Book Title: History Of Howard County Indiana

ADDENDA MILITARY HISTORY.

   It sems to be well authenticated that the ashes of two other soldiers of the
war of the Revolution lie buried in Howard County. The Kokomo Tribune of
December 11 and 15, states that in the Brown graveyard one-half mile west of
Poplar Grove, a now unused burying place, there is a small, weather-stained
headstone bearing this inscription: "Abner Clark, died October 15, 1847, aged 84
years, 3 months and 8 days." Andrew J. Forgey, an octogenarian of that
neighborhood, states that he lived near him for a year prior to his death and
had many conversations with him, and is sure that Clark was a Revolutionary
soldier.

   The Tribune of December 14, 1908, states that James W. Swope, a most reliable
man, says that Jackson Gullion, who was buried in the Twin Springs graveyard,
five miles southwest of Kokomo, was also a soldier of the Revolution.

   The Tribune of December 16, 1908, contains a letter from James W. Cooper, of
Russiavilie, saying that two other soldiers of the War of 1812 were buried
there: Joseph Taylor, who has been mentioned in the Pioneer life of Howard
County, was a soldier of the War of 1812, and was buried in the Russiavilie
cemetery; John Gregg, served under Gen. Willian [sic] H. Harrison at Fort Meigs
and was also in the battle of the Thames, where the British, under Gen. Proctor,
and the Indians under Tecumseh, were defeated. He also was buried in the
Russiaville cemetery.
