He passed away at his home in Geneva, Neb., February 16, 1929, aged 88 years and 2 months. He and a twin brother were the eldest of a family of thirteen. He passed through the hardships, as well as the joys of the pioneer, having come to Nebraska in 1872. He served as corporal in Company K, 99th Indiana Infantry and the twentieth Company Second Battalion Veteran Reserve Corps. He enlisted at Logansport, In., August 12, 1862 and was honorably discharged November 14, 1865. He was color guard of his regiment. He was wounded July 28, 1864, at Atlanta, Ga., having the colors shot from his hands, the staff being cut in two and the bullet entering his right hand. He is survived by two brothers, J. Charles and William R. of Logansport, Ind.; a sister, Mrs. Nettie E. Bailey of Minneapolis, Minn., and one daughter, Clara B. of Geneva. Born and reared by good Christian parents, he has always been a true, loyal and faithful Christian, a life-long member of the Methodist Church. Not thinking or doing evil himself, he never spoke ill of others, but always the kindly word for everyone, patient and cheerful. A good man has passed. The funeral service was conducted at his late home by Rev. H. C. Capsey at 2 p.m. Monday, February 18. Interment was in the Geneva Cemetery. The pallbearers were sons of veterans.
