Madison County War Record

Davies' [1866] History - During the late war, Madison county responded nobly to the call for volunteers. According to the Adjutant-General's report, Madison county was represented in eighteen different regimental organization, furnished seven hundred and ten men, which was largely in excess of the quota required of her.

The number of commissioned officers is forty-two as follows:
...
Leander Pitzer, first lieutenant, Co. F, 4th Iowa Infantry
...

Of the above named officers, J.D. Ewing, Leander Pitzer, O.C. Ayers and J.P. Jones, were killed in battle, or died of wounds received while in battle. They were all brave an noble men, and their names are honored and revered by all who knew them.
