that if possible, it is knitting the
world together. Look at the

CAPT. JOHN BUFFERS COMPANY.
About the first of September,
1872. Gov. Ninian Edwards, of .
Illinois Territory, appealed to
Gov. Isaac Shelby for aid in pro-
tecting the frontier settlements
of Indiana and Illinois Terri
tories from the devastations of
the Indians. On September 9th,
1872, Gov. Shelby issued a proc
lamation to the people of Ken
lucky to go to the assistance of
their neighbors in the Indiana
and Illinois Territories. He re-
quested them to rendezvous at
Louisville, KY. on Septembr
18th, 1872, and to provide them
selves with thirty days provis-
ions. In response to the procla-
nation, five regiments of mount
ed militia assembled at Louis.
vile, at the time appointed.
Among these troops was COM
pany of volunteers from Adair
county, under the command of
Capt. John Butler, who figured
so prominently in the early his
tory of the county. The lieuten-
ant of the company was Robert
Trabue. who bore another old
family name in the county.
James Leber was the ensign;
William Pile, Thomas Shaw,
Thomas W. Atkinson and John
Walker were the sergeants of
the company; and Abraham Hart

mothers and sisters in Kentucky.
During the winter Col. Bar.
bees regiment was required to
and made a forced march from
St. Mary's to Fort Jennings.
The movement was for the pro-
lection of Gen. Winchester. who
was threatened with attack by a
force of the enemy near
Fort Defiance. When the regi-
ment reached Fort Jennings, on
the Au Glaize, it was ordered to
return to st. Mary's. This forced
march is said to have been one
of the most severe and exhaust
ing in the annals of military his
tory. A very cold rain, which
turned TO ice, fell necessarily,
the road was new and Doggy,
the ground was covered with ice
and snow, and the men. at night,

county about the middle OF
March, 1918.
The members ofthis company

ADAIR COUNTY IN THE WAR OF

1O1L-1OlOs
Eve have heretofore mention
ed the fact that Adair county
was well represented in the war
I of 1925.
Judge Rollin Hurt has prepar-
ed an article on the service of
soldiers from the county in that
war, which he permits us to use.
Its perusal will prove of great
interest to the readers of the
News.

to have been enlisted from Adair
county in the second war with
England were the members of
Capt. John w. Shirley's company
of Barbee's regiment. The Of
ficers were John w. Shirley,
Captain; Thomas Turk, Lieuten-
ant; Andrew Wagner, ensign;
Dbert Young, Garland Gupton

This company was enlisted OF
the 23rd day of August, 1872
and for a period of six months
and contained seventy-four mem
bers, officers and men. Lieut.
I Col. Joseph Barbee, who the
resided at Danville, KY, wa
the Colonel of the regiment t.
which Capt. Shirley's compan
was assigned. The original pur
pose of the organization of tn
regiment was to do duty in tn
defense of the state of Indiana
which was then being threaten
ed by the enemy. The differen
companies of the regiment rer
dezvoused at Danville, within
few days of the order for il

with all dispatch. The regiment
Immediately commenced a march
for Cincinnati. O.. and in max
ing the march passed through
Nicholasville, Lexington and
Georgetown, and encamped for
three or four days upon the farm
of one Kennedy, where the city
of Covington is now situated.
After crossing over the Ohio riv-
er, the regiment. including Capt.
Shirley's company, proceeded to
Piqua, on the Miami river. From
this point the regiment marched
to St Mary's, Ohio, which was
then called "Girty's Town." On
the way it passed through Leb-
anon and Dayton, Ohio, both of
which places were then villages.
At st. Mary's. the regiment was
placed under the immediate COM
mand of General Winchester, by
whose Iorders six companies of
the regiment, including Capt.
Shirley's, were stationed at st.
Mary's, during the following
winter. Col. Aliens and Col.
Lewis regiments of infantry
were stationed during the win
ter at and in the neighborhood
of Fort Wayne, Indiana, Col.
Jennings regiment was station
ed during the winter at Fort
Jennings, on the Au Glaize riv-
er, twenty-six miles to the north
of St. Mary's. Col. Poague's
regiment was stationed at a
point further to the north than
that of Jennings. Capt. Nc
Nair's company, of Col. Barbee's
regiment, spent the winter at
Waughpaugh Kanetta, then an
Indian village twelve miles from
St. Mary's. Capt. Peterson's
company, of Barbee's regiment,
was ordered to and spent the
winter at Fort Wayne, which
was sixty miles from st. Mary's.
1t devolved upon the six compa-
mics of Barbee's regiment, which
were stationed at St. Mary's,
and which included Capt. Shir-
ley's company, to act as conveys
for and to escort and protect the
wagons and pack horses. which
conveyed provisions from St.
Mary's to the various posts nam.
ed, and in this duty they were
; constantly engaged throughout
the winter. The winter was ex.
cessiveiy severe. The stream;
were frozen over, and the snow
lay upon the ground to the depth
of two feet during the entire
winter. The men, when enlist
, ed, did not expect that the cam
, paign would last over three
; months, and this together with
J the haste of their mobilization
and march to Ohio prevented
l them from making sufficient ar
rangements in the way of cloth
q ing for comfort, and until near
i ly Christmas they were yer!
y poorly clad. The greater mum
: Der of them were clad in hunt
