MILITARY HISTORY OF
WINNESHIEK COUNTY.

The military history of Winneshiek
county is replete with thrilling and
interesting anecdotes and in the
brief space at our command we quote
the most prominent features of pub
lie interest.
April 20, 1861, six days after the
firing of Fort Sumter, meeting of
patriotic citizens was held at the
court house. Capt. John H. Simpson
acted as chairman, he having COM
manded the first military company
ever organized in DEBORAH, coming
here in 1850 and being elected Cap
tain of the DEBORAH Guards in 1859.
The result of the meeting was the re-
organization of the DEBORAH Guards,
and when mustered into service be-
came Co. d, Third Iowa Volunteers.
The officers were: Captain, G. r.
Willett; First Lieutenant, E. I.
Weiser; Second Lieutenant, Ole A.

Murtrie; Third Sergeant, c. w. Bur-
dick; Fourth Sergeant, Robert Ray:
First Corporal, f. Nj. Farnsworth;
Second Corporal, Milton Ross; Third
Corporal, Charles p. Brown; Fourth
Corporal, Joseph S. Neff. They were
mustered into service at Keokuk,
Iowa, June 10, 1861. Their depar-
ture was the occasion for memoir
able farewell gathering on the court
house square, where they were pre-
sented with beautiful flag by Miss
Carrie McNair, who afterwards be-
came a nurse in the soldiers hos
pital at st. Louis. Their first hard
fought battle was at Blue Mills.
Sept. z, 1861, where the Unionists
were driven back. VIM. B. Miller
was killed, and Capt. Willett, Lieu
tenant Anderson and Private VIM.
B. Heckert seriously wounded. Capt,
Willett then resigned, and Lieut.. f..
]. Weiser was promoted to the cap
taincy. Lieut.. Anderson fell, wound
in the temple, and was left on the
field for dead. His body was nearly
all stripped of clothing, and he was
robbed of everything by the rebels.
His body was reclaimed after the
rebels retreated the next day, and he
lay unconscious for three weeks, and
came home a long time afterwards,
a physical wreck, but is still alive,
honored and respected by everyone;
he never recovered from the effects
of the wound. The next great con-
fiict in which they participated was
the Battle of Shiloh, April and Z,
1862. Here Edward Knapp, Hans

carefully after the fitting, and, with
thread of contrasting color, trace a line
OF basting threads on the waist at the
upper edge of the girdle and on the skirt
at the girdle's lower line; then remove
the fitted girdle.
Finishing Skirt and Waist
Do this before making any of the
needed alterations IN the waist, so the
waist and skirt may be once more di-
vided into two pieces and more easily
handled. A seams width inside the
traced line, run line OF gathers at the
sides and back of the skirt, and the front
and back OF the waist. Finish the seams
of waist and skirt, but leave the placing
of the collar, the back closing and the
bottom of the skirt until after the girdle
is adjusted.
If the girdle is to be attached to a
lining, stitch the seams of the lining
press them open and stitch the feather
bone at each seam, cutting the feather
bone three-ejghths OF an inch shorter
than the girdle at each edge, in order to
permit the material to be turned over the
end OF the bone. If the girdle is 10 be
