AMBROSE PORTER.
T THE subject of this sketch, Ambrose Porter, of Phelps City, Mo., is a man out of the ordinary, as regards citizenship and service rendered his country. Thrown on his own resources when quite young, we may say his attainments and accomplishments, as a result, wholly, of his own efforts, have resulted in a successful life.
Mr. Porter's parents were Henry and Lydia ( Majors) Porter. natives of the state of Maryland, and he was born in Alleghany county of that state, Feb. 2, 1839, and is the tenth of a family of eleven children. Until he was eight years old he was with his parents on a farm in Ohio, where they had moved from their native state when he ( Ambrose) was five years old. After residing on the farm in Ohio about three years his father died and his mother moved to town. At the age of seventeen he began working at the carpenter's trade, which occupation he followed until he entered the army. However, in 1858 he came to Atchison county, Missouri, and engaged in farming in connection with carpentering. On Oct. 14. 1861, he enlisted in the six-months service of the Union army, and was mustered out in February, 1862: re-enlisted March 5, 1862, in the 5th Missouri, and was mustered out Inne 22, 1863. Veteranized in the 12th Missouri cavalry; commissioned First Lieutenant in the 88th U. S. C. I., and was later transferred to the 3rd U. S. C. H. ; was finally mustered out April 30, 1866. He is a member of James Karnes Post. G. A. R., Rock Port, Mo., and his government recognizes his services in the civil confliet by having his name enrolled on the pension list. That he did his duty as a soldier and was exceptionally brave in the performance thereof is a matter of remark by his old comrades when they recount the incidents of war times. On one occasion did he especially distin- guish himself. The command in which he was serving had driven a regiment under General Forest across the Talahatchie river. in Mississippi, when the Colonel rode in front of the firing line and called . for volunteers to swim across the river and get a flat-boat, so that the river could be crossed and the enemy pursued. This was an exceedingly dangerous undertaking, considering that there was con- tinuous and heavy firing by the enemy on the opposite side of the stream. The horse which the colonel rode was shot while he called for volunteers. Mr. Porter and three others responded to the

call, and, plunging into the river, swam across and got the boat. On the day following, the brave volunteers were called in front of the army and publicly complimented. Regarding this incident the following order was also issued by the commanding officer:
