HISTORY OF ST. JOSEPH COUNTY, MICHIGAN.
BURR OAK IN THE REBELLION
was prompt and efficient. She sent a company under Captain, afterwards Colonel, Ira C. Abbott, of the First Michigan Infantry, into the field to par- ticipate in Secretary Seward's ninety days' campaign, who were engaged in the first battle of Bull Run, the survivors of which re-enlisted for three years, when the First Regiment was reorganized after that bloody engage- ment. From that time forward her citizens rallied to every call made upon the township, filling its quotas promptly. They filled every position in the service, from the private soldier to the general in command of the brigade, and the eagles hovered on the shoulders of Abbott at the head of the First.
Bennett at Missionary Ridge and Newberry at Chickamauga, in the fight- ing Eleventh, paid the sacrifice of gallant officers who led where brave men dared to follow. Her soldiers fell by scores in the face of the foe, defending the flag they had sworn to uphold ; and their ashes now give new lustre and sweeter fragrance to the flowers of the sweet sunny south, beneath whose bright petals brave men are sleeping, alike unconscious of reveille and re- call. The bugle's blare or the stirring drum is alike unheeded, for beneath the leaden hail of traitors in arms they sank to their rest, that freedom and the Union might live and be perpetuated. These heroic men of Burr Oak are here named, as we have gathered their names and their history from the official records.
