Newspaper Articles from Jo Daviess County Transcribed by Colleen "The Daily Advertiser.(Galena, IL) ...Jan. 6, 1864 through Oct. 3, 1864." GALENA DAILY ADVERTISER: Wed. morning ........Jan. 6, 1863 (typo error..suppose to be 1864).......Vol. 16 Page 3 col. 2 COLD WEATHER " The average temperature of Friday, Jan. 1st, was as cold as ever known in this vicinity. At 7 o'clock am, the mercury stood 30 degrees below zero; at 12 o'clock m, it stood 20 degrees below; at 9 pm, 27 degrees below, and at 7 o'clock Sat. morning it was down to 28 degrees. Many persons out calling New Year's day had their ears frozen, and several froze their hands and feet. The following from the Dubuque Times of Friday last, will apply to the conditions here on Thursday: Yesterday, Dubuque was as a city in the wilderness. She held no more communication with the world than if she had neither railroad nor telegraph. The primitive day of the first settlement were restored. All day long chilling wind and blinding snow forced her people to keep in doors. The appearance of Main street was as Sabbath like as the most rigid observer of the sacred day could wish well to see--businesses, save in the saloons and billiard rooms was dead, a little poultry and nic nacs were purchased in the groceries for New Year's, and that was all. The merchants and their clerks sat around their stoves, and told stories, ate apples, and cracked nuts and jokes. Mechanics went to their shops, took off their coats and worked awhile, and then went home to keep warm. Whew I but how cold it was. The atmosphere was like etherial ice, and when the wind seized it and, shrieked like a dying maniac drove it through men's clothing, and against their shrinking bodies, the flesh shivered and the blood curdled."

TOWNSEND, in the town of Rush. He was 79 years of age. In 1827 Mr. TOWNSEND removed from the state of New York to the Lead Mines and settled at Gratiot's Grove, Wisconsin, where he engaged to some extent in mining, but more extensively in raising and dealing in live stock. In 1848 he removed to the town of Pleasant Valley, in this County, and being at that time a widower, he soon after married the widow KELLOGG, of that town, and resided there till the time of his death. His widow about the age of himself, is still living. When he came to the Lead Mines Galena contained but a few log huts, and the region where he resided was but a wild prairie. He lived to see a dense population settle around him and become a wealthy and intelligent people. He saw his sons grow up, marry and become wealthy and extensive farmers' and honest, intelligent men, occupying positions of honor and trust. At the time of his death he had living, eight children, fifty-two grand children and twenty great grand children. Two sons residing at Shullsburgh, Wis., A.A. TOWNSEND and E.C. TOWNSEND have both been members of the Legislature of Wisconsin and of the Board of Supervisors of Lafayette County. H.S. TOWNSEND, of Rush, in this County, another son, has been a Representative in the Legislature of Illinois, and a member of the County Board of Supervisors. The oldest son, G. N. TOWNSEND, of Rush is probably the most extensive farmer in Jo Daviess County. The Funeral Sermon will be preached on the 24th inst., at the Chelsea Meeting House."

EUSTACE Captain & Provost Marshal 3rd District, Illinois Page 3 col. #1 THE LATE SAMUEL HUGHLETT "The Dubuque Herald, in speaking of the death of our esteemed citizen, Samuel Hughlett, says: "Our older citizens speak in the highest terms of Mr. Hughlett and of his residence here over twenty years ago. His loss will be felt by a large circle of business acquaintances in Galena, and by those citizens of Dubuque who knew him, some of whom attend his funeral on Friday last." SCHOOLS AND TEACHERS "Mr. SMITH, principal of the High School in this city, went down to Egypt on a visit the last of December, and getting show bound, did not arrive home in s__ to commence his school last week. He arrived last Friday, and his department commences today. J.H. WOODRUFF, Principal of the Dunleith Public Schools, also got snow bound down in Egypt, on his wedding tour, and arrived home one week behind time. The Dubuque Herald in noticing this fact, speaks of Mr. W. as being County Superintendent, Friend Woodruff, we knew you were elected but did not know that it was to that office. The Herald doubtless made the mistake from the fact that a man, on marrying as pretty a bride as Woodruff has, usually feels good enough to be a County Superintendent, President of the United States and Governor of all the Territories. The ____Schools commence today, with J.H. WOODRUFF as principal, Miss Lydia ALLEN teacher of the Intermediate department and Miss J_nette B_ow in the primary department." PERSONAL "J.A. PACKA_(Packard?) and three others associated with him, started last Thursday for Mississippi to plow their ground and make other preparations for raising a crop of cotton the coming season. Mr. P. will not stay there permanently, but will keep hands there at work. His family are still here in the city and he will be here a part of the time. Mr. E. GRAHAM has also gone south on the same business. R.E. ODELL, Esq. our Assistant Assessor, is in the city to receive reports from manufacturers and others whose duty it is to make monthly reports of their business to him BRIGADIER GENERAL J.A. ROLLINS and his bride arrived here on Friday. They are to return, we understand, this morning. The General's numerous friends in this city will regret that he could not make a longer stay. Few have had an opportunity to see and congratulate him upon his last gallant achievement. JAMES BAYNE, Esq., of Warren, who lost his pocket book a few weeks ago, containing a large amount of money and notes, has found the pocket book and notes, but the $1,700 in cash was gone."

ROWLEY (or Bowley), and Captain William Vincent, all leave the city this morning for the seat of war. Their society has been a rich social treat to their friends in Galena. They are three as good men and brave officers as ever wielded a sword." HAVE YOU A WIFE? "If not get one, but before doing so go to T.H. Gelston's and get some of his fine buck -wheat flour, golden syrup, and excellent coffee,--then see if she don't smile on you while eating that first breakfast. You will also want to buy her one of those fancy traveling baskets, a few barrels of green apples and some choice teas. Gelston ___ all these articles and many more. He will sell you goods as cheap as any one in the city, and send them to your house besides. Call and see him." FUNERAL OF SAMUEL HUGHLETT "The funeral of Mr. HUGHLETT, from the Bench Street M.E. Church, on Friday morning, was largely attended. Notwithstanding the extreme severity of the weather, the house was filled with his friends and acquaintances from the surrounding mining country. The discourse was delivered by Rev. HOOPER CREWS, of Joliet, who had been summoned by telegraph, at Mr. HUGHLETT's request, to visit him in his sickness, but was detained by the storm, and only arrived in time to attend his funeral. Mr. HUGHLETT was born in Davidson county, Tenn., in 1808. When a boy he removed to Missouri with his father and brothers. He came to this country in November, 1831. Was in the fort at Elizabeth and fought in the Black Hawk war of 1831. After the war he made his home at Elizabeth, digging in with Mr. HITT, who is still living at that place, two years--after which he served a term as Deputy Sheriff, under Alex YOUNG. In 1835 or '36, he removed to Dubuque and commenced smelting for Mr. WALLER. In the winter of 1837 he again removed to Galena and bought half interest in the furnace of R. W. BRUSH -- the ruins of which furnace stand near the family residence. He remained in partnership with Mr. BRUSH for some time, when Mr. B. sold out his interest to Messrs. Henry CORNWITH, of this city and Jefferson CRAWFORD, of Hazel Green, who continued the business until 1854, under the firm name of S. HUGHLETT & Co., when Mr. HUGHLETT became the sole proprietor of the business. In 1861 he received into partnership with him his son Thomas B. HUGHLETT, who remained with him until the death of his father, and by whom the business will continue to be carried on. Mr. HUGHLETT, for several years carried on the Smelting business at Elizabeth, being connected with Augustus ESTEY, of this city, Benj. TART, Henry GREEN, and W. GOLDTHORP, as partners. Mr. H. was an honest, persevering and successful business man--having in a few years amassed a handsome fortune. He was a real friend to the poor and needy--to him an appeal was seldom made in vain--never when satisfied the object was worthy--and scores of families in this city have been recipients of his bounty, without knowing from whence came the timely aid. He gave to relieve, from a heart always in sympathy with the suffering--never for show or to have the praise of men. Many a miner, too, in speaking of Mr. H., will tell of his kindness in affording aid to enable them to pros_ente their mining, where they have been discouraged and in need of help. A benevolent man--a leading old citizen--an honest man has passed away. Who will fill his place -- who will help the poor--who will relieve the distressed now?"

During the same period the Grain trade has amounted to the round sum of one million two hundred thousand dollars. Pretty well for a "one-horse town." FROM THE 96th REGIMENT " Mr. John R. Taylor, of Co. A. 96th Illinois regiment, arrived in this city yesterday, having left Nick o' Jack Cove, Georgia , where his regiment has gone into winter quarters, on the 8th inst. He reports the health of the regiment excellent. He could think of only one man, Corp. SULLIVAN, of Co. F, on the sick list. The boys have built themselves comfortable log cabins, and are in fine spirits. The probability is that they will stay in their present location until spring." FATAL ACCIDENT AT BENTON "A friend at Benton, Wis., writes us that a boy named James WEBB, about 16 years of age, was accidentally killed on Tuesday, the 12th, in his father's diggings, one mile north of that place, by a tub of clay falling on his head. He had descended into the shaft, which was about 20 feet deep, and filled the tub, which his brother Thomas was in the act of hoisting, when the rope broke, letting the tub of clay down upon his head, killing him instantly. They were both industrious boys, and this sad accident, which has befallen one of them, has cast a gloom over the neighborhood. Their father is at present in California."

The wolves eat thereof, and died before getting ten feet from where they stood. The bounty upon the wolves is ten dollars each." ITEMS "The average price of wood in Freeport, at present, is $10 per cord. "Several cattle and hogs, and numerous chickens were frozen to death in Stephenson county last week. One Mr. BERRY lost fourteen head of cattle. Others lost two or three each. The FREEPORT JOURNAL says that last Saturday, the 9th inst., was the first day in 1864 that the thermometer showed a temperature above 8 degrees below zero in that section. For ten days it averaged from 8 degrees to 35 degrees below zero." TWELFTH ILLINOIS INFANTRY "We learn that this old Regiment, organized in may 1861, for three months service, re-enlisted and reorganized in July the same year for three years, has again volunteered as veteran soldiers for three years of the war. Co. F, from our own County, forms a part of the Regiment. This company was the first to respond to the first call of the President for troops, and its captain, the first man who volunteered in the county. When the company left Galena, in April 25, 1861, the following were its officers: Captain, Augustus L. CHETLAIN, now Brigadier General; 1st Lieut., Wallace CAMPBELL, now Colonel; 2nd Lieut., J. Bates DICKSON, now Major and A.A.G. on General HOOKER's staff. These gentlemen have, by their bravery in action their efficiency as officers, and their gentlemanly bearing, won lasting honors. They are and honor to Galena, and her citizens are proud to honor them. Co. F. is expected home on a thirty days' furlough in a few days. We understand a project is on foot by some of our citizens to give them a handsome reception and entertainment. This is as it should be. Let those who fight our battles feel that they have a place in warm, loyal patriotic hearts." ------------ GALENA NEWSPAPER #7 When you see the same name spelled differently in an an article it is because the newspaper spelled the name two different ways.....Colleen GALENA DAILY ADVERTISER............Vol 16.............Monday morning, Jan. 18th, 1864 Page 3 col. #1 FREIGHT TRAIN SMASHED UP "A freight train bound west, on the Illinois Central Railroad last Saturday evening, when coming near a bridge between this place and Council Hill, ran over a horse, throwing fourteen cars from the track. Some of them went down a steep bank, rolling over and over, and others plunged off the bridge smashing the wood work to splinters and badly breaking the wheels and other iron work. The freight was strewn about in admirable confusion. Barrels of crackers, and boxes of soap, candles and tobacco, were burst open and their contents scattered around among the ruins of broken cars. The bridge was so much damaged as to need repairs before trains can again cross it. The Western bound passenger train came up soon after the accident occurred, and waited there till a train went down from Dunleith and took the passengers on board." THE TROTTING MATCH LAST SATURDAY "A great number of people from this city, Dunleith, Dubuque and other towns in this vicinity went down onto the ice on Galena river last Saturday to witness a trotting match between a bay horse owned by P.S. HICKEY of this city and a small black horse called "Tom Thumb," owned by A.W. RICHMOND, of Dubuque. Each party put up $100, and quite a large amount of money was staked by persons outside, --those from Dunleith and Dubuque generally on Tom Thumb, and those from this city betting on HICKEY's horse. As the matter had been pretty generally discussed and money was at state, a good deal of interest was felt as to the result. The course was one mile long. HICKEY's horse, during the first half mile was somewhat behind, but finally came up and was out a few feet ahead. As both horses broke and run more or less, the umpires decided that neither party had won the stakes. RICHMOND proposed a second trial but HICKEY declined, claiming that he had already fairly won the stakes and that if justice could not be done him on a first trial, he could have no reason to expect it on a second. Thus the matter was left, each one present going home as he came, convinced that his favorite horse could make the best time." GUESS IT IS TRUE "Those who know how difficult it is, in a muddy time, to get from Main street over to the depot will not doubt that General Grant actually used the language credited to him by a Boston paper. A friend of Gen. Grant informs us that when rallied recently about the persistent use of his name by the New York Herald for the Presidency, he said: "I aspire only to one political office. When the war is over I mean to run for Mayor of Galena (his place of residence). And if elected, I intend to have the sidewalk fixed up between my house and the depot." ************************************** GALENA DAILY ADVERTISER Vol. 16 Tuesday morning, Jan. 19, 1864 Page 3 col. #1 GALENA MEN IN CALIFORNIA "Hon.
