SHELBY COUNTY BOYS
At Battle of Stone River - The List Herewith
------------
Company F., 51st Indiana Regiment, claims the loss of the first man killed in that battle, he being George Holbrook of this county.
Two regiments including Co. F., 51st Indiana, crossed Stone river December 30th, 1862, and ascended the hill on the opposite side about sundown, where they ran up against General Brenckenridge's whole corps in rifle pits. At this point Holbrook was killed.
The battle continued until about 10 o'clock that night when the Union soldiers retreated across Stone river. On the 30th, light skirmishes continued on either side.
On the morning of the 31st the rebels attacked the Union soldiers right and terrific fighting continued throughout the day. The Thirteenth Michigan finally saving the day to the Union soldiers.
On the next day January the first, there was but little fighting and on the second the rebels fiercely attacked the Union left but were finally driven back, the enemy retreating to Tullahoma, Tennessee. The losses on each side amounted to many thousands and although won by the Union forces, it was at heavy cost of life. Johnson's brigade and a brigade under Col. Willich, and fifty-two pieces of artillery were captured during this battle.
General Garshe's head was shot off by a cannon ball on the 31st, while at the side of General Rosencrans. He was Rosencrans' chief of staff. The battle of Stone river was the first after Lincoln's proclaimation, freeing the slaves, took effect.

Memorial Day, May 1899
Submitted by Janet FranklinDo you know what it means, you boys and girls
Who hail from the North and the South!
Do you know what it means
This twining for greens
Round the silent cannon's mouth;
This strewing with flowers the grass-grown grave;
This decking with garlands the statues brave;
This planting of flags,
All in tatters and rags;
This marching and singing,
These bells all a-ringing;
These faces grave and those faces gay;
This talk of the Blue and this talk of the Gray
In the North and the South, Memorial Day.
Not simply a show-time, boys and girls,
In this day of falling flowers,
Not a pageant or play,
Nor a holiday
Of flags and floral bowers;
It is something more than the day that starts,
War-memories a throb in veteran hearts;
For across the years,
To the hopes and the fears,
To the days of battle,
Of roar and rattle--
To the Past that now seems so far away,
Do the sons of the Blue and the sons of the Gray
Gaze-hand clasping hand-- Memorial Day,
For the wreck and the wrong of it boys and girls,
For the terror and loss as well,
Our hearts must hold
A regret untold
As we think of those who fell.
But their blood, on which ever side they fought,
Remade the Nation, and Progress wrought.
We forget the woe;
For we live and know
That the fighting and the sighing,
The fall and the dying,
Were but steps toward the Future--the Martyr's Way!
Adown which the sons of the Blue and the Gray
Look, with love and with pride, Memorial Day.

SOLDIERS REUNION
------------------
Survivors of Company G. Third Indiana
Calvary Spend a Pleasant Fourth
------------------
A number of the survivors of Company G. Third Indiana Cavalry met at the home of Henry K. Dunkle, at Mt. Auburn, Shelby county, to celebrate the Fourth of July by a reunion of a few of his comrades. It was a grand success in every respect. The membersof the company present were the following: John Rubush and daughter, of Edinburg; John E. Dupree, wife and daughter, of Edinburg; Horace Weaver and wife, of New Palestine; Joel Williams and wife, of Whiteland; Joseph Waggoner and wife, of Indianapolis; Charles Racker and wife, of Franklin; Robert Fitspatrick, of Whiteland; Rufus Sweetzer, of Bluff Creek; Mrs. Lucinda Rubush, and daughter, of Edinburg. Mrs. Rubush is the widow of Lima Rubush, a former member
of the company. There were also present neighbors and friends that came by invitation to help celebrate and enjoy the reunion of these old soldiers, among them being Uncle Lewis Mullendore and wife, Tobias Nulakin and wife, Asbury Richardson and wife, all of near Franklin; H. B. Fisk, wife and family, James Barlow and family, Mrs. G. F. Conover and mother, Miss Minnie Treon, Mrs. Malissa Barlow and daughter and a number of young people of near Mt. Auburn to about the number of fifty. It is impossible to describe the splendid tables loaded with every delicacy of the season, prepared and arranged as only such fine cooks as Mrs. Dunkle and her two daughters, Misses Eliza and Susie, can do. The soldiers and their wives ate at the first table with a number of the most attentive and will waiters in attendance.

[The preceding paragraphs detail the resolution
of and the reprecussions from Sugar Creek Township's decision to join the Southern Confederacy, if the "one
grand confederacy ... must divide".]
There were no further attempts to hold Union meetings
in Shelby County for some time, and things drifted along in this manner until the firing on Fort Sumter brought
about the crisis. Nothing can well exceed the excitement occasioned by that first act of the rebellion. Public
meetings were held in most of the villages and hamlets throughout the North, at which speeches were made and resolutions
passed, denouncing the secession movement in unmeasured terms. The President's call for 75,000 volunteers
was responded to with alacrity. No portion of the country was more prompt in stepping forward in defense
of the Union than was Shelby County. In less than a week two full companies were organized and ready for
the field, and five others were nearly completed. One of these was accepted by the authorities at Indianapolis,
and was assigned the position of C, in the Seventh Regiment, three months' volunteers. It was mustered into
service on the 22nd of April, with John M. Blair, as Captain; John M. Flynn, 1st Lieutenant;
and John C. Maze, 2nd Lieutenant. From the Volunteer
of April 25, 1861, the following account of the departure of that company is taken:
"On Sabbath afternoon last, Johnson's Hall was
filled to overflowing with citizens to witness the presentation of the elegant flag (purchased by the patriotic
ladies of Shelbyville) to the first company of volunteers from this county, under the command of Capt. John M.
Blair. The ceremonies were of an impressive and entertaining character. ORDER OF EXERCISES:
First ---- Prayer, by Rev. Mr. Lynch; Second ---- Song, 'America;' Third
---- Addresses, by Revs. Montgomery, Smythe, Kent and Lynch; Fourth
---- Presentation of a copy of the Bible to each of the officers, and a copy of the Testament to each volunteer.
The Bible and Testaments were presented by the American Bible Society, and a full copy of the Bible would have
been given each soldier had the agency at this place had a sufficient number on hand; Fifth ---- Presentation
of flag. Misses Annie Green, Laurie Sprague and Fannie Robins, in behalf
of the lady donors, came forward and presented the elegant flag procured for the occasion as a gratuity of their
zeal for the cause in which their countrymen were about to engage. Miss Green said:
"Captain Blair and Gentlemen of the Company:
In behalf of the ladies of Shelbyville, I present you this flag --- the flag of our country --- as a memento
of the past, the emblem of our happiness and greatness, and the hope of our future. The history of the world
teaches us that liberty has ever been assailed, has ever been struggling for her rights, but has never been conquered.
When the Roman Empire became enervated by the luxuries and licentiousness of her people, and despotism erected
a throne upon her ruins, then liberty was enshrouded in the dark mantle of oppression and wrong. But amid
all the struggles of mankind for their liberties, noble and patriotic fathers, husbands, brothers and sons have
bared their manly breasts to the blows of her enemies, in defense of their rights. And when fallen --- as
many have, and may again in defense of this flag ---- the soldier's grave and the soldier's monument, are the fondest
legacies of a nation, honored by historians and poets ---- the theme and pride of generations. Who would
blot from Grecian history her Thermopylae, or the fame of Alexander, who wept on the shores of the Indian Ocean
because there were no more worlds to conquer; from Rome her hundred unparalleled vicotries ---- the fame of her
Pompeys, her Scipios and her Caesars; from France her tragic victories on the Rhine and the fame of her Napoleon
at whose victorious tread the whole continent trembeld; from England her Waterloo, her Nelson and her Wellington;
from America the glorious deeds of Bunker Hill, Yorktown, Lunday's Lane, battle of Lake Erie and defense of Fort
Sumter? Who would forget her warriors --- her Wahington, her Marion,her Knox, her Greene, her Jackson, her Scott,
or her Major Anderson? Is there one who wold sully these bright achievements of our country or dishonor the
glorious old flag of our Union? Alas! there comes a voice from the land of Marion, of Green, of Knox,
and lastly, and most mornful of all, from the land of Washington, uttered by degenerate sons thereof, whose hightest
aim is their country's dishonor, boastingly answering, YES. But here is a bright oasis in the desert of degeneracy.
Scarcely has the echo of that voice died away, ere that banner is lifted aloft by proud and patriotic hands,
and around its standard are gathered the bravest and noblest of the land, to defend and protect it from rising
in the strength and majesty of a nation to repel the invasion of a traitorous foe, and to vindicate our nation's
honor, bear it proudly, guard it will, defend it nobly and
Let your motto be 'Victory or death!' And may this flad with its stars and stripes, never be trailed in the dust, but'In the dark and trying hour,
'In the breaking forth of power,
'In the rush of steeds and men,
'God's right hand will shield thee then.'
'O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave."
"To the liberal and patriotic ladies of Shelbyville, allow me, and in behalf of my fellow soldiers', to express our warmest gratitude for this noble Banner, Speaking is not the soldiers' province. Rather is it their duty to defend that right, when the voice is raised in behalf of the Union and Constitution, but to crush it out when uttered by unworthy men against the Constitution and that glorious old Banner, which has so often waved over many a hard fought battle-field, and never yet been struck at half mast until assailed by the traitorous hands of its own countrymen. We accept this noble and generous gift, and with it, the motto suggested by the fair donors, 'Victory or death!' May we hope the first sentiment shall crown oour efforts. But, for me, and I but reiterate the sentiments of my fellow soldiers, death is far more preferable than this noble Banner should ever be digraced."
After this the volunteers sat down to a sumptuous banquet given by order of the city council.
The second company was organized on the 22nd of April by electing T. A. McFarland, Captain, D. T. Sleeth, 1st Lieutenant, and Robert Connor, 2nd Lieutenant. The meeting for recruiting this company was held on the 17th of April. The following account of it was published at that time: "The meeting was organized by the appointment of Hon. T. A. McFarland, President, Green Vernon and Joseph Tull, Vice Presidents, and J. W. Elliott, Secretary. After a few patriotic remarks by Mr. McFarland, on taking the chair, the meeting was addressed at length by Col. W. M. McCarty, T. A. McFarland, James Milleson, Mr. Oldham and E. G. Mayhew, in favor of the mainenance of the Union, the constitution and the enforcement of the laws. On motion a committee, consisting of James Elliott (Mayor), John C. Green, E. B. Wingate, James Milleson and Dr. D. Adams, was appointed to draft resolutions expressive of the sense of the meeting. The committee, through their chairman, reported the following, which were passed amid great enthusiasm:
"WHEREAS, There exists an open and avowed rebellion against the constitution and laws of our country, which, if permitted to continue, will prove subversive of the liberties of the whole people of the union, and tarnish forever the glory, honor and fair name of our beloved country in the eyes of the world; therefore,
"Resolved, That we, the people of Shelby County, toally ignoring all past divisions, unite in one common sentiment, that the supremacy of the constitution, the union and the laws, under their properly consititued authorities must be maintained.
"Resolved, That, emulating the example of our forefathers, we pledge our lives, or fortunes and our sacred honors, to maintain the honor of our national flag, consecrated by the blood of patriots on a hundred battle fields, and the integrity of the Union, the palladium of our liberty and the only hope of our posterity.
"Resolved, The appealing to the God of battles to sustain us, we are determined to crush out this rebellion, as the only means of perpetuating the noblest system of Gevernment ever devised by human wisdom.
"During the absence of the Committee on Resolutions a paperwas presented for the enrollment of Volunteers. Forty names were signed at once and arrangements made to continue the enrollment in the morning. * * * After three rousing cheers for Gov. Hicks, of Maryland, and three times three for the stars and stripes, the meeting adjourned."
This company was entirely filled by the 22nd, the date of electing officers. At that time the name "Shelby Guard of Honor" was adopted and an invitation extended to the "Freeport Rovers," and "Brandywine Invincibles," the "Home Guard," of St. paul, and all other companies in the county to meet at Shelbyville and muster the military forces of the county. Cols. McKenzie and Shank, and Capts. Coalscott and McGuire were asked to assist in the drilling and mustering.
The following items of interest appeared in the Volunteer of April 25th:
"The second company of volunteers from Shelby County, under command of Captain T. A. McFarland, are now awaiting marching orders. The company numbers about one hundred, mostly robust and able-bodied men."
"A HIGH COMPANY. ----- There is now being organized in this place a company of volunteers, whose services will be offered to the General Government, when required, of a high order --- or rather high men --- no man standing less than five feet ten inches being eligible to membership. Some twenty odd names have already been enrolled, and it is intended to have the company filled up and ready to report itself under the next requisition, which may probably be in the course of a few days. Able-bodied men filling the bill in stature and willing to do duty commensurate with their size, are requested to come forward and enroll their names imme- [remainder is on page 334]
