Civil War Soldiers

I started this project years ago. As you can see, it is unfinished but what I do have may be of help to some researchers. I thought it would be fun to find all their obituaries and related stories as a tribute to those who fought in the Civil War.

Ironton Register; July 21, 1864

Improbable as it may appear, yet it is nevertheless true, that a bold attempt was made on Sunday morning, by eight desperate guerrillas, to raid across the Ohio River, a few miles below Guyandotte, Virginia, in order to rob the store of L.D. Russell, at the mouth of Indian Guyan. In this they were frustrated by their own carelessness and the pluck of young Billy Bays. They neither succeeded in killing any person, or robbing store; but were outwitted, and skedaddled, leaving their wounded behind, and themselves slightly demoralized. A citizen of that vicinity has written us the following particulars:

                About two o'clock Sunday morning a band of rebels came to the river opposite "The Boat Yard," or mouth of Indian Guyan. One of them swam over, and appropriated L.D. Russell's skiff, and eight of them crossed to this side of the river, evidently intending to rob Russell's store, but by mistake called upon George W. Bay, at his store, saying they wanted some cigars. As soon as the door was opened, they rushed in, and George, seeing he state of things, reached for his revolver, but before he could make any use of it, they fired upon him several times, inflicting two very severe wounds in his chest; also inflicting a slight wound upon his sister, Sarah. In the meantime "Billy," a younger brother, rushed in with his "tools," and discharged six shots, making five of them tell, sending the rebs down stairs in a great hurry. One of them, giving his name as Boyd, has since been ascertained to be Mill J. Stephenson. He only went a few steps before falling. The remainder reached the river, but the first ones reaching the skiff, pushed off, deaf to the pleadings of their companions, who shot at them to bring them back.
    After vainly trying to get a gunnale into the river, they finally succeeded in finding a "joeboat" capable of carrying a few of them. They pushed off, some of them swimming, and calling lustily for help; and it is thought two of them were drowned. They left their Captain, John Keller, at O. Harris's, and he and Stephenson are now at the hospital at Guyandotte, said to be mortally wounded.
                Result of the raid: Two prominent Cabell county rebels mortally wounded, and two more probably drowned; one Union man badly; one young lady very slightly wounded. After crossing the river, they reported having killed “Russell” (Bay).

You can trace the rebs' course from the store to the river, by the blood.

NARROW ESCAPES
SOME EXCITING WAR EXPERIENCES

NO. 1

MAYOR CORNS' EXPERIENCE

Ironton Register, Thursday, November 18, 1886

[Under the above head we propose to publish a series of articles, or rather interviews with old soldiers, giving details of narrow escapes while in the service. We well print them as long as the boys keep us posted with startling personal experiences or our interviewer can gather them in.-- Ed. Reg.]

"What was your ‘narrow escape’ in the army?" we asked of Mayor Corns, of the old Second Va. Cavalry, as he stood smoking his morning stoga, before the big cannon stove of his office, last Monday.

"Oh, I had several that I thought was pretty narrow-- narrow enough to make my flesh creep when I even think of them now."

"But," said we, "what was the little the worst fix you got into while serving Uncle Sam?"

"Well, sir, about the worst fix," replied the Mayor, and he laughed and shuddered at the same time, "was when our division under Custer attacked Fitzhugh Lee, on the evening after the battle of Sailor’s Creek-- that was the 7th of April, 1865, two days before the surrender at Appomatox. Lee was trying to get off with a big wagon train, and Custer had orders to intercept him and capture the train if possible. Just at nightfall, we caught up with Fitzhugh Lee’s cavalry, down there not very far from Farmville. The enemy had gone into camp for the night. They were in the woods and had thrown up piles of rails as a protection against attack. We had a heavy line of skirmishes which were soon driven in, and then, having discovered the enemy’s line, Custer ordered a general charge. There were about 7000 cavalry and we went in with a rush, but after a bitter little fight we were repulsed. We ran into a ditch or drain in the charge and that upset our calculations. We piled into that ditch with considerable confusion and were glad to get out, without bringing any rebs with us. Our lines were soon reformed and another charge sounded. It was then after dark, but the moon was shining brightly. It was an open meadow over which we charged, and save the drain, was a pretty place for a cavalry fight, for those who liked that kind of business."

"After the charge was sounded and we were on full gallop, lo and behold the enemy was charging too, and the two divisions of cavalry met in a hand to hand fight in the middle of the plain. It was an awfully mixed up affair. We couldn’t tell friend from foe half the time. We had been on the go so much that our blue uniforms were dust-colored and about as gray as the rebels’. It was the biggest free fight ever I got into, and every fellow whacked away and tried to kill every fellow he came to. It happened, however, that I got in with a little squad of six or eight of our boys, and we kept together until we found ourselves completely within the enemy’s lines, with the rebs’ banging away all around us. Our army was getting the best of the fight, and gradually pushing the rebs back, and of course we went back with the rebel line. It looked scary for us. I saw Johnny Connelly near me and said to him, "This is a bad fix--we must get cut of this." And he said, "Yes, and here are five or six others of us right near." I got them together, for I was a Lieutenant commanding a company, and said, "Boys, we must charge to the rear and join our army," and one of the boys said, "Here goes," and started, and we were all about to put after him, but just as I started, a reb who was just in front of me, and who I thought was one of our boys, whirled around and, drawing his saber, called out, "Surrender, you d----d Yankee," at the same time bringing the saber down toward my head with fearful velocity. I dodged and the saber struck my shoulder, but did not cut the flesh as I had on an overcoat with a bear-skin collar. The blade went right through these, but stopped at the flesh, but it paralyzed my arm, which fell to my side. He did it so quickly that I had no time to parry. But missing my head, he quickly drew his saber for another stroke, and I would have got it the next time clean through my head, but just as the reb had the saber at its full height for another blow, a First N. Y. Cavalryman struck his carbine right against the fellow’s head, and exclaiming "Not this time, Johnny," blazed away and shot the reb.’s head just about off. Then we scampered to the rear, but hadn’t gone far when we got into the ragged edge of our own line and felt ourselves considerably safer. In getting out of there, three balls struck me, but I consider the narrowest escape, was when that New York Cavalryman stuck his carbine at the reb’s head and presented the blow which would have gone right through my head, as sure as fate. The narrowness of the escape was intensified by the fact that the war only lasted two days longer.

"Before we got out of there, Johnny Connelly was shot crazy, but I snatched his horse’s rein and got him within our lines. He was sent back to the field hospital and I never saw him since; but if ever I come across that N. Y. Cavalryman, I’ll take him home, set him down in the best rocking chair in the front parlor, and feed him on mince pie and roast turkey as long as he lives."

"Well, we drove Fitzhugh Lee back, captured his camp, and got a great many prisoners, a large proportion of whom were drunk. We found applejack by the bucketfuls all through the camp, but we were not allowed to touch a drop, though my arm hurt me terribly bad."

"Well, Mr. Corns, that was a ‘narrow escape.’"

"Narrow! Well, I should say so, and I sometimes have to feel up there to be sure my head ain’t split in two yet."

Ackerson, Thomas	SWI JAN. 22, 1909 The people of Sheridan were surprised to receive the sad news regarding the death of Mr. Thomas Ackerson, who died at his home last Saturday night at ten o’clock after a brief illness of only a few days, aged 75 years. His death was due to pneumonia. The deceased was attacked with a sudden illness on Tuesday evening and Dr. O’Neil, a well known physician of South Point was summoned at once, but owing to his extreme advanced age, was unable to bring about his recovery and he passed to his reward at the time above mentioned. Mr. Ackerson was a member of the Missionary Baptist church at Ice Creek and his life was always that of a consistent Christian gentleman. He was quiet and unassuming and commanded the deepest respect of those who knew him best. He was very intelligent, energetic and well advanced in current events, also cheerful, good natured, extremely kind, always made friends easy and was held in the highest esteem by all his acquaintances. He was a veteran of the Civil war and a member of the 5th Virginia regiment, and was engaged in some of the hardest fought battles. The funeral services were held at the M. B. church at Sheridan and conducted by Rev. McKee. A wife and six children survive him. James, Edward, Charles, Mrs. Daniel Adams, Mrs. Wm. Walters and Mrs. Isaac Crabtree, all of whom reside at Sheridan.		5th W. Va. Inf.

Bowles, John	IR Feb. 21, 1907 John Bowles, a former resident of Lawrence county, died at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Mattie Ball of Portland, Oregon, Monday night, February 4th, aged 80 years. Death was due to alveolar heart trouble. A Portland exchange has the following to say of him: "Mr. Bowles retired Monday evening, feeling as well as usual. He was a man of robust constitutions and sickness had seldom visited him. One of the members of his family went to his room to call him Tuesday morning and found that he had passed away. "Mr. Bowles was born in Virginia November 12, 1826. His parents moved to Ohio while he was still a boy and he continued to reside in that state until he moved to Oregon in 1883, settling in Oswego, where he owned considerable property. He was married in 1846 to Miss Sarah McIntyre of Lawrence county Ohio. Seven children were born of the union of whom six survive him. Mr. Bowles enlisted in an Ohio regiment during the Civil War and remained in the service until a wound necessitated the amputation of his left arm, and he was discharged. The funeral took place Wednesday afternoon at 2 o’clock from the I. O. O. F. Hall at Oswego, Oregon with funeral at Oswego. He is survived by one son, John Bowles of Alabama, and five daughters, Mrs. Susan Chuck and Mrs. Kate Fox of Oswego, Mrs. Elizabeth Hosey of Oregon City; Mrs. Martha Ball of Portland, and Mrs. Lucy McClelland of Ohio.	27th OH Inf.

Bradshaw, James	IR Apr. 4, 1895 This well-known citizen of Lawrence county died 31st, 1895. He was born in Russell Co., W. Va., Dec. 22nd, 1817; was consequently 77 years, 8 months, 21 days old. He had lived in this county over a half century, coming to this county when quite a young man. He leaves three sons and three daughters and a wife to sorrow. No man has more friends to mourn their loss than does James Bradshaw. He was a member of Myrtle Tree Missionary Baptist church and had been a standby of that church for about a half century. His house was the home of the early ministers of this county. Many old men of our county will call to mind the active days of James Bradshaw as a business man. He never had a superior in the back part of Lawrence county. He was one of the leading men of southern Ohio. He was mild yet decisive in all his ways. He said what he would do and did that and no more. The last day of his life was one of his active days. He worked all day. He hauled lumber until almost night; did his feeding, ate his supper, felt a little bad; was aiming to pull of his boots, but got sick so fast he had to be assisted to get his boots off and was seized with an apoplectic fit. When Dr. D. G. Stewart was called, he rallied, said that he would be all right directly but was soon seized again never to recover. He went down not to rise in this life, but rise in a better clime where the true and brave shall meet to know no sorrow and see no tears. His funeral took place April 1st, ‘95. Thus ends one of the noble lives of Aid township, and one of the model men of Lawrence county--a career of usefulness and bliss. The sympathy of all go out to the bereaved ones.

Brannigan, John	MI May 25, 1920 John Brannigan, aged 96 years and two months, probably the oldest resident in Ironton and Lawrence county, passed away yesterday afternoon at the home of his daughter, Mrs. James Furlong of Chestnut street. Mr. Brannigan’s death although expected for some time, came as quite a surprise to the members of his family. On account of his weakened condition the deceased was compelled to spend the greater part of the day in bed, this being the case since a year ago last March when a decided weakness was noticed. Only last Saturday did his condition become worse, death resulting yesterday afternoon from infirmities of age. The deceased was a native of Ireland, his birthplace being County Mayo. He was married in England to Mary Burke. Two children were born to this union in England. Mrs. Jas. Furlong of this city, and Mrs. Ella Hill, wife of Tom Hill of West Virginia, who died about thirty years ago. Mr. Brannigan with his wife and family emigrated to the United States shortly before the Civil War. He located in Buffalo Furnace, Ky., and later came to Maddy, thence to Ironton where he has since resided. He engaged in the ore mining business and followed this occupation until his health failed. The deceased is survived by four children viz: Mrs. Furlong of this city, John Brannigan of Santoy, O., Michael Brannigan of this city, and Mrs. Chas. Matthews of West Ironton. Thomas Brannigan, a son, died eighteen years ago and Mrs. Mary Brannigan died twenty years ago. Since the death of the wife fifteen years ago, Mr. Brannigan has made his home with his daughter, Mrs. Furlong. The deceased was a member of St. Lawrence Catholic church and had always been a regular attendant until ill health kept him home. The funeral arrangements have not yet been made. Burial will occur under the direction of O’Keefe and Co.

Butterfield, Ben NARROW ESCAPES SOME EXCITING WAR EXPERIENCES NO. 7 BEN BUTTERFIELD'S EXPERIENCE Ironton Register, Thursday, December 30, 1886 "You were in the artillery during the war, were you not?" asked the REGISTER reporter of Ben Butterfield. "Yes," said Ben, "I was in Battery L of the 1st Ohio Artillery." "Well, then you must have a "narrow escape" for me. I want one from the artillery, sure," said the reporter. "I haven’t any of a very thrilling character," said Mr. Butterfield. " I saw some things that I don’t care to see again, but nothing where I was personally involved. There was a scene at Cedar Creek, on the 19th of October, 1864, that was pretty rough. It was the day that Sheridan made his celebrated ride. The rebels attacked our army, which was lying along the north bank of Cedar Creek, before dawn, and before we could get over our surprise, had us briskly retreating. Our battery was then in the Army of West Virginia, on the left side of the turnpike, at the foot of Massanuttin mountain, from which the rebs made their first dash on our lines. "Our whole line was driven back and the battery went with it, but at several intervals getting into position, and as often lighting out again with due haste. Our whole army was driven back, and were pretty well demoralized. It was about noon, when we got as far back as Middletown, possibly six or eight miles from our original position. There Sheridan found us, on his side from Winchester. Our lines were soon reformed, and soon changed retreat into attack, and from that moment we kept driving the rebs, until we regained the old line at Cedar Creek. "When we got there, our battery took position on the right of the road, a few hundred feet from where we were in the morning. A rebel battery was planted across the creek just opposite us, and it was our purpose to pay particular attention to it, as it was doing our boys a great deal of damage. We were just about ready to reply to their fire, when Capt. Gibbs, commanding our battery, gave the order, ‘by hand to the front,’ which meant that we were to seize the piece and push it farther ahead. Now this was a little difficult, for there were piles of stone there, which had been used by the infantry as a protection against the enemy’s fire. But they had been knocked down and lay about in heaps, so it was tough work to get our cannon any farther to the front. Now we approach the scaly point, and it involves two well known persons of this county-- John H. McGee and Esq. A. J. Jones-- two as brave men as ever fired a shot for their country. "Well, when the order ‘by hand to the front’ was given, McGee, Jones and myself jumped to the left wheel of the gun carriage to work it forward. We were all at the precise places required by the tactics on such an order. McGee caught the front of the wheel and pulled, his right leg braced up near the wheel. Jones was at the side of the wheel and pushing, his left lef thrust forward and near McGee’s right leg. I was at the back of the wheel and pushing with all my might. Just at this moment came a shell from the enemy’s battery towards our piece. How it did tear and scream, and how sure it was aimed! That shell came right at us. It struck John McGee’s right leg and Jack Jones’s left leg and tore off the lower part of those limbs. As Jones fell, or as the shell knocked him about, he struck my foot-- I was that near to him. At the same time the shell exploded, sending the pieces in every direction. Jones fell on the spot where he was struck, but McGee hopped off on the leg he had left. My ‘narrow escape’ consisted in being the only one of the three, tugging at the same wheel, that didn’t lose a leg by that shot. "Really, the men who ought to tell this story are friends McGee and Jones, for they are the ones who got hit, and could tell it better, but then it wasn’t altogether a narrow escape for them. I was the fellow who had the escape. Another remarkable thing about that shot was-- it not only took off a leg apiece of two gallant soldiers, but it was probably, the last cannon shot fired in that celebrated battle of Cedar Creek, where Sheridan made his famous ride. This is in substance about what I recollect of this exceedingly bloody and interesting reminiscence." [The Reporter will add, for the benefit of the reader who may not know them, that Messr. McGee and Esquire A. J. Jones are two prominent citizens now living in this county, the former at Rockcamp and the latter at Willow Wood. They each sport a peg leg, one the left and the other the right. When one walks along the sidewalk, you couldn’t tell from the noise whether it is John or Jack, unless you looked up to see. At the Portsmouth reunion they rode together, and were the observed of all observers. May they live long and be happy.]

Crossland, A. D. We have room for another "narrow escape," not a very big one, but a little laughable one. Lieut. A. D. Crossland, of the old 91st tells it. Everybody knows A. D.-- as brave a fellow and as jolly as ever went into the army. He said to us on Thanksgiving day: "I see you are giving the "narrow escapes" of the boys in the army-- I want to tell you mine-- it’s a short one. It took place at the battle of Cloyd mountain-- a mighty hot little fight. You see I was Quartermaster and didn’t have to fight except in my own way, but I generally saw the boys through. So at that fight, I got a musket and run a corps of my own. I cornered a big reb behind a small tree. I had the advantage, because I had first aim, and as I saw a part of him, I tried to shoot, but the trigger on the old musket wouldn’t work, and while I was fussing at it to get it to go off, the reb peeped around and surmised the difficulty, and as I was behind a very small tree that didn’t altogether conceal me, reb concluded his chance had come; so he raised up, took aim, and fired. Good gracious, how I was scared! but he missed me, and immediately I thought the thing to do was to get away from there, so I jumped from behind the tree and struck northward like greased lightning, to get with the boys. As soon as I started to run, I looked back to see if Johnny Reb was coming after me, but how happy I was, when I saw him climbing in the opposite direction as fast as his legs could carry him. As soon as he shot, he dropped his gun and lit out, just as I had done. He was going so fast I expect he is running yet. Now you can talk of your "narrow escapes," but I’m athinking that’s a pretty narrow one for a Quakermaster to get out of, don’t you?" "We do, truly."

Davies, Wm. L.	SWI Oct. 27, 1908 Death came as a blessed relief Sunday morning shortly after three o'clock to Wm. L. Davies, one of the most popular young men of the city, who has been suffering for nearly two years from an affliction of the lungs. With a determination that characterized his life, Mr. Davies, when he learned that his lungs were afflicted began a battle to overcome the disease, but his efforts were in vain and death conquered Sunday morning. Will Davies was born on December 16, 1875, and all his life had been spent in this city. He was the youngest son of Mr. and Mrs. Geo. B. Davies. When it became apparent in March, 1907, that the condition of his health demanded a change of climate, the deceased with his father left for Texas, going first to Belrio. A series of stops was then made at El Paso, Alamogordo, Phoenix and other points but the greater portion of the time from March, 1907, until a few weeks ago was spent at Alamogordo. Mr. Davies remained with his son until April, 1908, thirteen months. Two weeks ago last Sunday Will signified his intention of returning East and his father met him in St. Louis. He arrived October 8, last and began to sink and it was evident to the faithful watchers at his bedside that the end was not far distant. The deceased was educated in the public schools of the city and early in life showed an aptitude for civil engineering, and so proficient did he become in his chosen profession that until ill health compelled him to discontinue the work he was assistant instructor in engineering in the Ohio State University. He also served for several years as assistant city engineer under J. R. C. Brown. Mr. Davies joined the Methodist church in early childhood. He served throughout the Spanish-American War as a member of Co. E. 7th O. V. I. and was a member of the Spanish American war veterans who will attend his funeral in a body. He was a possessor of a very fine voice and as a member of the Acolian Quartette participated in many concerts, and other singing. Wm. Davies was a young man of many strong characteristics. He is survived by his father, at present assistant sanitary policeman, one brother, Geo. of Newport, and three sisters, Mrs. J. F. McConnell, and Misses Lillian and Carrie. The funeral services will be held this afternoon at 2 o’clock at Wesley chapel.
