Re-enlisted and re-mustered Jan. 1, 1864. Wounded Oct. 25,1864, Osage, Mo. Discharged June 16, 1865. BIOGRAPHY Source: BIOGRAPHICAL REVIEW OF LEE COUNTY, IOWA 1905 Joseph P. Poole one of the older native born citizens of Lee county, where he was born in Harrison township, October 16, 1840, enjoys the distinction of having served as a Union soldier throughout the Civil War, from the time of his enlistment in August 1861, as a member of company B, Third Iowa Cavalry, until discharged in Georgia in 1865. He was mustered out at Jeffersonville, Indiana and returned home war-worn and weary, but glad that he had been able to render effective service in behalf of the country he loved so well. As the years go by the value of that service becomes more apparent. As his country takes its place among the mightiest nations of the earth and exerts its influence for peace and order, justice and humanity, we shudder at the picture of what might have been, if the men of 1861 had not risen in their strength and asserted that the government of liberty should be preserved at all hazards. Mournful disasters of vast magnitude would have followed in the train of a divided Union and the progress of the world halted for hundreds of years. But thanks to the men of 1861 the world has written a history of advance, sometimes not compassed in centuries, since the day the rebel flag sunk in dust at Appomattox. The old veteran may be ragged and soiled, may be in the mire himself, but since it is a fact that he wore the Union blue, there is upon him a fadeless glory of what he dared and did in the days of trial and testing, when he fought and bled for God and humanity. And the world loves and honors and reveres them, rich or poor, wise or ignorant, for the cause they upheld and the flag they followed. Mr. Poole, whose name belongs to this honored company, did his duty on the field of action, and lives to see the wonder of the victory he helped to win as its remote effects sweep out into the whirlpool of the nations and make the whole world better and freer. Mr. Poole remained at home with his parents until he was almost twenty-one, and went from the farm to the battleground. After the war he came back to the parental roof, where he lived until the winter of 1866-67, when he was married. For about a year he lived on rented land near Big Mound, Lee, county. After the expiration of this period he spent some years in the far West engaged in farming, The West did not please him as a home, and finally came back to what he calls the “garden of the world”. Lee county, and here he has maintained his home to the present time. For some years he was engaged in farming, and later he bought a home in the village of Primrose, in which he has made his residence to the present time. In politics he is a Republican, and in local affairs seeks the best men for the positions to be filled, but in general matters he “votes as he shot”. The marriage of Mr. Poole occurred in Primrose, Lee county, Iowa, in 1867, when Miss. Rachel Holland became his wife. She was born in Ohio, and came into Iowa with her parents at an early date. They located in Lee county, and here her father, who was a tailor, followed his trade, but gave much attention to farming, having come into possession of a neat and attractive farm in Harrison township. To Mr. and Mrs. Poole were born a family of eight children: R. May, at home; Edward, who died at Pilot Grove, Lee county, when one year of age; Myrtie J., the wife of Edward Glendenning: Benton F., a resident of Mount Pleasant; George O., is resident of Tennessee; Charles E., now of Muscatine, Iowa; Claire, the wife of Albert J. Pool, a railroad man, of Ottumwa, Iowa; Edna O., at home and still a student in the local schools. Mr. and Mrs. Poole have a pleasant and well-appointed home, to which their friends are always welcome, and their genial hospitable spirit counts all who come their way as friends. They are good people and highly esteemed in the community in which their quiet and useful lives are passing.
