Ashland B. Swiggett. veteran of the
civil war, and employe of the pension
office since 1868, died at his home in
Washington yesterday. Funeral services
are to be held at Lees chapel to-
morrow afternoon at 3 o'clock. Inter
ment will be in Oak Hill cemetery.
Mr.. Swiggett was brother of the late
Maj. William Y. Swiggett He was born
in Seaford, Suffolk county. Del, in 1915.
At the beginning of the civil war he
enlisted as a private in the 1st Della
ware Volunteer Infantry, the first Della
ware regiment to respond to the call for
volunteers. At the battle Of Antietam he
was severely wounded. and was later
given an honorable discharge by reason
of six wounds received in that conflict.
Lauded as Hero.
The Delaware Inquirer of Wilmington,
Del, September 81. 1862, gives the fol-
lowing account of Mr. Swiggetts &C
tons at Antietam
I'VE have a real hero in a slim, deli
cate boy, by the name of Swiggett. from
the lower part Of the state. His name
is in every Delawarean's mouth. and his
fame will be as lasting as our hills.
''On the day Of the battle. the little
fellow, with rife in hand, took his posi-
ton within a short distance Of Col. Hop
kinson, and with forty cartridges COM
menced his work Of death. The forty
cartridges gone, he replenished his stock
with thirty more, and still the Work OF
death went on around him.
"At last the other side got their eye
upon him and six bullets perforated his
body. He had nearly finished his last
supply of ammunition when he fell"
At this time in Mr.. Swiggett's life
he was helped by that man who was
the busiest Of men, and yet always
had time to help those who needed and
deserved help-Abraham Lincoln. BY q
personal recommendation Of President
Lincoln, Mr.. Swiggett was appointed to
a position in the pension office, which
office he held, with the exception of
varying intervals, up until the time OF
his death.
President Lincoln's Appeal.
The letter which President Lincoln
found time to write at this. the busiest
period of his career. reads as follows:
This young man, or rather boy. asks
a messengership. I think by the let
ters of Gov. Cannon and John w. Hous-
ton he is shown to have peculiar
claims to SO small a place. L will
thank any department or bureau who
can and will fnd it for him.
April 90 1863. A. LINCOLN"
Il was this position, given him through
the instrumentality Of President Lincoln,
that Mr.. Swiggett held until the time of
his death, with the exception Of sew
eral periods spent in various business en-
terprises.
Mr. Swiggett is survived by a sister,
Mrs. Cornelia M. Woolman of New York
city, and a nephew. Samuel A. Swiggett
Of this city.

that 1t was possible to secure under
the conditions here in Colorado.
About one month ago, the trouble
having apparently abated, the troops
were gradually withdrawn. until only
small number remained in the troubled
district ThereupoH the conditions i'm
