JAMES L. MORROW, M. D.


Dr. Morrow was born in Highland County, Ohio, October 25, 1881. His parents were natives of New York. The ancestral stock from which the mother descended was of Scot- Jand-Irish extraction. The lineage of the father, extending back through several genera- tions, was clear English blood. His mother was related to the renowned Clinton family, of New York, that figured so largely during the Revolutionary period of our national history and subsequent years. His grandfather, on the mother's side, was in the federal army, and I articipated In that four days' march, memorable in history, from Whitemarsh to Valley Jorge. at which place Washington's patriot band spent the winter of 1777-78, the gloomiest yuriod in the history of the nation. In.years agone, Dr. Morrow has heard his mother relate 1 he following incident : After the army had established the camp; a detail of men were sent ('n as far as practicable to provide fuel for tho families of soldiers, and collect clothing and covering for the army. On his grandfather's place, the British foragers had left but two of a flock of sheep. His grandmother caused one to be killed, sheared the wool, carded it, spun it and knit it into socks, and then made the hide into moccasins for her husband. John T. Mor- row, the father of our subject, was a Lieutenant Colonel of a New York regiment in the war of 1812, and participated in several engagements, among others that of Plattsburg. For this service, in commou with the volunteers of that war, he received a warrant for a tract of land, which is located in Iowa, and is yet owned by the Doctor. The parents died at their home, in Highland County, Ohio, whither they had moved in 1818. The mother died in 1850, the father in 1863. In his youth, Dr. Morrow was favored with fair educational advantages, and received a liberal education. At the age of fourteen, he entered an academy, at Hillsboro, Ohio, where he remained five years, pursuing a classical course to graduation. He promptlybegan the study of medicine under Samuel Martin, M. D., a prominent practi- tioner at Xenia, Ohio. He afterward attended lectures at the Medical College of Oinfo, Cincinnati, whence he graduated March 3, 1853. Locating in Pike County, in what is known as the Scioto Valley, he pursued the practice of his profession. In March, 1853, he enme to this county, and located in the practice at Pittsburg. He rapidly established him- se'f in a lucrative business. In 1861, June 21, he was united in marriage with Miss Francis A Miller, a most estimable and intelligent lady, who is yet his companion in life.


When the tocsin of war sounded, the military spirit inherited from an ancestral line running through two great wars, was soon aglow with patriotic warmth. and even the then consummation of love's bright dreams (be it remembered the Doctor had just been married) did not suffice to deter him from responding to his country's call. He went Into the service August 4, 1862. as Assistaut Surgeon of the Seventy-Second Indiana Volunteers. In the final organization of the regiment, prior to moving to the front, August 15, he was com- missioned Surgeon with the rank and pay of a Major of cavalry. The regiment was first ordered into active service in Kentucky. Soon thereafter, he was detailed and assigned to duty on Gen. R. S. Granger's staff, as Medical Director of the Twelfth Division of the Department of the Ohio, a position he held with honor to himself and benefit to the service, until Gen. Granger was relieved from the command of the division. He was then assigned to a similar position on the staff of Gen. E. Dumond, and was especially charged with the supervision of the Frankfort Hospitals, which were then crowded with sick and wounded troops from both armies. He relates that In one day, just after the battle at Crab Orchard, 1,300 were admitted to the hospital. After spending three months in charge of the Frankfort Hospitals, he rejoined his regiment, at Gallatin, Tenn., which was ordered for- ward to re-enforce the ranks at Stone River. The regiment reached Murfreesboro three days after the terrible Stone River fight. Thence he went forward with his regiment, participat- ing in skinnishes and battles at Hoover's Gap, Ringgold, Rock Springs and Chickamauga. He accompanied his regiment on what is known among old soldiers as the " Wheeler Raid," and during that thrilling campaign acted as Brigade Surgeon. This raid furnished a rapid succession of skirmishes, and finally culminated in the severe and decisive engage- ment at Farmington. He then went to Huntsville, Ala., with his command. Soon there- after, on account of ill health, tendered his resignation. His resignation was accepted, and January 17, 1863, he was mustered out. Returning to Pittsburg he resumed the practice of medicine, and soon regained his lucrative practice. In 1880, he moved to Delphi, where he 13 now llving and pursuing his profession. He is regarded as one of the solid men of Carroll County.

JOHN G. TROXELL.


BY T. B. HELM.


Jobn George Troxeli, the subject of this sketch, was born in Jackson County, Ala., on the 3d day of December, 1830. His father, Michael Troxell, was of German ancestry, his parents having emigrated from the " Fatherland " some time in the latter part of the. eighteenth century, and settled in Gettysburg, Adams Co., Penn., where he was born, in the year 1798. His mother, Margaret [Merkle] Troxell, was of German origin, also, her parents having emigrated thence aud settled in Reading, Berks Co., Penn., where she was born in the year 1794.


When about nine years of age, Mr. Troxell, with his parents, emigrated to and settled in Carroll County, and from that time until the present has continued to reside here, his early life, after he was of a sufficient age to do so, was occupled for several years in business reia- tions with his father, in the town of Pittsburg, where the family resided. Subsequently, when they moved to the country, about the year 1849, his occupation was changed to comport with his change of situation. Prior to the date when his business life commenced, Mr. Troxell's opportunities for obtaining a business education were quite meager ; such as they werc, however, he improved them to the extent of the facilities afforded by the school system of that day. But, what was lost in school privileges, such as there were in those days, he was, in a measure, compensated for by the practical training, afterward, in the active duties of a successful business life. It has grown to a maxim, almost, and his experi - ence is not an exception to the rule, that the essentials of an education are the ablifty to adapt what is learned to the actual requirements of every day life. Hence, while there may have been a deficiency in the school privileges accorded to Mr. Troxell at the time when he should have enjoyed them, the result of his acquisitions in the training school of well appro- priated opportunities is well exhibited in the successful business life that has followed.


In 1861, when the proclamation of President Lincoln announced that the laws of our com - mon country had been set at deflance, and that the patriotism of the people was called into requisition for the purpose of maintaining the integrity of those laws, Mr. Troxell was among those who were willing to offer their lives, if need be, on the altar of sacrifice, that the nation mnight live. Accordingly, on the 10th of October, of that year, he enlisted as a private in Company "C," of the Forty-Sixth Regiment Indiana Volunteer Infantry, and with it participated in the vigorous campaign that followed, re-enlisting as a " veteran " at the close of the period of enlistment. Upon the organization of the regiment he was ap- pointed Orderly Sergeant, and served as such until the sd of April, 1862, when he was pro- moted to the more responsible position. of Second Lieutenant, and subsequently, on the 11th of February, 1863, to First Lieutenant. Again, on the 29th of July, 1863, he was promoted to Captain, to fill the vacancy occasioned by the resignation of Andrew B. Robertson the day previous. This last position he held until the 29th of December, 1864, when, under general order issued from the War Department to the effect that all officers, of whatever rank or grade. who had continued during three consecutive years in actual service, was entitled to a discharge. Constant service for more than that perlod having undermined his health, he availed himself of the privileges of that order, and tendered his resignation, which was accopted. In the meantime he had followed the fortunes of his regiment from the date of its organization until his resignation, as above stated, at Lexington, Ky., his record speak- ing for itself.


He was married on the 4th of April, 1865, in the city of Baltimore, Md., to Miss Mary E. Gosnell, daughter of P. H. and Elizabeth Gosnell, of that city, with whom ho still' lives, and is blessed with a small family of interesting children.


When the war cloud had passed over and he had assumed the relation of husband, he returned to his home in this county, and again entered upon the active duties of a busy farmer's life, engaging extensively in the cultivation of the soll on the paternal homestead, in the immediate vicinity of Pittsburg.


In October, 1868, he was elected a member of the Board of County Cominissioners, to represent the Third District. As such he served one terin, and during that period was chiefly instrumental in inaugurating a system of local Improvements that, while some oppo- sition was encountered during their progress, are accepted now as necessary and valuable. The prime feature of this system was the building of substantial iron bridges over streams crossed by principal roads, providing funds to pay for their constructiou by an advalorum tax. Under this arrangement iron bridges were erected spanning the Wabash at Pitts- burg, and the Tippecanoe River at the village of Springboro.


Within and during the past year, he was engaged in the construction of gravel roads. and has gained a good reputation as superintendent of that species of public work.


For many years, Mr. Troxell has been an active working member of Mount Oilvo Lodge, No. 48, Ancient, F. and A. Masons, and for over thirty years has held a membership in the Independent Order of Odd Fellows, having joined in the year 1851.


In all his social and business relations, he enjoys an enviable reputation, and his In- tegrity as a citizen and public man is above reproach.

CHAPTER XVII. MISCELLANEOUS REGIMENTS.


TWELFTH-FIFTEENTH -THIRTY-FOURTH -FORTY-FIFTY-FIFTY- FIRST-SIXTIETH-NINETY-NINTH -- ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY- EIGHTH AND ONE HUNDRED AND FORTY-SEVENTH REGIMENTS.


THE Twelfth Regiment of Indiana Infantry, re-organized for the three-years' service, was largely composed of volunteers who had re-enlisted, having had previous service in other regi- ments, and, of necessity, came from various parts of the State. Several of the companies, however, were composed almost wholly of ne": volunteers, who had enlisted at home and were brought in to make up the regimental complement. In several of the northern counties, companies were almost exclusively made up in single counties. The re-organization was made, pursuant to an order from the War Department issned on the 17th of May, 1862, at Indianapolis, on the 17th of August following, with William H. Link, of Fort Wayne, its old counnander, as Colonel. Soon after the re-organization was effected. the regiment was sent to Kentucky to resist the threatened invasion of that territory by Kirby Smith, and, on the 30th of August succeeding. participated in the battle of Richmond in that State, in which it lost 173 men in killed and wounded, including the Colonel, who died of his wounds soon after. A large proportion of the regiment was capt- ured and made prisoners, but were subsequently paroled. A con- siderable part of the time from the date the regiment re-entered service was occupied in marches through Kentucky, Tennessee and Alabama, finally reaching Vicksburg, and remaining in the trenches during the siege, having previously. during the preced- ing two years, composed a part of Logan's Fifteenth Corps of the Army of the Tennessee. In November, 1863. it took part in the battle of Mission Ridge, losing 110 men and officers. From the Ist of May. 1864, it was on active duty during the Atlanta cam- paign, losing in the aggregate of 240 men, killed and wounded, between Atlanta and Dalton. After taking part in the chase after Hood, it moved with Sherman's march to Savannah. It was finally mustered out on the 8th of June. 1865.


The following members of Company D of that regiment were furnished by Carroll County:

marching from that point to the place designated on foot, reach- ing there on the 11th of July, while the battle was in progress. participating in the pursuit of the enemy on the following day. During its career in the field, the regiment did efficient service in the several departments of duty to which it was assigned. By order of Gen. Thomas, it was directed to report at Indianapolis .on the 16th of June, 1864, to be mustered out. A portion re-enlisted, while others were transferred to the Seventeenth Regiment, and mustered out August 8. 1865. Of this regiment, Carroll County supplied:


John M. Jones, First Sergeant in Company K, promoted to Second Lieutenant November 22, 1862, and to First Lieutenant February 3, 1863: mustered ont July 6. 1864, term expired. :


THIRTY-FOURTH REGIMENT.


On the 16th of September, 1861, the Thirty-fourth Regiment of Indiana Volunteer Infantry was organized at Anderson, with Asbury Steele as Colonel. It was made of enlistments from sev- eral counties in the vicinity of the place of rendezvous, no com- plete company .being formed of volunteers from any one county. It left Anderson for Jeffersonville on the 10th of October, travel- ing by way of Indianapolis. At Jeffersonville it remained in camp until the 15th of November, when it was ordered to Now Haven, Ky .; thence to Camp Wickliffe, where it was stationed until February, 1862, moving thence to Green River. Subse- quently, it was ordered back to the Ohio, embarking at Elizabeth- town, with Gen. Nelsen's division, on transports: it went down the river to Cairo; thence to New Madrid. Mo., where it arrived on the 3d of March, and was engaged in the siege of that place until the evacuation, on the 14th. From that time forward, it was on active duty a large proportion of the tiine. Of Company H of this regiment, Carroll County furnished ::


Leander Creson, veteran, mustered out February 3. 1866.


Sammel M. Ramey, died June 23, 1863. of wounds received at Cham- pion Hills.


FIFTY-FIRST REGIMENT.


The Fifty-first Regiment was organized on the 11th of Octo- ber. 1861, at Indianapolis, where it was mustered into service on the 14th of December following, with Abel D. Straight. of In- dianapolis, as Colonel. Its first position was in a camp of in- struction at Bardstown, Ky. Moving from this point, it marched, in February, 1862, with Buell's army, toward Nashville, and en- camped there for a short time, afterward moving to the Tennessee River, reaching the field of Shiloh too late to participate in the battle at that point. In the siege of Corinth it took an active part, marching, after the evacuation. with Woods' division of the Army of the Ohio, through Northern Alabama. The regiment sudseqnently participated in the campaign in Kentucky, and was engaged, during the last day of December. 1862, and the 1st and 2d days of January, 1863, in the battle of Stone River, losing 5 killed, 36 winded and 8 missing- a. total loss of 49. The, regiment also was a component part of the provisional brigade organized by Col. Streight, and was present throughout the entire expedition under that officer, and in the action at Gaylesville, Ala., on the 3d of May, with the other portions of the brigade, it surrendered to the rebel forces under Gen. Forrest. As prisoners of war, they were confined for several months in Libby Prison. They were afterward, paroled' for exchange and went into camp at Indianapolis until the ex- change was consummated, when it again entered the field, join- ing the army at Nashville. A portion of the regiment re-enlisted as veterans, and continued in service. until April, 1865, when they were mustered out. The volunteers who did not re-enlist were


innstered oat at the expiration of their term. Carroll County furnished the following members of Company I:


George Fellers, minstered out December 13, 1865; drafted. John W. Foutz, mustered out December 26, 1865; drafted. John Quinn, mustered out October 19, 1865; drafted.


Emannel II. Rotraff, died at Jeffersonville January 1, 1865; drafted. Joseph N. Snell, mastered ont November 14, 1865; drafted. David Welty, died December 28, 1864, of wounds; drafted.


SIXTIETH REGIMENT.


Orders having been issued authorizing Lieut. Col. Richard Owen to recruit a regiment to rendezvous at Evansville, the move. ment was but partially successful, only an incomplete organiza- tion taking place at that point, in November. 1861. Before the organization was perfected. the companies instered in were, on the 22d of February, 1862, ordered to Camp Morton to guard rebel prisoners. In the month of March. while on duty at that point, the quota was filled out, and. on the 11th, was mustered into service-a number of the latter companies being made up of the miscellaneous recruits .without designating the county whence they came. William B. Givens, of Delphi, was commis- sioned as Captain of Company K on the 10th of December, 1861, but the company was not mistered in until April 17, 1862. How many of the recruits of this company belong properly to Carroll County it seems impossible now to definitely state- many of then. without doubt After being in service about one year, Capt. Givens resigned, April 2 .. 1863. and re-entered as Captain of Company M. Eleventh Cavalry.
