Two Arrested For Child Endangerment

Members of the Lewis County Sheriff’s Office arrested Joseph B. Budig, age 36, and Crystal L. Pratt, age 38, of rural LaGrange, Mo., on Sept. 16, on one count of Endangering the Welfare of a Child in the First Degree, a class C felony. Both defendants reside together and are alleged to have knowingly acted in a manner that created a substantial risk to the life, body and health of a child less that 17 years of age by forcing her to stand in a corner for extended periods of time and by striking about the legs with a belt and wooden rod. These arrests stem from an investigation conducted in August 2012. The Sheriff’s Office was assisted by the LaGrange Police Department, Missouri Children’s Division, and Lewis County Juvenile Office. Both subjects were released on bond.

EDITORIAL ADVENTURES OF WONDER MOM I’ve shared cleaning reviews and crafty tutorials with you, so now, my goal is to share some recipes with you as well. Here are some outstanding recipes that are not only relatively easy to make (minus the bread which seemed somewhat tough without a bread machine) but are also really fantastic. Brown Sugar and Honey Pork Ingredients: - Pork Shoulder (I prefer boneless, and sizes can vary. Get the largest size you can) - 2 ½ cups of brown sugar - 1/3 cup of honey Place the entire pork shoulder into your crock pot and cover with the brown sugar and honey. Cover and cook on low for 10-12 hours or on high for 5-6. (I would suggest low heat if you have the time because it gives more time for the sugar and honey to cook into the meat.) As the pork cooks, it will create a liquid down at the bottom of the crock pot. Pour this liquid over the pork before serving to give it extra flavor. Orange Ginger Broccoli Ingredients: - Fresh ginger root - 1 cup of brown sugar - 16 oz. Bag of frozen broccoli - Large bottle of orange juice This method may seem strange, but it yields a wonderful result. Empty your frozen broccoli into a pot and instead of covering the broccoli with water to cook, cover it with orange juice. (If you’d like, you can dilute it with water) Turn the eye to medium and allow the broccoli and orange juice to come to a boil. After boiling, add brown sugar. Grind up some fresh ginger and toss into the pot as well. (I have not given an amount of ginger for a reasonsome people like ginger, some do not. Taste-test the mixture as you are adding ginger to determine whether to add more or not) Stir well and cover, reducing heat to low-medium for fifteen minutes. Strain broccoli and enjoy. Mashed Cauliflower Ingredients: - 1 large bag of frozen cauliflower - Milk - 2-3 tablespoons of butter - 2 tablespoons sour cream - Salt and pepper to taste Pour frozen cauliflower into pot and cover with water. Place heat on medhigh. Once boiling, reduce heat and cover. Allow to boil for 20-25 minutes or until very soft.

BARTLETT Strain cauliflower and put into pot. Mash cauliflower as you would potatoes. Add butter and sour cream. Add milk until desired thickness is reached. One desired consistency is reached, add salt and pepper to taste. Honey Wheat Bread (recipe from allrecipes. com) Ingredients: - 2 cups warm water (110 degrees F/45 degrees C) - 2 cups whole wheat flour - 1 tablespoon active dry yeast - 1 teaspoon salt - 1/3 cup honey - 1/3 cup vegetable oil - 5 cups all-purpose flour Dissolve yeast in warm water. Add honey, and stir well. Mix in whole wheat flour, salt, and vegetable oil. Work all-purpose flour in gradually. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface, and knead for at least 10 to 15 minutes. When dough is smooth and elastic, place it in a well-oiled bowl. Turn it several times in the bowl to coat the surface of the dough, and cover with a damp cloth. Let rise in a warm place until doubled in bulk, about 45 minutes. Punch down the dough. Shape into two loaves, and place into two well greased 9 x 5 inch loaf pans. Allow to rise until dough is 1 to 1 1/2 inches above pans. Bake at 375 degrees F for 25 to 30 minutes. Quick and Easy Pasta Sauce Ingredients: - 1 clove garlic (well minced) - ½ onion - 2 16 oz. cans tomato sauce - 1 8 oz. can tomato paste - 1 handful parmesan cheese - salt and pepper - lemon pepper Pour two cans of tomato sauce into boiler and turn on medium heat. As the sauce is heating, begin adding other ingredients, saving the salt and pepper until last to taste. Allow to cook 20-25 minutes, stirring frequently.

Electronic Payments: The Best (And Soon Only) Way To Get Your Benefit Chances are, if you receive Social Security benefits, Supplemental Security Income (SSI), or any federal payment, you receive it electronically. More than 90 percent of people getting monthly Social Security benefits already receive electronic payments. If you don’t yet, that’s about to change. There is a U.S. Department of Treasury rule that does away with paper checks for most federal benefit and nontax payments by March 1, 2013. With a few exceptions, this mandate includes Social Security, SSI, Veterans Affairs, Railroad Retirement Board, Office of Personnel Management benefits, and C Y

other non-tax payments. People required to switch have the option of direct deposit to a bank or credit union account or they can have their monthly payment directed into a Direct Express® debit card account (Treasury’s debit card program). Please visit www.godirect.org to learn more. If you still get your check in the mail, don’t wait for the new rule to go into effect next year— sign up for electronic payments now. Please visit www.godirect.org today and begin getting your Social Security and SSI payments the safe, easy, reliable way — electronically. M K

In what is thought to have been an attempt to wreck a train, 12 rail spikes were pulled out of the QO&KC track and three rail bolts were removed. That spot selected was about a mile and a quarter past Edina. Twain No. 42, mixed passenger and freight, passed over the place Monday morning without disaster, and the trouble was located shortly afterward by section foreman, W.O. Garrett. Mary Elizabeth Prentice, 60, died in St. Mary Hospital. Mrs. Prentice was well known and highly respected by the people of this part of the county having lived for many years east of Lewistown. At one time, her husband, William, owned nearly a thousand acres of land just east of Lewistown and was engaged in the livestock business. For years he prospered but later was compelled to sell the farm in small tracts.

A speaker’s stand had been built near the depot and as the names of the boys were called they took their places. Dr. J.T Muir introduced Judge Coolery who made a stirring talk. Dr. John Wood, president of Culver-Stockton College, also delivered an able talk. Sunny Side’s tribute to the boys who left: The editor suggests that patriotic people meet at Monticello Wednesday morning to go with “the Boys” to meet the train on their way to the training camp. We cannot be one of those who respond because we do not wish to see our boys torn from their families and homes, although we realize it is necessary. We would gladly turn out to welcome them home when they return. We expect to be sweet in the neighborhood the coming winter.

LEWIS COUNTY LEADER QUICK FACTS

Brian Munzlinger Missouri State Senator 18th District

NAME: Brian Munzlinger

State Representative Brian Munzlinger (R) spoke with Rita Cox of the Press-News Journal about his role as a state senator.

POSITION: State Senator, 18th District FORMER POSITION: State Rep. for Northeast Missouri, First District HOMETOWN: Lifelong resident of Lewis County EDUCATION: University of Missouri, BS in General Ag, and teaching certificate in Ag Ed FAMILY: Wife Michelle and two children

Tell us about your education and family. I started school in Williamstown and went through the seventh grade when they consolidated with Canton R-V, where I continued until graduation. After graduation I went to the University of Missouri at Columbia where I received a BS in General Ag and a teaching certificate in Ag Education. I married Michele Franks (from Canton) 29 years ago and we have two wonderful children. I have served on numerous boards and committees which include National and State Corn Growers, County Farm Bureau, County Extension Council, County Fair Board and have been a 4-H leader, before being elected to public office. I worked with Senator Norman Merrell, Representatives Gary Wiggins and Sam Leake to help establish value-added agriculture processing farmer owned co-ops in Missouri. What committees do you serve on? I am the Chairman of Agriculture, Food Production and Outdoor Resources, and I also serve on the following committees: General Laws, Judiciary & Civil and Criminal Jurisprudence, Small Business, Insurance & Industry, Seneate Select Committee on Redistricting, Joint Committee on Legislative Research, Joint Committee on Life Sciences, Jooint Committee on Wetlands, Senate Interim Committee on Natural Disaster Recovery, Sub Committee on Fiscal Response, Secretary’s Council on Library Development.

Why did you first run for political office? I felt northeast Missouri needed someone who could represent rural Missouri and be knowledgeable about agriculture and business. How did your role change from a state representative to a state senator? Being a representative and a senator are two totally different worlds. I always enjoyed being a state representative and serving all the people in the five and a half counties which had no stop lights, no McDonald’s and no Wal-Marts. In the House I could focus on my specific issues that I was very familiar with and let the other 162 focus on their specialties. In the Senate, with just 34 of us, we all have to broaden our horizons. One example is that I served on the Judiciary Committee, usually seats held by attorneys. One other very important difference is Senate confirmation to state boards and commissions. These are very important positions that we as senators have a limited say in as to whom does or does not get confirmed. My Senate district also will have 14 counties and goes from the Mississippi River at Alexandria to the Missouri River at Brunswick. In the Senate we have a much broader base of issues which we deal with. Can you describe in typical day when the senate is in session? The Senate starts session on Mondays

at 4 p.m. and Tuesday--Thursday at 10 a.m. We start each day with a prayer and pledge of allegiance. Session generally goes from 10:00 until noon, then 4--6 p.m. Later in session (April and May) afternoon sessions go from 2--6 p.m. They have gone all day and night with no breaks until 7:30 a.m. during a filibuster. The public can listen to debate on the Senate website at www.senate.mo.gov When is some upcoming legislation you plan to work on? As far as the coming year’s legislation, I plan on working on youthful employment in agricultural production. Can you give us some thoughts on the drought Missouri experienced this summer? Concerning the drought; I am concerned about the livestock industry and the longterm effects because of possible reduced herd numbers. When the senate is not in session, tell us how you spend some of your time. I am still a farmer and keep the farm going with family help. Of course there are the county fairs, festivals, fish fries, soup suppers and ice cream socials where it is great to meet and renew acquaintances. I did make three parades this year on the 4th of July! It is fun to meet and serve all of the great people in Northeast Missouri. Thank you for the opportunity.

US Cellular Brings Back Calling All Communities U.S. Cellular is excited to announce the return of its Calling All Communities campaign. For the fourth year, U.S. Cellular is giving $1 million to schools to improve the education of students. The campaign invites communities to band together to vote for their school by visiting their local U.S. Cellular store to pick up a voting code and entering it online at uscellular. com. Voting begins this Friday, September 14 and runs through October 21. It would be great to have a local school be among the winning schools, and we want to spread the word to the community to get involved. The school that garners the most community votes will win $150,000 and the next 17 schools

with the most votes will receive $50,000. Calling All Communities is open to all K-12 schools — big or small, public or private. Each winning school can use the money however they choose. Missouri has had two winning schools in the past. One used the money for a new computer lab and the other school was able to buy a new gym floor. We would be happy to arrange an interview with a U.S. Cellular representative to discuss the campaign further and give tips to schools on how they can rally the vote. More details are in the press release attached, and there is more information about the campaign at uscellular. com/callingallcommunities.

Hurdland Church Correction Information about the Hurdland United Methodist Church was inadvertently omitted from the Knox County Guide pub-

lished last month. Services are held the second and fourth Sunday at 8:15 a.m. Nancy Douglas is the pastor.

CELEBRATIONS Farm Bureau holds annual meeting At the 64th Lewis County Farm Bureau (LCFB) Annual Meeting, held Sept. 6 at Highland High School, Dan Schmitz, President of LCFB, presented Rep. Craig Redmond, with the “Friend of Agriculture” Award. Jennifer Wood, presented a program on her recent A LOT trip to the Ukraine and Poland. Though Ukraine is not as modernized as Poland, much of the farm equipment in both countries was smaller than seen in the United States. Zach Erwin presented the “Century Farm” Award to the Ronald Scott family. Their farm had been in the family for over 100 years. Alisha McCarty, from the Mo Corn Growers Association, explained the advantages from the check-off money; working on the farm bill; renewable fuel standards; and working with the Missouri Farmers Care organization. Missouri Farm Bureau board member, Chris Chinn, spoke about the standards for school lunch. The recommended amount of calories for K-5 is 450, which includes: no meat at

breakfast, and only 1 oz. of meat for lunch. Sen. Brian Munzlinger, spoke about the importance of agriculture and importance of growing up on a farm. Senator Munzlinger has proposed a bill to allow kids to work on the farm if approved by their family. Rep. Craig Redmond, reminded everyone to fill out their MOFB questionnaires and get involved in politics. He told the group he will continue to fight for agriculture, and to keep those that don’t understand farming from attacking our way of life. At the business part of the meeting the following were elected to Lewis County Farm Bureau: Michele Munzlinger President; Robert DetersVice-President; and Ronald Krueger – secretary, treasurer. The following were elected to the board: Jennifer Wood, Jeff Lay, Michael Hicks, and Matt Bozarth. A major goal was achieved last year with 589 family memberships. This is the highest total memberships in the bureau’s 64 years.

LOCAL NEWS Ursa Farmers Cooperative Work Progressing

Submitted Photos

Work is rapidly moving forward on all parts of the Ursa Farmers Cooperative project. The superstructure of the conveyor has been assembled on the support towers and the portion of the conveyor that will cross over the railroad tracks was put in place on Friday morning, Sept. 14. This stretch of the conveyor will be completely enclosed as per the agreement with BNFL. When completed, the conveyor will carry 30,000 bushels of grain per hour. The conveyor will be a little over 1,100 feet long and clears the levee by 23 feet and the rail road track by 45 feet. BNFL provided flagman as part of the safety team for the day. Jim Upchurch, one of the project’s consultants, said “This step was one of the most important for the conveyor system and a credit to the millwrights, concrete people, BNFL, USDACE, UFC staff and the builders involved with this project.”

COMMUNITY NEWS Obituary

Obituary RADA JANE YOWELL Rada Jane (Tucker) Yowell passed away on Sept. 2, 2012. Yowell was born January 18, 1933 in Kirksville, Missouri, and passed away in Albuquerque, N.M. She graduated with a degree in nursing from Blessing Hospital School of Nursing in Quincy, Ill., and accepted a position on the surgical staff at City Hospital in St. Louis, Mo. She also worked at Mercy Hosptial in Orlando, Fla., and Lincoln County Medical Center in Ruidoso, N.M. She married Stanley Yowell in Canton, Mo., in April of 1955 and had five children. Jane loved the field of medicine and inspired her colleagues wherever she worked. Her healing gifts were well known; she nursed anything from orphaned baby bunnies to her newborn grandchildren and their nervous mothers. She could hold her own in conversation with the best regarding surgery, anatomy, botany, psychology, religion and politics. Jane was a woman of substanceâ€”confident and generous with her intellect, compassion, influence and courage. She had sufficient vitality to tackle a career and corral five children, often on her own since her husband traveled for his profession. She loved gardening, but she did not have a green thumb; she had a green body and a creative imagination that gained her a status of high regard with friends and neighbors. One brother, five children and six amazing grandchildren survive her. Additionally, she had a chile relleno recipe that was to die for, but Alzheimerâ€™s disease is what took this special soul to her final peace. In lieu of flowers for the family, we respectfully request that donations be made to the Alzheimerâ€™s Association. Please contact the New Mexico chapter at (505) 266-4473.

Highland played against Palmyra’s football team on Friday, Sept. 14 and was defeated 22-6. Pictured: Quarterback Austin Richmiller threw a pass to Derrick Smith for Highland’s only touchdown for the evening.

Luttrell Presents At Sportsmanship Summit The Missouri State High School Activities Association (MSHAA) is the association over all the high school activities- from Softball to Quiz bowl. Ashton Luttrell has been in the student advisory committee for MSHAA for three years now. Her sophomore year, Luttrell filled out an application and was chosen to represent the northeast region of the state. On Aug. 11, Luttrell joined other representatives from the state in a Sportsmanship Summit. When Luttrell arrived, she had every intention of doing her part to assist in putting on the presentations for those who

attended the Summit, but after partaking in a few meetings, she was told she’d be presenting alone. Ashton’s presentation was focused on teamwork. She explained that the majority of the presentation was teaching team bonding outside the court and field, and added that she learned a lot of ideas that her school, Highland, could use that would be very beneficial. When asked if she would suggest other interested students to join the MSHAA program, Luttrell responded with, “(Yes), it’s a really good opportunity. ”

Congratulations Coaches Clint Smith and Tina Birck and the Canton Lady Tigers on your trophy title. The 2012 Canton Lady Tigers include: Courtney Baalman, Jessie Campen, Aubrey Durst, LaChrisha Holder, Jordyn Crenshaw, Lauren Janney, Katie Rarick, Mariah Shaffer, Brittney Berhorst, Bailey Hoewing, Kayla Merrell, Allie Carper, Jensen Crenshaw, Kailee Gaither, Emma McInstry and Allison Phillips.

The second seeded Canton Lady Tigers ran into a roadblock on their way to a Paris Tournament title on Saturday, Sept. 15. The Lady Tigers fell to seventh seeded South Shelby Lady Cardinals 11-2. Canton led 2-0 before the Lady Cardinals went on a run and scored 11 runs sending Canton to the left side of the bracket. Finding themselves in the consolation bracket, the Lady Tigers breezed through Community R-VI 10-1 and then blanked North Shelby in the Consolation Final 9-0. Community R-VI The teams played scoreless ball through three innings before a fourth inning uprising saw Canton put up a six spot on the scoreboard. In the fourth inning, Kayla Merrell stroked a single up the middle; Berhorst added a liner over the shortstop and the Lady Tigers had runners at the corner. After Berhorst stole second, Phillips ripped a 2 double to left deep to the fence to score two more Lady Indians and give Canton an 8-0 lead. Ending the Canton scoring in the fifth in-

ning, Katie Rarick walked, stole second and scored on a passed ball third strike to Emma McKinstry, that when the dust cleared found McKinstry on second and Rarick scoring. Merrell roped a liner down the first base line for an RBI single and Canton led 10-0. Community R-VI added a harmless run in the bottom of the last inning and Canton advanced to the consolation final versus North Shelby. North Shelby Canton plated the only runs they would need in the first inning as Jensen Crenshaw singled and easily trotted home on Kayla Merrell’s long triple to the fence. Brittney Berhorst ripped an infield single and then stole second and Canton had runners on second and third. Allison Phillips lifted a long fly ball to left and Merrell scored on the RBI sacrifice fly and a 2-0 Canton lead they would never relinquish. First baseman Baalman made an over-the-shoulder running catch to end the game and Canton received the Paris tournament Consolation Trophy.

Mrs. Lorna (Pat) Butterfield Karr remembers her great-grandfather and hearing all the stories about the war when she was a young child. Her great-uncle was Gen. Daniel Butterfield who is

credited for the song Taps. Her great-grandfather, Miles Butterfield, was the person who signaled Lee’s Surrender to the Army of the Potomac at Appomattox and was also engaged in over 30 battles. - PAGE 2D & 3D

The Civil War began in 1861 and ended in 1865. Although no major battles were fought in the immediate area, several local conflicts happened and there are many interesting places in the area that are rich with Civil War history. Over 600,000 soldiers died in the war. Many Civil War veterans are buried in local cemeteries. Northeast Missouri was home to soldiers who represented the Union and the Confederacy.

Great Uncle, composer of TAPS

GENERAL DANIEL BUTTERFIELD RITA COX REPORTER rita1@lewispnj.com Lorna Elizabeth Mae (Pat) Butterfield Schramm Karr has a interesting Civil War connection. She is a direct descendant of General Daniel Butterfield, her great-uncle, is credited for composing TAPS and her grandfather, Miles Butterfield, was in 31 Battles and as a member of General Wheaton’s staff, signaled Lee’s surrender to the Army of the Potomac at Appomattox. Mrs. Karr is an active 92 year old who resides in Wisconsin. She has a friend who had relatives in LaGrange, Mo. In a telephone interview, she recalls her greatgrandfather, Miles Butterfield in her early childhood. She remembers him as being very old and the family always talking about “The War”. General Daniel Butterfield, her great-uncle, died in the early 1900s before she was born. The history of the Butterfield’s services during the Civil War is well documented in various history books and other sources, According to the website About.com, up to the Civil War, the traditional call at day’s end was a tune, borrowed from the French, called Lights Out. In July of 1862, in the aftermath of the bloody Seven Days battles, hard on the loss of 600 men and wounded himself, Union General Daniel Adams Butterfield called the brigade bugler to his tent. He thought “Lights Out” was too formal and he wished to honor his men. Oliver Wilcox Norton, the bugler, tells the story, “...showing me some notes on a staff written in pencil on the back of an envelope, (he) asked me to sound them on my bugle. I did this several times, playing the music as written. He changed it somewhat, lengthening some notes and shortening others, but retaining the melody as he first gave it to me. After getting it to his satisfaction, he directed me to sound that call for Taps thereafter in place of the regulation call. The music was beautiful on that

still summer night and was heard far beyond the limits of our Brigade. The next day I was visited by several buglers from neighboring Brigades, asking for copies of the music which I gladly furnished. The call was gradually taken up through the Army of the Potomac.” Mrs. Karr’s recollection of the family story passed down has a little unknown twist. She said a story the family always told was that General Grant would call out to his staff, which included the Butterfields, during some of the campaigns, when he wanted some whiskey brought to him, in a singing voice he would shout “Butter-field, But-ter-field”, to the tune of Taps. According to the website usmemorialday.org another story is that in July 1862, after the Seven Days battles at Harrison’s Landing (near Richmond), Virginia, the wounded Commander of the 3rd Brigade, 1st Division, V Army Corps, Army of the Potomac, General Daniel Butterfield reworked, with his bugler Oliver Wilcox Norton, another bugle call, “Scott Tattoo,” to create Taps. He thought that the regular call for Lights Out was too formal. Taps was adopted throughout the Army of the Potomac and finally confirmed by orders. Soon other Union units began using Taps, and even a few Confederate units began using it as well. After the war, Taps became an official bugle call. Col. James A. Moss, in his Officer’s Manual first published in 1911, gives an account of the initial use of Taps at a military funeral: “During the Peninsular Campaign in 1862, a soldier of Tidball’s Battery A of the 2nd Artillery was buried at a time when the battery occupied an advanced position concealed in the woods. It was unsafe to fire the customary three volleys over the grave, on account of the proximity of the enemy, and it occurred to Capt. Tidball that the sounding of Taps would be the most appropriate ceremony that could be substituted.” Other stories of the origin of Taps exist. A popular one is that of a Northern boy who was killed fighting for the south. His father, Robert Ellicombe a Captain in the Union Army, came upon his son’s body on the battlefield and found the notes to Taps in a pocket of the dead boy’s Confederate uniform. When Union General Daniel Sickles heard the story, he had the notes sounded at the boy’s funeral. There is no evidence to back up the story or the existence of Captain Ellicombe, As with many other customs, this solemn tradition continues today. Although Butterfield merely revised an earlier bugle call, his role in producing those 24 notes gives him a place in the history of music as well as the history of war.

WORDS TO TAPS There are no “official” words to Taps, but this verse is the most popular. Day is done, gone the Sun, From the hills, from the lake, From the skies. All is well, safely rest, God is nigh.

MILES BUTTERFIELD Signalled Lee surrender... Colonel Miles L. Butterfield, 1st Division 6th Army, was a member of General Wheaton’s staff. A written documentation of his war recollections, authored by Miles Butterfiled in 1904, was provided by Mrs. Pat Karr, his great-granddaughter. Miles Butterfield was born in 1837 in Ohio, moving to Indiana at a young age and then at age 18 to Waukesha, Wisc. Miles Butterfield wrote” At the breaking out of the Civil War, I enlisted in a company being raised by I.M. Bean ( called the Waukesha Union Guards) on May 10, 1861, which company was assigned to the 5th Reg’t,

MILES BUTTERFIELD... Contined from Pg. 2D fighting, the Union army endeavoring to keep between Lee and Washington. Nothing of importance occurred until the Battle of Opequon or Winchester, Sept. 9, 1864. On Sept 20, the army moved to Middletown, leaving our Battalion at Winchester to do Provo duty with Gen’l Edwards as Provost Marshal and myself as assistant.One month later, Oct. 18, Gen’l Sheridan stopped at our Headquarters on his return from Washington and the following morning made that famous ride. Was relieved from Provost duty on the arrival of Col. Allen with seven new companies from the state and reorganized the 5 Reg’t again and was then sent to the front. I remained with the Reg’t, holding school of instruction and drilling the new officers and men until Dec. 1, 1864, when the 6th corps was sent to City Point by way of Washington and Fountain Manor- arrived at City Point Dec. 6 and joined the army again at Warren’s Station the following day and went into Winter Quarters. Took part in the battle of Natchez Run, Feb. 5, 1865. I was appointed Engineer of the 1st Division, 6th Army Corps on the staff of Maj. Gen Frank Wheaton; had charge of all the works in the division front and was busily engaged until April 2, 1865, when the city of Petersburg was captured. After the surrender of Petersburg, Apr. 3, the Army of he Potomac followed the enemy, making some very hard marches on the 4th and 5th, overtaking them on the 6th when they made a stand at Little Sailor’s creek. April 7 was in the advance on the march to Farmville. On the 8th with Gen’ l Grant in the advance and received flag of truce from Gen’l Lee, asking terms of surrender. April 9 our Division led the army and was in the extreme at the time of surrender and I gave the signal of Surrender to the Army of the Potomac after the Council of Gen’ls Grant and Lee at Appomattox. On the 11th returned to Burksville Jct. 52 miles on the evening of the 12th. On the evening of the 15th received sad news of the assassination of President Lincoln, and on the 16th the notice of his death. April 23, 6th corps was ordered to Danville to head off Gen. Johnston, a march of 105 miles. Returned to Burksville Jct. May 5, 1865, and on the 17th left for Washington by way of Richmond and over some of the old Battle fields- arriving at Alexandria, camped on Nalls Hills about 1 miles from Washington, June 2, 1865.

FAMOUS CIVIL WAR HORSES During the Civil War, horses were an important part of the war. They were used by the cavalry, to move supplies and weapons, carry wounded and casualties and as personal transportation. Due to the fame of their riders many horses also were made famous. The following is a list of ten of the more famous horses according to the website history.com. Ajax: was ridden by Robert E. Lee early in the war. Ajax was returned to the farm as Lee considered the horse too big for his use. Brown Roan: another horse used by Lee early in the war. Brown Roan was considered too skittish and not up to the strains of battle. Traveler: Robert E. Lee’s favorite and most famous horse. The animal is buried at Washington and Lee University. Old Sorrel: the favorite of Stonewall Jackson. It’s skeleton is preserved at the VMI museum in Lexington. Sam: ridden by General Sherman. This fast horse was wounded several times in battle and died in 1884. Dolly: the favorite of William T. Sherman until it was stolen. Black Bess: ridden by Confederate general John Hunt Morgan Virginia: ridden by Jeb Stuart at Gettysburg Don Juan: ridden by General Custer in the Grand Review of the armies Curtis Lee: ridden by Gen.

Civil War Monument in LaGrange Washington Park

Quilt rescued from Kansas Raid RITA COX REPORTER rita1@lewispnj.com Colleen Brown of LaGrange has a quilt that is one of the artifacts that survived Quantrill’s Raid on Lawrence Kan. The town was almost totally destroyed, many homes and businesses were looted and burnt. The raid took the lives of over 150 men. The Lawrence Massacre, also know as Quantrill’s Raid was a rebel guerrilla attack during the Civil War . William Quantrill led the attack on the pro-Union town on August 21, 1863. The town was targeted due to the city’s support of abolition and its reputation as a center for Jayhawkers and Redlegs, which were free-state militia and vigilante groups known for attacking and destroying farms and plantations in Missouri’s proslavery western counties. It is believed that the Quantrill Raid was in retaliation for the Union’s attack on Oscelola, Mo., in Sept, 1861, where Osceloa was invaded and nine men court marital and executed. Several other Missouri towns and places in the Missouri countryside had been similarly plundered and burned by Unionist forces from Kanas. On August 21, 1863, Quantrill led his band of about 450 men into Lawrence, Kansas and over the course of a few hours, the town suffered major losses. Coleen Brown, who is the librarian in LaGrange, is an avid quilter. While living in Pensecola, Fla., she held quilting meetings at a local school. The custodian at that school, Mr. Peavey, would listen to the stories about restoring old quilts and gave the quilt to Ms. Brown. Peavey said the quilt had been in his family for years and it was a survivor of Quantill’s raid in Lawrence, Kan. Quantrill’s men, looted the town, taking most all of the possessions of the citizens. How the quilt managed to survive is

unknown, because the raiders took everything, and what they didn’t take was burnt. The quilt is an unknown pattern, with the colors of brown, red, and tan and beige. The material is worn in many places, especially where it had been folded. The quilt has a cotton batting, and many of the older quilts have cotton seeds in the batting. Brown pointed out a custom of quilters, which is the belief that only God is perfect, so on most quilts the maker purposely makes a mistake, such as an upside down block, or a small pattern that doesn’t exactly match the other part. Many quilters still follow that practise. Brown also recommends rolling quilts up, instead of folding to prevent wear and if it is folded, refold in a different way every so often to reduce the wear. Coleen Brown is well known for her quilting abilities. She has over 50 quilts and has made hundreds She admires their beauty and respects the history of each item.

This monument was erected in Washington Park in LaGrange in the 1800s. In 2005, the monument was rededicated.

RITA COX REPORTER rita1@lewispnj.com A monument dedicated to both the Union and Confederate soldiers stands at Washington

Park in LaGrange. The City of LaGrange approved erection of the monument Sept. 15, 1868 “to the deceased soldiers of Lewis County.” When the war was over, plans were made to bring the community back together as one. Although the monument was requested by the wives and mothers of Union soldiers, it was dedicated to all Lewis County men that lost their lives in the Civil War. There are 50 Civil War veterans buried in Riverview and Marks Cemeteries in LaGrange. In 2005, the City of LaGrange, along with the Flags for Vets committee rededicated the monument after it had been cleaned by Steven Leicht of St. Louis, representing the Sons of the Union Veterans of the Civil War, W.S. Grant Camp 368. The group said it was unusual to have a monument in a city park, most are in cemeteries or near government grounds. The monument has a limestone base and the monument is marble, which depicts a cannon barrel with a vine wreath wrapping around it, symbolizing peace. At one time the monument was taller, with some some of ornamentation on top, probably an eagle. A wrought iron fence was placed around the monument in 2005 to further preserve this historic piece of American history. A war monument dedicated to all branches of the military was funded by the Flags for Vets committee a few years ago and stands in the northwest corner of the park.
