Rathbone; on the same day moved to St. Louis, Mo., and went into Benton Barracks on the 24th, where it received it's equipments, being the first Regiment out of the State under the call of 1862.

September 8, was sent to Rolla, Mo., thence, September 17, to Salem, Dent county, thence, November 20, to Houston, Texas county. Was assigned to the Brigade of Brigadier General Fitz Henry Warren. Was engaged in a skirmish at Bear Creek, losing 1 killed 4 wounded and 1 taken prisoner, and in the battle of Hartsville lost 35 killed and wounded.

Our loss was light.

On the 19th of May was at the defences of Vicksburg. On the 22d the Regiment took a prominent part in the assault, losing, out of 300 men 103 killed and wounded. The Colonel and Major were wounded early in the day, leaving Captain A. C. Mathews in command. It's line, during the day was close to the enemy's works, and it's colors planted on their breast-works. This position was held by the Ninty-Ninth until 4 o'clock p. m., when it was relieved by another regiment, and moved back 150 yards to where its knapsacks had been left. While calling roll the line which had relieved the Regiment was driven back in great confusion. The Ninety-Ninth advanced, and opening a heavy fire, drove the enemy back into his works and held him there, probably saving the whole Division from stampede.

Was engaged during the siege in General Benton's Brigade-Eighth and Eighteenth Indiana, and Thirty-Third and Ninety-Ninth Illinois. The Ninety-Ninth lost during the entire campaign and siege, 223 killed, wounded and missing.

In the assault of Vicksburg May 22, the color bearer, the gallant young hero William Sitton, was wounded, when the invinciple Tom Higgins grasped the stars and stripes, and carried them into the breastworks, where he was captured, and lost the stand of colors. In 1873 the colors were sent from Richmond, Va., to Philadelphia, Pa.,thence to Springfield, Ill., where they now are. Stains of blood can yet be seen on them, the patriot blood of the lamented Sitton.

November 16, embarked for Texas. On 25th, landed at Mustang Island, and marching up to Matagorda Island, commenced the attack on Fort Esperanza, which was soon surendered. The Ninety-Ninth remained in Texas during the spring of 1864.

The Ninety-Ninth assisted in its investment and capture, and, on the 12th, entered Mobile.

In June, 1865, the Division was ordered to Red River, to receive the surrender of Kirby Smith, and it proceeded to Shreveport, La. From this place Colonel Mathews was detailed to proceed, with a body-guard of the Sixth Missouri Cavalry, to the Indian Territory, and receive the surrender of Brigadier General's Cooper and Standwaite, and to form temporary treaties of peace with the Indian tribes. The Colonel formed treaties with ten tribes-including the Choctaw's, Cherokee's, Chickasaw and Osage's-and returned (having traveled a thousand miles) on the 3d of July.

Arrived at Springfield, Ill., August 6, 1865, and received final payment and discharge August 9, 1865, and by midnight of the same day the surviving veterans were in their own county.

The Ninety-Ninth had three years of active service and were in the states of Missouri, Arkansas, Tennessee, Mississippi, Louisiana, Texas and Alabama.

The Ninety-Ninth was often honored by having important staff positions given to its line officers. Captain, afterward Colonel Mathews, was on staff duty with different Generals, also Lieutenants Sever, Bowsman and Kinne. Captain Massie was A. A. Q. M. and A. A. C. S. and was A. A. A. General in the battles at Spanish Fort and Blakely. No particular distinction is claimed for the officers named, but this mention is due them and the Regiment, as the position came to them unsought, and the survivors of the old Regiment take just pride in remembering the gallant and famous commanders with whom they served, namely, Grant, Sherman, Granger, Steele, Reynolds, Canby, Carr, McGinnis, Veatch, Slack, Lawler, Washburn and Scheck.

Shortly after their discharge the survivors, their wives and sweethearts, were given a grand dinner by the citizens of Pittsfield, where 3 years before over 900 men had marched out to do and die for their country. At the banquet less than 350 partook of the feast.

The Ninety-Ninth was in the following battles and skirmishes: Beaver Creek, Mo., Hartsville, Mo., Magnolia Hills, Miss., Raymond, Miss., Champion Hill, Miss., Black River, Miss., Vicksburg, Miss., Jackson, Miss., Fort Esperanza, Tex., Grand Coteau, La., Fish River, Ala., Spanish Fort, Ala., and Blakely, Ala..

He, with his parents, came to Illinois when but a small boy, where he grew to manhood. He was united in marriage to Nancy Jane Carr April 3, 1867, and to this union were born twelve children, four of whom, together with the companion of his youth, preceeded him to the great beyond, the wife and mother dying January 29, 1900. He was united in marriage to Mary J. Black August 20, 1902.

He, together with his first wife, became Christians uniting with the United Bretheren church nearly 40 years ago. Twenty years later they united with the Christian church at Timewell, of which church he was a faithful and respected member up to the time of his death. He was sincere in his religious convictions, believing in his Saviour with the simplicity of a little child, and if he erred, which we all do, it was a matter of misjudgement, and not intentionally.. He was honest to the last penny, and as a Christian citizen he had the respect of all who knew him. He was retiring in disposition, and to have him as a friend, was to have a friend indeed.

The eight living children are: Mrs. Rosetta Bennet, of Cynthia, Ind.; Mrs. Orsie Pierson, of Timewell; W. B. DeWitt, of Clayton; A. I. DeWitt, of Galesburgh; Marvin P.

Roann Ophelia Markland

Roann Ophelia, daughter of Wm. and Nancy Carr, was born in Brown County, Ill., Jan. 18th, 1859, and departed this life at Colorado Springs, Colo., Nov. 23, 1919 aged 60 years 10 months, 5 days.

She removed with her parents, brothers and sisters to Hancock county while still quite young and practically all her life has been spent near Stillwell.

She was united in marriage to Hugh W. Markland on Dec. 26, 1880. To this union were born three children: Iona M., now Mrs. Ralph Crawford, of West Point, Ill.; Earl, also of West Point, and Mollie B., now Mrs. Chas Peterson of Hamilton, Ill.

While quite young she gave her heart to her master and gave her life into his keeping and we believe she could well say with the apostle of old, "I know whom I have believed and am persuaded He is able to keep that which I have commited to Him against that day."

Mrs. Markland had been in failing health since an attack of influenza a year ago. In September she, with her husband, made the journey West in search of health. The change seemed to greatly benefit and she was gaining in health until Friday, Nov. 21, when she was taken with a severe cold which rapidly developed in pneumonia and the end came about 9:30 o'clock on Sunday evening.

She was preceeded in death by her father and mother and eight brothers and sisters.

She leaves to mourn her passing, besides her husband and children, one brother Alvin A. Carr of Stillwell, Ill., and two sisters, Mrs. Martha L. Reed, of Kansas City, Mo., Mrs. Hattie I. Markland of Ellensburg, Washington, besides many other relatives and friends.

Mrs. Markland was a good and faithful wife, a true and affectionate mother and a kind neighbor. She truly was a good woman and earths loss is heaven's gain.

"Servant of God well done. Thy glorious warfare's past; The battles fought, the race is won. And thou art crowned at last."

Funeral services were conducted from the Stillwell Christian church Friday, Nov. 28, 1919, at 2 o'clock, by L. H. Hooe, of Bowen Ill. Appropriate music was furnished by a mixed quartette.

A large crowd was in attendance. Her body was laid to rest in the West Point Cemetery.
