Ohio, and 118th O.V.I./Civil War Date: Sun, 25 Mar 2001 12:49:58 +0200 This is an article which was in the Kalida Sentinel, July 28, 1864, Vol. X, No. 10, Kalida, Ohio. If anyone should like a scan I don't mind sending it by email. Kathy Baker "AT HOME" Col. A. V. Rice, of the 57th, O.V.V.I., and William C. Crabill, of 118th O.V.I., arrived at their homes in this place, yesterday, (Wednesday) morning. Col. Rice was wounded in Sherman's attack on Kenesaw Mountains, on the 27th ult., (that's what is says but I don't know what it means) one ball penetrating his right knee, and another his left foot. His right leg was amputated just above the knee, doing well. He suffers the most excruciating pain from the wound received in the left foot. Since wounded, we are informed that he has been promoted to a Brigadier General. No man is more deserving of the position than is Col. Rice. When the war first broke out he entered the service as a Capatain in the 21st Regiment, and served in Western Virginia; and at the expiration of his service, raised a company and entered the 57th, where he was soon promoted to a Lieut. Colonel. At the storming of Vicksburg he was severely wounded.--He was brought home, where he remained until sufficiently recovered to permit him to take command as Col. (Col. Mungen having resigned). Mr. Crabill looks a little the worse for wear. He appears somewhat lame from a wound recently received -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: "Bakers" Subject: The Putnam County Sentinel, Ottawa, Ohio, Obit for George Kitchen Date: Sun, 25 Mar 2001 12:59:14 +0200 This was found in the June 14, 1866, issue of the above subject newspaper. If anyone would like a scan let me know. Kathy Baker BOY DROWNED George, son of Joseph Kitchen, came to his death by drowning, on last Sunday, under the following circumstances, as we learn from Mr. R. Crow, who assisted in recovering the body: The Methodist were holding a protracted meeting at the KITCHEN School house, about three miles below this place. After services the minister and members retired to the river to baptize some converts, where several boys remained to "take a swim." The small boys were told not go into the river, as they could not swim and the water was very deep and swift.-- Not taking warning, some of them plunged in and were washed down by the current. A son of our informant leaped in to save GEORGE, but before reaching him he was caught by the other two and had to return to shore to save his own life. Word was dispatched to the members who returned to the river, but too late to save the life of GEORGE. His body was immediately recovered, but life was extinct. The parents have the deepest sympathy of the entire community. GEORGE is the eighth child Mr. KITCHEN has buried, one, a boy of fourteen, having been drowned some two years since at the Barnhizer mill, five miles above here. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------- End of OH-FOOTSTEPS-D Digest V01 Issue #47 ******************************************
