John Meriwether
James P. and Mary (Eversole) Meriwether, both deceased, are the parents of the 
subject of this sketch who was born Nov. 23, 1844, in Floyd county, Ind. His 
wife, whom he married in Georgetown township, Nov. 15, 1866, is Indiana A. 
Wolf, daughter of David and Mary (Utz) Wolf, both deceased, and who was born 
in this township Nov. 13, 1844. This union has been blessed with five 
children: David E., Charles A. dec., Henry J. dec., Blanch N. and Bessie C. 
Comrade Meriwether was engaged in farming when he responded to his country's 
call for help enlisting from La Fayette, Ind., Feb. 27, 1865, at the age of 20 
years. He was enrolled as a private in Co. H, 150th Ind. V. I. Owing to the 
lateness of his enlistment and the close of the hostilities soon thereafter, 
he did not take part in any battles but did guard and garrison duty in 
Shenandoah Valley. He was granted and honorable discharge August, 1865, at 
Indianapolis, Ind. His brother, George W. served in 119th Ill. V. I. His wife 
had two brothers in the service, George and David, both members of Co. C, 81st 
Ind. V. I. Conrade Meriwether is a member of Georgetown Post, 582, and his

Additional Comments:
I came across the photocopied pages in a file at the public
library in New Albany. I have never been able to locate an
original copy of the book.
