OUR WOMEN AS "HELPMEET" IN THE WAR OF THE REBELLION.

No fair or true history of the war to suppress the Southern rebellion, and to save the Constitution and the Government, can be written without placing on record, by the side of the heroic deeds of the men, the noble acts and the uncomplaining en- durance of suffering and privation patiently borne by the patriotic women of Sandusky county, as well as everywhere in the country.

In the autumn of 1861, President Lin- coln and General Scott became convinced that the war would be prolonged through the approaching winter, and convinced also that, with all the efforts Government could make with the resources then in its hands, there must be much suffering in the army necessarily to be kept in the field, for want of clothing and other sup- plies, made an appeal to the mothers and daughters of the republic for help. They were requested to make an effort to fur- nish shirts, drawers, socks, mittens, etc., to the soldiers in the field, and also such

345

articles as the sick and wounded might need.

And now we pause to consider and ask : What could a whole volume upon the then alarming condition of the country say or prove better than an appeal of this kind, made by the commander-in-chief of the army and navy of the United States, and · his venerable, war-worn lieutenant-general, to the women of the country? Alarm and fear, and want of resources to carry on the war successfully, are all implied in this appeal to the women. The wisdom and experience of the men who made this ap- peal are obvious. They knew well the organism of the two sexes-that man is strongest in intellect and reasoning, while woman is more affectionate and intuitive than man; that her intuition often leads her to safer conclusions in the practical affairs of life, than the slow judgment and reasoning of man. They knew also that, while love is the controlling influence in woman, when the object of her love was placed in a position of danger and suffer- ing, her labor to rescue and relieve was intense, sleepless, and knew no bound but the limit of life itself. These wise ones knew also the power of woman in the do- mestic and social circles of life to stimulate man to action. This wise and timely ap- peal to mothers and daughters was well made and most nobly responded to, es- pecially by the women of Sandusky county.

On the 14th of October, 1861, at a meet- ing held in Buckeye Hall, in Fremont, for the purpose of recruiting for the Seventy- second regiment, Ohio Volunteer Infantry, . among other proceedings resolutions were passed noticing this appeal to the mothers and daughters of the country, and requesting that they organize a society for the purpose indicated.

SOLDIERS' AID SOCIETY.

Promptly after publication of the reso- lutions, the women of the vicinity were

called together, and on the 19th day of October, 1861, about one hundred of the best and most influential women of the city met at Birchard Hall to consider the matter, and organized a society, adopted a constitution, and elected officers, as fol- lows:

Mrs. R. P. Buckland, president; Mrs. James Vallette, vice-president ; Mrs. Geo. C. Canfield, treasurer; Mrs. A. Phelps, secretary.

Mrs. S. Buckland, Mrs. Isaac E. Ams- den, Mrs. Dr. St. Clair, Mrs. James W. Wilson, Mrs. James Graham, Mrs. A. Norton, Miss M. Raymond, and Miss Eveline Ball, directors.

The visiting committee was as follows: Mrs. F. I. Norton, Mrs. L. Canfield, Mrs. William B. Sheldon, Mrs. Oscar Ball, Mrs. Platt Brush, Mrs. M. W. St. Clair, and Miss Bell Nyce.

The receiving and distributing commit- tee was composed of Mrs. J. B. G. Downs, Mrs. George Raymond, and Mrs. Lewis Canfield.

The object of the society was to collect and forward to the Union soldiers cloth- ing, medicine, and food fit for the sick soldiers, lint, bandages, and every other article available to relieve our soldiers from the sufferings incident to the war.

The society at once made its organiza- tion and objects known through the press of the county, and gave notice that any donations to the soldiers might be de- posited with Stephen Buckland, or R. C. McCulloch, of Fremont.

At a meeting of the Soldiers' Aid So- ciety, held January 30, 1862, the follow- ing officers were elected for the ensuing year :

Mrs. A. H. Miller, president; Mrs. J. L. Greene, vice-president; Miss M. Ray- mond, secretary; Mrs. George C. Canfield, treasurer.

The board of directors was as follows:

346

HISTORY OF SANDUSKY COUNTY.

Mrs. S. Grant, Mrs. Isaac Sharp, Mrs. A. B. Taylor, Mrs. Henry Lesher, Mrs. Wil- liam B. Sheldon, Mrs. P C. Dean, Mrs. I. Camfield, Mrs. Theodore Clapp, Mrs. Oscar Ball, and Miss Alvira Ball.

Mrs. F. I. Norton, Mrs. Platt Brush, and Mrs. Benjamin Flint, composed the receiving and distributing committee.

To give a detailed account of all that our women did for the safety and comfort of our soldiers in the service, whether in the field or hospital, or in prison, would fill a book, but is not necessary to a fair appreciation of their works. From the day the society was organized, they worked for the comfort and health of the men in the army. They worked as only women can work for country, and for loved ones away, and in danger. Their minds and hands were busy in contriving and execut- ing plans for the most good, and how much good they accomplished the Infinite alone can ever know and measure. Women whose hands had before been strangers to work, and whose circum- stances in life then were such as to free them from toil at home, cheerfully met and mingled with those who had known toil all their lives, on a common level in their great work, and toiled together and earnestly for the soldiers of the Union army. And the soldier in prison, or in hospital, or in camp on duty, received the letters from the noble women at home, bearing messages of recollection, kindness and encouragement, accompanied with the free offerings of things needed for their comfort,-the soldier was not only relieved and comforted, but was inspired with fresh and higher courage to fight and suffer on to a glorious close of the war.

The records of the society are not at hand, but we have gathered sufficient facts to give future generations the kind of work they performed all through the war after the society was first organized, Al-

most every week, and sometimes oftene shipments were made of articles needed. One or two would capture a horse and spring wagon, drive through the country, calling on every one they met for dona- tions. They would enter a well-to-do far- mer's residence. The good wife on being informed of their object, would at once throw open closet, larder and cellar, and whatever the callers wanted they took, and the donor was happy in the giving. Her store of preserves, jellies, pickles, blankets, old sheets, in fact anything they wanted was at their disposal, and the wagon would soon return loaded with good and com- forting things for the boys in the war. These collections and the donations from those nearer the head of the organization were packed in boxes, and promptly sent by railroad to where they were most needed.

We here append the quarterly report of the Soldiers' Aid Society of Fremont, made February 4, 1864, to give a sample of the articles collected and forwarded, also a re- port of a similar organization at Clyde, in September, 1864, which are as fol- lows :

During the quarter, one box, containing 8 woolen shirts, 26 pairs socks, 7 pairs drawers, 3 sheets, 6 towels, 8 cotton shirts, 9 double gowns, 29 hand- kerchiefs, 3 pounds compresses, 5 cans peaches, 28 pounds dried apples, 5 pounds dried cherries, 4 pounds peaches (dried), I pair mittens, 2 pounds sugar, 4 pounds soap, 2 cans of apple-butter, I can of tomatoes.

This box contained also the Woodville donations, viz .: 17 shirts, 4 pairs socks, 8 pillows, 6 piilow slips, 4 pounds old cotton, and 9 pounds of dried fruit.

Also two other boxes, containing 14 flannel shirts, II cotton shirts, 13 pairs drawers, 10 pillow slips, 7 sheets, 7 towels, 21 handkerchiefs, 12 pairs socks, 7 jars apple butter, 16 pounds dried apples, 6 pounds dried peaches, 5 pounds soap, 2 rolls cotton, 3 jars cherries; 2 boxes, 3 cans, and 2 bottles tomatoes; I bottle wine, I jar cherries, I jar peaches, I jar quinces, I jar raspberries, and 1 gallon boiled cider.

CLYDE AID SOCIETY.

CLYDE, September 23, 1864.

The second financial year of our society has come, and we still find ourselves in a cruel war. Though at present we rejoice over our victories, and were it not for Northern rebels we might think the work almost done; but they will meet a fall one day that will tell them and their children the doom of traitors. In casting up our proceedings · we find as follows :

Money received during the year . .$266 01

Paid out.

258 91

Leaving in treasury. . .$ 7 10

We return our thanks to Mr. H. Adams for his donations-four hundred and fifty dollars, -also for the melons; thanks to Mr. Hatfield for money re- ceived from taking pictures on Thursdays. All who want a good picture call on Mr. Hatfield on Thurs- days, and you will not only have a good picture but will help the Aid, as half of the proceeds of that day go to the society. To Messrs. Lemon, Mook, Streeter, Russell, Nichols, Tichnor, Birdsey, and Steward for fleeces of wool, our thanks. And to all who have so kindly donated during the year, we say keep on, as we shall need all the help we can have in these times of high prices. We have shipped to the Commission at Cincinnati during the year the follow- ing: Two coats, 4 pair mittens, 2 sheets, 74 shirts, 54 pair drawers, 9 comforts, 215 handkerchiefs, 45 double gowns, 33 pillows, 35 pillow-cases, 64 pairs socks, 77 towels, 293 pads, 1,492 yards bandages, 1,967 compresses, 19 rolls linen, cotton and flannel, 9 napkins, 6 arm-slings, 24 rolls wide bandages, 3 vests, 6 pair slippers, 4 packages hops, 3 of sage, 374 magazines and papers, 3 dozen buttons, I ounce linen thread, 17 quires letter-paper, 13 packages envelopes, 56 combs, 47 cakes of soap, 4 dozen lead- pencils, one dozen pens and holders, bunch tooth- picks, 2 fans, I can sugar, I package beans, 163 pounds apples, 80 pounds small fruits, 3 pounds canned beef, I keg pickled cabbage, 334 bushel potatoes, I box blackberry root, 29 quarts cucum- ber catsup, I quart wine, 8 quarts canned blackber- ries, I quart candy, 1 quart crab-apple, 1 quart cur- rant jelly, I quart canned gooseberries, 2 quarts canned raspberries, 8 of peaches, 12 of cherries, 2 boxes mustard, 4 pounds corn starch, I can fruit, kind not known.

At a reorganization meeting September 22, the following officers were elected: Mrs. Nathan P. Birdseye, re-elected president; Mrs. Dr. Weaver, vice-president; Mrs. Colonel Eaton, secretary; Mrs. Dr. Seeley, treasurer; Mrs. Wilson and Mrs. Jack- son, directors.

MRS. NATHAN BIRDSEYE, President. MRS. BRADLEY TUTTLE, Secretary.

These are mere specimens of what was

done, and by no means indicate the extent of shipments made during the four years of the war after the women's movement was inaugurated.

The women of Fremont did not limit their work to sending good things for- ward for the soldiers. As the hardships, exposure, and the bloody work on the fields of battle went on, during 1863, 1864, and part of 1865, thousands of men were discharged for disability and sent home. Such women as Mrs. John R. Pease, Mrs. R. P. Buckland, Mrs. Dr. Stillwell, Mrs. Grant, and probably others in concert with them, discovered these soldiers making their way homeward in destitute circumstances. They at once seized the opportunity for doing good, and rented a house and furnished it with comforts for needy, returning invalid sol- diers. They watched for these needy patriots and when one was found he was at once taken to their impromptu home for needy soldiers. They would place him there and furnish him with medicine if needed, and food and lodging until he was refreshed and able to go on his jour- ney; and if he had no means to travel with, the means also were furnished him through their efforts, and the thankful sol- dier, sick, wounded, or needy, was sent towards his home rejoicing. Such women need no words of praise; their acts praise them better, before God and man, than language can.

BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES,

GENERAL CHARLES GRANT EATON.

As a soldier, physician, and citizen, Col- onel Eaton is alike favorably and honor- ably remembered. He was one of those peculiar men whose ability commanded respect, and whose qualities ingratiated him into the affections of his companions. Since people are naturally interested in what is said of their friends, this sketch is sure to receive a general reading.

Charles Grant Eaton was a son of Abel and Julia Eaton, and was born at Lowell, Massachusetts, September 27, 1825. His parents removed to Ohio in 1828, and settled in Licking county. Charles worked on a farm and attended the common schools of that community until young manhood, when he began the study of medicine in Granville, under the tutorage of Dr. Austin. He attended lectures at Cincinnati College of Medicine, where he graduated in the class of 1847.

Dr. Eaton began practice at Savannah, Athens county, Ohio. He married, May 15, 1849, Mary H. Conant, who was born in Worcester county, Massachusetts, July 8, 1825. Her parents, Lot and Mary Conant, settled in West Virginia in 1830.

In 1853 Dr. Eaton began the practice of his profession in Clyde. His tact and skill soon found favor, and a full share of the practice of the eastern part of the county came under his care. His pro- fessional career was uninturrupted until the opening of the Rebellion. The politi- cal storın had not been raging without his notice. He felt that patriotism demanded political activity, and responded heartily to the call.

When the country was aroused by the sound of battle, Dr. Eaton abandoned his practice and began recruiting troops for

the Seventy-second Ohio Volunteer In- fantry, then being formed mainly through the efforts of General Buckland. Dr. Eaton was complimented for his activity with the captaincy of company A, com- posed mostly of citizens of the east part of the county.

The biography of Dr. Eaton from now until the close of the war is closely inter- woven with the history of the noble Sev- enty-second Although his commissioned rank in the service did not obtain higher than the lieutenant-colonelcy, he was in command of the regiment during many of its most perilous expeditions. The regi- ment, soon after enlistment, was ordered up the Tennessee River. At Shiloh Cap- tain Eaton was quite sick, and in conse- quence was unable to participate actively in this engagement, in which the lieuten- ant-colonel was killed and the major cap- tured. The command then devolved up- on Colonel Eaton, until the regiment reached Camp No. 6, in front of Corinth, when Colonel Buckland, who had been in command of the brigade, reassumed command of the regiment.

Captain Eaton was promoted to major July 23, 1862. In November, 1862, Col- onel Buckland being again called to the command of a brigade, Major Eaton was given command of the regiment on Grant's Mississippi campaign, and several independent expeditions, until the return of Lieutenant-Colonel Crockett in Janu- ary, 1863. He served with credit through the Vicksburg campaign, and was soon after commissioned lieutenant-colonel. In the absence of the colonel he commanded the regiment until it was mustered out, September 11, 1865.

Colonel Eaton commanded his regi- ment on McPherson's expedition to Can- ton, Mississippi, and in Sturgis' fight with Forrest near Tupelo, Mississippi, where his bravery and devotion saved many men

from capture. In General A. J. Smith's fights with Forrest; on Mower's raid through Arkansas into Missouri after the rebel General Price ; at the battle of Nash- ville, December, 1864, where the Seventy- second won distinguished honor; in the attacks upon the forts around Mobile in the spring of 1865, he bore himself like a 'true soldier. When hostilities had finally ceased, he marched with his command, by way of Montgomery and Selma, to Vicksburg, where the regiment was mus- tered out.

"He came out of the service," says the memorial of the Army of the Tennessee, "without a blemish on his military record, and at the close of the war was breveted brigadier-general for gallant and meritori- ous services."

Colonel Eaton was firmly attached to his regiment. He was a man of heart as well as courage. While he was ambitious to honor his regiment, he at the same time protected them so far as possible from rash and hazardous undertakings. An incident illustrating his character as a military commander occurred on the field of Nashville. The lines were drawn up in front of the enemy's position, the Sev- enty-second being placed before a strong point. Brigadier-General McMillen sent his aide to Colonel Eaton, ordering him to lead the advance. Eaton saw at once that the execution of this order would be the certain destruction of the regiment. He told the officer to present General McMillen his compliments, and to tell him that he was not going to advance. The aide communicated Eaton's reply to McMillen, who rode in person to the front and repeated the order. Eaton, in his characteristic way, said, in effect: “Gen- eral, you can't see the situation. I am here in front where I can, and I tell you this regiment is not going to advance on that position." General McMillen com-

promised his order, and saved the regi- ment from foolish destruction.

Colonel Eaton, as it is popularly ex- pressed, was "one of the boys"; always ready to join in their amusements, exert himself to relieve their suffering, and make the burdens of army life as light as possible. No body of men could help but be attached to such an officer. Friend- ship heightened into love, which has not yet been forgotten by comrades in arms. On one occasion, at a reunion, a veteran caught his old colonel by the hand, and, as he remembered the multiplied kind- nesses shown the rank and file on the field, his eyes filled and tears drowned the words with which he wanted to express himself. A similar feeling of affection is cherished by his entire command.

After the war Dr. Eaton resumed the practice of his profession in Clyde. He died October 13, 1875. In his profession, General Eaton was not bound by any school of practice. He was practical in the treatment of cases, never wanting in resources, and always prompt in their ap- plication. 'While his knowledge of the science of medicine covered a wide range, he relied more upon his own judgment and experience than upon books and rules. He perceived quickly and accu- rately, and discriminated finely. A reten- tive memory was his faithful servant, and made a diversified experience valuable.

As a citizen, General Eaton was enter- prising and influential. He was free- handed with his money, and loved associ- ation. His affable manner, generosity, and interesting conversation caused his companionship to be sought and appreci- ated. Although without early training, and never a hard student, he was a well- informed man. His was one of those peculiar minds which absorb the acquire- ments of minds with which they come in contact. Having engaged in a consulta-

350

HISTORY OF SANDUSKY COUNTY.

tion of physicians, or social conversation, he came away possessed of all the infor- mation called out.

Dr. Eaton was buried with Masonic honors, having been connected with that fraternity from the age of twenty-one years. He was also a member of the Odd Fellows lodge.

Mrs. Eaton is yet a citizen of Clyde. The family consisted of three children- Charles Henry, born March 14, 1850, lives in Colorado; Mary Julia, born Oc- tober 31, 1851, married August 6, 1875, to John H. King, lives in Michigan ; Fred- erick C., born January 13, 1861, died March 14, 1862.

CHESTER AVERILL BUCKLAND,

son of Stephen and Lucy Buckland, was born January 6, 1841, at Edinburg, then in Portage, but now in Summit county. He came with his parents, while quite young, to Fremont, and at an early period determined to learn a trade, and be inde- pendent. He accordingly served an ap- prenticeship at the printing business in the Fremont Journal office, under the in- struction of Isaac M. Keeler, the then ed- itor and publisher of the paper. He evinced so much manliness and intelli- gence that his parents determined to give him an education, and for that purpose sent him to Hudson College. Here young Buckland made rapid progress in his studies, and developed qualities which promised a high and noble manhood. From the time the war of the Rebellion first broke out, he had a burning desire to en- ter the Union army, but could not obtain the consent of his loved and loving mother. When his older brother, Henry W. Buckland, enlisted, and became lieu- tenant of Company B, of the Seventy- second regiment, Chester made further

appeals to his mother by writing to her from Hudson, asking her to con- sent to his enlistment. The letters he wrote are so full of expressions of filial obedience, and yet so earnest, that they honor both parents and their child. They are given here, not specially to praise young Buckland, but to show the spirit of a representative young man of our county :

HUDSON, November 10, 1861.

DEAR PARENTS: I write home, at the present time, for your permission to enter the army. Not- withstanding my great and burning desire to go and help overturn the rebels, I have held back by your advice, and in accordance with your wishes. You do not know how many times I have regretted I was not in the army, and often I think I seem a coward that I have not gone. But I gave my promise that I should not go without your consent, and I do not wish to break it. A great many of my friends have gone, and to me it seems as if I should be with them. You think me unable to undergo the life of a soldier. I, as well as others, have sound and un- blemished limbs, fine-textured muscles, capable of great development, and which can be taught to bear fatigue. To be sure, I am small in stature, but it has been proved that small men make the best sol- diers, capable of enduring more fatigue, excitement, hunger, thirst, and danger than large men, being sounder, and more compactly made. I have calcu- lated the costs, the danger, toil, and privation I will have to undergo, and with your consent, I will most gladly endure them all. Do not refuse me. I know it will cause you many an anxious hour, but you will love to boast of me, as well as of my brother. I would, of course, want to go with Henry. Besides, I should no longer be a burden to you, but could let you have the most of my money which I would draw from the Government, instead of drawing from you, which you can scarcely spare. Do not think this is a sudden streak in me, for it is not. It has long been forming, and every day becomes stronger and more powerful, and many times I have almost said I would go. You well know that long since I should have gone had you not restrained me, and now it requires but one word, and I will go. Do not withhold it. The more I see of the hardship, pain, and suffering in this war, the more I want to go and help punish the causes of it. I have delayed long enough, and I feel that I can not do so very long. I think it my duty to go. There are none who are dependent on me, and I can afford, as well as others, to leave my ·home and all I love for my country's welfare. Now that I have gone thus far, do not refuse me. There are many men who have left their wives and children
