The Judge was a strenuous worker, a great student, a clear thinker and a profound lawyer. He had no other business, his whole time being directed to his chosen profession. He thoroughly prepared his papers and was never taken by surprise by opposing lawyers, for he knew both sides of his cases.

He also had a high sense of professional honor and was a man of much integrity. He always honored his profession as a lawyer of dignity and character. As a citizen, he was a model American and a true gentleman. His funeral was largely attended by members of the southern Ohio bar, and also by his comrades, members of the Grand Army of the Republic. Hon. Mills Gardner read a befitting memorial at his funeral, and to this we are indebted for much in this sketch of his life. Rev. D. H. Jones, of the Presbyterian church, and Rev. J. C. Arbuckle, of Grace Methodist Episcopal church, had charge of the services.
CHAPTER XIII.
MILITARY HISTORY OF FAYETTE COUNTY.
War has always been a dreadful thing for any country or any people, vet this has always been the means of settling great national difficulties, and not until after the close of the Civil War in the United States of America did it receive its logical name, when Ohio's honored military chieftain, Gen. W. T. Sherman, said "War is hell." And still the world is at war, for at this very hour (September, 1914) Europe is aflame with the conflict of great contending armies which threaten the destruction of a once great and happy people. Even America looks on with a shudder, fearing that in some man- ner she may be drawn into this bitter European conflict.
Fayette county was organized too late ( 1810) to have had a very im- portant part in the last war this country had with England-that of 1812. She furnished a considerable amount of provision for the American cause, and, in proportion to population, probably had as many enlisted men in the military service as any county in the state to do battle for the flag she had learned to love so well. Before passing from this subject, it should be related as a matter touching locally on Fayette county, that in the month of December, 1813, while the War of 1812 was still going on, Major Samuel Myers, of Fayette county, was employed by the army contractors to superin- tend the transportation of about eight hundred hogs from Urbana, Ohio, to Fort Wayne, Indiana. These hogs had been bought in Madison and Fayette counties, the Funk families furnishing the majority of them, hence the swine were raised in Fayette county. Jolin Funk was to accompany Major Myers with the hogs. In the latter part of December, under guard of twelve sol- diers, under Ensign Gilmore, a number of cattle and about forty pack horses and a few assistants, the party set out on their march from Urbana, through the thick forests to Fort Wayne. Although Indians were plenty, they passed on quietly, occasionally stopping to allow the hogs to feed on the nuts and . acorns in the heavy timber.
The St. Mary's river and Shane's prairie were covered with ice, upon which the men and hogs crossed in part, but not altogether. The day before reaching their destination, being bright and sunshiny, the pack-horses were
I73

allowed to crop the tall bear grass that stuck up above the ice, while Myers and the soldiers, with Funk, of this county, remained, and the hands drove on the hogs. They had not gone far before they discovered a band of about fifty Indians-painted warriors,-not over a hundred yards distant. The Indians took in the situation and went back for supposed report to the other braves, while the frightened swine drivers hastily retreated to where Major Myers was and reported to him. The soldiers wanted to flee for the fort, fifteen miles away, but Myers ordered them to obey him and remain until attacked. They then moved a short distance and cooked supper and put out a heavy guard, having their horses' heads near them. There they remained all night, but not to sleep. At about ten o'clock there arose a fearful snow storm and this Myers believed would deter the Indian band from making an attack, which proved to be the case. In the morning the Major rode swiftly to the fort and secured a heavy guard to aid in getting the hogs and other supplies into safe quarters. Thus ended what might have been a disastrous trip for men and stock.
MEXICAN WAR IN 1846.
The War with Mexico was fought between 1846 and 1848, and it did not require a very large army of men to quell the disturbance, hence no one state had to furnish a large number of soldiers. Ohio sent forth her full quota and did so willingly. Some of her brave sons lost their lives and are now resting beneath Mexican skies. Fayette county furnished a few men in that war. but not many.
This county has taken part in two great wars since the War with Mexico -the Civil War of 1861-65 and the lesser conflict of the Spanish-American War in 1898, but before going into the details of the support the county gave to these wars, it may be of interest to the present reader, as well as to those of the future who shall look upon these pages, to note something concerning the preparations made in this county for war when it might come, by the training and drilling of her able-bodied male citizens.
MILITIA MUSTER DAYS.
In early times, throughout this country, there was no national guard system, but nevertheless all males between the ages of sixteen and fifty years were subject to military training and had to drill at "general training days." The law in Ohio establishing a militia of this type was dated at Marietta July
174
FAYETTE COUNTY, OHIO.
25, 1788, and was approved by Governor St. Clair. It provided that all within the above named ages (if able bodied) should perform military duty, be armed with a musket and bayonet, cartridge box and pouch, or powder- horn and bullet-pouch, one pound of powder and four of lead, priming wire, brush and flint, six in number.
They were supposed to meet at ten o'clock on the first day of each week, armed and equipped, adjacent to the place of public worship, and at all other times and places as the commander-in-chief should direct. For failing to ap- pear on the first day of the week, they were fined twenty-five cents, and for failure on the days designated by the commander, fifty cents; for refusing to do guard duty, one dollar, and for refusing to serve in case of an invasion, they were considered guilty of desertion and court martialed.
By the amended law of 1791, all commandants of companies were to drill their men two hours on the last day of the week, and inspect their arms, ammunition, etc. All who attended the drill on Saturday were excused from church or drill on Sunday. Also if they attended church armed and equipped, they were not required to drill on Saturday. This law was in force until the close of 1799, when the whole was revised by the Territorial Legislature, which fixed the ages at eighteen and forty-five; men were to be armed and equipped in six months, officers to have a sword or hanger, with spontoon or spike arms, except for execution.
Companies had to muster once in two months, except December, Janu- ary, February and March. This law was amended or superseded by statu- tory provisions when the state was organized in 1803, so that Quakers, Men- nonites and Tunkers were exempt from military duty on payment of three dollars each year. In 1809 all previous laws concerning the militia were repealed. Only two company musters a year were required-April and September. They were commissioned to meet in August each year for two days' exercise according to Steuben's tactics. Many were the changes down to 1844, when it was decided that public drill of militia was a failure and did not promote patriotism or good morals, and should not be required further.
On the prairie north of Oldtown, and also at Washington C. H., were favorite places for drilling in Fayette county. This event was looked for- ward to with delight by both old and young. While "stand at ease" was the order of the commander, the sergeants passed along the lines with a pail full of whisky, tin cup in hand, to which every one helped himself. "At officer muster," says one writer who had many times witnessed the scene, "the men swelled out with war-like pride and 'set the teeth and stretched the nostrils wide,' and 'gave the eye a terrible aspect' and as sable-save the blue coats

and brass buttons-as knights of old, they pranced upon their pampered steeds, with the glitter of the polished saber, the waving white plumes, the brilliant sash and flashing epaulet, the proud recipients of many admiring smiles from fair ladies ; while the stolid anti-bellum Quaker, looking on, ex- claimed with the sentiment of the frogs, 'It may be fun for you, but it is death to us.' "
From the muster-roll of the Third Company, odd battalion, Third Brigade, of the militia of Ohio, we give a few of the names, which will be of local interest to many still residing in this county, being, as they are, from well-known families for the most part: David Allen, lieutenant; George Allen, Elijah Allen, Larkin Asher, James Allen, John Alexander, Thomas Barton, Jesse Barton, George Basick, Peter Coon (fifer).

FAYETTE COUNTY IN THE CIVIL WAR.
In the Civil War Ohio was notably loyal. Her sons had descended from brave sires of the Revolution and the War of 1812-14 with the mother country. She was for the Union, first, last and all the time! The fire of patriotism was lighted in every loyal heart within the limits of the county. The total number of men from Ohio who enlisted during the Civil war was 319.659, while the total number of enlistments during the entire period of the war was 425,147. Not alone did her brave sons and fathers go forth, taking their lives in their hands, but also the women-the mothers and sisters -did their part heroically, and urged their fathers and brothers and sons to rush immediately to the rescue of the Stars and Stripes, then being trampled in the dust by Southern traitors.
Early during the year 1861 recruiting was being carried on in this county. The echo of Fort Sumter's thundering shots were heard from ocean
176
FAYETTE COUNTY, OHIO.
to ocean, a part of that sound reverberating over the hills and valleys and plains of Fayette county.
The first events in Washington C. H., connected with the opening of the Civil War transpired on April 18th, four days after Fort Sumter was fired on. The county commissioners appropriated the sum of forty dollars, with which to purchase a United States flag to be unfurled over the court house. The same day was announced the first call for troops by President Lincoln, who believed, with others, that seventy-five thousand for three months would be a sufficient number of soldiers to quell the rebellion at the South.
One paragraph in the Herald, on April 18th, read : "As to the flag of the Union-it shall proudly float over 'the land of the free and the home of the brave' at any sacrifice of blood."
LINCOLN'S PROCLAMATION.
April 18, 1861, the Herald published the following Presidential procla- mation : "Washington, Dist. Col., April 14-Whereas, the laws of the United States have been, and are now opposed in several states by combina- tions too powerful to be suppressed in the ordinary way. I therefore call forth the militia of the several States of the Union to the aggregate number of seventy-five thousand, to suppress said combination and execute the laws. I appeal to every loyal citizen to facilitate and aid this effort to maintain the laws and integrity of the National Union and the perpetuity of popular gov- ernment and repress wrongs that have long been endured. The first service assigned to the forces will be to re-possess the forts, places and property that have been seized from the Union.
"The utmost care will be taken, consistent with the subject, to avoid devastation and destruction or interference with property of peaceful citizens in any part of the country; the aforesaid combination to disperse within twenty days from date. I hereby convene both Houses of Congress, for the fourth day of July, 1861, to determine upon measures which the public safety and interests demand.
(Signed) "ABRAHAM LINCOLN, President.
"By W. H. SEWARD, Secretary of State."

GREAT MASS MEETING.
On April 20, 1861, there was held an immense mass-meeting at the court house. Two thousand citiens met to organize for the equipment of volun- teers who should respond to the President's call for seventy-five thousand men. Major Mathew Jones was chairman; John P. Blue, David Miller, Jesse Rowe, Alexander McCoy, Mathias Vandeman and Isaac Jenkins, vice- presidents ; James P. Robinson, secretary.
J. J. Worthington made a thrilling speech, after which the following befitting resolutions were offered and passed :
"Resolved, that a subscription paper be now circulated for the purpose of raising money to equip and forward the volunteers of the company now required from this county to aid the government.
"Resolved, that a committee of five from each township be appointed to solicit subscriptions to a war fund, for the purpose of sustaining such volunteers as may be required of this county by the government and for the sustaining of their families who may need such support.
"Resolved, that Peter Wendel, Sr., James Pursell and William McEl- wain be appointed a committee to receive such contributions, and pay out the same as necessity may require."
The war proceeded and after the great battle of Pittsburg Landing the patriotic citizens of Washington C. H. sent two men, with donations of sixty-five dollars, to care for the wounded on that battlefield who were sol- diers from Fayette county.
Ladies' aid and soldiers' relief societies were promptly organized. The work performed by such societies bespoke the genuine patriotism and loyalty, as well as liberality, of the citizens of this county. The ladies were fully as enthusiastic as the men. With the poet, they declared,
"Then take your gun and go! Yes, take your gun and go, For Ruth can drive the oxen, John, And I can use the hoe."
The record shows that up to March 10, 1864, there had been sent from the various townships of Fayette county men as follows: Jefferson, 397; Paint, 261 ; Madison, 187 ; Marion, 123; Union, 489; Wayne, 223 : Concord, 155; Jasper, 270 Green, 134; Perry, 191, making a total of 2,430, and still there was a call for more men from the county and it required 214 more to (12)
178
FAYETTE COUNTY, OHIO.
fill up the quota to that date, according to the requirements of the proposed draft set for March, 1864.
Up to May, 1864, there had been raised by donations, etc., in this county the sum of $2,495 toward the bounty fund.
In 1864 a beautiful sword was presented by the good citizens of Bloom- ingburg and vicinity, through Mrs. James M. Edwards, to Col. C. Garis, of the Sixty-seventh Regiment. It was presented at the fair grounds and was responded to by the gallant Colonel in truly befitting words.
REVOLUTIONARY SOLDIERS.
The official records at Washington, D. C., show that in 1840 the fol- lowing Revolutionary soldiers were on the pension rolls in Fayette county, Ohio :
Union Township-Felix McElhaney, aged ninety years; Ralph Boon, aged ninety-five years : Charles Sexton, aged seventy-eight years.
Concord Township-John Newlin, aged ninety-seven years; Thomas Crawford, aged eighty-seven years.
Jefferson Township-Adam Allen, aged eighty-one years; George Ru- pert, aged eighty-four years.
Green Township-John Priddy, aged eighty-two years; Jesse Rowe, aged eighty-six years.
MEMORIAL HALL.
Ohio cares for her defenders, and one instance is the fine Memorial Hall erected on East Court street, at Washington C. H. A few years ago the matter of erecting a soldiers' monument in this city was discussed by the county authorities, but finally it was decided to spend the money in erecting a structure in which the remaining Civil-war veterans, the Sons of Veterans, and the auxiliary Relief Corps might have a comfortable resting place and assembly home in their declining years. Monuments are good to show the true spirit of a county, but much more so is the building of such a hall, for it is more useful and practical, both today and in the future. This property, which was erected by Fayette county, is the second and third stories of a beautiful, modern brick block. The first floor occupied by the soldiers is divided into a large front room, used for a "rest room" for soldiers of any American wars. It fronts the street, is well lighted and the whole building is heated by steam, at a cost of four hundred dollars per year. The room just named has easy chairs and lounging places, free to all, and its walls are
179
FAYETTE COUNTY, OHIO.
artistically decorated with military pictures, including an heroic portrait in oil of Gen. Phil Sheridan. This was donated by Charles Allen, of the city. Then there are shelves and cases in which quite a military library is kept for public use.
On the same floor is the spacious Grand Army room, which is well fur- nished, being one of the best in Ohio. At the rear of the building (on this floor) is one of the largest halls in the state. It is really the "Memorial Hall" itself, for here one finds on either of the four walls pure white Italian marble tablets, set permanently in the walls, and these number in all forty- one, and cost (duty taken off by Congress) laid down by the contractors, one hundred and twenty-one dollars each, making almost five thousand dol- lars for all. On these tablets are inscribed the names, regiment and com- pany of 2,662 Fayette county soldiers. This hall is about sixty by eighty- five feet. with self-supporting ceilings. It is seated with six hundred opera chairs. This is the meeting place for all military gatherings, including the memorial and decoration services. The boys who "wore the loyal blue" meet here, march to the cemetery and, after decorating their comrades' graves, return and are served with a dinner by the Relief Corps ladies. This occurs with each annual return of this sacred day.
Going to the third story of the structure (second of the soldiers' rooms), one finds a hall sixty-five by eighty-five feet, with a splendid hard- wood floor, designed, originally, for the drill service of the National Guard. Here the men generally gather for any public purpose which comes up in the county. Here, also, the Relief Corps assemble and do their work, including cooking and serving meals. All in all, this memorial is superior to almost any in the country, and is duly appreciated by the old soldiers and those of the Spanish-American war as well. The Sons of Veterans have the use of the Grand Army hall and are very strong in Washington C. H. and Fayette county, generally, as is also the Woman's Circle.
When the marble tablets were ordered, it was intended by the committee to use a few for the surviving Confederate soldiers who were then residents of this county, but a better judgment prevailed and they are to contain the names of county officers. In fact, the Confederates themselves did not care to advertise themselves as having fought in the "Lost Cause."
The following are the inscriptions on these memorial tablets :
