During the siege of Corinth, the 1st demi-brigade, 2nd division, Army of the Mississippi, marched to Farmington on the 8th. Four companies, under Maj. J. W. Jefferson, were left there as an advance guard, while the remainder of the brigade bivouacked in front of a creek in the rear of the town. Early the next morning the enemy began firing on Jefferson's command, which held its position until about 9 o'clock, when it was forced to retire. Gen. Palmer's brigade, in the meantime, had come up and taken the front, leaving the 1st brigade, under command of Col. J. M. Loomis, to act as a reserve. After several hours of fighting, the Federals were obliged to retire across the creek, leaving the Confederates in possession of Farmington and the Union camping ground of the night before. The bridge across the creek was burned by the enemy. The Confederate loss was 9 killed and wounded, while the Federal forces lost more heavily, the casualties being 16 killed, 148 wounded and 14 captured or missing. ---------------------------- American Civil War Soldiers Record Name: Andrew Eutzler , Residence: Wyoming, Illinois Enlistment Date: 17 September 1861 Distinguished Service: DISTINGUISHED SERVICE Side Served: Union State Served: Illinois Unit Numbers: 370 370 Service Record: Enlisted as a Private on 17 September 1861 Enlisted in Company K, 47th Infantry Regiment Illinois on 01 October 1861.

KS. from Stark Co. Il. in 1866. They lived on a farm 1 1/2 miles east and south of Tescott on the south side of the Saline River. They also lived for a time in Ellsworth Co. on a farm near Elkhorn Creek and Eliza Eutsler went to Fort Harker at Kanapolis to help cook for the soldiers that were stationed there. Four children were born after they came to Kansas. Andy Eutsler, died in 1882. Later the Eutslers sold the farm near Tescott to T.E. Scott, and moved to town. Some time after that their grandson Ray Eutsler, bought the farm from the Scotts and lived there until his death in 1937. History written by : Adeline Eutsler Disney, granddaughter. ----------------------------- In Sep 1868, Andy was one of Fifty volunteers involved in the Battle at Beecher's Island. He received injuries in this battle that troubled him for the rest of his life, and in 1882 he died from complications of these injuries. ----------------------------- On Sept. 17, 1868, several hundred painted Indians confident of an easy victory swooped down on Major George A. Forsyth and his little command of fifty civilian scouts. The command took refuge on a little island in the Arickaree river, this is a branch of the Republican river in North Eastern Colorado. During the early hours of the battle five were killed and sixteen were wounded. By digging holes and using their dead horses as barricades and eating the putrid flesh of their horses and mules they survived until relief came on the ninth day. The indian losses are unknown but Roman Nose, the invulnerable Cheyenne, was killed and the eastern press used the story of the battle to affect policy against the Indians. ----------------------------- 20 Jun 1870 > Trippvile, Ottawa, Kansas; p. 364, # 53, # 54 Eutsler, A.J 37 self m w OH Farmer $1000 $800 Eutsler, E.A. 37 wife f w OH Housekeeping Eutsler, James R. 14 son m w IN School Eutsler, Sarah Elizabeth 13 dau f w IN School (No W) Eutsler, Lelia L. 11 dau f w IL School Eutsler, Charles A. 9 son m w IL School (No W) Eutsler, Andrew J. 7 son m w IL School Eutsler, Emazetta 5 dau f w IL Eutsler, George W. 3 son m w KS Eutsler, Ida May 1 dau f w KS ------------------------------ 01 Mar 1875 > Fort Harker P.O., Empire, Ellsworth, Kansas; Pg 6, # 64, # 66 Eutsler, A.

Members of this Eutsler family were not immune to the tragedy of this outbreak. Two of Eliza and Andy's children died from the disease around Christmas of that year : George died 16 Dec 1876, age 9; and 2 weeks later on 30 Dec 1876, Lelia also died, age 16. ------------------------- CENSUS 1880 : KS - Ottawa Co., Culver; p. 426C Eutsler, Andy J. 47 self m w OH VA SC Farmer Eutsler, Eliza A. 47 wife f w OH OH OH Housekeeping Eutsler, James K. 24 son m w IN OH OH Farmer Eutsler, Sarah E. 22 dau f w IN OH OH Eutsler, Charles A. 19 son m w IL OH OH Farmer Eutsler, Andy J. 17 son m w IL OH OH Farmer Eutsler, Emma Z. 15 dau f w IL OH OH Eutsler, Ida May 11 dau f w KS OH OH Eutsler, Ulysses G. 9 son m w KS OH OH Eutsler, William 5 son m w KS OH OH HUSTED, Grace 21 Othr f m OH NY NY ------------------------- CENSUS 1880 : KS - Ellsworth Co., Empire; p. 468a Eutzler, Charles 19 self m w IL Herder Eutzler, Jack 17 other m w IL Herder Dana, W.A 21 other m w IL Herder Children of Andy & Eliza Eutsler : 01) James Riley "Ryle" Eutsler 02) Sarah Elizabeth "Libby" Eutsler 03) Lelia Letitia Eutsler 04) Charles Augusta "Charley" Eutsler 05) Andrew Jackson "Jack" Eutsler Jr 06) Margaret Zetta (Eutsler) Blanchard 07) George Washington Eutsler 08) Ida May Eutsler 09) Ulysses Grant "Yul" Eutsler 10) William Edward "Will" Eutsler< /a> All Buried in same plot Andrew Jackson "Andy" Sr & his (widow)Elizabeth Ann "Eliza" (Remy) Eutsler - Best; and Eliza's 2nd husband step-grandfather John Best; also buried in plot is Hugh Eutsler, son of Andrew & Eliza's son Yul & wife Gertude (Stewart) Eutsler, Hugh was aged 2 yrs. ------------------------------------------- NOTE : It was long believed that Charles was the father of Andrew Jackson Eutsler, for 2 reasons : 1) at the time of the 1850 census A.J Utzler was 17 yrs and found on a farm in the same county as Charles. A.J. was living with Philip and Elizabeth Wadren. And 2) the name Charles has been carried down through the generations. But ... Charles was married twice (to sisters) Clarissa and Sarah Elizabeth Hawk. But, the Elizabeth that A.J. was living with was in reality his mother. Elizabeth was born in NC in 1800 and was married in 1819, became a widow before the 1830 census, where she was listed with 2 young sons. In 1832 Elizabeth Turner (her maiden name) married to Henry Eutsler and they had 2 sons including A.J., Henry and Elizabeth are listed in the 1840 Census, but he must have died soon after the census because she remarried again to Philip Waldren. A.J. married in 1851 and moved to Indiana and then on to Illinois. Elizabeth is listed as living with him and his family in the 1860 census. She also accompanied the family on their move to Kansas where she died in 1866.
