CHAPTER XXV.
pg. 185
MADISON COUNTY
IN THE CIVIL WAR.
On the 16th of April, 1861, four days following the
assault on Fort Sumter, Gov. Samuel J.
Kirkwood, of Iowa , received the following
telegram from Simon Cameron, secretary of
war:
"Call made on you by tonight's mail for one
regiment of militia for immediate service."
That very day the governor proclaimed to the people of
Iowa that the nation was imperilled and invoked
the aid of every loyal citizen in the state.
The telegram above alluded to was received at
Davenport. The governor was then residing
at Iowa City but there was no telegraphic
communication in those days between the two
cities.
It was important that the dispatch should reach the
eyes of the governor at once, and General
Vandever, then a civilian, volunteered to
take the message to Iowa City. The
governor was found on his farm outside the city
by the self-appointed messenger, dressed in
homespun and working in the field. Reading
the dispatch, Governor Kirkwood expressed
extreme surprise and exclaimed: "Why, the
President wants a whole regiment of men?
Do you suppose I can raise so many as that,
Mr. Vandever?" When ten Iowa regiments
were offered a few days later the question was
answered.
IOWA RALLIES
TO THE COLORS
"Whether in the promptitude of her responses to
the calls made on her by the general government,
in the courage and constancy of her soldiery in
the field,” said Col. A. P. Wood, of
Dubuque, upon one occasion, “or in the wisdom
and efficiency with which her civil adminstration
was conducted during the trying period covered
by the War of the Rebellion, Iowa proved herself
the peer of any loyal state. The
proclamation of her governor, Samuel J.
Kirkwood, responsive to that of the
President calling for volunteers to compose her
first regiment, was issued on the fourth day
after the fall of Sumter. At the end of
only a single week men enough were reported to
be in quarters (mostly in the vicinity of their
own homes) to fill the regiment. These,
however, were hardly more than a tithe of the
number who had been offered by company
commanders for acceptance under the President's
call. So urgent were these offers that the
governor requested on the 24th of April
permission to organize an additional regiment.
While awaiting the answer to this request he
conditionally accepted a sufficient number of
companies to compose two additional regiments.
In a short time he was notified that both of
these would be accepted. Soon after the
completion of the second and third regiments,
which was near the close of May, the adjutant
general of the
Page 186 -
state reported that upward of one hundred and
seventy companies had been tendered to the
governor to serve against the enemies of the
Union.
"Much difficulty and considerable delay occurred in
fitting these regiments for the field. For
the First Infantry a complete outfit - not
uniform - of clothing was extemporized,
principally by the volunteered labor of loyal
women in the different towns, from material of
various colors and qualities obtained within the
limits of the state. The same was done in
part for the Second Infantry. Meantime, an
extra session of the General Assembly had been
called by the governor to convene on May 15th.
With but little delay that body authorized a
loan of $800,000 to meet the extraordinary
expenses incurred and to be incurred by the of
the state, ex-Governor Merrill, then a resident
of McGregor - immediately took from the governor
a contract to supply a complete outfit of
clothing for the three regiments organized,
agreeing to receive, should the governor so
elect, his pay therefor in state bonds at par.
This contract he executed to the letter, and a
portion of the clothing which was manufactured
in Boston to his order, was delivered at Keokuk,
the place at which the troops had rendezvoused,
in exactly one month from the day on which the
contract had been entered into. The
remainder arrived only a few days later.
This clothing was delivered to the regiments but
was subsequently condemned by the Government for
the reason that its color was gray, and blue had
keen adopted as the color to be worn by national
troops.
MADISON
COUNTY ALIVE TO THE SITUATION.
The news soon reached Winterset that the
Southern states were in rebellion and that the
flag had been insulted at Charleston, South
Carolina. Although fully advised of the
spirit manifested by Southern leaders the people
were not prepared to realize the danger menacing
free institutions of the Republic and were
astounded and horrified when the real situation
arose and confronted them. But almost
every man and woman in Madison County loved and
revered the Union and rallied at the first call,
to express their sentiments. Mass meetings
from this on were the order of the day and
night, and but little time was lost before
action was taken. At one of these
meetings, held on Apr. 24, 1861, at the
Christian Church, in Winterset, a large
assemblage of people met in the house of worship
and was presided over by Dr. D B. Allen;
John J. Davies acted as secretary.
The object of the meeting was to discuss the
ominous situation of the country and to
ascertain how many persons in the county were
willing to join a military company, or
companies, for home protection, and a committee
of ten was appointed for the purpose of securing
the names of those desiring to become members of
the proposed companies. That committee was
composed of the following named persons:
L. D. Karns, L. N. Clark, William L. Leonard,
A. Hood, N. Garretson, H. C. Carter, Frederick
Mott, William Shannon, J. W. Holbrook, J W.
and C. Gaskill.
It was the sense of
the meeting that both the cavalry adn infantry
company should be organized, and that as their
formation would be for home protection the
citizens should furnish the enlisted men with
arms. Thereupon, the Madison County Raners,
a cavalry company, was organized and the
patriotic citizens, signing their names that
evening to the rolls of the cavalry company
were: J. I. Denman, J. M. Lambert, E. W.
Evans, D. D. Davisson, C. A. Gaskill, H. C.
Page 187 -
Carter, G. M. Rutledge, H. M. Porter, B. M.
Bixby, William Reynolds, Samuel Conigan, Butler
Bird, W. C. Newlon.
An infantry company was also formed and assumed the
name of the Winterset Guards. Its muster
roll showed the following names:
O. C. Ayres,
S. G. Beckwith,
D. W. Burnett,
G. W. Betts,
J. W. Craven,
F. M. Cassidy,
H. C. Farnsworth,
M. Foster,
B. C. Howell,
N. A. Harlana,
W. M. Jenkins,
J. W. Kirk,
B. F. Murray,

The "Rangers" met on the evening of the 26th and
selected these officers:
Captain D. D. Davisson; first lieutenant,
G. M. Rutledge; second lieutenant,
Butler Bird; Third lieutenant, B. F.
Bixby; orderly sergeant, H. C.
Carter. The men joining the "Rangers"
were required to furnish themselves with a horse
and saddle "and such arms as each might obtain."
And the object of the organization by the
records, was to "defend the citizens and
property of Madison County when the contingency
might require it" This was the first
military company organized in Madison County.
Other warlike movements on the part of the citizens
took place, one closely upon the other, and a
few of them will be related in order to show the
spirit and feelings of the people at that time
of national travail. On Apr 27, 1861,
S. G. Beckwith and Jesse R. Lambert
announced the receipt of their commissions from
the adjutant general of the state, to organize a
company of volunteers "in this senatorial
district." At the close of this
announcement the newly made officials sent out
this appeal. "Let not the young men of our
district be slow in responding to the all of
their country in a time of danger." To
encourage others it was reported that S. B.
Beckwith, Jesse R. Lambert, Butler Bird, William
L. Leonard, James McCleary, William C. Newlon
and B. F. Murray had already
volunteered.
On Apr. 27, 1861, the following call was issued:
"The people of Madison County, in favor of
sustaining the Government in its endeavors to
maintain and preserve the Union in its present
crisis, are requested to meet at Winterset on
Saturday, May 4, 1861, at 1 P. M., for the
purpose of giving expression to their views as
American citizens. Signed, Albert West,
M. L. McPherson, M. Glazebrook, L. S. Garrett,
A. Hood, Cal Ballard, C. D. Bevington, John
Leonard, H. J. B. Cummings, Samuel Hamilton, L.
Mayo, J. J. Davies, W. L. Hart, D. D. Davisson,
N. Garretson, I. L. Tidrick, John McLeod,
William Compton, J. W. Moody, J. A. Pitzer, D.
B. Allen, W. L. Leonard, L. M. Tidrick, J. F.
Brock.
At St. Charles, May
1, 1861, a large and enthusiastic war meeting
was held; a Union pole was raised and a
beautiful large flag, made and presented by the
ladies of that neighborhood, was run up to the
breeze. The occasion was enlivened by
music from the Indianola Brass Band and Union
speeches were made by Dr. William L. Leonard,
of Winterset, and Lewis Todhunter, of
Indianola. "Ringing patriotic resolutions
were adopted."
Great excitement prevailed throughout the county and
war with the South was the exclusive subject of
general conversation. Those opposed to the
prosecu-
Page 188 -
tion of the war kept their views to themselves,
while in public places, for the danger of
violence was imminent.
On May 1, 1861, Elder A. Bradfield, of the
Winterset Christian Church, delivered an ultra
patriotic sermon in favor of the war for the
Union. Other local ministers were equally
patriotic in the pulpit.
The following extracts from the Madisonian are matters
of local history and should be of more than
ordinary interest to the present and future
generations, if not of the past: A
detachment of regular soldiers from Fort
Randall, Dakota Territory, on their way to the
seat of war passed through Winterset May 4th.
They were entertained by the citizens and given
a hearty reception. May 18th, the Clinton
Guards of this county met for organization and
elected the following officers: Captain,
R. A. Stitt; first lieutenant, E.
H. Venard; second lieutenant W. T.
Shelburn; ensign, James Brinson;
first sergeant, Jacob Hyskill. The
company numbered forty-four men. They
proposed to uniform themselves forthwith and
report to the Government.
About May 20th sixty stands of arms passed through
Winterset for Page County, which was threatened
with attack by rebels from Gentry County,
Missouri.
Before May 25th "Madison County Guards," of Winterset,
had disbanded, by reason of internal
disagreement, and another organization was
perfected which took the name of the "Union
Zouaves." This organization was officered
by H. J. B. Cummings, captain; John R.
Nichol, first lieutenant; J. R. Lambert,
second lieutenant; J. M. Andrews, third
lieutenant; L.N. Clark, first sergeant;
J. S. Goshorn, second sergeant; W. P.
Hastings, third sergeant; S. Pitzer,
fourth sergeant; John Stiffler, fifth
sergeant; J. W> Burnett, E. A. Huber, J. M.
Holaday, E. C. Ward, corporals. The
privates were Frederick Mott, J. J. Davies,
C. P. Lee, R. Bain, C. Danforth, J. D. Williams,
C. Armbreast, A Nosler, B. F. Murray, John
Hinkle, E. W. Reynolds, T. M. Stiffler, G. S.
Stiffler, Marion Cassiday, J. P. Wallace,
and J. S. White.
May 25th, another
company was due to be organized, which styled
itself "The Silver Grays," and was composed of
men over thirty years of age.
June 27th Capt. P. Gad Bryan, of Indianola, made
a stirring speech at the Christian Church, in
the effort to secure recruits, for his cavalry
company. He made an impressive address
which was followed by M. L. McPherson, of
Winterset. At the conclusion, the
following Madison County men were enlisted:
J. R. Lambert, W. R. Shriver, C. Tibbles, D.
W. Burnett, T. M. Stiffler, John Fauroute, J. D.
Jenks, E. S. Ewing, Milton Carter, J. H. Bird,
D. D. Burnett, G. Tibbles, John H. Williams,
and Butler Bird.
During the latter
part of April a company had been organized in
Madison Township of which William E. Clampitt,
a Mexican war veteran, was captain. This
military organization was the subject of much
reckless talk for some time, as the loyalty of
certain of its members was much questioned, and
was strongly defended by Captain Clampitt.
June 29th E. S. Ewing, of Winterset,
advertised for cavalry horses. The
owners were asked to give a credit for six
months to volunteers with approved security.
He didn't secure many.
July 13th Capt.
H. J. B. Cummings' Company G, Fourth Iowa
Regiment, started for its rendezvous at Council
Bluffs. Their departure was one of the
Page 189 -
saddest affairs that ever occurred in the
County. Probably every eye that witnessed
the scene was blinded by tears. Not even
the most indifferent or hardened person withheld
his emotions. It was never forgotten by
any one present.
Previous to the departure of Company G, on July 12th,
the ladies in and near Winterset gave a festival
supper to the company. It was one worthy
of the ladies and the occasion. After the
soldiers had eaten their fill there was an
abundance for the citizens present. At
this festival the ladies presented the company
with a beautiful flag. Miss Geraldine
Squire made the presentation address and the
response was by the captain, H. J. B.
Cummings.
Aug. 31, Lieut.
J. D. Jenks, and Serg. Jesse R. Lambert,
of Bryan's Cavalry, were home on a few days
leave of absence. On their return the
following recruits went with them: William O.
Ludlow, Joseph Reynolds, Edward Marlow, Matthew
Wilkins, Mr. McCandless and "Curley Joe."
September 1st the
board of supervisors appropriated $150 out of
the county funds, for the benefit of the
families of volunteers of Madison County, who
were left in destitute circumstances by reason
of such enlistments, if there should be any.
The above excerpts, which were scattered hither and
yon, throughout the various issues of the
Madisonian during the stirring year of 1861,
give a good portrayal of the things that most
interested the people in Madison County at that
time. Many such events occurred before the
close of hostilities between the North and the
South. It certainly would be interesting
reading, to many, to give a full relation of the
local war time incidents, but space will not
permit. However, Madison County did her
part, faithfully and well, in putting down
rebellion and upholding the glory and integrity
of republican institutions. The county was
represented in a number of different regimental
organizations and furnished 710 men to the ranks
of the Union army, which was in excess of her
quota. The commissioned officers from
Madison County in that great conflict were as

ROLL OF
HONOR.
The roster of names which follows is taken
from the latest reports prepared in the office
of the adjutant general of the State of Iowa ,
and it may be said to be complete and correct.
In looking over the roster as published in the
history of Madison County of 1879, quite a
number of names were omitted and some
misspelled. It has been sought in this
endeavor to avoid errors and not omit the name
of one worthy to appear in this roll. But
when the attempt is made to publish the name of
every person from Madison County who served in
the Civil war , it is practically impossible, as
there were many who enlisted while away from
home in regiments belonging to other states.
However, insofar as unremitting efforts on the
part of the adjutant general's office are
concerned, the roster of Madison County's heroes
should be considered intact:

THE
SOLDIER'S MONUMENT.
Madison
County's people were among the very firt in the
whole United States to erect a monument to the
soldier dead. The first suggestion for
such a movement appeared in the columns of the
Madisonian from one of its correspondents, but
the County Agricultural Society took the initial
step in furthering the project when, at a
meeting held by its officials in October, 1865,
a "soldiers' monument committee" was organized,
consisting of H. J. B. Cummings,
president; Flora Winkly, secretary; J.
J. Davies, treasurer; together with E. W.
Fuller, Mrs. Mary A. Hutchings, and
Miss Emma McCaughan, executive committee.
Sub-committees were appointed in each township
whose duty it was to solicit contributions for
the memorial shaft. Festivals, lectures
and exhibitions were given in Winterset and in
other localities during the winters of 1865 and
1866 to secure funds for the project, not to
mention school exhibitions and various other
plans. The board of supervisors donated
the old courthouse and jail lots, and when the
jail lot was sold and another lot purchased
adjoining the courthouse lot, a site for the
monument had been secured.
On July 28, 1865, the officers of the Fair Association
announced that they had set apart a portion of
their grounds for the display and sale of
articles to secure funds with which to build the
monument. At the time A. J. Adkinson
was president of the association and J. J.
Davies, secretary. The free department
thus donated was placed in charge of H. J. B.
Cummings, M. R. Tidrick, S. G. Ruby, Miss
Charity Lothrop, Mrs. J. J. Hutchings and
Mrs. D. N. Elliott. The following
township committees were appointed to solicit
funds and adopt other means for securing money
to build the monument:

On the
18th day of November, the monument committee met
and "Resolved that a marble be erected on the
Public Square in some locality not to interfere
with the new courthouse, the monument to be not
less than twenty-five feet high and to bear an
inscription of names of all deceased soldiers
who were residents of the county at date of
enlistment, or who have died from results of
service in the war." The estimated amount
to be expended on the monument was $2,500, and
at this time about seven hundred dollars of the
amount had been subscribed.
At a meeting of the general committee, held on July 28,
1866, it was proposed to build a two-story
structure having a hall with marble slabs, or
tablets, inserted in the wall, whereon should be
inscribed the names of deceased soldiers instead
of the monument. However, the sentiment
for a monument eventually prevailed, and there
stands today in the little plot of ground known
as Monument Park, on the corner of Court and
Second streets, a neat shaft twenty feet high,
having a base of native stone, surmounted by a
marble column; suitably inscribed on its faces
are the names ofa Madison County's Civil war
heroes, and it was dedicated to their memory
forever. The dedication took place Oct. 7,
1867, upon which occasion Hon. M. L.
McPherson, then the leading lawyer of this
part of the state, and Dr. William L. Leonard
delivered orations, commemorative of the event.
It should be added that the monument is guarded
at each corner by field piece used in the war
for the preservation of the Union.
