After he was mustered out at Albany, he went home and subsequently became a sailor on Lake Champlain and the St. Lawrence river. He followed that kind of a life for ten years. In 1877 he immigrated to Nebra-ska, located on a homestead in Franklin county, and slept every night on the place until he came here. He is married to that old homestead, and expects to leave his bones there. Of course he votes the Republican ticket, and believes politics not necessarily a bar to honesty."

In 1865, Owen buried his brother Michael Bannon in Old Calvary Cemetery in Queens, N.Y. Gravestone is worn but reads, 'In Memory of my Brother Michael, Native of Ca--m-rode, Cork.' Owen was born about 1837 in Ireland and died in 1882 in Manhattan, N.Y. His N.Y.C. death record is hard to read, but his parents' names look like John Bannon and Bridget.

The Troy Daily Times, May 29, 1883: Headstone delivered to cemetery.

Joseph's burial has yet been found in St. Joseph's Cemetery records, but the search continues.

The regimental roster implies a year of birth of ca. 1844, whereas the Albany Daily Evening Times implies a year of birth of ca. 1841. His descendant, Jim Brunelle, reports that Joseph's date of birth was May 20, 1843.

The 1870 U.S. Census gives Joseph's place of birth as Canada, and his name at birth was Joseph LeFebvre, according to his descendants.

The Albany Daily Evening Times, December 30, 1874: "Troy. Buried Alive. Joseph Bean, a Frenchman, aged 33, was buried alive under a sand bank yesterday. He was warned against going to work in the locality, but was so anxious to do something to support his family, that he persisted in doing so. He was a puddler by profession, and one of the victims of the strike. He leaves a wife and four children."

The Albany Evening Journal, December 30, 1874: "In Brief. Yesterday morning, Joseph Bean was at work at Thomas Ahearn's sand bank in South Troy, when a large quantity of dirt caved in upon him, and killed him instantly. The deceased leaves a wife and four small children in destitute circumstances."

The Albany Morning Express, December 30, 1874: "A Man Buried Alive in a Sandbank. Joseph Bean, a Frenchman, residing in the rear of Fourth street, near Madison street, Troy, went to work yesterday morning in Thomas Ahearn's sandbank, for the purpose of obtaining earth to fill up a lot for M. J. Duffy, the wood dealer. The men who had been

working with him declined to continue yesterday morning, and advised Bean to keep away from the bank, as it was dangerous. About half-past nine o'clock a large mass of sand, weighing over four tons, caved in, and completely buried Bean. After much labor the body was found, about four feet below the surface. Life was extinct, and the corpse was horribly mutilated, the face and skull being crushed to a shapeless mass."

The Rome Sentinel, January 5, 1875: "Joseph Bean, a Frenchman, was killed in Troy, Monday, by a mass of earth falling on him while working in a sand bank."

The Troy Daily Times, May 29, 1883: "Headstones for the graves of deceased soldiers have been delivered at the different cemeteries in the city. They will be erected by Patrick Gaynor, senior vice commander of Post Willard, G. A. R., as soon as the friends of the soldiers notify him of the exact position of the graves. The following is a list of the cemeteries at which stones have been left and the names upon the stones: St. Joseph's – James Fitzpatrick, first United States infantry; Corporal Jaques Gueran, fourth New York infantry; Joseph Bean, one hundred and sixty-ninth New York infantry; J. B. Short, one hundred and twenty-fifth New York infantry; William Gilligan, one hundred and forty-third New York infantry. [SNIP]

Post made by Joan Corbett Rainville at RootsWeb on November 1, 2015: "I've recently begun to search for the location of the grave of my husband Robert's great-great-grandfather, Joseph Bean, aka Lefebvre, at St. Joseph's Cemetery in Troy, but St. Joseph's Catholic Church could not find the name of Joseph Bean (or Lefebvre) in cemetery records. Joseph died in an excavation accident in Troy on the 29th of December, 1874. He worked at the Burden Iron Works but was on layoff because of a strike and was trying to earn some money to support his wife and three children. Joseph survived the Civil War without having been wounded, only to be buried alive nine years later."

Message from Joan Corbett Rainville, November 13, 2015: "My husband's great-grandmother, Rose Bean, aka Lefebvre, was Joseph and Marcelline's first child. Marcelline was born in Aug. 1851 in New York, and her maiden name is recorded as "Amyotte Lamothe" in transcribed church records, with variations in the spellings. (Rose's marriage certificate to her first husband, Albert Howe, lists her parents as J. Bean and M. Lemon.) Following the death of Joseph, Marcelline married Mitchell Laroche, aka Stone, who was born in Jun 1821 at PQ Canada, immi-grating to the U.S. in 1875. They had additional children together prior to their actual wedding date of 22 Mar. 1891 at St. Jean's Catholic Church in Troy. They are listed with some of their children in the 1880 U.S. Census for Troy, and their children were baptized at St. Jean's and St. Joseph's. Mitchell died at Cohoes on 17 Nov. 1912 and Marcelline died at Cohoes on 1 Jul 1920."

Brunelle-Pelletier Ancestors, June 17, 2015: "Here is a grouping of Troy New York stories and letters from soldiers and correspondents with the 169th N.Y. Infantry. Our ancestor, Joseph Bean LeFebvre, fought with them from 1862-'65."

Message from Jim Brunelle, November 10, 2015: "Joseph was my great-great-grandfather. He was born on May 20, 1843, to Joseph and Camille (Poulin) LeFebvre in Canada. He lived in Troy, N.Y., according to the 1860 U.S. Census, working at the Nail Factory… He lived in Nashua, N.H., from 1865 to 1920. His wife, Delima, died in the spring of 1921 and Joseph died on December 25, 1921. His daughter, Zepherine, was my great-grandmother."

2d message from Jim Brunelle, November 10, 2015: "I have Joseph's death certi-ficate and he is buried at St. Patrick's Cemetery in Hudson, N.H. The reason I connected my Joseph Bean with the one in the 169th is because of a story my father told me years ago. Unfortunately, my father has passed. He told me his great-grandfather worked in a nail factory in N.Y. and came here to N.H. because Joseph and his 'brother' (he wasn't sure on this part) were in trouble with the law and were evading arrest. My father would always joke with us kids 'to stay out of Troy, N.Y., my family is wanted there.'"

Response from Steven Wiezbicki, November 11, 2015: "My guess is that the 'brother' may have assumed Joseph's identity when he died and moved to New Hampshire to evade the law."

The letters were written by 1st Lt. Robert Alexander Bell of the Town of Kingsbury in Washington County during 1862-64 while the lieutenant was serving with Company D, 169th Regiment of the New York State Volunteers. The letters blend first-hand descriptions of historic battles with poignant revelations of a soldier's homesickness and anxiety for his family. The letters were discovered by book dealer Stephen Saskiewich in a box of old books neatly folded inside a single unmarked envelope. But he didn't know for some time that he had them and still doesn't know where he got them. Saskie-wicz explains he's an auction addict and has a habit of stowing away his purchases until he has time to sort them, and now he can't remember where he bid on the box containing the letters."

The Benjamin Family in America:

"2154. JULIO BUELL BENJAMIN7 (Duthan6, Elnathan5, Samuel4, John3, Caleb2, John1) born April 22, 1838, in Washington Co., New York, the son of Duthan and Delinda (Allen) Benjamin; died October 4, 1919, in Whitehall, New York, and buried in the Boardman Cemetery in Whitehall. He married in 1860 Alice Sophia Grant, dau. of Andrew Grant. She was born March 4, 1841, and died January 12, 1929, in Lake Village, Arkansas.

"Julio fought in the Civil War and was a 2nd Lt. in Co. H., 169th Inf. Regt. He joined Sept. 14, 1862, and was discharged because of illness at Folly Island, S.C., on Nov. 10, 1863. Supposedly, he was a friend of Abraham Lincoln's and used to go hunting with him. Mr. Lincoln gave Julio his powder horn with his initials on it. This horn was given by the family to Fred A. Young, a New York State Senator from the 35th District in 1939.

Julio was a boatman, laborer in a factory, and in 1905 to 1915 a pilot on Lake Champlain.

To visit the cemetery between the hours of 8 AM and 4:30 PM, M-F, go to the Nevada Habili-tation Office located at 2323 North Ash Street, Nevada, Mo., where you can view a plat map of the cemetery and check out a gate key. There is no patient information at the Habilitation Office beyond the plat map. As with most flat markers over the years, many have sunk down a few inches and some probing may be required to find them.

McConihe is making every effort, with some prospect of success, to induce Gen. Butler to earnestly ask for information touching the disposition by the rebels of the body of the deeply lamented Lieut. Birdsall. The campaign is so active and bloody that but little attention can be paid to these distressing features of the casualties on either side, and therefore we may not hope to recover the body of the fallen young hero, but we have a right to expect that the enemy will tell us what became of the remains."

Pension File Index Card

Aaron Bremer was an alias for William Magoon, according to the pension file index card. He died at Pierce County, Wash.

Message from the author of the inform-ation at the RootsWeb link: "If you have looked at the Find A Grave memorial for William Magoon's wife Sadie A. (Thomas) Magoon, you may understand why the location of his grave is in question. It may be that he was buried on his farm, yet his widow is buried in Longbranch cemetery. There have been other cases where the veteran had a temporary burial, but his remains were moved to the cemetery of his wife's choosing when she died. In Magoon's case, there appears to be no known headstone and, as yet, no real evidence of what may have happened. It may take some local sleuthing to clarify the issue. In case you are not aware of the Washing-ton SUVCW group, I am copying this to Lee Corbin; he is the graves registrar for the group and has immense dedication to finding these old gents. – Ms. Denise R. Ottoson."

Find A Grave memorial #68580371 is for Sadie Magoon, which lists William's name as "W. P. Magoon."

The Papers of Alfred C. Carmon, letter dated April 25, 1863: "The shells would cut the trees right down over our heads. The most of them went over us. Once in a while one would burst ahead of us. The colonel got wounded in the hand with a piece of a shell. There was one of the boys from our company got killed with a shell. The top of his head was all blown off. He was killed instantly. Two of the boys took a hold of him to carry him out of the woods, but the shells flew so fast that they had to leave him. His name was Edwin Brock. He lived in Petersburg. He was as nice a boy as there was in the company."

The Troy Daily Times, May 1, 1863: "Private E. H. Brock, of Co. H, gave up his life on the altar of his country, and though dead to us, he now enjoys peaceful rest in the army of the Lord. Brave men never die, and his hero spirit still hovers around and over us, clothed in light and crowned with a diadem of glory. See, he

"There was one man belonging to Co. E who got wounded and was left on the field, and our men could not get him, nor had they got him last night. They got to him to-day and took hold of him to get him away, and he made a noise, and the Rebs fired onto them, and they had to leave him. So the Rebs keep him there to bait our men so they can shoot them, and the wounded man will have to lay there and suffer and die. I suppose he lays about 20 feet from the Rebs' rifle-pits." – Priv. Nathaniel H. Marvin, Co. H, near Petersburg, Va., July 3, 1864.

Three men from Co. E were reported killed on June 30, 1864, including Priv. Clement Carr, Corp. Seymour Carr, and Serg't. Charles F. Harrington.

examination of the body, but found no marks of violence, and it is probable that he jumped or fell overboard while under the influence of liquor, and a verdict of accidental drowning was accordingly rendered. A despatch was sent to the relatives of the unfortunate man at Whitehall, and Andrew Carver arrived on the evening sleeper. The remains were taken to that place Saturday evening for burial, a detachment of the G. A. R., of which organization he was a member, accompanying them to the depot. The Whitehall Times, in speaking of the finding of the corpse, says:

'He enlisted in the 123d Reg. N. Y. Vols. early in 1861, afterward re-enlisted in the 169th N. Y. and served until he was honorably discharged in July of 1865. He was 46 years of age at the time of death and leaves one son of fourteen years. His brother George speaks with almost fraternal feeling of the Veterans of Plattsburgh, who when learning that the deceased had been a soldier and identifying the discharge George had in his possession, took immediate action. The body in its casket was removed from the public building in which it lay, to their headquarters, while wives and sisters arranged a wreath of flowers to place upon it. In the brief time allowed they bestowed sympathy and help to the stranger's corpse as though it had been one of their own association. To these Veterans the relations of the dead soldier tender their heartfelt thanks.'"

Full name was Edgar Tefft Chapman, as inscribed in Gothic script on the monument and verified through other sources. The regimental roster implies a year of birth of 1831, whereas the obituary lists 1820. Cemetery records list his age at death as 81years, 7 months, 8 days, which implies a date of birth of June 15, 1829. The gravestone inscription apparently agrees with cemetery records, although the "1" in "15" is difficult to discern due to a crack in the stone.

Mount Ida Cemetery, estab-lished in 1832 on Pawling Avenue, is often referred to as Old Mount Ida Cemetery by locals, and a historical marker at its gate refers to it as such, but its official name has always been just Mount Ida Cemetery, something the DAR got right with their book "Inscriptions of graves from Mt. Ida cemetery." In records prior to 1854, one may occasionally find it referred to as New Mount Ida Cemetery. Some interment records refer to it as the 3rd Burial Ground.

Mount Ida Cemetery, Troy, Rensselaer County, N.Y.

Mount Ida Cemetery, estab-lished in 1832 on Pawling Avenue, is often referred to as Old Mount Ida Cemetery by locals, and a historical marker at its gate refers to it as such, but its official name has always been just Mount Ida Cemetery, something the DAR got right with their book "Inscriptions of graves from Mt. Ida cemetery." In records prior to 1854, one may occasionally find it referred to as New Mount Ida Cemetery. Some interment records refer to it as the 3rd Burial Ground.

History of Homœopathy Biographies Presented by Sylvain Cazalet

DELAVAN, JOHN SAVAGE, M. D., of Washington, D. C., was born at Ballston, Saratoga county, N. Y., on October 18th, 1840. He is the son of the late Edward C. and Abbey S. Delavan. He received a first-class education. As a boy he attended Charlier Institute, N. Y., and on leaving that establishment, he proceeded to Union College, Schenectady. His general education completed, and having chosen medicine for a profession, he at once commenced its study. Having passed through the usual preliminary tutelage under a physician, he entered Albany Medical College, observed the regular course, and graduated from that institution with marked credit, in 1861.

Immediately after graduating, he began the practice of his profession, adopting homœopathy as the law of cure, having previously investigated its principles and proved their truth. For nearly two years he served in the Army, part of the time at the Hospital in Washington, and the remainder in the field as First Assistant Surgeon of the 1st Connecticut Artillery. On leaving the army, he settled down to practice in New York State, and subsequently spent two years in Europe, during which time he studied carefully in some of the principal cities in Great

Britain and on the continent, laying up a store of professional experience of the utmost value. He is now settled in Washington, where he is rapidly building up an excellent connection.

In 1866, Dr. Delavan was elected Treasurer of the New York State Homœo-pathic Medical Society, and held the position to the great advantage of the association for one year.

Dr. Delavan was married, in 1861, to Helen, daughter of Hon. A. D. Robinson, of Albany.

An accomplished physician, careful and attentive to all the details of his profession, an earnest student, a courteous and genial gentleman, Dr. Delavan is destined to occupy a high rank in the profession.

Listed as "Doyle, James, d. Jul. 1, 1864" on the VA Nationwide Gravesite Locator, which clearly contradicts the information from the official register of the regiment. It would be highly unusual to see such a combination of errors in the register, so there is doubt that the person listed at City Point National Cemetery is one and the same. Nevertheless, the VA Gravesite Locator is in agreement with the Rolls of Honor and Find A Grave, both of which list Private Doyle as being a member of Co. G; in addition, the Find A Grave memorial contains the following comment: "Rest in Peace, Doyle, James, Pvt., Jul. 1, 1864, Co. G, 169th N.Y. Inf. – Bev." The "Roll of Honor" also lists the date of death as July 1, 1864. No pension record was found for James Doyle, Co. G, 169th N.Y.V.

Cemetery's South Gate. The vault's construction actually gives a hint about one of its occupants, Charles DuMary (or Dumary). Born in 1822 in Albany to Irish parents, he appears in the 1850 census records as a stone cutter living in Troy. He enlisted during the Civil War and was event-ually promoted to 1st Lieut-enant of Companies C and G of the 169th Infantry. Return-ing to Troy, he resumed his trade and later census records list him firs as a marble cutter, then as a master stone cutter. It is very possible that this vault was his own work. He died of Bright's Disease in 1879. Despite its fortress-like appearance, this vault was the site of one of the Rural Cemetery's worst incidents of vandalism. In June, 1972, someone forced open the doors and pried open several crypts inside. Charles Dumary's crypt was broken open and part of his remains removed from his coffin. While the design of this vault is very simple to the point of austerity, it's worth walking around to the side to see this beautiful window." – Paula Lemire.

Pension File Index Card

b. ca. 1844, d. June 16, 1863

The date of death according to "The Dwyer Family" manuscript was June 16, 1863; the regimental roster reports it as the 19th, which may be the date of burial, and the pension file index card lists the date as May 3d.

The Virginian-Pilot, Norfolk, Va., August 19, 2007: "Suffolk's roots run deep in 200-year-old cemetery, state landmark… Confederate battle flags mark the graves of a few of the hundreds of Civil War soldiers buried during and after the war. Although Union soldiers are buried there as well - the Union army occupied Suffolk in May, 1862 - most are in unmarked graves, Woodward said. Many of those Union soldiers in marked graves came to Suffolk after the war, and didn't flaunt their service record."

Lost at sea in the sinking of the U.S. Army Transport North America, which found-ered off the southern coast of Georgia on December 22, 1864. The ship sank at night a fair distance off the coast of Georgia in heavy seas. No bodies were recovered. The captain recalled, in his deposi-tion, that the ship went down at "latitude 31 degrees 10 minutes, north longitude 78 degrees 40 minutes west." It is unknown how accurate these figures are as the ship's deck log went down with the steamer, i.e. this figure came from his memory only.

From the inventory of the effects of Daniel F. Flood, a private of Co. K, 2d N.Y. Veteran Cavalry: "Enrolled as a veteran at Glens Falls, N.Y., on September 26th, 1863, and was mustered into the service of the United States as a veteran on November 10th, 1863, at Saratoga, N.Y. Born in Ireland, was 44 years old, 5 ft., 9 in., farmer by occupation, who drowned at sea on December 22, 1864, by reason of the wreck of the transport North America."

From the link: "The persistency of Daniel F. Flood to serve his country ultimately led to his death. At the age of 42, much older than the average Civil War soldier, Flood, enlisted on September 1, 1861, at Fort Edward, N.Y., as a private, and mustered into Co. F, 2d New York Cavalry. In late February, 1862, he was discharged for disability at Camp Palmer, Va. About six months later, in August 1862, he re-enlisted, at Kingsbury, N.Y., as a private, and mustered into Co. D, 169th N.Y. Infantry. In seven months, Flood, once again, was found unfit for duty and discharged for disability at Washington, D.C. Now 44 years old, Flood enlisted a third time, on September 26, 1863, at Glens Falls, N.Y., and was mustered in as a private in Co. K, 2d New York Veteran Cavalry. He met his fate on December 22, 1864, when the steamer he was traveling on went down in the Gulf of Mexico, and Flood drowned."

The transport North America was carrying Union soldiers who had fallen sick from malaria while occupying several plantations in Louisiana. The majority of the soldiers came from three hospitals in

New Orleans (Private Flood was in the Marine Hospital). They were being sent to New York because the hospitals in New Orleans were overcrowded and it was hoped the move to a better climate would help them recover from their respective maladies. The ship began taking on water in heavy seas off the southern coast of Georgia. Over 192 men died when the boat sank.

We buried him with honors, and all that is left of Frisbie, a good man of good habits, cheerful disposition, and refined feelings, is his name on the muster rolls of Company A, and even that will disappear on succeeding rolls. Father and son were both in the same company and both are dead; the son lies in the cemetery at Suffolk, the father beneath the palmetto of Folly Island, both victims of this wicked rebellion. At Suffolk, the father, when not on duty, roamed over to his son's grave and embellished it with shrubbery and flowers. On several such visits he returned to camp bringing bouquets of wild flowers.

"Bernard (Barney) Gaffey" was an alias for Bernard Manning, according to the pension file index card.

The following entry is found in Land-marks of Rensselaer County, New York, p. 218 (1897) – "Manning, John G., was born in Troy, N.Y., September 26, 1860. His father, Bernard Manning, was born in Ireland and came to the United States with his parents when young and settled in Troy; he was a moulder and one of the founders of the Co-operative Stove Works and died in 1878. His mother, Mary A. Galligan, was born in Troy where she still resides. John G. received his education in the public schools of Troy and graduated from the Troy High School in the class of 1878; he then went to work for W. A. Chapman in the saddlery hardware business, and in 1884 Mr. Chapman sold out to Manning, Patterson & Co. Mr. Patterson withdrew from the concern in 1890 and since that time the firm name has been John G. Manning & Co. He is a member of the Troy Citizens Corps; he served eleven years in the Sixth Separate Company and is now sergeant in the senior branch of the Troy Citizens Corps; he is a member of the Laureate Boat Club of which he is treasurer and one of the trustees. He was married to Minnie Geer of Troy, April 11, 1888. "

"ARREST OF TROY BOUNTY JUMPERS. – We learn from Utica papers the particulars of the arrest of a Trojan named Wm. McIntosh, in that city, charged with en-ticing one Sanford Hogle, another Trojan, to desert from the 169th regiment. Hogle enlisted in Capt. Frank W. Tarbell's company, of this regiment, on the 27th ult. On the 8th inst. he went to Albany, was mustered in, and immediately received $300 in bounty money, paid by Rensse-laer county. He then asked permission to go out to a saloon to get something to eat, and it was granted. He went out with Wm. McIntosh, who appeared to be his particular crony, and has not been seen by his officers since. Next day, McIntosh started west on the Central. In the meantime, Capt. Tarbell had started off in pursuit of McIntosh with the hope of

finding Hogle. He arrived in Utica the same evening (the 9th), and next morning, as he was taking a walk, came across McIntosh and arrested him; soon after which the latter unguardedly made admissions fatal to his liberation, one of which was that he knew Hogle was to desert the day they were in Albany. Going to the Northern Hotel, the Captain found that McIntosh had written on the register for his name the curious word 'Callasellsokyeg.' His trunk was found to contain various articles of Hogle's cloth-ing, including his soldier's overcoat. On the examination it also appeared that he had made an appointment to meet Hogle at a place in Utica. McIntosh was taken before U. S. Commissioner Boyce, by whom he was held for trial at the Quarter term. On Friday last, Deputy U. S. Marshal Donaldson came to Troy and visited the house of MRS. ELIZABETH HOGLE, the mother of the deserter, for the purpose of arresting her, and making fur-ther discoveries. A daughter pretended that the mother had gone away, but she was found hidden in the house and brought to Utica. Her case was examined by the Commis-sioner, Friday, C. O. TAPPAN, Assistant District Attorney, acting as counsel for the Government, and J. T. SPRIGGS for the prisoner. She was committed until Tuesday next for further examination.

The second day after we went there, the Rebs opened on us for the first time, and killed and wounded several of the men, before they could get under cover. Mint Knowlton was pretty severely wounded. I got a letter from one of the boys that got wounded the same day that Mint did, and who went to the same hospital, and he says that Mint died on the boat between City Point and Fortress Monroe."

workshop at the rear of the residence to do some work. A few minutes later the young man, who was a short distance from Mr. McGill, turned around and saw him in a stooping position and going to his assistance thought that he had fainted. He ran into the house and summoned his father, who went out at once, but Mr. McGill, who was then unconscious gasped only a couple of times and expired. His death was due to heart trouble with which he had long been afflicted, being close to death's door a number of times before. The deceased was born at Ogdensburg, N.Y. and was 63 years old the 4th of last March. During the war he was a private in Co. F, 169th N.Y. Reg., and soon after the close of the war came to Stevens Point and had since worked at his trade as a carpenter. One daughter, Mrs. B. V. (Nellie) Martin, died about seven years ago, and besides his wife he leaves two step-daughters, Alice Tupper Estes, who resides near Fairhaven, Wash., and a step-son, J. Henry Tupper, also a resident of the latter state. He also leaves one sister, Miss Annie McGill at Ogdensburg, N.Y. Mr. and Mrs. McGill returned from Washington last fall, after living there about six years. He was a good citizen, courteous and gentlemanly, and many friends will be pained to learn of his sudden death. The funeral, it is expected, will take place from the residence of Mr. Vaughn at 2 o'clock Friday afternoon.

James's wife Elizabeth is buried at Forest Cemetery, Stevens Point, Portage County, Wisc., and her Find A Grave memorial is # 75605711. The cemetery has no record of James being buried there.

The nearest match is for a John McMahon, who died at the home on March 2, 1922, aged 78. He was buried in what is believed to be Nevada, Ohio.

CHARGE OF MURDER. Death of a Victim of an Alleged Assault – Blood Poisoning Developed. William Hughes, who was arrested last week on a charge of assault in the first degree committed upon James McQueen, now faces a charge of murder in the first degree, his alleged victim having died last night. Hughes, it is alleged, in a fight with McQueen struck the latter on the head with a brick, inflicting a wound which proved fatal. The fight occurred May 21 on Scotch Hill, in the southern part of the city. McQueen and Hughes, it is alleged, quarreled and clinched. Several blows were exchanged. McQueen, it is said, bit Hughes' hand. Hughes, it is alleged, picked up the brick and threw it at McQueen, striking him on the head. McQueen was taken home. He grew worse until last week, when blood poisoning developed. Arrested For Assault. Detective Manning and Special Officer Lawrenson arrested Hughes Thursday on a charge of assault in the first degree. He was later released on bail. Coroner DeFreest took McQueen's ante-mortem statement Friday. Yesterday Captain McGrath of the First Precinct was notified by Dr. Love, who was attending McQueen, that the latter could live but a few hours, and Hughes was immediately rearrested. Coroner DeFreest will make an investiga-tion and will hold an inquest. In Police Court. Hughes was arraigned in Police Court this morning before Judge Doherty. He pleaded not guilty to a charge of murder in the first degree. He was represented by James M. Ryan as counsel. Mr. Ryan stated that two brothers of the dead man, William and [Thomas] McQueen, had been arrested on a charge of assault in the first degree

Judge Doherty adjourned consideration of the murder charge until Friday, when the District Attorney's office will be notified. Drs. Buchanan and Love performed an autopsy on the body to-day."

The Troy Daily Times, June 6, 1900: "The funeral of James McQueen, who died from injuries allegedly sustained at the hands of William Hughes, took place this afternoon from the residence on Erie Street. Post McConihe, of which the deceased was a member, attended the funeral and the bearers were members of the post."

The Troy Daily Times, June 14, 1900: "THE CAUSE OF DEATH. Inquest in the McQueen Case Commenced Yesterday by Coroner DeFreest – Due to Erysipelas. Coroner DeFreest yesterday afternoon began the inquest touching the case of James McQueen, whose death it is alleged was caused by a blow from a brick thrown by William Hughes. It is alleged that a quarrel took place between the men May 21, during which McQueen bit Hughes on the hand. Hughes, it is alleged, picked up a brick and threw it at McQueen, striking him on the back of the head, inflicting a wound which later developed blood poisoning and death. Attorney James M. Ryan appeared for Hughes, but inasmuch as the inquest is not a trial the Coroner would not permit cross-questioning by Mr. Ryan. Dr. Love testified that he was called to prescribe for McQueen May 28, seven days alter the fight. He found McQueen

He was corroborated by Dr. Buchanan, who made the autopsy in the presence of Drs. McKenna and Dickson. Dr. Buchanan testified that the brain was found slightly congested, and there was an incision or a bruise near the left ear such as might have been caused by a blow from a stone. Coroner DeFreest adjourned the inquest until this afternoon at 2.30 o'clock and at that time witnesses to the assault will testify."

Israel Mead, a rather sportive old veteran of the civil war, who lives on Harrington hill and drives a spirited young horse, came to the village Tuesday afternoon on pleasure bent. He was speeding his horse down Main street and tried to turn the corner at the south end of the Warren house at full speed, when his sleigh collided with the piazza and he was thrown out, landing violently on the ice about ten feet away. He was picked up and taken into the hotel, where he was attended by Dr. Howard. There were no bones broken and the old man sustained no other injury than a severe shaking up. His chief anxiety was about his horse, of which he is very fond. He was taken home later. The horse had already found its way there."

extreme process of collecting a relaid school tax from Israel Mead, of South Warrensburgh, his pulse went up in the air before he got through with the under-taking in this instance. 'General' Mead is a well known person-age in these parts. He is a veteran of the civil war and any G.A.R. gathering would have a lonesome feeling without him. In health and contentment "the general" lives on the edge of Harrington hill –

How blest is he whose wish and care A few paternal acres found. Content to breathe his native air On his own ground.

The above in connection with horse, cows, poultry and a pension keeps Mr. Mead in independence, free from want or care. It is his custom to come to the village several times a week – he owns one of the best horses in town. Collector Stone had spoken to Mr. Mead a number of times of late about paying his taxes, a matter of $9.44, three years school tax relaid on the town. A pension-er is not exempt from school taxes, but the collector was given to understand that his occupation was gone as far as getting the above amount was concerned. Coming to the conclusion that it was going to be a chase for his money, Mr. Stone took Jack Murphy in with him Saturday and started for Harrington hill and the home of Mr. Mead. "The general'' was at home but refused to talk business – he did not propose to pay the $9.44 and defied the authority of the collector to get it. Mr. Stone thereupon began to look around for loose property. He had not far to look. A barnyard scene! On one side stretches the winter landscape, bleak and bare.

Everything around so still and quiet looking. Not a leaf stirred. Within the yard enclosure a number of cows are silently ruminating, perhaps of pastures green, chewing the reflective cud. But the semblance of things changed when Mr. Stone suggested that in lieu of $9.44 he proposed to take a cow! At this "the general" drew himself up with a flourish and threatened to shoot before be would allow a cow of his to leave the premises. Seeing that the time for argument was up Mr. Stone proceeded to halter one of the cows and had finished the job just as Mr. Mead appeared flourishing a forty-four Smith & Wesson. The logic of how best to bring matters to a focus now stood Mr. Stone in hand. To face a "forty-four" is a nerve tester and the collector did not propose to be a mark, so he proceeded to disarm 'the general.' During this brief interval Jack Murphy was leading the cow toward town. In the general confusion the collector was bitten badly on the calf of his left leg by Mr. Mead's big dog. It would not be surprising if quite a crowd attended the public tax sale of the cow and the revolver which is advertised to take place Saturday afternoon at 1 o'clock in front of the Adirondack hotel."

The Glens Falls Morning Star, December 21, 1903: "Israel Mead, of Warrensburg, died at his home on Harrington hill, Saturday, aged about seventy years. About two weeks ago he was driving home from Warrensburg and let go of the reins for a minute. The horse started and he was thrown from the road cart, striking on his head and shoulders. While no bones were broken, he was badly bruised and shaken up and was obliged to take to his bed. Later, pneumonia set in, from which he died. Mr. Mead was a veteran

Morey, connected with Morey & Lee of this city, was seriously injured last night in an automobile accident at Franklin Square. Mr. Morey stepped aside to allow several ladies to board an Albia car ahead of him, when an automobile, bearing New York state license No. 5,200 B, struck him. The shield in front of the machine caught Mr. Morey in the throat and caused a deep gash. Dr. Hull attended, and said that he had never before seen a man live with such a cut. Mr. Morey lost much blood and is still in a weakened condition. At the Secretary of State's office in Albany this afternoon it was stated that license No. 5,200 B was taken out by Abraham Grunstein at 101 First Street. No such name appears in the local directory. Captain Morey is a veteran of the Civil War and was seriously wounded in that conflict."

Troy's Prominent Citizens Dies at His Residence – A Well-Known Business Man – A Veteran of the Civil War. Capt. Charles E. Morey, veteran of the Civil War and prominent in Masonic, business and church circles in Troy for the last thirty-five years, died at his home, 267 Pawling Avenue, last evening following a severe illness of three weeks' duration. For the last year Captain Morey's health had been poor as the result of an injury he sustained about a year ago, when he was knocked down by an automobile on Franklin Square. He was a native of Petersburgh, where he was born in 1837, but spent his boyhood and youth in Pitts-field, Mass. At the outbreak of the Civil War he enlisted in the One Hundred and Sixty-ninth New York Infantry and served until the end of the conflict, being must-ered out with the rank of Captain. In the battle of Cold Harbor he was shot through the chest and for a time his life was despaired of. Captain Morey was also engaged in these battles: Edenton Road, Fort Wagner, Cedar Creek, Chester Station and Drury's Bluff. Coming to Troy in 1880, he joined the State Street Methodist Church and from the start took a keen interest in its affairs, being consid-ered one of its most faithful members, seldom missing a service on Sundays or midweek, serving as class leader, Sunday School teacher and member of the Official Board. When he took up his residence in Troy he associated himself with the firm of Morey & Lee, of which his brother, M. W. Morey, was senior partner. Following the retirement of his brother he continued with the concern as bookkeeper. He was a member of Post Griswold, G. A. R., and of Pittsfield Lodge of Masons. His other- Masonic affiliations were with Oriental

The Virginian-Pilot, Norfolk, Va., August 19, 2007: "Suffolk's roots run deep in 200-year-old cemetery, state landmark… Confederate battle flags mark the graves of a few of the hundreds of Civil War soldiers buried during and after the war. Although Union soldiers are buried there as well - the Union army occupied Suffolk in May, 1862 - most are in unmarked graves, Woodward said. Many of those Union soldiers in marked graves came to Suffolk after the war, and didn't flaunt their service record."

"Soldiers Circle is guarded by a fine sentinel, a statue erected in 1905 as a tribute to the Grand Army of the Republic. A plaque was added some 24 years later listing the Civil War veterans of Langlade County. For a time, Antigo was home to the John A. Kellogg Post No. 78, G.A.R., named in honor of Gen. John A. Kellogg of Wausau. But by 1921 membership had dwindled to just 15, and in the 1930s the last Civil War veteran, John Newberry, died. Newberry, who had served with Co. G, 169th New York Infantry from August, 1864 to July, 1865, is not buried in Soldiers Circle, but nearby, just east of the monument."

The Troy Daily Times, February 23, 1863:

"A SAD CASE – A SOLDIER'S ORPHANS. – A truly sad case of suffering and death has come to light within a few days past, at the Nail Factory. Tne victim was the wife of a soldier named Parrott, and the mother of a family of six children. A short time since, she was taken sick, and yesterday was buried in a pauper's grave. The family is said to have suffered for want of the common necessaries of life, and but for the kind offices of the neighbors, the condition of the deceased would have been truly deplorable. Ald. Geo. Bord is acquainted with the facts in the case, and will no doubt see the orphans properly cared for. The father, Parrott, is a member of the One Hundred and Twenty-fifth regiment, and of course is ignorant of the condition of his family at home – Whig.

The innuendo conveyed in the above paragraph against Ald. Bord, is perfectly uncalled for, and most wicked, as is the effort to create the public impression that a deserving woman, the wife of a volun-teer, has perished from want of the com-forts of existence. Andrew Parrott is a soldier in the One Hundred and Sixty-ninth, who enlisted last Summer, and received the liberal bounties then paid. His wife was a feeble woman, but the children were not all helpless. On the organization of the volunteer fund committee of the Common Council, the

case of the family was presented to it by Ald. Bord, and at his motion, the sum of two dollars a week was paid, – he having come to the opinion, alter investigating their circumstances, that this sum, added to their other means of livelihood, would be sufficient. – The two dollars a week has since been regularly paid by the Alderman, who has thus been constantly acquainted with the case, and the insinuations that Mrs. Parrott's "suffering and death" were the result of starvation, and that she fills "a pauper's grave," amount to an attack upon him. The fund created by the Common Council is being administered in a most judicious manner for the objects intended, – and if the wives and children of any soldiers are without means of subsistence, it is because the Aldermen of their wards have not been made acquainted with their condition."

Pension File Index Card

Cemetery (now Blue Mountain Lake Cemetery on plot G.#4. This is where his son Edward was buried in 1900. Edward's grave has a headstone on it, but there is nothing for Seth. We are planning to install a VA headstone in the spring and having a ceremony dedicating the headstone sometime just before Memorial Day. We hope to have members of the Col. George L Willard Camp # 154 SUVCW, the local American Legion, etc. present. When moving back to the Adirondacks 5 years ago and settling in Long Lake, I discovered that Long Lake had a GAR Post (531) and it was the only one that lasted any length of time in Hamilton County. I have spent the last 4 years tracking down the 31 members of the Post (units, where they lived, where they died and buried, and any other information I could find). It has been quite a journey of discovery. I would like to see what you have on Seth Pierce. Can I get a copy? We will keep you informed of our schedule once we lock in the dates.

this statement was made this morning in the Police Court room before Justice Donohue. At 10 o'clock to-day George Clayton, who keeps a meat stall in the Fulton Market, chancing to pass a wagon filled with veal and meat belonging to Thomas Smith, examined the veal, and finding that it was about four days old called officer Hearne of the Second precinct, by whom Smith was arrested, and with the loaded wagon taken before Justice Donohue. There the prisoner claimed that he had bought the stuff of a farmer, who guaranteed it to be three weeks old, and he asked for an adjournment of the case half an hour to enable him to submit the veal to the inspection of practi-cal butchers. His request was granted, and both sides were allowed until 11 o'clock to procure witnesses. At the hour named Augustus Prell, on behalf of the prosecu-tion, testified that the veal was but three days old, and he went on to say that he had before the war killed 15,000 calves within three or

He also swore that it was generally understood, and that he had heard some of the men inter-ested say that the milk-men in Brunswick, Greenbush and adjoining towns were under con-tract to furnish all the calves their cows gave birth to within four days after birth to J. L. Schafer of Ida Hill, by whom they were sold to peddlers. For these calves, Prell testified, Schafer pays $2 each. Smith was unable to produce witnesses who could testify that the veal was fit for human food. His counsel claimed that the stuff had been pur-chased by his client, who was not an expert in meats, from a farmer, who guaranteed it to be three weeks old.

To the Editor of the Courier and Union:

SIR: I beg leave to trespass on your generosity by requesting the insertion of this note in your paper, containing a slight token of praise to a brave and faithful officer. The writer has reference to Lieutenant W. Quinn, of the Third New York Artil-lery. Being associated with him in the army, and knowing his career while in the military service of the United States for the last three years, the writer cannot depart from "the parting scenes" without saying something of his character, both as an officer and a gentleman. Lieut. Quinn entered the military service in the summer of 1862, as First Sergeant in the One Hun-dred and Sixty-ninth New York Volunteer Infantry, which was raised in Troy in this State. Participating in all the hard marches and several fights in which that regiment was engaged during the first year and a half of its existence, Lieut. Quinn was promoted to a Second Lieut-

enancy in the Third New York Light Artillery, being assigned to Battery B, serving in the Department of the South. He was the first artillery officer who marched into Charleston, S. C., after its evacuation, and was soon after promoted to a First Lieutenancy by His Excellency Gov. Fenton. A strict disciplinarian, affable and courteous, not feeling himself above the humblest in his battery, Lieut. Quinn has earned an enviable reputation, and will carry the best wishes of the men of his battery home with him. Justice to a fearless and brave officer, the recollect-tions of his good counsel and genial disposition, acts of kindness lavishly bestowed, all make it but a simple act of justice on the part of the writer to offer these remarks. And now that Lieut Quinn (and myself) are out of the United States' service, and will soon wend our way homeward to pursue the peaceful avo-cations of civil life, the writer has but one thing more to say, and that is to bid him an affectionate farewell.

The Troy Daily Times, May 6, 1901: A Public Servant Faithful Unto Death.

Hon. Michael Russell, State Senator from the district composed of Rensselaer County, died to-day at his home in this city, after a long and brave struggle with illness. The regret at the death of so good and so faithful a public servant as Senator Russell will be emphasized by the fact that his death resulted from his devotion to the people's interests. He was in truth a martyr to the public service. The beginning of Senator Russell's illness dates back to the time when, as a volunteer soldier wearing the Union blue in the One Hundred and Sixty-ninth Regiment of New York, a rebel bullet penetrated his body, causing a wound from which he never entirely recovered. When he sat with aching head at his desk in the State Senate chamber one night, and would not permit physical distress to cause him to forsake his duties to his constituents, although implored by his associates to consider his own personal safety, the stroke of apoplexy fell upon him. In all the long struggle to rally from that prostrating blow, his old wound, sustained for the American Union, interfered with its harassing pain and obstructive influence. So Senator Russell died for his country, for his state, for his

county, because his fidelity always placed the public service before personal comfort even when his own life was in the balance. Such a consideration, appealing as it does to popular gratitude, is not needed to make the people of Rensselaer County feel the sense of bereavement in Senator Russell's death. He was trusted absolutely as an honest and honorable man. To make operative his fine sense of right, there was industry which was really amazing. Senator Russell's perseverance knew no bounds. He was for three terms in the Assembly, and it became proverbial that the bills introduced by him as Assemblyman were sure to pass. For his industry was accompanied by geniality, a warm-hearted friendliness that disarmed all opposition. In his last term as Assemblyman he had become so conspicuous as a legislator of influence that he was placed on the foremost committee of the Assembly – the Committee on Ways and Means. The popular majorities which Mr. Russell received were evidence that the people liked him and believed in him. He was a winning campaigner. He was omnipresent in his district, a stirring and convincing speaker on the public platform, with a sincere hand outstretched to everybody. Senator Russell never betrayed a trust which the people placed in his hands. When a bill was introduced in the state Assembly which would have classed Troy's collar workers in the same category with the employes of the sweatshops of New York city, Senator Russell said that it must not be. He aroused the collar manufacturers and led an organized opposition that held the entire bill

motionless until the obnoxious provision was eliminated. It is a melancholy pleasure, mingled with the sombre solemnity of this event of death, to dwell upon the noble friendship, the inflexible fidelity, of this good citizen and earnest legislator. He was a tender and thoughtful husband and father, he was helpful to neighbors and friends, he was true to the Republican party, which represented his highest national ideals, whether he was on the battlefield or in the council halls of the state; he never wavered in his allegiance to those leaders upon whom his party had placed the responsibility of leadership, and the voice of the people was to him the authority of an unquestionable law. Whatever opponents he might have in the marshaling of the forces of political partisanship, he had no personal enemies. Every voice will speak the mournful tones of regret that Michael Russell – comrade in the Republic's armies, Senator in his state's Legislature, loyal citizen and friend in heart and hand – has passed beyond the sound of earth's roll-calls.

The Albany Times reported on July 14, 1882 that a "John Sedore" was reported to have been "slightly injured" in an explosion while working on a construction contract on the West Shore railroad at Milton, Saratoga County, N.Y. Several members of the work crew died in the explosion.

The Ancestry message board has the following post, dated August 8, 2000: "Looking for any information on Hiram Shaw. Hiram was born in New York, and I found a directory from the Rensselaer County, N.Y., Gazetteer, which said that Hiram Shaw enlisted in the 169th Regiment on December 28, 1863, during the Civil War. The story has it that he was a physician and had some Confeder-ate money which became worthless after the war. I found him on the 1870 U.S. Census in Bienville Parish, Louisiana. The 1880 U.S. Census has Hiram in Texas, (where my family is from), age 64, listed as physician." The 1880 U.S. Census implies a year of birth of ca. 1816, the regimental roster implies a year of birth of ca. 1820, and the gravestone inscription reads, "Hiram D.

The following article appeared in the Troy Daily Times, October 17, 1883: "William J. Shaw, formerly a letter carrier in this city, who escaped from the county house Monday, denies that he was ever an inmate of an asylum in Vermont. He says he was at one time employed as a bookkeeper at the house of correction at Rutland, but was not a prisoner."

The following article appeared in the Troy Daily Times, June 1, 1885: "Nellie Shaw was to-day appointed committee of the person and estate of her husband, William J. Shaw, who is an inmate of the state insane asylum at Poughkeepsie."

Patients who died at the Poughkeepsie Insane Asylum (Hudson River State Hospital) were buried in unmarked graves at the Rural Cemetery in Poughkeepsie, N.Y. Records of the burial locations apparently still exist:

Mr. Smith was born in Lansingburgh September 21, 1824, and was the son of John Smith, a resident of the village. He received his education in the public schools, and when young embarked in business. The deceased was married in 1844 to Mary L. Sterry. During the civil war he enlisted in Company K, One Hundred and Sixty-ninth Regiment, New York Volunteers. His fine work and strict attention to duty won the confidence of his superior officers and he was rapidly promoted, becoming Second Lieutenant, afterward First Lieutenant and finally Captain of Company F. He participated in every engagement with his regiment and was in thirty-two battles. He participated in both expeditions against Fort Fisher, Major Smith was shot in the neck at Cold Harbor and was disabled for some time. On his recovery he resumed his duties and continued his excellent work. The deceased received his discharge July 18, 1865, and on his return the Governor brevetted him Major for gallant service on the battlefield. Major Smith was a charter member of Post Bolton, G. A. R., and was Commander several years. He was President of the One Hundred and Sixty-ninth Regiment Veterans' Association, and September 25, 1896, was presented a handsome silver tea service by his comrades.

Censuses indicate that Mary was living in Troy with her daughter Emma, who had married Albert Springer, son of Jacob H. Springer, according to the 1880 U.S. Census. Forest Park Cemetery records indicate Stephen died in 1894, was first buried at Eagle Mills Cemetery, and that his remains were transferred to Forest Park in 1900. Stephen's wife Mary purchased a grave at Forest Park Cemetery at Grave No. 112 and she died in 1910. I checked the somewhat incomplete map of the Kings plot at Forest Park and found a plot labeled Mary Smith / Albert Springer. The sales record did not mention Albert, but indicated that Mary purchased the gravesite just about the time Stephen was reburied. "There were several re-interments at Forest Park on October 19, 1900, just prior to when Stephen's remains were transferred:

"Edward Smith, died October 25, 1899, 'removed from Millville.'

"Martha J. Smith, died October 19, 1889 'removed from Millville.'

"William E. Springer, died December 5, 1896, 'removed from Brick Church.'

Landmarks of Rensselaer County, N.Y.: "Stewart, Hiram E., a prominent and well known veteran of the late war, was born in Petersburgh in 1842. Eliphalet, his grandfather, was one of three brothers who came from Scotland before the Revolutionary war; he became a soldier and participated in the battle of Bunker Hill, and after the war removed to Petersburgh, where he engaged in farming. He was twice married and reared three children by his first wife and four by his second; he lived to be eighty eight. Hiram, father of Hiram E., was born in Petersburgh in 1812, a child of the last marriage; he spent his life as a farmer. His wife was Mary A. Hiscock, born in Petersburgh in 1817 and a daughter of William Hiscock; their children were Hiram, William, Franklin and Sarah; he died in 1888 and his wife survives him and resides on the homestead; they were both members of the M.E. church. Hiram E. remained at home until the war broke out, when he enlisted in Co. H, 169th N.Y. Volunteer Infantry, August, 1862, and served three years, participating in all the engagements of his regiment. He was wounded in the leg in the battle of Petersburg. After his return he became station agent for the old Troy and Boston Railroad at North Petersburgh, with whom he remained until 1870, when he engaged in the hotel and general mercantile business, and was postmaster from 1811 until 1888.

The Find A Grave memorial contains the following message: "An attempt was made to find a headstone for Manley, but none can be found." The following message was received from a Find A Grave volunteer by Steven M. Wiezbicki, Historian of the 169th N.Y.: "I have walked the cemetery and cannot find a gravestone for this person. The cemetery office says they have no record of anyone with that name being buried there."

SWAN, EDWARD C. – Age, 37 years. Enlisted, September 6, 1862, at Troy, to serve three years; mustered in as private, Co. G, October 6, 1862; discharged for disability, April 9, 1863, at Washington, D. C.

Mount Ida Cemetery, Troy, Rensselaer County, N.Y.

Edward and his wife Isabella are buried "right at the area of a curve in the main road into the cemetery," according to one of their descendents, who adds that "they may have been buried beside their daughter, Frances Swan Spotten, and her husband, Freeman P. Spotten."

Mount Ida Cemetery, estab-lished in 1832 on Pawling Avenue, is often referred to as Old Mount Ida Cemetery by locals, and a historical marker at its gate refers to it as such, but its official name has always been just Mount Ida Cemetery, something the DAR got right with their book "Inscriptions of graves from Mt. Ida cemetery." In records prior to 1854, one may occasionally find it referred to as New Mount Ida Cemetery. Some interment records refer to it as the 3rd Burial Ground.

b. February 17, 1845, d. August 6, 1913

The "National Reporter System" lists Michael's name as Michael T. Tuite. The second Find A Grave memorial lists his full name as Michael Thomas Tuite, but incorrectly lists the cemetery as Englewood Cemetery in Clinton, Mo. The first Find A Grave memorial lists a year of birth of 1845, and the second Find A Grave memorial lists a date of birth of February 17, 1845. The regimental roster implies a year of birth of ca. 1839, but in a civil lawsuit made by his widow against the issuer of a death benefit certificate, "the plaintiff and two other witnesses were permitted, over the objection of defendant, to testify that Tuite had told them that he was only 14 or 15 years old when he enlisted in 1862," which would imply a year of birth of ca. 1847. He died at the Kansas State Soldiers' Home, a.k.a. the Western Branch National Military Home, Leavenworth, Leavenworth County, Kans.

The church stands as a monument to a man who not only looked at the present but also planned for the future. Dr. Van Santvoord died on May 29, 1882. Although his name is not on the monument above the vault, there is no reason to doubt he is buried there. The name of William McMurray on the monument has raised queries. The early church records show that Mrs. Van Santvoord's first husband was a Southwick and they had three children, two boys and a girl. These are the children Dr. Van Santvoord had baptized at the first communion service. On August 13, 1839 it is recorded that William McMurray married C. Augusta Southwick, the ceremony being performed by her step-father, Rev. Staats Van Santvoord. McMurray passed away on February 21, 1841 in the 27th year of his age. The unique epitaph is: 'We die, to Sleep – Then wake, To sleep no more.'"

The Troy Daily Times, August 5, 1864:

DEATH OF CAPT. VAUGHN OF THE ONE HUNDRED AND SIXTY-NINTH REGIMENT. – Lieut. S. Kinney, Regimental Quartermaster, has written a letter, from Camp near Petersburg, July 26th, to a friend in Whitehall, communicating the intelligence of the death of Capt. Vaughn, of the One Hundred and Sixty-ninth regiment. The letter states:

He was killed in action about eight o'clock this morning, in a charge made upon the enemy's works. He was struck by a grape shot in the right hip, the ball passing through the lower extremities of his bowels. He lived about an hour and a half after he was brought off the field, and was perfectly conscious to the last moment. He knew that he must die, and desired that his dying love might be sent to his friends at Whitehall and West Troy. Before he died, he said that he did not want his body sent home, but buried on the field. Otherwise the officers of the regiment would have had his body embalmed and forwarded to his friends. The Chaplain and myself buried him with great care near our camp. His grave will be properly taken care of and marked, so as to be easily identified. I will take care of his effects and keep them subject to the disposition of his friends. All the means in our power were used to inform his brother of his death, but he could not be found. The Captain was beloved and respected by all, both officers and men. We shall mourn his loss and extend our sympathies to his bereaved friends.

Capt. Vaughn lived in West Troy, where he was well-known and had numerous

friends, as he had in this city. He was a brave, gallant and efficient officer, and his death will bring sincere grief to all who ever knew him.

The Troy Daily Times, August 10, 1864: "FROM THE ONE HUNDRED AND SIXTY-NINTH. – Mr. Wm. H. Merriam, writing from the headquarters of the Tenth Army Corps, on the 6th to the Herald says: The death of Capt. Augustus D. Vaughn, of the One Hundred and Sixty-ninth Volunteers, is announced among the casualties of the 30th July in front of Petersburg. Capt. Vaughn was a resident of Whitehall, New York, at the outbreak of the war, whence he brought a company to Troy in that State, to aid in the perfecting of the One Hundred and Sixty-ninth New York Volunteers. The chief characteristics of the late Capt. Vaughn were coolness, decision, activity and personal bravery. He met death with that fortitude which he had ever displayed in life, receiving a wound from which he survived only a few hours."

The Troy Daily Times, July 24, 1865: "THE MINE. The regiment next took part in the celebrated mine explosion of July 30. Here Capt. A. D. Vaughn, of Co. F, a gallant and glorious fellow, was killed. Brave as a lion, courteous and kind to all, 'None named him but to praise.' His dying request was to be buried on the field of battle, and he sleeps in an unknown, but not unwept or dishonored grave."

The Troy Daily Times, July 26, 1865: "Neither must we omit a melancholy remembrance of those other gallant, tried and faithful officers, who have fallen on the field ere reaching the goal of Peace. To memory dear will ever be the names of

Crippen; the genial and true officer and soldier, Ryan; and Cipperly and McGregor, all of whom met soldiers' deaths as soldiers most of all desire to die."

The Troy Daily Times, May 29, 1869: "Whitehall. The decorations of soldiers' graves to-morrow cannot be carried out in this place. Whitehall lost heavily during the late rebellion, although none of the bodies of her dead heroes were brought North, with the exception of Capt. A. D. Vaughn, whose remains are resting in the West Troy cemetery. Memory brings back to us the forms and features of Lieut. John Corbett, Sergeant L. Gillett, privates Cull, Holt, Allen and others who fell at Chancellorsville. May the God of the brave decorate the turf which covers the forms of these heroes, who gave up their lives that our Union might be perpetuated."

The Troy Daily Times, September 27, 1887: "Private Waters of company F presented to the association the sash worn by Capt. Vaughn at the time he was killed at the mine explosion in front of Petersburg, [July] 30, 1864. Private Waters took the sash from Capt. Vaughn's body in the crater. The sash was cut in several places by rebel bullets."

Ida cemetery." In records prior to 1854, one may occasionally find it referred to as New Mount Ida Cemetery. Some interment records refer to it as the 3rd Burial Ground.
