and was chosen First Lieutenant
Of the company, his close friend,
A phonzo Barto being captain, and
they served together for the ensuing
three years. The regiment was AS
signed to the army of the Tennessee,
and certainly his term of service WAS
highly honorable and arduous. He
participated in the following battles:
IT. Donaldson, Shiloh, COrin.h, Iuka,
Hatcuer, Town Creek, Resaca, Snake
Creek Gap, Lays Ferry, Rome Gross
Roads, Dallas, Cotton Cross Roads,
Kenesaw, Decatur, Atlanta, Lovejuy's
Station, Jonesboro, Altoona, Benton
vile, Savannah, and 9th rs, participant
ing in all of Sherman's famous march
10 the sea.
He was mustered out at Rome, Ca
in October, 1864, after almost continu-
GUS service of three years and a half.
No soldier of that great war ever rem
dered more devoted service, or was
more modest in referring to it. He
was member of the Grand Army of
the Republic and at one time of B. r.
Palmer Post of this city. ...... -.
At the close of his term of service,
he returned to Geneva, ILL.,. and the
following month, November 80, 1864,
he married May E. Bradley at Geneva
Lake, Wis, she surviving him. He
made trip to Minnesota soon after,
and also went south on a prospecting
trip. but finally settled on farm near
Sparta, Wis, where he resided for
three years, and came to Minnesota
in 1868, and purchased the farm about
four miles north of Sank Centre, upon
which he died. He, however, sold the
property to his uncle, Aaron Doty,
and repurchased it about four years
ago. He removed to Sank Centre, and
for more than twenty years was an
officer of the, peace, holding the po-
sition of village marshal and deputy
sheriff, for several years both Offices at
one time. He served as deputy sheriff
under the administrations of Mickey,
Kramer, McKelvey and Hammered,
for several years having practically
charge of the sherifr's Office IN St.
Cloud, occupying the sheriff's quar-
ters with his family. About four
years ago he resigned and removed
with his family to his farm which he
had been for some time improving,
by building good residence and
barns before returning from st. Cloud.
1t has been his pleasure and pride to
make the farm all that could be de-
sired, and It's beautiful location lent a
charm to the place, and a peculiarly
melancholy feature of his death lies in
the fact that he was taken away just as
he had begun, torealize his ambition
that of building up an attractive home
for his loved ones.
Mr.. Doty was made q Mason at &C.
neva, ILL.,, in 1861, and for twenty
years and more was an active member
of the Star of the West Lodge, and
