JOIN, Ho1lo,Day Got
the Dispatch Thru

An interesting fragment OF civil war
history. in which John W. Holloway.
a Webster City veteran who died at
the soldiers home Thursday figured.
was made public following his death.
and illustrates how persons unknown
may come to know one another thru
a mutual friend.
John w. Holloway served in the
Ninth Ohio cavalry, which was brigad-
ed during the closing months OF the
war with the Tenth Ohio cavalry. In
Company c, OF this latter regiment
served Thomas Ramsey and w. =.
Thompson, the latter now member OF
the home. The two regiments were
part Of the cavalry that served under
General fitzpatrick, in command OF the
calvary corps that accompanied Cen
eral Sherman on the march to the sea
and thru the carolinas in the winter
Of '64-5 and the following spring.
Thomas Ramsey. who was cousin
Of w. T. Thompson, was an orderly io1
General Fitzpatrick. When Sherman
army was in South Carolina during
February Of IS. Ramsey was sent win
a dispatch from General fitzpatrick 10
General Sherman. He was accompah-
led by an escort of four or FIVE men.
The distance to be Travelled was snort
and the start was made In the night.
While on their way to sherman
headquarters the detail was captured
and searched in the darkness. HOBO
way was one Of the first OF the
detail to be searched and papers were
found upon him and as Ramsey was
being searched he passed the d1spatcn
he carried to Holloway. who was seand-
ing beside him. Later in the nlsnt
Holloway made his escape and deliv-
cred the dispatch to General Snef-
man. Ramsey was taken to prison.
A year or so after the war Ramsey
told Thompson Of the incident OF the
capture, but said he never knew to
whom he gave the dispatch or whether
it was carried thru.
Some time before his death Hollo-
way repeated practically the same IN
cident to Thompson, telling him tha'
he. Holloway, had carried the dls-
patch to Sherman. but that he did not
know who the orderly was who had
handed the message to him in the dark.
, THOMPSON was able to tell him and
supply the missing link in the story
from what Ramsey had told him years
| ago. Thompson, when he repeated the
story yesterday, did not know whethef
Ramsey was living or not.
! Holloway's body was sent to webster
/ City Friday night for burial.
