Civil War Volunteers   |   Civil War Death Roll   |   The Jasper Grays  
Spanish-American War   |   Grand Army of the Republic

The people of Iowa have ever been justly proud of the state's military record made during the great Civil War, fought from 1861 to 1866. That her pioneers were made of the right material, in a patriotic sense, one is convinced by a glance at the lately published military volumes of Iowa, which valuable documents disclose the fact that out of about one hundred and fifty thousand men subject to military duty within her borders in 1861, fully eighty thousand men went to the seat of war in the Southland. Many never returned to home and friends, but were buried where they fell, by disease or bullet, their graves now being marked, if at all, by the sad, but significant word "unknown." Verily these died that our glorious Union might be preserved. By their life-blood the Nation was saved!

At first seventy-five thousand mien were called for by the following proclamation by President Lincoln, the document being dated Monday, April 15, 1861, and read as follows:

"Whereas, the laws of the United States have for some time past and are now, opposed, and the execution thereof obstructed, in the states of South Carolina, Alabama, Florida, Mississippi, Louisiana and Texas, by combinations too powerful to be suppressed by the ordinary course of judicial proceedings, or by the powers vested in the marshals; now therefore, I, Abraham Lincoln, President of the United States, by virtue of the power in me vested by the Constitution and the laws, have thought to call forth, and hereby do call forth, the militia of the several states of the Union, to the number of seventy-five thousand, in order to suppress said combinations, and to cause the laws to be duly executed.

"The details for this subject will be immediately communicated to the state authorities through the war department. I appeal to all loyal citizens to favor, facilitate and to aid this effort to maintain the honor, the integrity, and existence of our national union, and the perpetuity of popular government, and to redress wrongs already long endured. I deem it proper to say that the first services assigned to the forces hereby called forth will probably be to repossess the forts, places and property which have been seized from the Union; and in every event the utmost care will be observed. Consistently with the object aforesaid, to avoid any devastation, any destruction of, or interference with property, or any disturbance of peaceful citizens in any part of the country; and I hereby command the persons composing the combinations aforesaid, to disperse and retire peaceably to their respective abodes, within twenty days from this date.

"Deeming that the present condition of public affairs presents an extraordinary occasion, I do hereby, in virtue of the power in me vested by the Constitution, convene both houses of Congress. The senators and representatives are therefore summoned to assemble at their respective chambers at twelve o'clock noon, on Thursday, the fourth day of July next, then and there to consider and determine such measures as in their wisdom the public safety and interest may seem to demand.

"In witness whereof, I have hereunto set my hand and caused the seal of the United States to be affixed.

"Done at the city of Washington, the fifteenth day of April, in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and sixty-one, and of the independence of the United States the eighty-fifth.
"ABRAHAM LINCOLN.

"By the President,
"W. H. SEWARD, Secretary of State."

The last words of this proclamation had scarcely fallen from the wires before the call was filled. Men came from farm and shop, from the East and the West, from mountain and glen-men of all professions and all political shades of difference for the time being forgot all but the one thing of preserving the union of states and the rights of the people under the Constitution and the flag that had so long and proudly waved over a united people.

But seventy-five thousand men were not sufficient to crush out the rebellion. Call after call was made and filled by the best volunteers the world has ever seen draw a sword or take aim with a musket. The inscription written in 1859 by Hon. Enoch Eastman, of Eldora, for the block of stone designed for the Washington Monument, at the national capital, read, "Iowa - her affections, like the rivers of her borders, flow to an inseparable Union." When the great civil conflict came on, these words seemed almost prophetic in their character, when one reflects upon the unison of action in most every part of the commonwealth with which troops were mustered into service that the union of states might be preserved.

Upon the receipt of the news that the assassination of the newly elected President had been attempted while enroute to Washington to take his seat, a military company, was hastily organized at the old courthouse at Newton, with thirty-five members. The officers chosen were: J. A. Garrett, captain; J. W. Wilson, first lieutenant; J. S. Hunter, second lieutenant; J. L. Matthews, Henry Kissell, Samuel Failor, Jesse Kennedy, Jr., sergeants; D. McCord, Jr., Samuel Osborne, M. Ramsay, J. M. Rogers, corporals. Captain Garrett had seen service in the Mexican War.

Application was immediately made to the governor of Iowa for arms, but the answer returned was that the quota was exhausted, and that there was little prospect of more being obtained for some time to come. On this account, the filling up of the company's ranks proceeded slowly for several weeks, when the organization was abandoned.

VOLUNTEERING

April 22, 1861, in response to the President calling for troops, a rousing meeting was held at the courthouse in Newton, and the nucleus of a company for actual service was formed. The Free Press says that intense excitement pervaded the meeting, "and when the national flag was brought into the densely crowded room, to the stirring music of glorious 'Yankee Doodle,' such excited enthusiasm was there as only comes when slumbering patriotism is kindled from off God's altar." W. H. Silsby presided. Stirring and patriotic speeches were made by Dr. Robinson, of Grinnell, H. J. Skiff, S. G. Smith, H. S. Winslow, Judge Kellogg, Rev. C. Shaffer, Rev. John Steel and Captain Chapman. The following citizens then signed the roll: S. H. Chapman, J. G. Jones, J. R. Rodgers, Thomas R. Keisler, John Shellady, D. W. Lester, Robert Bain, W. E. Huling, John S. Cottle, Allen Alloway, Thomas Poor, Martin Ramsey, Simeon Kennedy, J. W. Preston, William Robinson, J. C. Dixon, William Hunter, D. W. Critzer, J. S. Adamson, S. R. Bicknell, B. Aydellotte, John Cockley, William Foutts, Francis Job, James P. Banks.

Another meeting was held on the 26th of the same month, at which time the roll of the company was nearly completed. May 2nd the list was published, and its composition may be seen in this chapter elsewhere.

In Monroe a great mass meeting was held on April 24, 1861, presided over by R. Elwood; S. A. Holt, secretary. Ten men volunteered. On the 29th, at an adjourned meeting, thirteen more enrolled their names and the meeting pledged itself to furnish as many more if necessary and certainly they kept their word.

In Poweshiek a meeting was held on April 26, 1861, presided over by patriotic men. Another was held three days later. Eleven men joined Captain Chapman's company, and the meeting passed the following resolutions:

"1. That immediate steps be taken to thoroughly organize Poweshiek into a military organization.

"2. That there be a committee of twelve appointed to act as regulators, for various purposes, not necessary to mention.

"3. That all persons not willing to vindicate and defend the Union and the Constitution, shall be brought before the committee and be dealt with as traitors.

"4. That our meetings open and close by invoking the divine aid and blessing upon our patriotic and glorious undertaking."

JASPER COUNTY FULLY AROUSED

It was in the minds of the people in this and other southern Iowa counties that an invasion would soon take place by the guerrillas from Missouri.

Mrs. T. G. Springer, then of Malaka Township, wrote a beautiful poem on the going out of these, Jasper County's first soldiers. One stanza should never be lost among the rare gems of poetry written by an obscure lady at the beginning of the Civil War. It runs thus:

"But would we call them back to us? No! by those Stripes and Stars,
That floated o'er our fathers through their long and bloody wars.
We will cheer them on to battle where their glorious banner waves,
And they'll proudly die beneath it, rather than live as slaves;
And they will be victorious - the strength of courage born
Will bear aloft their gallant flag, though bloodstained and torn;
And the proud defiant chieftain, from the land of bloom and song,
Will learn in blood this lesson - 'the peaceful are the strong.' "

The original "Jasper Grays" could not be recognized by Governor Samuel J. Kirkwood, until in July 1861, when they finally received marching orders. They attended the Congregational Church in a body in the morning, Rev. B. E. Jones preaching the sermon. At evening they attended the Methodist Episcopal Church and listened to Rev. A. H. Shafer. The next evening, while assembled at a sociable at the Congregational Church, a majority of the men took a pledge list, which included these items: "We, the undersigned United States volunteers, remembering the teachings of our fathers and mothers and the sentiments of the community from whence we go, will abstain entirely from the use of ardent spirits, except for medicinal purposes; to not use profane language and improper language; to keep holy the Sabbath day; to read the Scriptures and have prayer in our midst, and hope to be brave in the hour of conflict, kind and compassionate in the hour of victory, especially to women and children."

On Tuesday, the same week, the soldiers were presented with a flag, the presentation being made by Co1. Thomas Miller, on behalf of the "Newton Hawkeyes." Then came the parting time - that saddest of all times on earth, when loved ones and dear friends part with but a faint hope of again meeting. Many of the citizens accompanied the troops on their way, as far as they thought best. The route taken was via Monroe, Pella, Oskaloosa and Edenville to Burlington, the place of rendezvous. A kettledrum was carried by the boys, loaned them by Mr. Bain, The same had been carried by a Continental drummer in the Revolutionary War.

Recruiting for two more companies at once commenced ere the sound of the first company had been lost to the ears of the patriots at home. One was raised at Monroe and another at Newton. A company was also raised in August 1861, commanded by gallant Captain Garrett.

OFFICIAL ACTION IN JASPER COUNTY

The reader may be interested to know something concerning the official action of the board of county supervisors, the people's representatives, during that never-to-be-forgotten struggle, The records show that at a special meeting held early in July 1861, the following resolution was adopted by the board:

"Resolved, That each member of the board of supervisors be authorized to look after the families of the soldiers that have gone or may go to war from their respective townships, and furnish them with such necessaries of life as they may need. And the orders of said supervisors, respectively, on the county treasurer to pay for said necessaries shall be drawn by the clerk of the board of supervisors, upon presentation, accompanied with the name of the person's family to be relieved thereby, and duly signed by said member of the board of supervisors, each member to report his doings to the board."

This was the only action necessary, and for the next seven years, until the claims and demands of soldiers' families had come to an end, there was never a hint by any member of the board that too much was being expended to care for the "war widows" and the families of soldiers in the field. When money was needed, it was dealt out in a business-like manner by the people, through the board. Each member of the board (one from each township in the county then) had charge of the needs of his own township and was never questioned by the other members, for they, too, were all looking after the needs of their own soldiers' families

On June 3, 1863, the board passed the following resolution:
"That Drs. Thornell and Hunter be and are hereby, appointed a committee to visit the sick and wounded soldiers of Jasper County, Iowa, and that the sum of three hundred dollars is hereby appropriated for the purpose of furnishing such supplies for them as, in their judgment, may be necessary and proper; and that they be required to report at the next session of this board, of their doings, together with the amounts expended.'"

PRESENTATION OF THE "HAVELOCKS"

The following bit of reminiscence was brought out by the pen and from the good memory of Civil War days, by J. H. Fugard, of Newton, at the dedication of the new (1911) courthouse:

"Our people had some queer ideas about the dangers of a soldier's life, and some impracticable schemes were proposed for their relief. One source of dread was the fear that our boys would not be able to endure the intense heat that was supposed to exist in the Southern states. Some one had read how General Havelock, the Christian soldier, had furnished a novel sort of a head covering for his Highlanders to protect them from the sun, in their famous march across the sands of India to the relief of Lucknow. Acting on the suggestion, the Newton Ladies' Aid Society devised and made a lot of them. They were called 'Havelocks,' and were made of some kind of light material, and looked quite different from anything ever seen here before, being a sort of a cross between a helmet of the middle ages and a night cap of our grandmother's days. And when Captain Garrett's company were about to leave, they were drawn up in front of the north porch, and in a short speech by one of the ministers were formally presented with them.

"The gift was made from noble motives. But the presentation proceedings were badly marred by the loud laughter of the small boys at the ludicrous appearance of the troops. But the latter paid no heed to the taunts and, out of respect to the donors, they wore their sunbonnets like heroes until they got out of town. They afterwards used them for dishcloths."

For a complete list of all soldiers who went from Fairview Township the reader is referred to the history of that township for a certified sworn-to copy of same, made in 1865 for military purposes.

VOLUNTEER ROSTER OF THE COUNTY

The following roster of soldiers who went from Jasper County has been carefully compiled from the adjutant-general's reports which were issued by authority of the state between the years 1862 and 1866, and are considered correct, except in a few changes, where some disability, such as desertion, has been removed by more recent acts of Congress and rulings of the war department. It is the aim to give the name of all volunteers, and note also those killed. The list is given alphabetically, by companies and regiments.
