REV. LORENZO WARNER, M. D., was born in Waterbury, Connecticut, and removed with his parents to Medina, Ohio, at the age of five, where he grew to young manhood. After having nearly completed his collegiate course in the Western Reserve College at Hudson, Ohio, he entered and graduated from a Cincinnati Medical College, with honors. He practiced for some ten years, then represented his county two years in the Ohio Legislature, after which he entered the ministry of the Methodist Episcopal Church, and remained an honored member, always filling important appointments; served six years as Chap- lain in the Ohio State Penitentiary; Chaplain of the Fourth Ohio from June 15th, 1861, until March 17th, 1863, when he resigned on account of failing health, but continued his work as a preach- er until the day of his sudden and unexpected death, at his home in Galion, Ohio, on the 12th of April, 1876.
Dr. Warner was one of nature's noblemen, and drew about himself a host of friends and admirers wherever he went. Hav- ing added to great natural abilities early culture, he was a power for good in the way of moral reforms, and possessed the unusual gift of presenting his thoughts and convictions in that happy and fluent manner that convinced the judgment of his hearer, and a mildness of spirit that won the esteem and love of those who differed with him.
On account of his age and fatherly bearing the boys called him Father Warner, a title of which he had reason to be and was proud, for it was a token of their love for their Chaplain. with whom they felt on as familiar terms as a son can with his father. Although his few years with the boys were among the happiest of his life, yet the stern realities of war brought to death at the battle of Pittsburg Landing a dearly beloved son who had been a member of our regiment, and honored with a commission. and another son having been severely wounded at Fredericks-

burg, his cup of sorrow began to overflow, and to the regret of all "Good Father Warner," with rapidly silvering locks, hastened to his home to help a beloved companion to bear the cruel pangs of this earthly life, which could not even then be borne save with the indwelling of that heavenly and higher.
After a long illness, Dr. FRANCIS W. MORRISON died March 16th, 1886, at his residence on East Central avenue, Delaware, Ohio.
FRANCIS W. MORRISON, M. D., of Delaware, was born near Mansfield, Ohio, July 13th, 1831, and is the son of James and and Ruth (Billings) Morrison. He entered college at Delaware in the spring of 1853, and graduated in June, 1856. Being without means, he earned what he could by manual labor and teaching school, both to carry him through college and while in pursuit of his medical education. He graduated at the medical schools of Cincinnati in the spring of 1860, when he commenced the practice of his profession with his former preceptor, Dr. Bly- myer. In the spring of 1861 he enlisted as a private in Com- pany I of the Fourth Ohio Volunteers, in the three months' service. He again, July 7th, 1861, enlisted for three years in the Eleventh Ohio Volunteer Infantry as Hospital Steward, and continued with that command in West Virginia until August, 1862, when he was commissioned Assistant Surgeon of the Fourth Ohio Volunteer Infantry, and was ordered east to join his new command, with which he was ever present on active service. In November, 1863, the doctor was commissioned Surgeon of the regiment, in which capacity he served until his regiment was mustered out of service in June, 1864. He then married Miss Elizabeth Willey, of Delaware, Ohio, June 29th, 1864, and on the 10th of July following entered the contract service as Surgeon at Camp Dennison, Ohio, where he continued until September 20th, when he was commissioned Surgeon of the One Hundred and Seventy-fourth Ohio Volunteer Infantry, and in this position he faithfully served until January, 1865, when he was detailed as Brigade Surgeon, on the Staff of General Minor T. Thomas, where he continued until ordered home to be mus- tered out with his regiment in July, 1865, at the close of the war.

Since then he has continued to reside in Delaware, except four years of residence in his native place.
Dr. Morrison was a member of the Delaware County Medical Association, was twice annually chosen its Secretary and finally President. He was independent and self-reliant; like many others made his own fortune unaided, and was thus in a position to comprehend the obstacles and inconveniences which beset the pathway of the youth who would obtain an education and a com- petency in life. He left a family of three children and a wife to mourn his loss.
CAPTAIN JAMES WALLACE was born at Ravenna, O., August 9, 1838; his father dying in 1844 and his mother in 1848, he came to Canton to live with his uncle, John Harris, Esq. Young Wallace's educational opportunities were excellent and well util- ized; he was a lover of books, especially of the exact sciences, in which he excelled; he attended the Michigan University, and subsequently, in 1856, entered the Military Academy at West Point, where in less than a year ill health compelled him to sur- render his cadetship and to close his books.
Although he was of slender build and in fickle health, his was a restless, prying disposition ; his seasons of recreation were of short duration, and we hear of him now assisting in the lake survey with General W. F. Raynolds and now in the work of building lighthouses on the coast of Florida. About 1860 he returned once more to Canton and entered upon the study of law; while thus engaged he organized and drilled the Canton Zouaves, the crack military company in his section of the coun- try at that day; he was popular, energetic, of pure character and Christian affiliations, highly talented and finely educated, and, with youth on his side, seemed to be just entering upon a career in civil life in which honor and distinction surely awaited him, when the call for troops found him the first man from Stark county to offer his services in defense of the Union to the Gov- ernor of Ohio, from whom, as early as April 17, 1861, he was in possession of his commission to raise a company; volunteers came forward and filled the company to the limit in a very few days; many of the Captain's old Zouaves put off the gay toggery in which they had played soldier and donned the blue uniform of the Nation's defenders; a number of Canton's oldest families

contributed one or more members; more promising and patriotic young men could not have been selected than those who freely offered to follow the young captain to the awful conflict, from which many of them, including their heroic leader, were never to return.
He was the model soldier, without fear or reproach, never shrinking from hardship or danger and never absent from his regiment, the Fourth Ohio, until December 12, 1862, the date of the dreadful battle and Union repulse at Fredericksburg; in that memorable assault, and while leading his men in the ad- vance skirmish-line, he was struck by a rebel shell on the left knee. During the first few days the surgeons gave him reason to hope, though he would inevitably be a cripple for life, but by December 26th the limb swelled and became intensely pain- ful; four days later the leg had to be amputated, as a last effort to save his life.
In his last days the wounded captain received the tenderest care from the loving hands of his affianced wife, Miss Henrietta Schneider, a lady whose beauty and excellence of character made her every way worthy of his love. On January 4th, at I P.M., the prostrate soldier and his plighted bride were united in mar- riage by the Chaplain of the Seventh Ohio Regiment; about 6 P.M. the same day the nurse observed a single drop of blood upon the bandage of the amputated limb; the surgeon was called, and the startling discovery was made that an artery had been ruptured; a few moments after he gave to his country the life he had staked in its defense; he made the sacrifice in the full exercise of his consciousness and passed into the sleep of death without a moan or a complaint.
His remains were buried in the Canton Cemetery, with most impressive ceremonies, on January 8th. A friend suggested a monument over the grave, built by the joint offerings of the Captain's old townsmen, a proposition that was immediately responded to by subscriptions to the required amount; but the young soldier's widow interposed; she craved the precious privi- lege of being alone in paying this last tribute of love, and begged the subscribers to receive back their money; and thus this beau- tiful shaft was made yet more beautiful by its typification of wifely devotion, while it marks the last resting-place of one of the purest and bravest of men.

DEATH OF CAPTAIN McMILLEN.
At Alexandria, Virginia, on Sunday night, June 29th, 1862. Company E had the great misfortune of losing their Captain by drowning in the Potomac River. The regiment was preparing to embark on the steamer "South America," to join General McClellan before Richmond, and had lain two or three hours on the wharf in the rain. The night was very dark and many lantern- lights flickered on shore and river, deceiving one as to the where- abouts of danger, making the least misstep fatal. It seems that about midnight Captain McMillen became tired of the delay in getting aboard and went alone in advance of his company toward the vessel, a distance of about one hundred and fifty yards. He evidently kept a straight course for the light at its bow instead of diverging to the right and passing around men, horses, mules, artillery and baggage-wagons that blockaded the way, The sad result was that in the darkness he accidentally stepped off and fell into the water at the mouth of a canal running from the river. Several men of the Fourteenth Indiana, of our Brigade, heard him fall, and as speedily as possible took him from the water. Life was extinct. They recognized him as a Fourth Ohio officer, and not knowing his name, called out for our regi- ment. Captain Crawford, of Company C, and Lieut. Lemuel Jeffries, of D, were among the first to quickly respond and identify the body. Colonel Mason was informed, and at once detailed Captain Wallace, of Company F, and six men of Com- pany E to take charge of the remains. The body was con- veyed to the Government Hospital in Alexandria, and the next day, with all care, it was forwarded by express to Wooster rela- tives by Captain Wallace, Charles W. McClure and R. B. Spink. No efforts of the members of Company E were successful in procuring a furlough so as to accompany the remains home, and in a few hours all were steaming down the river in an opposite direction. Captain McMillen was greatly liked by his own com- pany, and every man felt his death as a personal loss. The whole regiment-officers and men-esteemed him highly as a man and soldier, and expressed it that in him one of the best officers and most congenial of comrades had departed. The Captain died a widower in the 41st year of his age, having been born at Wooster, Ohio, March 22d, 1823. He served in the Mexican War in 1846-7, as Second Lieutenant of Company E, Third Regiment O. V. I.
