   CATLIN, GEN. ISAAC S., born in Oswego, New York in 1832. Graduated at
   Hobart College, Geneva, studied law, being admitted to the Bar at the
   age of twenty-three. Upon the outbreak of the War of the Rebellion he
   volunteered in the Third New York Regiment, and soon rose to the
   command of the One Hundred and Ninth Regiment. In the battles of Big
   Bethel and the Wilderness he displayed much courage. At the storming
   of Petersburg his right leg was shattered by the premature bursting of
   a mine, and it had to be amputated. At the close of the war he was a
   brigadier general by brevet.
