mittee composed of Thos. E. Jones, Benj. Toner, Esq. Minor, A. J. Greenwell and H. S. Harbaugh reported the following resolutions, which were unanimously adopted :-

Whereas, We, loyal citizens of Livingstou county, in mass meeting assembled, viewing with distrust and mortification the present condi- tion of our once happy country, - and believing it to be the duty and interest of every citizen to put forth his every energy to stay the tide of fanaticism growing out of party, personal and sectional animosity, by the adoption and support of such a State and National policy as will harmonize the great interests of the American people - do hereby resolve :

1. That we are in favor of a restoration of the Union to its original integrity, and of securing to every part thereof every constitutional right ;

2. That we believe it to be the duty and to the interest of the State of Missouri to adopt the policy of gradual emancipation, with com- pensation to loyal owners of slaves, as indicated by President Lincoln in his address to the Border States;

3. That we nominate a full ticket for State and county officers on this policy, and pledge ourselves to use all lawful means to secure their election.

Speeches were made by Lieut. L. S. McCoy and Dr. J. H. Ellis, and the latter was nominated for State Senator from this district, then composed of Livingston, Linn, Sullivan and Putnam counties.

EVENTS OF THE YEARS 1863 AND 1864.

MURDER OF WM. P. FRAZER.

On the 1st of March, 1863, Wm. P. Frazer, a farmer living six miles southwest of Utica, was shot and killed by some person or per- sons at the corner of a field between the railroad bridge over Grand river and Utica, and near the block house at the bridge. The shoot- ing was done with a shot-gun, and the wounds were in the head and breast. An inquest held by Coroner Williams developed these facts : Mr. Frazer was a bachelor, a man of quiet, inoffensive habits, and there was no excuse for his cowardly murder. He was a " Southern sympathizer," and his murder was attributed to some of the unseru- pulous members of the militia. At the beginning of the war, how- ever, he was a Union man, and drilled the Utica Union Home Guards.

KILLING OF JOE HART.

About the 1st of July a bushwhacker, called Joe Hart, entered this county and began operations. His force numbered only half a dozen, and these operations were necessarily on a small scale. The real name of this guerrilla was Joseph Lawrence Hart. He entered the Southern army from Buchanan county, but deserted in the fall of 1862 and came to Missouri and engaged in bushwhacking. He was a fair scholar, wrote a neat lady's hand, and could favorably impress a stranger with his intelligent conversation if he wished. But Joe Hart was a thief, a robber and a murderer. Ostensibly a rebel and boast- ing of his implacable hatred of Yankees, he robbed and plundered the people of Clay county without regard to their politics ; a South- ern man's money was as good to him as a Yankee's, and a " rebel sympathizer's" horse was as useful as a militiaman's.

Driven out of Clay and Platte, Hart and his band drifted finally into this county. But their stay here was very brief. On. July 13 a detachment of militia came upon them in the northern part of the

(794)

795

HISTORY OF LIVINGSTON COUNTY.

county and dispersed them in short order. Hart was instantly killed. On his person was found, among other articles, a piece of poetry clipped from a newspaper, " We met, 'twas in a crowd," etc., and a letter to his parents which he had written but a few hours before, expecting to have it mailed at Chillicothe. Following is a copy of this letter : -

NEAR CHILLICOTHE, LIVINGSTON, Co., Mo., July 13, 1863.

DEAR PARENTS : Being up in this country with a body of Partisan Rangers on a raid, I have concluded to drop a few lines to you, letting you know of my health, which is fine, and also of my operations and of my brother George. I saw some boys and have some now under me, just up from the army, who saw George about the 20th of May, and after the battle of Cape Girardeau. He was well and in excellent spirits. John is dead. He was wounded at Springfield, January 8, 1863, and died soon after. Don't weep over him. He fell like a hero, and Marmaduke and MeDonald say that he never flinched amid the shower of balls which fell so thickly around him, but led the charge on the enemy with the coolness and gallantry of a veteran. Cols. Sweet and Parsons say that he was the shining star of the 15th Texas cavalry. At Pea Ridge his comrades say that he was always in advance, uncovered and exposed, yet unmoved and immovable. Gen. Henry McCulloch, brother of Ben McCulloch, says that he and Stillwell Shirley led the charge at Parakeet Bluffs, on Curtis' entire cavalry, routing them and killing 230, when their major failed to lead them. I, with you, will always mourn his untimely death, yet he could not have died in a better cause. He was a second lieutenant. George is now a first lieutenant.

I captured a lot of Andrew militia and killed several. The boys under my command caught Harrison Burns, George Henry and some one else, I don't know who yet, and killed them, as they refused to give up their arms, which were navy revolvers, and tried to shoot while in the house, when they were killed in the presence of the women. I could not help it. It was their own fault; they should have sur- rendered. We got four fine navy revolvers from them. They helped to murder George Breckinridge and old Sam Mason and shot Mrs. Mason in the arm.

You did not get out any too soon. I am going to cross the whole Quantrill regiment, and kill off Andrew county, every last devil, and they know it. You bet, they fly when they hear of me up here. They say I am a damned sight worse than Quantrill and that my men would sooner die than live. I captured $30,000 in greenbacks on my last raid from the Federal paymaster at Plattsburg. I think our boys killed Bill Ogle.

My headquarters are in Jackson county. Write to me and tell me how you are getting along, and where you are at. I may do some- thing for you. Don't come back. Tell me what post-office to direct to. Answer this immediately. Enclose it in a small envelope and

796

HISTORY OF LIVINGSTON COUNTY.

direct to Joseph Lawrence, then enclose in a large envelope and direct to James Butty, Liberty, Clay county, Mo., and don't sign your full name. Better just sign Emma. How had I better send you money, by letter, express, or special messenger? I will send you some some- time this summer. Tell me where my cousins are at, and who is in the army. Give my love to all

I was wounded in the head not long ago, but am well now. We, twelve of us, charged 71 Feds. with our navy revolvers, a few days ago, in Jackson, killing 40 some odd, capturing 50 breech-loading rifles, 54 or 55 navy revolvers, and about 60 horses, with their equip- age, and lost only 3 killed ; none wounded or taken prisoners.

I remain your son, JOE.

Capt. Commanding 1st Batt., 1st Regt. Frontier Line Brigade of Par- tisan Rangers, C. S. A.

Cousin Sallie : - I have directed this to you because I do not know where pa or ma are at. Please send it to them and oblige. I wrote to you last spring, but never received any reply. Yours, JOE.

Hart's account of the killing of 230 Federals at Paroquet Bluffs, of the 40 Federals in Jackson county, and of the capture of $30,000 from a Federal paymaster, were the wildest and most untruthful exag- gerations. The fellow was marvelously fond of gasconading.

On his body the following, among many other letters from the same writer, was also found. The initials are those in reverse order of Miss N. Virginia Kennison, of St. Joseph, who was Hart's lady- love : -

ST. JOSEPH, MO., June 15, 1863.

My Dear: - This will be the third letter I have addressed to you since I came here, which was three weeks ago. I was here when you wrote to inform me of your safety. Mr. received your letter, read it, and burned it. He says he is confident it had been ex- amined. I fear harm will result from it. Tell J. B. the lady in whose letter he inclosed me one is doing everything in her power to get me into trouble, and is trying to ruin his father's family. Tell him to look out ; there's breakers ahead. Write to me immediately. You don't know how I have suffered from anxiety,

Ever faithful, in haste, K. V. N.

Hart was killed by a squad of Co. K, 4th Provisional, under Lieut. David Gibbs, sent out from Spring Hill. The shot that killed him was fired by Wm. Matthews. The following account of the circum- stance was furnished at the time by W. C. Wood, a member of the company, to the Chillicothe Chronicle :-

797

HISTORY OF LIVINGSTON COUNTY.

Hart came into the forks last Thursday with Tom Crews and other desperate characters. Soon as the facts became known Lieut. Gibbs started a scout after them which returned Friday noon, without ac- complishing anything. On Sunday night another scout was started out on Clear Creek range and camped about midnight. Monday morning, at daylight, Lieut. Gibbs moved forward to the timber of Clear creek, in which the bushwhackers' trail was struck at the head of Coon creek, and after following a zig-zag trail for some distance the scout divided into two squads, one taking the Coon creek hills ; the other, consisting of seven men, followed up Clear creek and soon struck the trail of the guerrillas, six in number. They followed up rapidly among the deep hollows and thick brush, until within half a mile of old man Curtis' farm, when they were fired on by Hart and his men. Two rounds were fired at forty feet range, when our boys replied, raised the yell, and charged the steep bluff. The guerrillas broke and fled in the dense thicket after Hart fell. He was shot through the neck after taking two deliberate shots at one of our gal- lant boys who was in twenty feet range. Four horses, two 9-inch navy revolvers, overcoats, blankets, a piece of blue jeans, ete., were captured. On Hart's person were found his commission from Col. Parker, of Jackson county, a silk flag of Jeff. Davis' kingdom, a field- glass, memorandum book, etc. * Our boys helped bury Hart where he fell. On Monday night the gang stole three horses from Will Blackburn and Wash. Masterson, and our boys recaptured two of them on Wednesday.

THE " RADICALS " AND THE " CONSERVATIVES."

In the spring of 1863 began a series of controversies between the Union men of the county on the question of emancipation. One fac- tion called the Radicals or " Charcoals," indorsed President Lincoln's emancipation proclamation, " only regretting that it did not apply to Missouri," and favoring immediate abolition in this State. The other faction, composed of " War Democrats " and conservative men, did not indorse the President's proclamation and some were not in favor of emancipation at all. July 1 of this year the State Conven- tion (by a vote of 51 to 30) passed an ordinance abolishing slavery in the State after July 4, 1870, within certain provisions relating to minor slaves and those over 40 years of age. This ordinance was generally acceptable to the Conservatives, but was in disfavor with those of Confederate sympathies and with the Radicals alike; one was opposed to emancipation at any time, the other wanted it to come immediately.

A bitter quarrel arose between the Radicals and Conservatives throughout the State. Gov. Gamble and Gen. Schofield were Con- servatives, and the latter had the support of President Lincoln in his

798

HISTORY OF LIVINGSTON COUNTY.

administration 1 of affairs in Missouri. Gamble and Schofield were denounced by the Radicals, even as "Copperheads " and " rebel sympathizers," and sometimes the President was censured.

In Livingston county the Radical leaders were active and out- spoken. Their organ, the Constitution, was severe in its denuncia- tion of " Copperheads," and its editor, Howard S. Harbaugh, was a strong Abolitionist. Rev. T. B. Bratton, of the M. E. Church, was another strong Radical. In public speeches and meetings these two had used strong language in denouncing the authorities for their policy of conservatism, and about the 10th of July Gen. Odon Guitar, in command of this district, ordered their arrest on a charge of " seditious and revolutionary conduct," and they were taken into custody at Chillicothe, where Capt. T. B. Reed, of Guitar's old regiment, the 9th M. S. M., was provost marshal. A writ of habeas corpus was sued out for their deliverance before Judge McFerran, but the military refused to respect it, and the pris- oners were kept in confinement and ordered to be sent to St. Louis for trial.

The Radicals of the county were greatly excited over the arrest of Bratton and Harbaugh, and denounced it as a flagrant outrage, etc. Bratton was at the time presiding elder of his church in this district. A large number of the Union ladies of the county were members of a semi-political organization called the Union Ladies' Encampment. A committee of ladies from the Harper Union Ladies' Encampment of Utica, carrying the national flag and wearing red- white-and-blue sashes, came over to Chillicothe, ostensibly to inquire what the charges were against Rev. Bratton and Mr. Harbaugh, but really, perhaps, to make a demonstration that would result in their release. In a communication to the St. Louis Democrat the ladies gave the following account of their visit : -

We waited on Judge McFerran at the Harry House. The Judge was introduced by Rev. Mr. Ellington, accompanied by Col. Hale. We informed him who we were; that we had waited on him to ascertain the charges against Mr. Bratton, who was our minister and " grand worthy chief " of our encampment. The Judge said we had a right to call for the charges .; that he knew nothing of the cause of the arrest ; that Capt. Reed, of Gen. Guitar's regi-

1 To James Taussig, of St. Louis, who in May, 1863, presented to Mr. Lincoln some resolutions of Missouri Radicals, the President said: " The Union men of Missouri who are in favor of gradual emancipation represent my views better than those in favor of immediate emancipation." At the same time he said the two quarreling factions in this State " ought to have their heads knocked together."

799

HISTORY OF LIVINGSTON COUNTY.

ment, had made the arrests without his knowledge, which was assented to by Col. Hale ; that he would bring Capt. Reed, who could give us the desired information. * * *

The captain seemed much excited and angry ; taking a piece of paper from his pocket he demanded the names of our officers, which we commenced giving. We told him we would give the names of all our members if desired - which numbered about two hundred and fifty ; that our officers had been publicly installed on the Fourth of July at Utica. Hastily putting up his paper he arose and said we had no right to come and demand any such information. He ordered us to roll up our flag, take off the red-white-and blue sashes, and go home; said he would not give us any information about the arrests; that they were optional with him; then said they were in accordance with orders received from Gen. Guitar ; talked about our being revolutionary bodies ; supposed we protected all manner of crime ; asked if we did not know there was a law in Indiana break- ing up all such organizations, etc.

After making a great many similar remarks, which we suppose he would not have done if he had not been excited, he told us he would have given the desired information if we had come without the flag and colors. We then informed him we did not intend to roll up the flag or take off the colors, that he would have to do it himself if it was done, which he did not undertake. We then requested the privilege of seeing Elder Bratton, who was sent for, but he objected to sending for Mr. Harbaugh. Mr. Bratton advised us never to roll up our national flag. After all uniting in singing, " Rally 'Round the Flag," we withdrew.

The prisoners were finally released without trial. But the wrangle between the Conservatives and Radicals went on until President Lin- coln said : " Either would rather see the defeat of their adversary than that of Jeff. Davis." Because Col. Hale pursued a conservative and humane policy towards Confederate sympathizers and did not oppress them or treat them rigorously without cause, and especially because he did not interfere with slaves to liberate them, he was in ill-favor with the Radicals, who often denounced him as a " copper- head," and even as a " rebel sympathizer."

A great change had taken place in two years. While in the summer of 1861 there was less than two hundred men in the county ready to declare boldly that they were for the Union without an " if" or a " but," and only a mere handful favoring the abolition of slavery - in the summer of 1863 hardly a man could be found who would say he was not for the Union unconditionally, and hundreds were clamor- ing for immediate emancipation or abolition.

Judge James McFerran was especially detested by the Radical

800

HISTORY OF LIVINGSTON COUNTY.

element. He held three offices under the State government - judge of the circuit court, member of the State Convention, and colonel of the 1st M. S. M. cavalry. He was a Conservative. Coming to Chillicothe to hold a term of court Col. Judge McFerran found such a state of affairs that he decided it was unsafe to do so, and adjourned the term to a subsequent date. The Radicals held a large meeting and burned him in effigy.

Lieut .- Col. A. M. Woolfolk, of McFerran's regiment, and a citizen of Chillicothe, an original Union man, as noted elsewhere, had resigned his commission and returned home. He was a Conserva- tive, and while at Sedalia, in February, 1862, wrote and published a pamphlet, entitled, " A Voice from the Camp," which created a great sensation, and really led to the author's resignation. It took strong grounds against the President's emancipation proclama- tion, and hinted at the propriety of forming a northwestern confeder- acy, to be composed of States not then in rebellion and opposing abolition. Not long before Woolfolk wrote his pamphlet McFerran addressed him a letter proposing to resign the colonelcy of the 1st M. S. M. and to recommend him for the position. Mc- Ferran said he wished to devote his entire time to the circuit judge- ship ; but the Radicals gave him no credit for good intentions, and denounced both him and Woolfolk as a " brace of copperheads and traitors."

There were many disorderly scenes. August 8 a public meeting " of all Union men" was held in the public square at Chillicothe. Both Conservatives and Radicals attended. Dr. Dewey, of Spring Hill, presided. Radical speeches were made by Rev. Bratton, Mr. Harrington, of St. Joseph, and Daniel Proctor, of Caldwell. Strong Radical resolutions were adopted. Then the Conservatives called for Col. Hale, who responded in a speech defending Gov. Gamble's administration, the State Convention emancipation ordinance, and the " law and order " policy of the Conservatives generally. Mr. Rod- erick Matson, of Utica, then presented a set of Conservative reso- lutions and moved their adoption. The Conservatives cried out : " Good ! good ! Let us vote on them." The Radicals called for " Harrington," and some cheered for Jim Lane. There was a great tumult, in the midst of which a squad of Col. Hale's militia, armed and equipped, appeared, and Col. Hale called out to the Radi- cals : " If you don't keep quiet, I will use force." The Radicals subsided, and then Mr. Matson's resolutions were adopted. Each

801

HISTORY OF LIVINGSTON COUNTY.

side accused the other of disturbing the meeting and trying to break it up.

THE PROVISIONAL MILITIA.

The Provisional Militia of Missouri was organized under an order of Gen. Schofield, dated February 3, 1863. It was composed of details from the Enrolled Militia, one regiment of twelve companies being allotted to each military district in the State. The officers and men selected for service in the Provisional Militia were chosen for their alleged general efficiency as soldiers, and the idea originating the organization was that it would dispense with the services of the large. body of Enrolled Militia, which would cost too much if kept constantly in the field, and which was of but little utility when called out irregu- larly. The Provisional Militia was to be well armed and mounted and kept constantly in service, until finally relieved, and one company was expected to prove of as much value as a regiment of the E. M. M. In this district ( the fourth ) Col. John B. Hale was placed in command of the Provisional regiment, whose number (fourth ) was the same as that of the district.1 The companies were from the various counties of the district and the officers from different regiments. Co. K of the 4th Provisional was from Livingston and made up of details from the 65th E. M. M. Wm. Barnes was captain, A. J. Swain and David Gibbs, lieutenants.

In July, 1863, Col. Hale made his headquarters at Chillicothe. Three companies of the regiment were stationed in the county, Co. K was sent to Spring Hill, Co. G (Capt. John Field, of Grundy ), to Utica, and Co. B (Capt. Fortune, of Caldwell), to Chillicothe. In August Lieut. Wm. McIlwrath, of Co. D, 9th M. S. M. (Guitar's regiment ), came to Chillicothe as provost marshal of the sub-district.

The factional strife between the Radicals and Conservatives extended into the Provisional Militia. On one occasion Col. Hale arrested at Chillicothe a soldier who was trying to force a comrade to join him in cheering for Jim Lane; but the next morning the colonel discharged him with a reprimand. The same evening two other soldiers, members of Field's company, were shouting on the streets for the noted Kansas Abolitionist, and Hale ordered Capt. Fortune to take them into custody. Fortune's men, encouraged by Lieut. Orem,

1 The lieutenant-colonels were R. F. Dunn and A. J. Swain, both of Livingston county. When the latter became lieutenant-colonel John DeSha was appointed lieu- tenant of Co. K.

802

refused to make the arrest, and it was made at last by Lieut. Swain, and the men 'confined in the court-house.

Word of the arrest of two of their comrades was conveyed to Capt. Field's men at Utica, and in an hour or two the entire company came galloping into town, flourishing their weapons, and themselves shouting lustily for Jim Lane ! They declared they would rescue their com- rades " or die," but Col. Hale had already released them. The " Grundyites " then proceeded to " take the town," while the terrified citizens proceeded to " take " to their houses ! After charging wildly around the square and through the streets, cheering for Lane and "d-ning the man that won't," the company returned to Utica. Shortly afterwards Field's and Fortune's companies were relieved from service by Col. Hale and sent to their homes.
