SIMON D. TAYLOR, of Harrisonville, Missouri, was for many years an influential citizen of Hampshire. When the war began, he espoused the Confederate cause, raised a company, was elected captain, but, before being mustered into the service, he became disgusted with the failure of his men to hold their ground when the enemy appeared in the country, and disbanded the company, and soon afterwards joined the Hampshire Guards. He served in that until the second battle of Bull Run. He was captured, and was exchanged after two months. He then joined Rosser's cavalry. In the second day's battle in the Wilderness he was badly wounded through the arm, throat, and jaw. This rendered him unfit for service until the spring of 1865. Hle rejoined the command just before the evacuation of Richmond. He was in the rear during Lee's retreat from Richmond, fighting every day. Rosser's brigade did not surrender, but made its way westward. Mr. Taylor, while carrying a despatch, was shot through the hand. He learned that Lee had surrendered, and he knew that further resistance was useless. He made his way to Hampshire, took the oath at Cumberland, and returned to civil life.

HISTORY OF HAMPSHIRE.
CORNELIUS E. VANOSDEL, farmer of Bloomery, son of Jefferson and Hannah E. Vanos- del, was born of German parentage, 1866; married, 1893, Ruth, daughter of Lemuel P. and Amy L. Hiett.
CHARLES H. VANDIVER was the second son of Archibald Vandiver, who resided on his farm near Burlington, now Mineral County. He was born May I, 1840, and was reared on the farm, receiving a common school education, completing his school course at the Institute in Romney, under Rev. Joseph Nelson. When the war broke out he enlisted as a private in Cap- tain George F. Sheetz's company, and served until June 26, 1864, then lieutenant commanding the company. On this date his right arm was shot off by a shell in an engagement near Peters- burg, Virginia, that disabled him from further active service in the field.
After the war he studied law and was associated with White & Jacobs in the practice at Keyser. In 1870 he embarked in journalism, became the owner of The Keyser Tribune, and continued its editor until 1883. It prospered in his hands and became a prominent and influen- tial local Democratic newspaper. In 1883 he was elected sergeant-at-arms in the West Virginia State Senate at Wheeling. Having invested in property in Missouri in 1881, he sold his paper and moved to the latter State on the adjournment of the Legislature. In 1886 he was a resident of Lafayette County, and was nominated by the Democrats of his district, and elected to the Senate over his Republican opponent by three thousand eight hundred majority. In the Senate he was the patron of a bill declaring the Confederate Home of Missouri an eleemosynary insti- tution of the State which became a law. Another bill introduced by him, known as the " Anti- trust Bill" became a law. He made a creditable representative of his district, one of the wealth- iest in the State, and old Hampshire has no cause to be ashamed of her son in his adopted State.
In the Confederate army he was wounded three times, the third time losing the right arm. Ilis first was a scalp wound from a minie-ball when the Federals made their first advance on Moorefield. Ile was shot through the body while leading a charge, dismounted at Culpeper Conrt-House in October, 1863. He had a horse shot at Kernstown, another at Piedmont, a third at Brandy Station, a fourth at Fairfield, Pennsylvania, and three in battles of the Wilderness in May, 1864.
