They were the parents of 9 children: Orin Hamilton, Julia (1854-1929 Il, Bogart), Elma, Perry Victor, Fredrick Abraham, Elizabeth, Charles, James Henry, and William Ellsworth. July 29, 1909 - Carroll Times - Tuesday noon R.T. Kingman, who has been in precarious health for some time, died at his home in the third ward of the ailments that afflicted him for some time and were aggravated and caused him untold suffering as he advanced in years. Reuben T. Kingman was born in Smyrna, Chenango county, New York, May 5, 1823. He was therefore 86 years, two months, and twenty-two days old at his death. From the old home in New York state departed and his parents removed to Plattville, Kendall county, Illinois, and there he was married May 7, 1843 to Miss Eleanor Rickertson who survives him at the advanced age of 84 years. To them were born nine children the survivors of whom residing now as follows: Oren Kingman, Beattie, Kans.; Julia D. Bogart, Mazon, Illinois; Elma (Mrs. Wm. Allen) Carroll, Iowa; Perry Kingman, Morris, Illinois; Fred Kingman, San Perrie, Ind.; Elizabeth Coleman, Atwood, Kans.; Will Kingman, Blencoe, Iowa. Two sons are dead, Charles Kingman dying at Avoca, Iowa, March 11, 1909 and James, so well remembered here, May 13, 1900. Wm. Kingman, who was a veteran of the Civil War came of an old fighting family. His grandfathers were both wounded in the battle of Bunker Hill; his father and two uncles were soldiers in the War of 1812 against England, while departed, a son and two sons-in-law, fought in the Civil war, the last three all wounded and drawing pensions. Mr. Kingman enlisted in Co. B., 127th Illinois Vol., at Chicago, Aug. 13, 1862. His regiment raced to join the Board of Trade regiment and get a share of the big bounty offered, but was two hours late. That fall their regiment was sent to Memphis and was with Sherman in the first attack on Vicksburg. At Holly Springs while guarding some prisoners, he fell into an old well, injuring his left hip so as to leave him lame for the rest of his life. It was a this point that their division was captured and held for several hours by Van Dorn. In the same action a bullet carried away his cap and knocked him down. He remained with Shurman until after Vicksburg fell, and then was sent north to the hospital at Keokuk, Iowa. He rejoined Sherman at Goldsboro in 1863. In spite of his partial disability he insisted in serving his enlistment and took part in the Grand Review at the close of the war, being then mustered out at Chicago. Mr. and Mrs. Kingman removed to this city twenty-six years ago, and up to ten years ago he followed his trade, that of a carpenter. His declining days, were spent pleasantly with his children and aged wife. He was universally liked and respected specially being held in high esteem his comrades of J.C. Davis Post, No. 44, G.A.R. of this city. As a citizen he was upright and consciencious, a clean moral man, a good example to all who knew him. He was not a member of any church, but was a Christian in his daily conduct and in all dealings with his fellow men. The funeral is being conducted this afternoon at 2:30 o'clock, by Rev. J.W. Taylor of the M.E. Church, the exercises being in charge of the G.A.R. Another aged hero has lain down "in the robings of glory." One by one we see them finish life's battle then to behold them no more until all shall assemble in the last review before Him Who holds the destinies of nations in His hand. He who now has been bedded under the folds if the flag he helped to make truly the emblem of liberty, answered the call of duty while the hearts of wife and children were compressed with the awful unspoken fear. He served his country well, he returned bearng on his body the marks of the sanguinary conflict. He bore through life the disabilities that proved his loyalty and devotion. He reengaged in the avocation of peace and reared his children to honored men and women to continue his grand old name and family. His truly was a life well spent, a memory to be cherished by generations to succeed him. Life's evening found him calm, composed, peaceful in the consciousness of having lived as God had given him the light to the see the right. And now he sleeps, serene in the eternal silence that shall not be broken by roll of drum nor bugle call.
