOLUNTEERS.
Lieutenant Jerome Bonaparte Mason, son of Daniel and Nellie Mason, was born in the year 1837 at Knightstown. Indiana, but the exact date of his birth is not now obtainable.
He was a brave, intrepid soldier and the first commissioned officer from Knightstown and Wayne Township killed in the Civil War. Because of this fact and to do honor to his name, the G. A. R. Post at Knightstown was named the "Jerry B. Mason Post." "Jerry" being the name by which he was familiarly known, but his correct name was as it appears at the beginning of this sketch. He was instantly killed at the famous battle of Chickamauga, Georgia, on Sun- day afternoon, September 20, 1863, at which time, being attached to the staff of General Walter C. Whitaker, who commanded the brigade, he was in the act of carrying a message from the latter's headquarters to the headquarters of the division commander, when he was struck in the forehead by a shell and the top of his head torn off. When at home on furlough a short time before this tragic ending of his life, he told his wife and two or three of his friends a dream he had and at its conclusion stated in bidding them goodbye. "I will never see you again." The vision showed him with particularity the scene of the battle, what he was doing at. the time and how he would be killed, and curiously enough was in accordance with the facts as they afterwards transpired.
