I hope you find it as interesting as I did. I am currently trying to verify alleged relationship to Decatur County, Indiana. As of now, I cannot ascertain claims that he was related to Decatur County Miller's. I decided to go ahead and post it because it is such a great story. Happy Reading.</span></h2>

Story of Vicissitudes of the Veteran, Left on the field of Battle as Dead<br />Reviewed From His own Biography Receives $40 Month Pension</h4>
Braidwood is sending to the state G.A.R. encampment today one of the most remarkable hero survivors of the Civil War. His name is Jacob Miller and since Sept. 19, 1863, he has lived with an open bullet wound in his forehead. For a number of years the bullet remained in his head but piece by piece it fell out till now. It is thought none of it remains in the wound. During the time it was in the head it at times would produce a stupor, which sometimes would last two weeks, it being usually when he caught cold and produced more of a pressure on the brain. At other times delirium would seize him and he would imagine himself again on picket duty and would tramp back and forth on his beat, a stick on his shoulder for a musket, a pitiful object of the sacrifice for freedom. As these pieces of lead gradually loosened and fell out he regained his usual health and is now at the age of 78 years, one of the most, if not the most, remarkable survivor of the Civil war.<br />
<br />
The harrowing experience undergone by Mr. Miller is so vividly felt by him even at this late day that it is seldom he can be persuaded to talk of it.<br />
<br />
But it is my privilege to record from his own hand writing written for his family the story of his miraculous escape from death at that memorable time under his signature.<br />
<br />
Jacob Miller, formerly a private in company K 9th Indiana Vol. Inf. Was wounded in the head near Brock Field at the battle of Chickamauga, Georgia on the morning of Sept. 19, 1863. I was left for dead when my company when my company fell back from that position. When I came to my senses some time after I found I was in the rear of the confederate line. So not to become a prisoner I made up my mind to make an effort to get around their line and back on my own side. I got up with the help of my gun as a staff, then went back some distance, then started parallel with the line of battle. I suppose I was so covered with blood that those that I met, did not notice that I was a Yank, ( at least our Major, my former captain did not recognize me when I met him after passing to our own side).<br />
<br />
At last I got to the end of the confederate line and went to our own side while a brigade of confederates came up to their line behind me. There were none of the Union forces found on that part of the field when I passed along. I struck an old by-road and followed it the best I could, as by this time my head was swelled so bad it shut my eyes and I could see to get along only by raising the lid of my right eye and look ahead then go on till I ran afoul of something, then would look again and so on till I came to the Lafayette Pike near the Kelly house and started towards the field Hospital at the springs. I at length got so badly exhausted I had to lie down by the side of the road. At last some bearers came along and put me on their stretcher and carried me to the hospital and laid me on the ground in a tent. A hospital nurse came and put a wet bandage over my wound and around my head and gave me a canteen of water. I don’t know what time of day they examined my wound and decided to put me on the operating table till after dark some time. The surgeons examined my wound and decided it was best not to operate on me and give me more pain as they said I couldn’t live very long, so the nurse took me back into the tent. I slept some during the night . The next morning (Sunday), the doctors came around to make a list of the wounded and of their company and regiments and said to send all the wounded to Chattanooga that the ambulances would carry and told me I was wounded too bad to be moved, and if the army fell back those that were left there could afterwards be exchanged.<br />
<br />
As stated before I made up my mind as long as I could drag one foot after another I would not allow myself to be taken prisoner. I got a nurse to fill my canteen with water so I could make an effort in getting near safety as possible. I got out of the tent without being noticed and got behind some wagons that stood near the road till I was safely away (having to open my eye with my finger to take my bearings on the road) I went away from the boom of cannon and the rattle of musketry. I worked my way along the road as best I could. At one time I got off to the side of the road and bumped my head against a low hanging limb. The shock toppled me over, I got up and took my bearings again and went on as long as I could drag a foot then lay down beside the road, to see if I could not rest so I could move. I hadn’t lain long till the ambulance train began to pass, the drivers as they passed me asked me if I was still alive, then passing on. At last one of the drivers asked if I was alive and said he would take me in, as one of his men had died back awes, and he had taken him out. Then it was all a blank to me, (Monday the 21st I came to myself and found I was in a long building in Chattanooga Tenn., lying with hundreds of other wounded on the floor almost as thick as hogs in a stock car. Some were talking , some were groaning. I raised myself to a sitting position got my canteen and wet my head. While doing it I heard a couple of soldiers who were from my company. They could not believe it was me as they said I was left for dead on the field at the left of Brock Cabin. They came over to where I was and we visited together till then came an order for all the wounded that could walk to start across the river on a pontoon bridge to a hospital, to be treated ready to be taken to Nashville. I told the boys if they could lead me, I could walk that distance. I started but owing to our army retreating the night before, and was then in and around the city wagon trains. Troops and artillery were crossing the river on the single pontoon bridge. We could not get across until almost sundown. When we arrived across and up on the bank we luckily ran across our company teamster, who we stopped with that night He got us something to eat After we ate some (the first I had tasted before daylight Saturday morning the 19th), we lay down on a pile of blankets, each fixed under the wagon and rested pretty well as the teamsters stayed awake till nearly morning to keep our wounds moist with cool water from a nearby spring.<br />
<br />
Tuesday morning the 22nd we awoke to the crackling of the camp fire that a comrade built to get us a cup of coffee and a bite to eat of hard tack and fat meat. While eating, an orderly rode up and asked if we were wounded. If so we were to go back along the road to get our wounds dressed, so we bid the teamsters good-bye and went to get our wounds attended to. We had to wait till near noon before we were attended to. That was the first time I had my wound washed and dressed by a surgeon. After we were fixed up we drew a few crackers, some sugar coffee, salt and a cake of soap and were ordered to get into an army wagon with four army mules, ( God Bless the army mule, the soldiers friend.) We got in and started to go over Raccoon or Sand Mountain to Bridgeport, Ala. To take the train to Nashville, Tenn. After riding in the wagon awhile I found the jolting hurt my head so badly I could not stand it so had to get out. My comrades got out with me and we went on foot. I was told it was 60 miles that route to Bridgport, at least it took us four days to get there. Wednesday morning when I woke up I found I could open my right eye and see to get around. We arrived at Bridgeport the fourth day out from Chattanooga at noon, just as a train of box cars were ready to pull out. I got in a car and lay down. I had gained my point so far--and how. As the soldiers term it with lots of sand, but the sand had run out with me for the time being.<br />
<br />
The next thing I remember I was stripped and in a bath tub of warm water in a hospital at Nashville. I do not know what date it was; in fact I didn’t pay much attention to the dates from the Friday at noon when I got in the box car at Bridgeport to start to Nashville.<br />
<br />
After, some length of time I was transferred to Louisville , Ky. From there to New Albany, Ind.. In all the hospitals I was in I begged the surgeons to operate on my head but they all refused.<br />
<br />
I suffered for nine months then I got a furlough home to Logansport and got Drs. Fitch and Colman to operate on my wound. They took out the musket ball. After the operation a few days, I returned to the hospital at Madison and stayed there till the expiration of my enlistment, Sept. 17, 1864. Seventeen years after I was wounded a buck shot dropped out of my wound and thirty one years after two pieces of lead came out.<br />
<br />
Some ask how it is I can describe so minutely my getting wounded and getting off the battle field after so many years. My answer is I have an everyday reminder of it in my wound and constant pain in the head, never free of it while not asleep. The whole scene is imprinted on my brain as with a steel engraving.<br />
<br />
I haven’t written this to complain of any one being in fault for my misfortune and suffering all these years, the government is good to me and gives me $40.00 per month pension.<br />

I will include a few facts I have discovered so far. This research is very time consuming and so I will publish preliminary points of interest and eventually hope to make a complete story about how the indigent of our county were treated or taken care of in the years 1870 to 1940. The map below is from the 1870's.<br />

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">As I was researching genealogy for my sister's family recently, I came across an interesting entry in Harding's History of Decatur County. It is about the patriarch of the Schroeder family in Decatur County and it is very informative to the genealogist and historian.</span></h2>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">The student interested
in the history of Decatur County does not have to carry his investigations far
into its annals before learning that John Henry Schroeder has long been one of its
most active citizens, in both its mercantile and agricultural interests, and that
his labors have been a potent force in advancing the interests of this
locality. Mr. Schroeder has lived a useful and honorable life, a life characterized
by perseverance and well defined purpose and he has established a character as a
man who measures up to the type of the good American citizen. To him there also
belongs the distinction of being the oldest resident of Decatur County. John Henry Schroeder, who lives on a farm adjoining
the town of Enochsburg, Salt Creek Township, was born in Germany, November 19, 1822,
the son of Frank and Mary Elizabeth Schroeder who came to America two years
after their son had located here. When John H. Schroeder was about fourteen years
of age, in 1836, enthused by the wonderful stories of the great possibilities
in the United States for a young man of ambition and energy, he came to this country,
locating first at Cincinnati, where he engaged in common labor. He also worked in
a store for five years. In 1841 he went to Louisville, Kentucky, where, for five
years, he was employed in a store, and in 1846 went to Missouri, and clerked in
a store at Lottsport. Two years later he returned to Louisville and after a
residence there of one year came to Decatur County in 1849, locating in Enochsburg,
where he established a store, which he operated with considerable success for about
eight years. It was at a period antedating the advent of railroads in this section
of the state and it was necessary to bring his stock of goods from Cincinnati. On
one occasion when he was sending a wagon load of dressed hogs to the Cincinnati
market and while crossing a stream near Harrison, the ice broke and the
valuable team of horses which he was driving was drowned. When he discontinued his
store at Enochsburg, Mr. Schroeder located on the farm where he now lives and which
comprises two hundred and seven acres of valuable land. He has resided there
for about forty years and has worked a wonderful transformation in the
condition of the place. At the time he moved upon it there were no improvements
of any kind and it was necessary for him to cut timber in order to erect his
buildings. He since then has done strenuous labor, but despite his hard luck he
is now, at the advanced age of ninety-three years, remarkably well preserved, both
physically and mentally. He has always taken a keen interest in local affairs and
has lent his aid to the advancement of all worthy propositions and to the
raising of the standard of living. While living in Enochsburg he served two years
as trustee of the township, and one term as appraiser and </span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt;">was in other ways
prominent in the affairs of his neighborhood. During the Mexican War, Mr. Schroeder
assisted in organizing a company for service and also helped to organize a military
company during the Civil War.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">On February 8, 1849,
Mr. Schroeder was married to Elizabeth Tuka, who was born in Germany on September
8, 1828, and who passed away in March, 1894. She came to America, locating in Louisville
when fourteen years of age and her marriage to Mr. Schroeder occurred at Enochsburg.
To Mr. and Mrs. Schroeder were born the following children: Henry H., Henry, deceased;
Everhard Henry, October 9, 1832, who died in 1905; John G., November 17, 1854, who
lives three miles south of Greensburg and </span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt;">who is married and
has four sons. John, Edward, Frank and Gregory : John Ambrosius, deceased; Herman
Henry, October 24, 1858, was married, July 13, 1897, to Rosa Sandrock; Mrs. Mary
Elizabeth Northorst, of New Albany, is the mother of three children, Joseph, Rosa
and Henry; Louisa Zizilia, December, 1862; Mrs. Annie Frances Thea, of Posey county,
who has seven children, Rosa, Elizabeth, Joseph, Clara, Frances, Julia and Anthony
; Rosa Clara Wessels died in Louisville, Kentucky, on November 23, 1899. at the
age of thirty-two years, leaving four children, Lizzie, Bennie, Edward and Rosa.
John Henry Schroeder also has four great-grandchildren, namely : Joseph and Leonard,
sons of his grandson, John ; and Richard and Paul, sons of Joseph Northorst.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Mr. Schroeder has
been a life-long adherent of the principles of the Democratic party, having cast
his first Presidential vote for Henry Clay and has voted for every Democratic presidential
candidate since. His religious affiliation is with the Enochsburg Catholic
church, of which he is a liberal supporter.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">As the oldest
resident of Decatur County, J. H. Schroeder has seen his county develop from a
sparsely settled community to its present prosperous condition, and has performed
a very important part in helping to bring about the advanced standing of the locality.
Though now in the evening of life, he </span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt;">is still hale and
hearty and enjoys life with the zest of a far younger man. His long residence in
this section has given him a great number of friends, by whom he is held in the
highest esteem for his many commendable traits of character.</span><br />

It happened in Chicago in 1924.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<article class="article" itemprop="articleBody">
Fourteen-year-old Bobbie Franks is abducted from a Chicago,
Illinois, street and killed in what later proves to be one of the most
fascinating murders in American history. The killers, Nathan Leopold and
Richard Loeb, were extremely wealthy and intelligent teenagers whose
sole motive for killing Franks was the desire to commit the “perfect
crime.”<br />
Leopold, who graduated from the University of Chicago at age 18,
spoke nine languages and had an IQ of 200, but purportedly had perverse
sexual desires. Loeb, also unusually gifted, graduated from college at
17 and was fascinated with criminal psychology. The two made a highly
unusual pact: Loeb, who was a homosexual, agreed to participate in
Leopold’s eccentric sexual practices in return for Leopold’s cooperation
with his criminal endeavors.<br />
Both were convinced that their intelligence and social privilege
exempted them from the laws that bound other people. In 1924, the pair
began to put this maxim to the test by planning to commit a perfect
murder. They each established false identities and began rehearsing the
kidnapping and murder over and over.<br />
Loeb stabbed Bobbie Franks (who was actually his distant cousin)
several times in the backseat of a rented car as Leopold drove through
Chicago’s heavy traffic. After Franks bled to death on the floor of the
car, Leopold and Loeb threw his body in a previously scouted swamp and
then disposed of the other evidence in various locations. In an attempt
to throw police off their trail, they sent a ransom note demanding
$10,000 to Franks’ wealthy father.<br />
But Leopold and Loeb had made a couple of key mistakes. First, the
body, which was poorly hidden, was discovered the next day. This
prompted an immediate search for the killers, which Loeb himself joined.
The typewriter used to type the ransom note was recovered from a lake
and, more important, a pair of glasses was found near Franks’ body.<br />
When the glasses were traced to Loeb’s optometrist, police learned
that the optometrist had only written three such prescriptions. Two were
immediately accounted for and the third belonged to Nathan Leopold, who
calmly told detectives that he must have dropped them while bird
hunting earlier in the week. This explanation might have proved
sufficient, but reporters covering the case soon discovered other
letters from Leopold that matched the ransom note. When confronted with
this evidence, Leopold and Loeb both confessed.<br />
Clarence Darrow agreed to defend Leopold, and the trial soon became a
national sensation. Darrow, who didn’t argue the boys’ innocence,
directed one of his most famous orations against the death penalty
itself. The judge was swayed and imposed life sentences. Apparently
unsatisfied with the attorney’s work, Leopold’s father later reneged on
his contract to pay Darrow.<br />
In January 1936, a fellow inmate killed Loeb in a bloody razor fight
in the prison’s shower. Leopold was released on parole in 1958 with help
from noted poet Carl Sandburg, who testified on his behalf. He lived
out the rest of his life in Puerto Rico, where he died in 1971.<br />

<div align="left">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">An undertaking business was
established in Westport in 1872 by James M. Burk. As the business name shows,
Mr. Burk was more than just a funeral director, he was also an undertaker. <br />

<div align="left">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">On January 20, 1897, Westport merchant
J. F. "Frank" Hamilton purchased the undertaking establishment from
Mr. Burk. Two months later he added a furniture store. From 1900 to 1914 the
business was located in a two story wood framed building next to the railroad on
Main Street. So rapidly did the business grow, that new headquarters became
necessary. On May 13, 1914 ground was broken for a new brick building. The
building had two floors and a basement. It was arranged so that there were two
separate departments: the furniture store and the undertaking department. The
undertaking department contained a private office, a casket display room and
dressing room. Mr. Hamilton maintained two funeral wagons, an ambulance and a
splendid team of horses. Mr. Hamilton was accredited with being the first
funeral director in Decatur County to use an automobile in the funeral business.
His daughter Leona assisted Mr. Hamilton in the business.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial;">Mr.
Hamilton's Undertaking business was sold to Conn & Emil Hostetler,
who operated the business as Hostetler Brothers Funeral Home. After this
the funeral home was owned by Conn and his wife Katherine and called
simply Hostetler Funeral Home. Assisting them in the funeral business
was their son Connie Mac. The business was moved from it's downtown
location to its current location on Bennett Street on October 27, 1945.
This move marked the 19th anniversary of the Hostetler Funeral Service
in Westport. It continued to serve the area until the death of Mr.
Hostetler on January 21, 1960.</span></div>

<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Arial;"><b>Bass
Funeral Home</b></span></div>
<div align="left">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">In
April 1960, George & Mary Louise Bass purchased the Hostetler
Funeral Home and it became known as the Bass Funeral Home. During this
time the facilities were enlarged and redecorated to keep in the
progression of the present day and age. New areas added to the
facilities during this time was an office area, flower receiving area
and a heated garage for washing vehicles. Along with this was a new
casket display area. This allowed the old display room to be converted
into a larger visitation and chapel area. The Bass's also purchased
property across the street from the funeral home for additional parking.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial;"><b>Bass & Gasper Funeral Home</b></span></div>
<div align="left">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">In January of 1985,
Mike and Cynthia Gasper joined George and Mary Bass in ownership of the
funeral home. During this time additional improvements were made
including handicap ramp access, paved parking lots, new heating and air
conditioning units and remodeling of the building to create a second
visitation and chapel area. The funeral home also became computerized
thus allowing the staff an even faster way of transmitting obituary
information to newspapers and radio stations. It also allows on site
printing of register books, service folders and prayer cards. Many
families have been pre-arranging and funding their funerals. The Bass
& Gasper Funeral Home uses the Forethought ® Group as the funding
vehicle for its pre-need insurance and trusts. In 2005 the funeral home
added an additional large service room to accommodate larger services
and visitors. Mike and Cynthia Gasper
are proud that the funeral home is locally owned and family operated. Together
they operate the business with the same dignity, honor and respect for
which it has been known all of its many years serving the public of
Westport.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><i>In this blog post you will read the memoirs of one of the first pioneer families in Decatur County, Indiana. James E. Hamilton and his brother, Cyrus along with their wives, sisters Jane and Mary McCoy, respectively settled here in 1822 near Kingston. <b>Charity Mitchell </b>from the <b>Historical Society of Decatur County</b> has offered this memoir of James Hamilton's daughter, Nancy Hamilton Adams (1826-1913). This very valuable memoir has been reprinted many times. It will stand as one of the best historical documentations of life in the earliest pioneer days (1830-1850) of Decatur County, Indiana.</i></span></div>

Reminiscences of my Childhood Days</span></span></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">Out of the mists of the memory of my early childhood
arises a square log house where I first saw the light, March 12, 1826. My
parents were Kentuckians. Father, James E. Hamilton, born in Nicholas County in
1795. Mother, Jane McCoy, in Bourbon, an adjoining county, the following year.
They married in 1818. In March, 1822 Father, Mother and their two little
children, Philander and Robert A., also Cyrus Hamilton, a brother of my
Father’s, and Polly McCoy, a sister of my Mother’s, who had just been married, emigrated
with them to Decatur Co., Indiana, near what is now Kingston. They went in
hired wagons. Much of the way was a wilderness, and they followed a blazed
trial, which served as a guide through the unbroken<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>forest, and on the 11<sup>th</sup> day of
March unloaded their household goods by the side of a large poplar log (Tulip
tree), the wagons and drivers returning to Kentucky. A <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>temporary shelter was made out of bark, until
logs were cut and a cabin erected. Here, away from the blighting influence of
slavery, they began their life work to found a home for themselves and their
children, and how they worked! Later, a second cabin was built, the one in
which I was born. In 1830 the brick house was built, where I passed my
childhood and girlhood, until my marriage to Jacob Clendenin Adams, June 7,
1849. Those early days of my life were indeed in the long ago, and primitive
times they were, of life in the far west, as Indiana was then considered.
Father being a man of great energy, and strong will and frame, kept everything
moving about him. Mother, was energetic and ambitious too, but worked beyond
her strength. Almost all the cloth needed for clothing for the family and the
home furnishing was manufactured at home. Flax was raised and spun and woven
into cloth. The process of getting the flax into thread, as I remember it, was
this:<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The flax was pulled up by hand out
of the ground, and left spread out to dry a while, then was gathered up and
laid a big bundle at a time on a hand machine and pounded to break the coarse fibre
which encrusted it. Then came the scutching process. A large handful was held
by one hand on an upright board or post, and with the other hand on a long
knife shaped wooden instrument the flax was scutched or beaten downwards, thus
getting out the broken crusty pieces, and the flax was ready for the hackle.
This was a board about six by twelve inches, in which sharp iron spikes were
placed in upright position. The flax was drawn through this machine by handfuls
again and again,<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>taking out all the coarse
flax or tow, as it was called, leaving the long fine glossy fibres which was
spun into very fine thread, and woven into table linen, sheets, pillow slips,
sewing thread, etc. The tow was also spun into thread and woven into cloth for
men’s trousers, flour sacks, wagon covers, towels, etc. The flax was wound
around a distaff, and always spun on a little wheel. I have often seen my
mother sit and spin flax. I loved to watch her draw out the thread turning the
wheel rapidly all the time with her foot which was on the treadle. It was easy,
comfortable looking work. In summer we wore home made cotton dresses. The
cotton thread was bought and part of it colored indigo blue, and part with
copperas making an orange yellow, and a little white was put in to brighten it.
This was woven into striped, or checked cloth, good and strong, and looked very
well too. The<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>dresses are expected to
last, and did last two years—well suited to healthy, romping, climbing
children. I remember of being perched in an apple tree one day, and attempting
to jump from one of the lower limbs to the ground, distance of eight or ten
feet, but alas, the hem of my cotton dress caught on a project and there I hung
suspended head downward. As I was alone and some distance from the house I despaired
of anyone finding me and thought I would die, but my good mother heard my cries
and to my great joy came to my relief.</span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Flannel
was made for winter wear. The wool was sheared off the sheep, washed,<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>dried and all the burrs and trash carefully
picked out, then sent to a carding machine, (I can just remember of hand cards
being used for a small amount of wool) to be made into rolls, when it was
brought home, spun into thread and dyed with indigo and madder, which made a
pretty red color (No diamond dyes in those days). This was also woven into
stripes or checks, and made very pretty comfortable dresses. For the men and
boys jeans was made, also what was called fulled cloth. I think the latter was
used for overcoats. Woolen stockings were universally worn, and of<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>course knit at home. Sugar, soap, starch,
candles, etc., were also made. I can remember of my Mother making buttons out
of thread. Perhaps haw thorns were used for pins, but I do not remember. There
was little to buy anything with, and for such things as were absolutely
necessary, some kind of cloth was usually made, and exchanged for them.</span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The
canning process was then unknown and there was much drying of fruit. There was
a great abundance of peaches. The long row of trees extending along one side of
the large apple orchard were always full year after year of luscious fruit. A
great deal of it went to waste, or rather was fed to the hogs, but a great many
bushels were dried on a kiln made for the purpose. Apples were dried in the sun
as as the kiln did not answer so well for them. I think much more apples and
peaches were dried than were used at home, and were exchanged for necessaries.
In the very early days Father tanned the leather and made our shoes at night
when he could not work on the farm. These were only worn in the winter time or
to church, and I do not suppose had much style to them. There was very little
work hired—friends and neighbors exchanged work, helped each other. There were
many house and barn raisings, log rollings, (great black walnut logs were burnt
or split into rails), corn huskings, flax pullings, wool pickings, apple
parings, quiltings, etc. Corn planting was always<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>a busy time and all the help possible was
taken from the house. I was considered a good dropper—could drop the corn in
the intersections of straight rows running both ways, so the corn could be
plowed both length and crosswise. It was very tiresome walking on the plowed
ground and the dinner horn was a welcome sound, so was the setting sun
longingly watched for, as that was the signal for quitting work. The first four
working days of the week mother would weave, spin, dye, etc., day in and day
out and then on Friday and Saturday came washing and ironing, mending, baking
and scouring till everything shone and was in readiness for the Sabbath. By
this time she was often laid up with a terrible sick headache, but I do not
know that it ever occurred to her that it was caused by overwork. Her busy life
was ended when she was fifty-four. My dear, sainted Mother! She was one of the
excellent of the earth. Always sympathetic, affectionate, in confidence and
touch with her children in all their joys and sorrows. No wonder, she was
beloved. Father was different in my ways. A man of few words, undemonstrative,
but quick tempered and absolute in his government, which was more<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>common in those days.There were no “whys” or
“what fors”, instant obedience was expected and given, so he had little
occasion to punish. Doubtless he loved his children but he did not show it, as a
consequence there was a good deal of fear mixed with the love his children had
for him. While not demonstrative, his love for his children was evidence by his
gifts of land on the marriage of each of his children, and later by more land
to each one, and still later of money in considerable amounts. In this way he
showed more affection and trust than most fathers, and I will insert here a
tribute lately received from my brother Robert who is still living at the ripe
old age of eighty-six years.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>“Father was
a public spirited man in all public enterprises and improvements --- did more
work<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>and gave more money than any man to
build the railroad (Big Four) to Indianapolis which has grown to a great
system. Though as I look back now he took a fearful risk in endorsing the bonds
to get money to build the road. If the road had failed, as some of them did, it
would have bankrupted him, and as I look back at him leaving the hills of
Kentucky a poor man with a small family, stopping in the woods (of Indiana)
until a rude cabin was built to shelter the little family, and his long steady
life work in building up a great county, I see him in front of a race of
giants. He grows bigger and broader as the years go on and the world
progresses. He did his full part in the day he lived.” I may add that he left
benefactions to church and community in which he lived, that will ever keep his
memory green. He lived to be nearly eighty-six, and his character and
disposition ripened, and sweetened as the days and years went by so that he was
beloved by all, and his children and children’s children could rise up and call
him blessed.</span></span></div>

</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But to
go back to my childhood days. Accidents happened of course. I will relate one
which seemed very serious for a time as I came near losing an eye. When I was
about five years old I fell from a high rail fence on to a clump of<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>spice bushes, and one of the branches ran up
one of my nostrils. I pulled out the projecting stick before help reached me.
The blood streamed from nose and mouth, and there was a very sick little girl
carried home that day and for several weeks afterwards. The opposite eye from
the sore nostril was greatly affected, swollen, almost to bursting with the
lids always closed and every effort to open them seemed unavailing. The doctor
probed in my nose but could find nothing, yet he felt convinced that a piece of
the stick had been left in somewhere which caused so much inflammation and
found he was correct by fitting the pieces of the stick together, but as no one
knew what could be done about it, some weeks passed with but little change when
a remarkable circumstances happened. A good faithful animal, the mother of a
young colt, had been sick for hours with what they called colic, and at bed
time father left her in the door yard, thinking nothing more could be done for
her, but the suffering creature seemingly in hope of relief went round and
round the house, until finally she fell against one of the side doors which
burst from its hinges, landed on top of a bed that providentially was not
occupied, and poor Dolly fell dead on the floor inside the room. I was lying in
my mother’s arms and with the shock my eye opened which had been so long
closed. My mother’s heart overflowed with thanksgiving and tears of joy fell on
my face and from that time on my eye improved steadily. I was aware that there
were grave fears that I would be disfigured for life and for some timer there
was a great difference in my eyes, but I outgrew this to a great extent. But
the strangest part of this incident remains to be told. About twenty-three
years after the accident occurred, and had been almost forgotten, I was sitting
one evening reading aloud to my family, which was rendered difficult by my
nose<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>being much stopped up with cold,
and I resolved to make an effort to clear it with a good blow, when lo, the
identical piece of spice stick, loosened from its mooring of so many years, put
in its appearance. I felt it come into my nostril and pressed it out. It was in
a good state of preservation, about one and one-half inches long and only one
half of the stick, the crease for the pitch showing plainly on that side and
there was considerable bark on the other side. It was thought it had lodged in
the cavity in front of the brain, and I was not aware of the occupant,
doubtless it was better so. </span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There
were no ranges or cooking stoves. All the cooking was done in the great fire
place, across which was an iron bar or crane, from which hung a number of pot
hooks. From these were suspended kettles, pots and boilers for the cooking
process. A very few had brick ovens built for baking, but we had none. We used
pot metal skillets and ovens with lids for baking bread and all such things.
They were placed on the hearth before the fire with coals put underneath and on
the lids, and sweeter bread was never made, although it was hot, trying work in
front of a big fire of logs. The bread for every day use was usually made of
corn meal, often what we called “Johnny Cake”, which was baked on a long narrow
board about six inches wide and baked in front of the fire. It was delicious,
so was the light corn pone. This was put into quite a large oven and baked all
night in the corner of the fire place. How good it was for breakfast with
plenty of good butter and rich sweet milk. Wheat was somewhat scarce. I can
remember when it was cut with a sickle and the grain tramped out by horses on
the barn floor. Flouring mills were not very accessible. In the early days
Father would pile on his large horse, Old Charley, quite a number of sacks of
wheat and go to Whitewater to mill to have it ground into flour. This was
twenty miles away and the trip would not be made very often and the flour had
to last a long time. Some grist mills for grinding corn were scattered through
the country. As soon as the growing corn was dry enough, we children grated
corn every afternoon from which delicious mush was made for supper. Mush and
milk was the supper for the family all the year round, and what was left over
was warmed up in milk for breakfast for us children. Boiled dinners were
universal. The meat was boiled in a pot over the fire and some sort of
vegetable cooked with it. As a rule there were no second courses, corn bread
and milk completing the meal. When we went from home it was on horseback, often
two on a horse, and in case of children one behind and one before was very
common. Visitors were always expected to stay for a meal, and to stay all night
was a common way of visiting.</span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>As
there were no matches it was never expected to let the fire go out, or coals
would have to be brought from the neighbors. Some fire was always covered in
the ashes when not needed for heat. But I have said nothing about any pleasures
that we had. It was not all work and no play. Child life in the country in many
ways is beautiful. The restful memory picture that comes back to me often times
is of myself and my younger sister, Mary, roaming over the blue grass pastures
in the warm bright spring days. It was a lovely place thickly studded over with
sugar maples. Wild flowers in great variety were in abundance, as were the
feathered songsters. We gathered flowers to our hearts’ content, hunted<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>the birds’ nests, also the<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>nests of the geese or lingered around the
fascinating young goslings. Then there was the winding branch, or brook, where
we wondered up and down, removing all obstructions so the clear water could
ripple over the pebbly bottom, and we could watch the little minnows dart in
and out or glide peacefully along with the current. Oh, the city child does not
know of such happiness! Communion with nature is always helpful, always
uplifting. David as the shepherd boy communed with nature, so when he became
the “Sweet Singer of Israel”, what beautiful imagery he had. “Like the tree
planted by the rivers of water”, “As the hart pantest after the water brooks”.
“He maketh me to lie down in green pastures, He leadeth me beside the still
waters”. “The Heavens declare the glory of God, -etc. Also the 104 Psalm
complete, and many, many other portions.</span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But I
digress, I have not spoken of the educational facilities of my childhood years.
Church and Sunday School were started almost with the settlement. The first
church building was a large round log structure, Sunday School was at 9 A.M.
after which came morning service – a sermon of goodly length. Then an
intermission of about an hour when we ate our lunch, then assembled again for
another service. So it was along in the afternoon before we reached home, when
the catechism was studied and recited to Father in the evening. We took all
this as a matter of course and I do not remember that we considered the day at
all tiresome. There were day schools for a few months in the winter as soon as
there were children to go to them. I was started when I was almost four years
old. My first school was across the country about a mile through the wood. In a
small brick room which was built in the pastor’s yard for his study, and which
he gave up for a time for school purposes. The long parsonage of several rooms
stood near by. The Teacher, Miss Susan Howe, was a Yankee school marm whom the
pastor had brought from the East. Home missionary work, no doubt. She was a
sweet lovable woman. Children were not dressed so warmly in those days as
now—no warm underwear. Not even drawers of any kind. So baby that I was I often
reached the school room almost frozen, when this kind good woman would take me
on her lap to warn me up, put my stiffened fingers in her warm bosom to thaw
them out. I remember of crying with the cold as I trudged home through the
freshly fallen snow which flew up on my bare limbs and stiffened my skirts. My
oldest brother, Philander, was along. He was about eleven years old and I
thought him quite a big boy. He saw my distress and persuaded me that I could
run faster than he could and we would soon be home, so he made a pretense of
running very fast, but let me get ahead, thus beguiling me into forgetfulness
of my troubles. Not long after this a brick school house was built near our
home and I had no more tribulations in getting to and from school. I have
always thought that our teachers were superior to those of country
neighborhoods generally. Not only were “The Three R’s taught, but grammar and
geography<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>as well, and very thoroughly
too, especially was good spelling insisted upon. Spelling<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Matches formed part of the routine in school.
I was always chosen first as I seldom missed a word. Arithmetic was not
considered so important for girls. I remember of doing an example in long
division which covered one side of my slate. I was so proud of it that I
carried it home to show my Father. He looked at it but refused to believe that
I had done it without assistance. I never progressed very far, for my school
life ended when I was very Young. It was very seldom indeed that anyone was
from home in order to have better advantages in school. My oldest Brother, of
whom I have spoken, while yet a boy, had an accident to his knee that made him
a cripple for life, and on that account he was sent to Hanover College where he
was graduated in 1839. This brother so full of promise passed away in early
manhood aged twenty-eight years. I do not suppose there was a thought of my
other brother, Robert, going away. For he was to be a farmer, of course, which
was all right in his case for he made a very successful one. When I was eleven
years old I was taken out of school, and put to the spinning wheel. It nearly
broke my heart. I shall never forget the wretchedness of that first day. How
weary, footsore and hopeless I felt as I walked back and forth by that big
wheel, trying to draw out the rolls of wool into something like even thread.
With practice the art became easier, but I never was an expert. I never could
accomplish as much as my older sister, Margaret, so after a while when I was
older I was set to weaving on a loom. This I liked better than spinning and I
wove a great many years of cloth of different kinds in the years that
intervened until woolen mills were started through the county, which took this
kind of work out of the homes. I had no regret in no longer hearing the hum of
the spinning wheel or not seeing the shuttle fly back and forth in the hand
loom. I have spoken of my sister, Margaret, and the very name brings up this
bright capable sister. Beautiful, too, she was, and so as young girls together,
I so timid and bashful, I almost lived and moved and had my being in her, and
was almost inconsolable when she married and went to a home of her own. During
these years my school days seemed to be ended, but when I was eighteen a new
pastor came to us, whose wife and an educated eastern woman, and who probably
seeing a special need, opened a private school in her own house, to which I was
only to glad to go. There was a rapid review of the studies we had previously
gone over, and some new ones added.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>United States history, advance in Arithmetic, Comstock’s Philosophy,
with Astronomy in the back part, was taught. I was very much interested in
these studies for they seemed to open up a new world of thought. But it was all
too short, only lasted one winter, and was my “finishing school”. How
insignificant were my opportunities<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>compared with those of the girls of the present time. I often wonder
what the girls and women of the twentieth century will do with their great
opportunities. I trust make better<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>wives, better mothers, beautiful in Christian Character, and in all that
goes to make truly womanly women. I had another sister, Fidelia, whom I have
not mentioned. She was nearly twelve years younger and so came little into my
childhood and girlhood, and after we left the home did not live near each
other. The changes that have come since those early days are almost like the
passage to another planet. Changes in the whole comfort, convenience and
healthfulness of living and working, and in the relief of the sick and
suffering. </span></span></div>

</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Just
before the discovery of Chloroform my poor Mother underwent a very painful
surgical operation. The eminent surgeon for the time, Dr. Mussey of Cincinnati,
Ohio, said she was very brave, greatly above the average, but even yet it makes
me shudder to think of it, and regret that this wonderful discovery<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>did not come sooner. So it was with many,
many other things. The telephone, telegraph, phonograph, and so many other
wonderful inventions, too many to even mention in this paper. They would have
seemed incredible within my memory, and I often wonder if there can be as many
changes and inventions in the next century as in the last one. Flying from one place
to another seems almost here, but it is useless to<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>surmise what will take place in the future.
Even the end of the world may be near at hand,<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>for we “know not the day nor the hour”. One by one the little flock that
was sheltered and nurtured in the old house of my childhood has passed over the
river. My brother Robert and myself alone remain awaiting the sound of the “Boatman’s
oar”, and of the voice “Fear not, I will pilot thee”. </span></span></div>

<i><span style="font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Courier;">This town was laid out in 1822 by Thomas Hendricks,
on elevated ground. The total estimate of trade and commerce for this place for
1857, amounted to $l,500,000. It contains the finest courthouse in the State, built,
at an expense of $100,000; built in the middle of the public square, and which
adds a great deal to the appearance of the town. It has two steam flouring mills,
which manufacture a large quantity of superfine flour. It contains ten dry goods
stores, twelve groceries, two carriage shops, two wagon shops, two saw mills, four
jewelry stores, two daguerrean galleries, ten boot and shoe stores, two
newspapers—the Democrat and Republican—five clothing stores, one bank, one large
agricultural ware-house, one forwarding and commission warehouse, two drug stores,
four hotels, one large union school, together with a number of select schools, all
very well attended; four churches, viz: one Baptist, one Methodist, one Presbyterian
and one Campbellite, having each neat and commodious places of worship. Greensburgh
has the usual number of lawyers, doctors, ministers, &c. Population 2,500.</span></i></div>

determined to be a fatal mistake and decided to avoid the usual route and try a
new trail recently blazed by California promoter Lansford Hastings, the
so-called "Hastings Cutoff." After electing George Donner as their captain,
the party departed Fort Bridger in mid-July. The shortcut was nothing of
the sort: It set the Donner Party back nearly three weeks and cost them
much-needed supplies. After suffering great hardships in the Wasatch Mountains,
the Great Salt Lake Desert and along the Humboldt River, they finally reached
the Sierra Nevada Mountains in early October. Despite the lateness of the
season, the emigrants continued to press on, and on October 28 they camped at
Truckee Lake, located in the high mountains northwest of Lake Tahoe. Overnight,
an early winter storm blanketed the ground with snow, blocking the mountain
pass and trapping the “Donner Party”.</span></span></span></div>

known as the Forlorn Hope, set out west on snowshoes for Sutter's Fort near </span><span style="color: windowtext; font-family: Antiqua; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%; text-decoration: none; text-underline: none;">San Francisco</span><span style="line-height: 115%;"> on December 16.

Fort proved equally harrowing, and the last survivors didn't reach safety until

<b>Excerpts from the memoirs of Oscar Miller as told in the 1950’s</b><br />
compiled by Marc Haston<br />
The Courthouse and Its Famous Tree<br />
The Courthouse was built in the year 1854, and at the time the large
courtroom was on the ground floor and occupied the whole central portion
of the building with county offices on each end. The clerk’s and
recorder’s offices were in the east end of the building, and the
treasurer’s and auditor’s offices in the west end as at present. In
going back and forth from and to these offices it was necessary to pass
through the big court room. There is a large, round stone inserted and
built into the west wall, on which it is shown that Caleb Starke,
William Magnus and Andra McCoy were the county commissioners at the time
this courthouse was built; and it also shows that Edwin May was the
architect.<br />
The Architecture of this old building is very pleasing.
Although it has stood the ravaging storms of over one hundred years, it
shows but little effect of time or age. This handsome structure will
today stand a very favorable comparison in grace and beauty with any of
the new courthouses of the state. When it was first built the large
courtroom, which occupied most of the ground floor of the building, was
exceedingly ornate and beautiful. The ceiling extended to a considerable
height with a vaulted ornamentation much after the fashion of a
cathedral. The majestic height of the walls and ceiling of this room was
very impressive. From the apex of the courtroom swung three large and
elaborate chandeliers with three rows of lamps, one above the other, to
each chandelier.<br />
The judge’s desk, from which he presided, was a
high elaborate affair with a good sized counter suitable for books and
papers. The approaches to the judge’s platform were entered by possibly
five steps on each side. This gave the judge considerable elevation
above the lawyers and jury. There was a nicely ornamented fence
separating the court and lawyers from the audience room, which had a
seating capacity of probably two hundred people. Above the dais where
his honor, the presiding judge, sat was a very large painting which
represented the goddess of justice. The exterior walls of this building
were constructed or red brick, but of recent years the outside walls
have been coated to represent stone.<br />
The upper part of the clock
tower was actually built out of stone. About seventy-five years ago a
small tree made its appearance on the south side of this stone tower.
Great efforts were made by the city to destroy it by shooting it off,
and they even got out the fire engine and attempted to blow the tree
off, but the stream of water was not strong enough. Mr. Ripley in his
“Believe It Or Not” notes proclaimed it to be one of his unbelievable
wonders. This tree on the tower has now become a wonder of the world.
Today it stands up there in all its majesty on the tower over two
hundred fifty feet from the ground. People from all countries of the
world have looked at this famous tree with wonder and astonishment. As
the years have gone by, the people of Greensburg have become fully
reconciled to the existence of this lofty visitor, and have done much to
extend its life and perpetuate its existence.<br />
Now, while speaking
of this courthouse, I find by county commissioners’ records that my
father, Augustus Miller, was a commissioner for a period of six years,
from 1889 to 1893 inclusive. He had been county commissioner in Rush
County, Indiana for two terms before he came to Greensburg in 1881. By
serving in that office he naturally became acquainted and proficient in
handling county business. I never did regard my father as a politician,
but he seemed to impress the public mind very favorably. As a farmer and
businessman he could be counted as a conservative. He had voted for
Abraham Lincoln; and, of course, he was a Republican. I think he must
have cast his first vote for John C. Freemont, who was nominated as the
first man to be chosen as a candidate for president of the newly
organized Republican Party. This new party was made up of the old Wig
party, the Freesoil and Know Nothing parties, together with a number of
Democrats who had become dissatisfied with the VanBuren-Polk
administration, and the cheap and unsatisfactory money conditions under
Jackson.<br />
In speaking of my father Augustus Miller, I may have to
hazard a repetition of saying something I have already said in these
memoirs. My father was a man of good, sound judgment. His education was
obtained from common schools of Rush County, Indiana, where he was born.
He was never swept away by any isms and fly-up-the-creek schemes that
might have been floating about the country to catch the unwary. He
attended to his own business and did not muss around into other people’s
affairs. However, he was very generous and helpful to any of his
neighbors who might be in trouble or in need of assistance.<br />
As to my father’s nationality, I think he was mostly of German blood; however, his mother may have been of English extraction.<br />
The Commissioners Buy the Toll Roads<br />
When my father assumed the office of county commissioner in December,
1889 there existed a large number of gravel and stone toll roads in
various parts of the county. These roads were owned and operated by toll
companies. Toll gates were erected and maintained by toll gate keepers,
and a charge of something like two or three cents could be collected
for each mile traveled. To facilitate the collection of tolls, Large
poles were erected extending across the road which could be raised or
lowered as occasions might be necessary to compel the traveler to pay.
In effect these toll companies owned these roads, and were supposed to
keep them in repair. (These roads were owned and operated similarly to
the large automobile turnpikes that are at present being built in
various parts of the United States.)<br />
My father, along with other
members of the board, came to the conclusion that these toll roads in
Decatur County were a sort of nuisance and for all practical purposes
had outlived their days of public usefulness. My father had come from a
county where all roads were free. He talked with many of his
constituents who had elected him, and tried to create a sentiment for
the county to buy the toll roads throughout the county and make all
roads free. This idea met with a happy response from the people. The
commissioners then proceeded to take legal steps for the appraisement of
the roads and the proper appropriations for the money were made and all
toll roads in the county were transferred by assignment of ownership to
the county. There was but very little opposition to the buying of these
toll roads and doing away with the nuisance which had been an eyesore
maintained as a back number and hinderance to the freedom of the
traveling public. The businessmen of Greensburg gave great praise for
the action my father had taken in buying these roads, as a barrier had
been removed which hindered people from freely coming to the city to
trade with the merchants. The buying of these roads was a movement in
the direction of real and beneficial progress, and was such a popular
movement that when it came for the election of my father for a second
term, he had but little or no opposition.<br />
Many Stone Arch Bridges Were Built<br />
During the time that my father was a member of the Board of
Commissioners the question of bridges came up. The members of the Board
went together and made a thorough examination of the bridges over the
entire county. It was discovered that many of the small bridges over the
creeks and streams were in bad condition. Many of them had been built
out of wood that had to be repaired of rebuilt from time to time, which
was a constant expense to the county. My father thought this was bad
economy. There was an abundance of fine stone in all parts of the
county. Why not build the bridges and culverts out of stone, constructed
in the form of arches, thus having no wood whatever to decay and rot
out? To this suggestion the other members of the Board fully agreed; and
the building of stone arch bridges was a good and economical idea, as
it would not cost much more to build out of stone than wood.<br />
At the
next regular monthly meeting of the Board it was agreed that from then
on all small bridges and even some of the larger bridges should be of
arch construction out of Decatur County limestone wherever it was at all
feasible. The other two members of the Board agreed that as Mr. Miller
had had considerable experience in such matters, he be chosen personally
to look over and superintend the building and repair of all bridges in
the county. My father set to work to build a number if one arch bridges
over the small streams where the old wooden bridges were in a state of
decay and unfit for public travel. He did these small jobs with a gang
of men consisting of good stone cutters and stone masons who were well
adapted and proficient in this class of work. In all cases plans and
specifications were drawn by a competent engineer; and it was my
father’s business to see that these plans were carried out. However,
where the creek was so large that a bridge of more than one arch would
be required, he would be advertised and let to the lowest bidder. But
father would always stick to stone construction, and would never advise
that bridges be built of wood or iron, for all the creeks and streams in
the county. His old Dutch or German ideas were to build to build out of
stone which would last for untold ages. He contended that iron and wood
are both perishable, while stone arch bridges are beautiful and will
last for many generations yet unborn. He has long since passed away, but
many arch bridges still stand as monuments to his good judgment and
unselfish labor while he was among the living.<br />
The building of stone
bridges became so popular on account of their durability and moderate
cost of construction that scarcely any other material is now used in
Decatur County. The large stone bridge that crosses Big Flatrock River
on the entrance into the town of St. Paul was built completely out of
stone with high stone parapets to protect the traveling public. This
bridge has a series of five arches, all built out of beautiful blur
limestone; and the foundation of each arch is securely imbedded in the
solid rock that extends under the bottom of the river. This bridge is
wide and commodious for automobile travel. I think it was constructed
after my fathers term of office had expired; however, it is a fair
example of many of the arch bridges that were built while he was a
member of the Board of Commissioners. The New York Central Railroad
bridge that crosses the river parallel with this bridge is built out of

Although her memoir sounds happy, the Craven family story is
a sad one. Eusebia Craven was born in Decatur County in 1846.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Her father was Hermon James Craven born in
Indiana in 1816. Her mother Nancy Miller was born in Ohio in 1820, and was
living in Hamilton County, Ohio in December 24, 1841 when they were
married.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Eusebia’s parents lost one baby, Thomas J. Craven at 8 months of age
in 1849. The cause of death is listed as flux (diarrhea). Mr. Craven died in January 1856 when Eusebia was just 10 years
old. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Seven months later in August her
brother Hermon James, Jr. died at the age of 1 month. Nancy Craven had been

<div class="MsoNormal">
The
parents of Mrs. Stimson were prominent citizens of Greensburg, and a
brief sketch of their lives will be of interest to the readers of this
volume. Herman James Craven was born in Oxford, Ohio, December 10, 1815,
his family being of English and Irish descent. Thomas Craven, the
paternal grandfather, lived near Philadelphia in colonial days, and with
his two sons took an active part in the Revolutionary war. Thomas
Craven, one of his sons, was born near Philadelphia, found his way west
and from Pittsburg floated down the Ohio river on a flatboat, landing at
Cincinnati, then a small village. From there he went to Franklin
county, Indiana, where he remained a short time, after which he entered
and settled upon a farm near Oxford, Ohio. He had been for many years a
teacher and preacher, and when forty-five years of age entered Miami
University, completing the course of study five years later. Dr. Scott,
the father-in-law of ex-President Benjamin Harrison, was at that time a
professor in the university. In his early life Mr. Craven adhered to the
faith of the Presbyterian church, but afterward united with the Baptist
denomination, and to that church he devoted his earnest efforts for
many years. He led a busy, useful life, being constantly engaged in
doing good. He was an old-line Whig, with strong anti-slavery
convictions, and the crowning act of his life was the founding of the
Eleutherian College, in Jefferson county, Indiana, where students,
without regard to race or color, could be educated together. He died at
that place in 1860, when sixty-eight years of age. His wife was Rebecca
Selfridge, and they had ten children.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Herman J. Craven, father of Mrs. Stimson, was
reared upon his father's farm, near Oxford, Ohio, and when thirty years
of age removed to Decatur county, Indiana, and purchased a farm of more
than two hundred acres, one mile southeast of Greensburg, on the old
historic pike. This land had few or no improvements, but with the thrift
and industry which characterized his entire life Mr. Craven began the
task of clearing and cultivating the place and continued his efforts
until it became a productive and valuable farm. He began life without
capital, but acquired a handsome fortune and became an influential and
honored citizen. In those days the labor that devolved upon the farmer
was much greater than it is at present, from the fact that there were no
railroads and all products of the soil had to be hauled by teams to
market; and the nearest market to Mr. Craven was Cincinnati.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Mr. Craven was very active in church work, both at
Sand Creek and in Greensburg, where he served for many years as deacon
and in other official positions. He was a leader in and liberal
supporter of all religious and philanthropic movements in the
neighborhood. Like his father, and indeed all the members of his family,
he was a pronounced anti-slavery man and was one of the most willing
workers on the "underground railroad," a term scarcely understood by the
present generation. By this arrangement slaves who escaped from their
masters and were successful in reaching a free state were passed along
at night from the home of one anti-slavery man to another until they
could enter Canada, after which they were safe. It required a bold and
courageous spirit to thus defy the law of the land and render oneself
liable to its penalties by aiding the poor blacks; but Mr. Craven was
fearless where right and duty to his fellow men were concerned, and many
a poor, trembling fugitive had cause to bless him for his chance to
become a free man. He did not live to see the downfall of slavery, his
death occurring in 1856; but it was the never ceasing protest of such
men as he that bore fruit in the Emancipation Proclamation.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Mr. Craven was married to Nancy Martin, who was
born in Hamilton county, Ohio, near Cincinnati, and they became the
parents of five children, but all died before reaching maturity with the
exception of Mrs. Stimson.</div>

<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">At the request of the officers of the Decatur County Historical Society, I am describing some pictures which have been hanging on memories’ walls for a long time. I shall not pretend to be accurate always as to dates. In my present state of age, blindness, and weakness, it would not be possible – but perhaps even in this rushing era someone will like to pause a little while and listen how things seemed in the forties, fifties and etc. Hoping to please those who care to listen, I shall begin with the evolution of the Michigan Road. This road may be said to start of Greensburg at the old court house and jail which stood in the southeast corner of the Court House Park. The long white two story brick Moss house was on the left and just where the road turned south was the low Black-smith’s shop. No more buildings on the left, but where the railroad now crosses was the ancient graveyard. On the right was the house of the carding machine where wool was made into rolls. I think a log house – then country began. The clay hill on the right was cut down to grade the road as it went into little Sand creek. There were beech trees growing on either side of the road, and up, up, up the teams pulled to the top of the hill. There were more beech trees, only two dwellings on the left –none on the right but trees, trees, trees. Clay banks on either side and down another longer hill the team plunged across the waters of Sand creek, which often reached to the wagon wheel hubs. <br /><br />Up the high steep hill, then there were several small hills with little ravines or brooks to be crossed between. At the end of a mile and a half -- a level mile was reached --then more steep hills -- three pairs of them -- and the sparkling waters of “Cobb’s Fork” between the last pair -- more little hills -- and at the end of four miles – “Slab Town” – not a loose stone to be seen – clay soil everywhere and beech forests on either side interspersed with a few homes. It was such an event to come to Greensburg – sitting on a little rocking chair in the big wagon bed to watch the prancing black team plunge through the water – down and up the hills – till the big stream was reached. The team could hardly wait till Father walked out on the wagon tongue – lowered the rein and let them drink to their fill of the cold clear water. But oh! That clay soil. The summer dust was deep and flew in clouds behind every passing wagon – but the worst trouble came with winter rains and freezes. There were at least six mud holes between my home and town, through which it was impossible to draw wagons sometimes for days. Horseback riding for both men and women was practiced and horses stepped carefully on the road side often emitting a loud sucking sound as they drew their feet from the mud. Then freezing stiffened the ruts and footprints into hard bumps and travel was rough. Sometime in the late forties or fifties some progressive spirits conceived the idea of using surplus trees to improve the situation, and what had been “corduroy” or whole logs to fill the low swampy places was supplanted by a continuous plank road to lead from Madison to Greensburg. How long this was in building I do not know but it furnished work for hundreds of Irish people and was stopped unfinished on the hill where what was called “Foley’s Lane” came in from the south. In the summer of 1852, on top of the hill on the right stood a group of perhaps eight or ten one room shanties in which the workers, wives and children lived. They were a jolly bunch. When work was done but when whiskey was indulged in freely there was hilarity and often bloody quarrels. The unfinished plank road did not give satisfaction. The trees were gone and repairs could not be kept up. Some one thought of stone and gravel and then we got the Greensburg to Layton’s Mill Pike. Scores of workmen with plows and patient oxen graded down the steeper hills, hauled the broken stones and spread the surface with gravel. Timber bridges and culverts crossed the streams and brooks, but this did not take place until the late sixties. First there was the Indian trail from Madison which town in those days rivaled Cincinnati in importance. Trees on either side of the trail were marked by the ax or blazed, as it was called. The roadway cleared sixty feet wide and hemmed in by rail fences called worm fences. Sometimes a post and rail fence in front of a home, then the attempted plank road followed by stone and gravel and then the concrete highway called “29”. First a trail then a road then a pike now a highway. How strange it would seem now to have no railroads with their frequent trains for passengers or freight, but people drove with private teams from place to place. The journey from Indianapolis to Cincinnati by old stage coach occupied two days. After spending the night in the old tavern opposite the jail, the four horse vehicle rolled out, the second day on “29” as far as Napoleon, where it turned to the left and proceeded to Cincinnati.<br /><br />After farm work was done in the fall, farmers often took their families back to Ohio or Kentucky to visit those left in the old home, thus, antedating the passenger trains with wagons or horseback riding. There was stock to be sold and grain to be hauled to market. The latter was driven to Madison or Cincinnati. It was a common sight to look out and see a large herd of cattle driven by men walking. In the rear were wagons drawn by teams. When any of the fat porkers were too tired to continue the hundred mile journey, they were lifted into the wagons and hauled to the end. Flocks of turkeys also sometimes were driven to market and found their own sleeping places in trees by the way side. For the accommodations of all these travelers there were taverns. The first on “29” was on the hilltop on the left, beyond little Sand creek. The tall posts on the roadside had a square frame on top in which was a swinging sign with the name of the tavern keeper, “R. Smith”. About a mile beyond on the same side of the road was the “Ross Tavern”, a little larger in size but both alike in shape, one part a story and a half in height with a smaller one story addition on the end. The latter in the Ross Tavern (or hotel) was used for a kitchen and dining room. The large lower room of the other part was filled with beds. A huge fireplace upstairs, the half story also had beds. Travelers in those days had their jokes and fun for the low ceiling of this room had been covered with decorations made with smoking candles on white walls. Some were names, initials or pictures. Beyond this was a log tavern. Still further was a brick building called the “Cobb Tavern”. Almost every mile furnished sleeping accommodations for the weary travelers, and the landladies of these taverns established reputations for fine biscuits, fried ham, sausage, and plenty of strong coffee. The bedsteads were of beautiful cherry wood varnished two posts at the head, beautifully turned, with a round ball at the top reaching to about our chin in height. These posts were united by a beautifully shaped headboard. The foot posts were a little lower and not so ornamental. On the upper side of the square rails which united head and foot were driven pegs three or four inches apart and the bed cords were around from side to side. On this foundation of cords was laid a strongly made tick filled with straw over which were spread the sheets, quilts, blankets, and coverlets. For warmth and softness the feather bed on top of the straw was used. The charge for accommodations at these taverns was nothing compared to the prices now asked for a place to sleep and eat. Dwellings were few, only the tavern and the Dr.’s home between the two Sand creeks. The next two houses on the opposite sides of the road were built of logs. After passing the second tavern were two frame houses with log stables and cribs. The Sandcreek Baptist Church with the beginning of a little graveyard came next and a vacant mile was passed before the next frame house in a locust grove with its log out-buildings. On past the next log tavern, the first country school house was reached and a low brick dwelling which had replaced the log house on the roadside until the Cobb Tavern was reached. This was a most pretentious building for the times, of brick. Later the brick home of James b. Foley was built. It was a great event for James B. Foley was to become our congressman. He lived on the Michigan Road and called his home “Locust Grove”. It was perhaps the first country residence to have a name.<br />The Sandcreek church was one of the few which had a frame building. It had no foundation, but was set upon stone pillars high enough above the ground to accommodate the hogs which were allowed to run in the road to find comfortable sleeping quarters underneath. These swine were not always quiet sleepers and the sermon of the preacher or the singing of the congregation did not always blend harmoniously with the squealing underneath. Sheep when they went into that same bedroom were more quiet. There was no fence around the church premises and the wagons loaded with worshippers were driven under the shade of the walnut or beech trees. Before the house had been built, there had been one immense tree on the lot which had fallen and laid there for years. The trunk of this tree where it left the stump was nearly as high as a horse’s back. The log was a great convenience to the women horseback riders who attended the church services. The horses were guided to the log and the riders stepped from their saddles upon it. These horses often carried a double load and it was one of my childish enjoyments to sit behind the saddle and take part in this alighting performance. There were monthly services in the old church, and nearly always a protracted meeting once a year which often continued for weeks with two services daily, a morning service for singing and sermons at early candlelight. How those voices rang, all singing one part one part without the aid of any sort of instrument. There was a Sunday school in the summer and one of the first superintendents was Abel Withrow who was also the county jailer. He was a fine singer, but there were no Sunday school songs or tunes in those days. “ There is a Happy Land Far Away” was one of the first to be learned. The memorizing was one of the tasks. It was a proud day when I stood before the school and repeated the first five chapters of Matthew, and later when the kind-hearted jailer made me the proud possessor of a box containing a large plant of purple blooming aster. My cup of happiness was full. <br /><br />After the morning church services in those days there was social time enjoyed during which those living near the meeting house extended friendly invitations to those who had driven farther, to come into the nearby homes and share the noon day meal, much of which had been prepared the day before. There were mince or fruit pies, molasses cookies and fried crullers, loaves of salt rising bread, weighing two or three pounds, always ready. Then perhaps there was baked chicken, turkey or ham. Sometimes this menu was exchanged for piping hot cornbread or biscuits and if butchering was just over there would be fresh sausage or ham with head cheese and pickled pig’s feet. All this topped with hot custard pies. The men sat around the fireplace and discussed church and neighborhood news. The children played on the porch or front yard until they were called to set the chairs to the table in the big kitchen where the women visitors had assisted the hostess in lifting the smoking bread, meats and mashed potatoes and boiling coffee ready for the meal. <br /><br />The preacher had joined one or other of these dinner parties, his ministerial air and voice were laid aside to take part in the jokes and hearty laughter in the home. During protracted meetings the conducting preachers spent their nights in the nearest home because they disliked long open air rides after preaching or a change of beds. For the noon day meal they went farther away and spent the afternoon calling upon people whom they wanted to talk religion with. The church building had its high boxed pulpit in the front end between the two front doors. Men entered the right hand door, women the left hand. On either side were a few seats paralleling the pulpit on which sat the older brethren or sisters, those who were afflicted with deafness or vociferous piety which they proclaimed in their loud singing or hearty amens. (Alas amen corners have them no more.) <br /><br />Midway in the side rows of seats there was a vacant space in which the immense heating stoves with their long pipes gave warmth to the room. Between the aisles was a double row of seats, against the dividing partition. Much of the neighborhood courting was done in the rear of that room. Side by side against this division sat the lover and his sweetheart. Another common sight was the father with his boys sitting on the one side and the mother with her girls on the other. Often the younger tots became restless and wanted to exchange the lap of the mother for the knee of the father, and the parents made the transfer during the singing of the hymn.<br />It was a trial to the self-conscious to walk up the front steps alone and down the long aisle encountering the gaze of the congregation, and sometimes there was waiting outside for a group to collect the boldest of which would go first. Un-curtained windows gave an abundance of daylight and often too much sunshine. Four beautiful white fluted columns supported the roof. The ceiling followed the sloping of the roof and left only about half of it flat in the center. On the white posts were hung candleholders, and also upon the casings of the rear windows, but candlelight was dim. Five of the preachers who stood in that pulpit lie in the old burying ground. Some of them were long and some short; the short ones increased their height by standing on a box so they could read from the open pulpit Bible and be better seen by the congregation. The old building was deserted for the new one , built by the membership miles further out on number “29” and after standing in the empty gloominess for years it was torn down and its timbers used to construct dwelling houses. <br /><br /><br />It was a long dusty hot walk for some of the children to attend summer school at Clemmons school house, or perhaps another summer school in the old log meeting house down the Madison road. A later summer term of school I attended was in the old Seminary in Greensburg. There was a readjustment of districts in the late fifties. A frame school house was perched on the right hand hill top beyond Sand creek. Call it the hill of science if you like. One of its teachers certainly was a personality. Disobedience was punished by staying in at recess, holding out at arm’s length a board, being called to the front seat, or standing with the face to the wall. More boys than girls received punishment. Sometimes the whole school received a high voiced reprimand during which the teacher strode back and forth behind his desk and shook his fists. The smaller students in front trembled in their seats, but the larger ones in the back desks shot back blazing glances. The holiday vacation was preceeded by a treat. One eccentric teacher distributed a stick of pink and white candy, two sugar kisses, and six raisins to each pupil. This district school had an ideal playground for winter sports; coasting down the hill on sleds, skating on the frozen ice of the creek, or vigorously snowballing were enjoyed by the both boys and girls. <br /><br />I have spoken of transportation on the road prior to the coming of the railroad. After a few trains had been established on that and a local stock yard started, buyers collected the cattle and hogs from the farms, drove them into it and loaded them upon freight trains which carried them to distant markets. One long familiar sight on “29” was the loaded wagons of cord wood which punctually passed between nine and ten a.m. with its supply of fuel for the town. Sometimes a dozen of these reams were in one train. Number “29” lost two dwellings by destructive fires; one a frame on the Madison road corner, the other the brick home at “Locust Grove”. There have also been tragedies. A school boy was shaken from the foot log by the ice flood and carried down the stream to his death while the horrified pupils stood helpless on the banks. One dark stormy night, two neighbors were returning from delivering stock in town and their frightened, blinded team plunged from the bridge on Cobb’s Fork to rocky bottom below with death to teams and men. Sometimes there were exciting runaways. Once a thirsty team of oxen left the road and plunged in deep water. There was also frequent excitement when men had lingered too long in the saloon of the town. A few of these on their homeward journey made night hideous with yells, singing and profanity. Once a party of these riding in a spring wagon, both men and women had this experience. One of the number sat on the back seat and swayed back and forth with the motion of the wagon. It struck a stone and and the jolt threw the reeling man under the wheels which passed over him. One woman screamed, “Oh! Jake, he fell out.” The others looked , echoed the words and finally stopped the team. Two of the soberer ones got out and went back to the prostrate “lump”. A woman who had seen the whole performance offered a two gallon bucket of water and cup to aid in his revival. They poured the water over his head . In a quarter of an hour, his first thick words were, “I’m cool enough now. I’m all right” and they lifted him and rolled him into the wagon. At present homes are close together. Four or five have filled the vacant places between and the solitary ones of those days. For many miles in the county not a living descendent of those ‘40’s and ‘50’s has a home.</span>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4344545425493494788.post-69805878712219936972014-09-09T21:19:00.000-04:002014-09-09T21:21:45.275-04:00<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">James Gavin was a prominent
Greensburg resident, successful lawyer, and Civil War colonel.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">James Gavin was born in Butler
County, Ohio in 1830. While he was still a young boy, his family moved to
Franklin County, Indiana. He found work as a clerk in a store in Brookville as
a teen-ager. He then began studying law with a lawyer in Brookville. James
Gavin was also a schoolteacher.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">In 1851 James Gavin married Martha
Tucker. Then in 1852 the Gavins moved to Greensburg where James Gavin began
practicing law. James Gavin was very successful as a lawyer. In 1860 James
Gavin and his law partner, Oscar Hord, compiled the Indiana laws in a book
called <i>The Statutes of the State of Indiana </i>or simply <i>Gavin and Hord’s
Statutes</i>.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">James Gavin was described this way as
a lawyer: “He was a fine lawyer, and whether engaged in the cause of the rich
or the poor, he gave it his whole mind and soul and strength.”</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">At the start of the Civil War, James
Gavin flew a flag at his law office on the Greensburg Square and began
recruiting volunteers. James Gavin was elected first lieutenant in the
three-month enlistment 7<sup>th</sup> Indiana Volunteer Infantry Regiment and
served as the regiment’s adjutant. The responsibilities of a regimental
adjutant included being in charge of correspondence and maintaining records of
the soldiers in the regiment.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">After serving for its three-month
enlistment in western Virginia and taking part in some of the earliest battles
of the Civil War, the 7<sup>th</sup> Indiana was reorganized as a three-year
regiment. James Gavin became the lieutenant colonel of the three-year 7<sup>th</sup>
Indiana. The colonel of the 7<sup>th</sup> Indiana, Ebenezer Dumont, was a
former United States Congressman. He was promoted to brigadier general. James
Gavin was promoted to colonel commanding the 7<sup>th</sup> Indiana in
November, 1861.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">While evidently at home in Greensburg
on a sick leave from the 7<sup>th</sup> Indiana, Colonel Gavin helped organize
and led the 76<sup>th</sup> Indiana Infantry Regiment in the summer of 1862.
This was a short-term enlistment regiment organized in response to a
Confederate raid into southern Indiana. The lieutenant colonel of this regiment
was John T. Wilder. He was also home in Greensburg on a sick leave from the 17<sup>th</sup>
Indiana Infantry Regiment, but would soon earn national fame as the commander
of “Wilder’s Lightning Brigade.”</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">Colonel James Gavin rose to command a
brigade. He was wounded at least twice in battle.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">The most serious wound occurred
during the battle of Second Bull Run on August 30, 1862. The 7<sup>th</sup>
Indiana was on the far right of the Union line. The union right retreated and
became disorganized. The 7<sup>th</sup> Indiana lost contact with the rest of
its brigade.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">After midnight the 7<sup>th</sup>
Indiana encountered another unit that in the darkness could not be identified. “Who
are you? Show your colors!” Colonel Gavin called out. But the flag the other
force carried could not be identified.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">Colonel Gavin ordered the color
bearer of the 7<sup>th</sup> Indiana to wave the National Colors. The other
force was a Confederate brigade and fired on the 7<sup>th</sup> Indiana.
Colonel James Gavin was shot in the chest. Colonel Gavin resigned from the 7<sup>th</sup>
Indiana while serving as the commander of a brigade in April, 1863 because of
this wound.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">But Colonel James Gavin was not
finished with serving his country during the Civil War. While still recovering
at home in Greensburg from the chest wound he volunteered to serve as the
commanding officer of the104<sup>th</sup> Indiana Infantry Regiment. This was
another short-term regiment organized in July, 1863 to pursue Morgan’s Raiders
across southern Indiana.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">Still later, Colonel James Gavin
served as the colonel of the 134<sup>th</sup> Indiana Infantry Regiment. This
was a regiment with a one hundred days enlistment organized to guard a railroad
supplying Sherman’s troops during the Atlanta Campaign in the summer of 1864.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">James Gavin was a Democrat. He ran
for the United States Congress in 1862 but lost. In 1863 he was elected as the
Decatur County Clerk. Then in 1865 James Gavin was nominated by President
Andrew Johnson to become an official in the Internal Revenue Service, but the
United States Senate did not confirm the nomination. James Gavin then returned
to the practice of law.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">James and Martha Gavin were the
parents of four children. Their first child died as an infant in 1853. Their
oldest surviving child, Frank Gavin (1854-1936) graduated from Harvard
University and became a lawyer and judge.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">Another son, William Gavin
(1856-1938) became a doctor.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">Their daughter, Addie Gavin McCoy
(1858-1928) married into the Decatur County pioneering McCoy family.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">James Gavin and his family owned the
John Wilder Home at 446 East Main Street Greensburg for several years.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">Colonel James Gavin died on July 4,
1873. According to his obituary, James Gavin was hospitalized in Cincinnati
with a fever. The noise of people celebrating Independence Day and setting off
fireworks made him think he was back on the battlefields of the Civil War. He
became excited and began shouting orders and had to be restrained. And then he
died with what today might be called a severe case of posttraumatic stress
disorder.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">James Gavin was Decatur County’s most
senior Civil War colonel. He was born poor and was a self-made man and
successful lawyer. If he had not been wounded at the battle of Second Bull Run
and forced to resign while serving as a brigade commander, then he probably
would have been promoted to higher rank long before the end of the Civil War.</span><br />

Ewing 1915In researching and writing about Oscar Ross Ewing I have come across so much material. This is an article by him while he was at Harvard in 1915. What a diverse and intelligent man he was. Remember he grew up in Greensburg around 1900 and lived on West North Street. He was a member of a large extended family and had a good share of personality, intelligence and ambition which led to a career as an attorney in New York and Washington D.C. He had an extensive political career which I am attempting to put in some semblance of order. More to come. Enjoy.<br />

I had to share it with you, it is not specific to Decatur County Indiana, but it is relative to the history of our country. Hope you enjoy. Click the link below.<br />

I am torn on how to present a few items that Oscar Ewing tackled in his time. I am finding that he was at the time and is still controversial in his thinking. Initiating Medicare for the elderly was not unlike The Affordable Care Act today. I have discovered several parallels. He was also controversial for advocating the fluoridation of municipal water. I hope you will bear with me as I try to put the 1940's and 1950's in some semblance of order and present to you in concise form. In the meantime, I will continue to try to keep you entertained with vintage pictures and articles.<br />
