The Carrothers' son, Wm. L., writes this: "My parents left Alleghany on February 16, 1860, for Iowa, by boat on the Ohio and Mississippi rivers to Dubuque. On October 21, 1864, father left for Nashville and joined the Union army and was a member of General Sherman's campaign through Georgia. Father kept a diary while in service, but being so old it is scarcely readable. On the last page I deciphered that he arrived in Dubuque on his way home on July 5, 1865, walked 15 miles, was picked up by a wagon near Epworth, rode to Dyersville, arriving about one, and slept in the wagon till morning. Thus ended the record ... The Christopher Carrothers home was on a hill called the Wigwam, so named because long ago Indians camped there from time to time. The Wigwam in early days was about an acre of wild cherry, poplar, and plum trees, and much hazel brush. The first Carrothers house was of logs, of course, and stood south from the site of the frame dwelling built later and still occupied as it was originally. When the time came, Christy built the large frame house at almost the crest of the hill, and this was long the family home. North of the house was a large orchard. The farm land sloped away from the buildings on all sides. A windmill topped the rise of ground to the east in the 600 acres, a mill that is still in important use. This farm was one of Delaware County's most imposing farm properties ..."
