"JOSEPH MOLER, www.usgenweb.com
One of the well known residents of Clinton township is Joseph Moler, who was born in Nicholas county, Kentucky, June 2, 1834. In 1853 he came to Indiana and has since made this state his place of abode. He is the son of John and Sarah (Colliver) Moler, the former born in Bourbon county, Kentucky, in the same vicinity as his son, Joseph. His parents were Pennsylvania Dutch who came to Kentucky about 1790, his father, Joseph Moler, having been a soldier in the Revolutionary war. In 1853 John Moler and family came to Putnam county, Indiana, locating in Clinton township on the land where Joseph Moler now resides. It was then only partly cleared and had a few rude buildings on it, and here the elder Moler lived, and died on November 3, 1866, at the age of sixty-one years, having been born November 30, 1805. His wife died in 1856, at the age of forty-seven years. She was born in Montgomery county, Indiana, in 1809. Only one of their children was born in Indiana those to reach maturity were: Marr, who married Russell Allen, of Greencastle, and died in that city in 1873 or 1874; Joseph, of this review; Richard H., a farmer in Parke county, Indiana: Jeff. T., who lives in Louisiana, Missouri; Susan E., who married R. D. Hamilton and died when in middle life; Levi, who went to Missouri, where he died; Jemima, the wife of Mr. Hannah and living in Missouri; Presley C., a bachelor and still living on the old homestead; Emma J., who married Caleb Bratton, of Boone county, Indiana.
Joseph Moler was nineteen years old when he came to Indiana. He remained at home until he was twenty-five pears old, assisting in clearing the place. On November 1, 1859, he married Lucy P. Newgent, he being twenty-five and she eighteen; they had lived on adjoining farms for some time. A sketch of her father, Edward Newgent, appears elsewhere in this volume. After their marriage Mr. and Mrs. Moler spent two years in Pulaski county, Indiana, then moved back to Putnam county on the farm of Mr. Moler's father, taking charge of part of it. In 1868 he rented and took charge of the entire farm of two hundred and forty acres. Later he bought the interests of others in the home place, owning eighty acres. He has made extensive improvements on his place, building a fine home in 1891, and he has good barns and devotes considerable time to stock raising, making grains also a specialty, feeding what grain the place produces. He has laid two hundred and fifty rods of tile. He is very successful as a general farmer. Mr. Moler is an independent thinker and keeps well posted on political and current events. He is no partisan and always votes for the men whom he deems to be the best qualified for the offices sought.
Three children have been born to Mr. and Mrs. Moler, one of whom died when ten years of age. Levi Shelby Moler is a farmer in Clinton township, he was candidate for nomination as county clerk in 1910. Stella May married J. S. Brown, a farmer of Woonsocket, South Dakota.
On November 1, 1909, was celebrated Mr. and Mrs. Moler's fiftieth wedding anniversary, which was quite an event in the Moler family and greatly enjoyed by all who were fortunate enough to be present. The only anniversary guest who was also present at their marriage was John Newgent, cousin of Mrs. Moler, he having enjoyed the celebration after a half century lapse from the nuptial day almost as much as the elder1y couple themselves. Rev. Joseph Skeeters, now deceased, performed the marriage ceremony.
Fraternally Mr. Moler is a Mason and he takes a great interest in Masonry, endeavoring to live up to its wholesome teachings in his every day life.

James Stuart; Lieut.-Cols., Dudley Wickersham, James Stuart, Samuel N. Hitt; Majs., Joseph S. Smith, Marshall L. Stephenson, Elvis P. Shaw, Samuel N. Hitt, George Snelling, Joseph S. McCartney, David H. Wilson. This regiment was organized at Camp Butler in the latter part of Sept., 1861, and was mustered into the U.S. service on Nov. 25, for three years. In the latter part of Jan., 1862, it moved to Quincy where it was occupied in drill and learning the duties of soldiers until March 13, when it moved to Benton barracks. Early in July, a detachment was at Cane Hill, Ark., where it engaged a very superior force, killing 1 and taking many prisoners. In October Lieut.-Col. James Stuart, with 105 men, attacked a camp of 300 Confederates near Marshfield, Mo., killing 4, wounding many and capturing a captain with 26 men, totally dispersing the remainder, with a loss of 1 killed and 1 wounded. In November about 70 men of Cos. C and M were attacked by a force of about 1,200, at Clark's mills, Mo., and after a fight of several hours acceded to a demand for
surrender, the officers and men being immediately paroled.
The 3rd battalion of the regiment remained at Fayetteville and was occupied in scouting the country, detachments making several expeditions south of the Boston mountains, defeating the enemy in skirmishes at Van Buren, Frog bayou and other places. The 1st battalion was assigned to the 3rd brigade 1st division participated in the engagement at Cotton Plant, Ark., in July, and arrived at Helena on July 12. This battalion participated in two lengthy expeditions, the capture of Arkansas Post, the Yazoo Pass expedition to Fort Pemberton, besides smaller scouts, and was in the engagement at Richmond, La., in June, 1862, where it lost 2 killed and 1 lieutenant with 21 men prisoners. The companies of the battalion were separated much of the time as escorts to various generals. The regiment participated in the engagement at Bayou Meto, being on the right of the line of battle, and lost 1 lieutenant and 1 private killed. In Sept., 1863, it took an active and honorable part in the engagement at Bayou Fourche and the capture of Little Rock, Ark.; was with the column that pursued the enemy and returned to Little Rock. The regiment having reenlisted, it was sent home for furlough, arriving at Camp Butler Feb. 28, 1864. The non-veterans of the regiment accompanied the expedition under Gen. Steele to cooperate with Gen. Banks' Red River campaign, and actively participated in its various engagements. On July 14, at Bayou Des Arc, near Searcy Ark., 225 men were surrounded and attacked by about
1,200 confederates, but they cut their way out with a loss of 2 killed and 20 prisoners, a number of the latter being
wounded. Successful skirmishes were had by detachments at
Cypress bayou, Austin, Cotton Plant, Springfield, West Point and other places. On Jan. 27, 1865, the veterans and recruits of the regiment were consolidated into nine companies, those of the 15th Ill. cavalry into three companies, and all were reorganized into the 1Oth Ill. veteran volunteer cavalry.

On May 2, 1863, it joined in the movement to the rear of Vicksburg; was engaged in the
battle of Jackson, losing 5 men killed and wounded; arrived in the rear of Vicksburg on May 18 and participated in the siege, with a loss of 20 men in killed and wounded. On the surrender of Vicksburg the regiment was ordered to move against the Confederate Gen. Johnston, who retreated to Jackson Miss., and during the siege of that place the loss of the regiment in killed and wounded was 7 men. It was then ordered to Oak Ridge, Miss., and while doing picket duty there had several skirmishes with the guerrillas, 1 man being killed and 2 men captured while on duty. On Feb. 5, 1864, the regiment left on a scout and engaged the enemy at Wyatt, Miss., thus enabling the cavalry to cross the Tallahatchie at New Albany. In June it went out again and engaged the enemy at Guntown, in which action it lost 205 in killed, wounded and missing out of 397 men. On July 13 the brigade to which the regiment was attached was surprised by the enemy near Harrisburg, Miss., but after a sharp engagement the Confederates were repulsed, the regiment receiving the thanks of the brigade commander on the field for the gallant and effective charge made by it. The regiment lost
40 men in killed and wounded. It was in the battle of Nash-
ville, made several charges during the engagement, and lost 15 men in killed and wounded. In March, 1865, it embarked for Spanish Fort, Ala., and was engaged during the siege of that place. The regiment was mustered out on Aug. 3, 1865.

The other children were Leanor, b 1859 in Springfield; Mary A., Elmer P., and Simon F.

Cleophas C. Breckenridge: The Breckenridge homestead consists of four hundred and two acres of the valuable land that makes Sangamon County a fit home for enterprising and progressive farmers. It forms a part of section 1, Cotton Hill Township, and is furnished with all the modern conveniences for the perfect transaction of the work to which it is devoted and the comfort of the family which made it their home. The buildings are first class in design and construction and include an especially comfortable and well furnished dwelling which, with its surroundings, is represented by a view elsewhere in this volume. In this edifice, a room has been set apart for the large and interesting collection of relics that have been secured by Mr. Breckenridge, and that forms a veritable museum of curious and valuable mementoes of the war and other specimens, such as well repay examination. Many of these relics were obtained at great trouble and would prove a valuable addition to the collection preserved by the State in the museum at Springfield. In Bourbon County, Ky., near Paris, the late Preston Breckenridge was born August 5, 1807, and in Nicholas County the eyes of Catherine Moler opened to the light, August 30, 1804. This couple were united in marriage at the bride's home November 17, 1827, and spent a few years of wedded life in the county where their marriage took place. They then removed to this county, arriving in October, 1834, and at once taking up their residence on the farm now owned and operated by their son, our subject. The faithful wife and mother died February 4, 1847, and the father subsequently married Lucy D. Robb, who survived until November 18, 1854. Mr. Breckenridge lived until July 26, 1880, reaching a goodly old age. His first marriage was blessed by the birth of seven sons and five daughters. He was a near relation of Hon. John C. Breckenridge, whose connection with politics is well known and belongs to the annals of history. The gentleman of whom we write was the sixth child of his parents and was born in the township in which he still lives, August 7, 1836. He passed his boyhood and youth amid the usual surroundings of a farm and in the pursuance of the studies and occupations suited to his years, developing his natural abilities, both physical and mental, and fully equipping himself for the battle of life. The vocation in which his respected father was engaged was that which he chose as his own, and the success that has crowned his efforts proves the wisdom of his choice. It needs but a glance over his broad fields to convince the beholder that he makes of his calling both an art and a science, and he is a close student of the physical conditions that increase or diminish the crop prospect. The patriotism that slumbers in the breast of every true American was aroused to its highest pitch in the heart of Mr. Breckenridge when the attempt was made on the National life in 1861 and before the summer was past he was enrolled among his country's defenders. His name was attached to the muster roll of Company D, Thirty-third Illinois Infantry and ere long he was at the front winning the admiration of his comrades and the commendation of his superior officers for his bravery, devotion to duty and cheerfulness under all circumstances. "My country first, my personal comfort afterward," was the burden of his actions, and no duty was too severe for his gallant spirit to endure so long as it promised to keep intact the old flag. At the assault on Vicksburg, May 22, 1863, he was severely wounded in the right side and was unable to do duty for several weeks. Besides that famed encounter, he took part in the battles of Fredericktown, Cotton Plant, Magnolia Hill, Raymond, Jackson, Champion Hill, Black River Bridge, the siege of Vicksburg, the second battle of Jackson, Ft. Esperanza and Coldwater. At the residence of Johnson and Mary (Thomas) Cave, in Montgomery County, this State, January 30, 1868, the marriage rites of Mr. Breckenridge and Lillian T. Cave were solemnized. The bride was the second child and eldest daughter of the host and hostess who had removed from their native State, Kentucky, to this county in 1861 and thence departed to Montgomery County. Mrs. Breckenridge was born in Ballard County, Ky., August 12, 1848. She was the recipient of good educational advantages and excellent home training, and developed the graces of mind and heart, that give her influence and prominence in society and qualify her to discharge the manifold duties that belong to wifehood and motherhood. She is the mother of three children, one of whom was removed from earth in infancy. The survivors are Inez A., now the wife of C. F. Spicer, and Ida B., who yet brightens the parental fireside by her presence. The young ladies are educated , refined and pleasing in manners, ornaments to society and useful in religious and benevolent circles. Mr. Breckenridge has filled some of the school offices in a manner creditable to his judgment and beneficial to the people. Socially he holds membership in Stephenson Post, No. 30, G.A.R., Springfield, Ill., of which he is Past Commander. In politics he is a Republican of the strongest type, who is fully persuaded of the justice of the principles he supports and labors to promulgate. The entire family belongs to the Christian Church and Mr. Breckenridge has held various official positions therein, among them the offices of Deacon and Elder. An hour cannot be spent in his company without instruction and pleasure being derived from his conversation, and his genial manners - those of the best type of the Southern gentleman - win the favor of strangers as well as of more intimate associates.

Cleophas Breckenridge, son of Preston and Catharine (Moler) Breckenridge. The father was born in Bourbon county, Kentucky, August 5, 1807; the mother was also born in Kentucky. They were married November 17, 1827, and came to this county in 1834. They had thirteen children - twelve grown to maturity - eight sons and four daughters. The father was elected to the legislature of 1852-2, beating Abraham Lincoln for the nomination. He was also a member of the board of supervisors for the year of 1873. He died July 25, 1880. Cleophas, Hugh, Joseph and Preston were in the army. The name Breckenridge was derived from a circumstance that occurred in one of the religious wars that took place in Scotland. Two brothers, named McIlvain, were Protestants, and engaged in the conflict, when their party was defeated. They took refuge on a ridge, escaped and came to America, settling in Virginia, and in remembrance took the name of "Brack-on-ridge," from whom the family descended. Mr. Breckenridge has in his possession a twig plucked from this brack or bush in Scotland, and brought to America by John Craig. Mr. B., is a lover of strange and quaint old relics, and of the many among his collection are two gourds, carried by his grandfather through the War of 1812, one of which he used for dipping water and the other for carrying priming powder. Mr. B., also has a pocket compass used by his grandfather during the same war, for a guide in cloudy weather, and as a time piece when the sun shone. The subject of this sketch was the sixth son, and was born in this township, at the old homestead, August 7, 1836. He was married to Lillian T. Cave, from Kentucky, January 30, 1868. They have two children living: Inez A., and Ida B.; one who died in infancy. When Mr. B., first settled here, he purchased one hundred and sixty acres of land and commenced farming, and erected a carding machine, the first in this section of the country; also owned and run the first water mill on the south fork of the Sangamon river. Mr. C. Breckenridge now owns four hundred and eighty acres of land valued at $50 an acre; two hundred and fifty acres are under good cultivation. He raises grain, and feeds cattle for market. Himself and wife are members of the Christian Church, at the south fork, which, at present, is in a flourishing condition. In politics, he is a Republican.

Regimental History
ILLINOIS
THIRTY-THIRD INFANTRY.
(Three Years)


The Thirty-third Infantry Illinois Volunteers was organ-
ized at Camp Butler, Illinois, in the month of September, 1861, by Colonel Chas. E. Hovey, and mustered into the United States service by Captain T. G. Pitcher, U. S. A.

September 20, moved to Ironton, Mo., via St. Louis. Re-
mained at Ironton during the winter, with occasional scouts into the country. On one of these the battle of Fredericktown was fought - Company A on skirmish line. March 1862, moved, with the command of General Steele, southward, passing into Arkansas at Pitman's Ferry, and marching, via Pocahontas and Jacksonport, to Batesville, where it joined General Curtis' army; thence, via Jacksonport, Augusta and Clarendon, to Helena.

July 7, at Cache creek, or Cotton Plant, several companies
participated in a battle with Texas rangers, in which Company A rescued and brought off a field piece belonging to our cavalry. The rebels had a large number killed, and were pursued for some miles. According to our official report one hundred and twenty three rebel dead were found on the main battlefield, and a number were killed in the pursuit. Seven were killed and fifty-seven wounded on the Union side; none killed in the Thirty-third.

During July and August were camped 20 miles south of He-
lena, and engaged in eight expeditions up and down the river.

September 1, was moved up the river to Sulphur Springs,
and thence to Pilot Knobb, where it arrived in the middle of the October, 1862.

November 15, was moved to Van Buren, Ark., in Colonel Har-
ris' Brigade, Brigadier General W.P. Benton's Division, of General Davidson's Corps. Made winter campaign in southeast Missouri, passing through Patterson, Van Buren, Alton, West Plains, Eminence and Centreville, and returned to Bellevue Valley, near Pilot Knob, about March 1,1863.

The Thirty-third was then ordered to Ste. Genevieve, Mo.,
where, with the command, it embarked for Milliken's Bend, La.
Attached to the First Brigade, First Division, Thirteenth Army Corps, it was engaged in all its battles, participating in the battles of Port Gibson, Cbampion Hills, Black River Bridge, assault and siege of Vicksburg, and the siege of Jackson.

April 28, in company with a large force, embarked and ran
down to Grand Gulf, where we watched next day the five-hours fight between the gun-boat fleet and the rebel batteries. The fleet having failed to silence the rebel guns, the troops marched across the bend to the river below, and the fleet ran past during the night, through a heavy fire, which however did but little injury even to the frail transport boats.

Next day, April 30, again embarked, ran down the river
some miles and landed on the Mississippi side. May 1, the
Regiment opened the fight on both the right and the left of the field; and the Thirteenth Corps mainly fought and won it. Four companies of the Thirty-third under Major Potter deployed as skirmishers on the left, developed the position of the enemy, and drew an artillery fire, holding the position until relieved by General Osterhans' Division.

Next morning, May 2, entered Port Gibson without further
resistance, found the suspension bridge across the bayou
burned; and the Thirty-third built, in four hours, a practicable floating bridge, over which the army marched.

On the 16th was fought the battle of Champion Hills.

The First Division was held in reserve until near the
close, but was in the advance is the pursuit, and pressed the enemy closely until dark, when it halted at Edwards' Station, and captured there a quantity of stores. Early in our advance, two men in Company C were killed by a stray or accidental shot.

At daybreak, May 17, were in motion, the Thirty-third
leading the advance and mostly deployed as skirmishers. Before 7 A.M., were engaged with the rebel works in front of the bridge and trestle at Black River. At about 10 A.M., a grand charge swept the enemy out of their works, capturing many hundreds of prisoners. Seventeen pieces of artillery were taken, fourteen of them being first seized by men of the Thirty-third Regiment. Company B was detailed to escort the captured cannon to Haines' Bluff.

May 19, first saw the fortifications at Vicksburg, moved
up through the valleys under their fire, and at one time had preliminary orders to join in Sherman's partial assault, but received no final order to charge. Details took part in the fighting as sharpshooters. May 20, Captain Norton was wounded by a "spent ball," and Captain Kellogg was killed.

May 22, joined in the grand assault. Three companies were
sent out as sharp-shooters, and Company B was on detached duty, leaving six companies to charge in line - probably not exceeding two hundred and fifty men. Seventy-five or six of these - nearly one third were hit, twelve being killed on the field and several mortally wounded. Reached the rebel works, tent were repulsed with the rest of the army; and at nightfall withdrew to a less exposed position, and began the six weeks' siege.

June 1, a careful compilation of losses since crossing the
river showed nineteen of the Regiment killed in action, and one hundred and two wounded, of whom ten had already died in hospital. Some additional loss was suffered during the rest of the siege. July 4 came the welcome surrender of the rebel stronghold and its garrison of over thirty thousand men.

Again no time was wasted in ceremony. July 5, marched
with the main army to Black River to oppose General Johnston; and by the 10th had pushed the enemy back to Jackson. On the night of the 16th the place was evacuated. After tearing up the railroad tracks for some miles, returned to Vicksburg July 24.

In August, moved to New Orleans with the Thirteenth Corps.
In October, with Brigade of Colonel Shunk, Eighth Indiana, Major General C. C. Washburne's Division, and Major General O. C. Ord's Corps, engaged in the campaign up the Bayon Teche. Returned to New Orleans in November. Thence ordered to Brownsville, Texas, but, before landing, was ordered to Aransas Pass.
Disembarked on St. Joseph Island, marched up St. Joseph Island and Matagorda Island to Saluria, participating in the capture of Fort Esperanza. Thence moved to Indianola and Port Lavaca.

The First Brigade, while on the main land of Texas, was
commanded by Brigadier General Fitz Henry Warren.

January 1, 1864, the Regiment re-enlisted as veterans, and
March 14 reached Bloomington, Illinois, and received veteran furlough.

April 18,1864, Regiment was reorganized at Camp Butler,
Illinois, and proceeded to New Orleans, via Alton and St. Louis - arriving 29th, and camping at Carrolton.

May 17, ordered to Brashear City, La. Soon after its ar-
rival the Regiment was scattered along the line of the road, as guard, as follows: company F, C and K, at Bayou Boeuf; Company
I, Bayou L'Ours; Company A and D, Tigerville; Company G, Chacahoula; Company E, Terre Bonne; Company B, Bayou Lafourche and Bayou des Allemands; Company H, Boutte. Regimental Headquarters, Terre Bonne. The District was called the "District of Lafourche," commanded by Brigadier General Robert A. Cameron, Headquarters at Thibodaux.

September 17, 1864, the non veterans of the Regiment were
started home, via New York City, in charge of rebel prisoners, and mustered out at Camp Butler, about October 11, 1864.

March 2,1865, ordered to join the Sixteenth Army Corps.
Near Boutte Station the train was thrown from the track, and nine men - five of A, three of D, and one of G - were killed; and no less than seventy two more were enumerated by name and description as more or less injured, many of them very severely, two or three of whom subsequently died in hospital, and others were discharged from service disabled. The heaviest loss in wounded fell upon Companies A and D - G, E and I coming next in number, and every company suffering more or less, except C and F, which were at the rear of the train.

On the 18th, Regiment embarked on Lake Pontchartrain, for
Mobile expedition. Company K, remaining behind to guard transportation, joined the Regiment April 11, at Blakely. Moved, via Fort Gaines and Navy Cove, and landed on Fish River, Ala., and marched with General Canby's army up east side of Mobile Bay. The Regiment was in the First Brigade, Colonel W. W. McMillan, Ninety-fifth Ohio; First Division, Brigadier General McArthur; Sixteenth Army Corps, Major General A. J. Smith.

March 27. arrived in front of Spanish Fort, the main de-
fense of Mobile, and, until its capture, April 8, was actively engaged. Loss, one killed, two died of wounds, and nine wounded.

After the surrender of Mobile, marched, April 13, 1865,
with the Sixteenth Corps, for Montgomery, Alabama, where it arrived on 25th, and encamped on the Alabama River. Here it received the news of Lee's and Johnson's surrender, after which its operations were not of a hostile character.

May 10, marched to Selma, and May 17 by rail, to Meridian,
Mississippi. Here remained. In the latter part of July the
Regiment was filled above the maximum, by men transferred from Seventy-second, One Hundred and Seventeenth, One Hundred and Twenty-second, and One Hundred and Twenty-fourth Illinois.

Moved to Vicksburg., April 14,1865, and remained at that
place until mustered out of service, November 24, 1865, and ordered to Camp Butler, Illinois, for final payment and discharge.

December 6, 1865, the enlisted men of the entire Regiment
received their final pay, and discharge from the military service, at the hands of Paymaster Maj. Carnahan. The commissioned officers were paid and discharged next day, December 7, 1865; and the Thirty-third Illinois Regiment ceased to exist. Its record of over four years of faithful service was finished.

From first to last, about nineteen hundred and twenty-four
names were borne on its muster rolls. The Regiment had three Colonels, six Lieutenant Colonels, and five Majors. Four companies had two Captains each; four had three each, one had four Captains, and one five. Only one of the original field and staff officers belonged to the Regiment at the final discharge - Surgeon Rex. Of the line officers, two only remained who had been officers at the outset - Captains Smith and Lyon - and they had been promoted from Lieutenants; all the other line officers had "risen from the ranks;" as had also the Major, Ad-
jutant and Quartermaster.

The surviving members of the Regiment at this date (1886)
are scattered far and wide engaged in various occupations, and with various fortunes. Many have held official stations in civil life. All but a very few have added to the merit of their military record that of an honorable and useful citizenship.

Several Regimental reunions have been held, and the last
printed roster shows the post office address of a little over five hundred survivors living in over twenty different States and Territories, one third of them having emigrated west of the Mississippi River.

A and D were from Cass county, B, C, E, G, H and I from Sangamon county, and Cos. F and K from Menard county. The regiment left Camp Butler for Memphis, Tenn., Nov. 8, arrived on the 16th, and remained there about 10 days on picket duty. On May 2, 1863, it joined in the movement to the rear of Vicksburg; was engaged in the battle of Jackson, losing 5 men killed and wounded; arrived in the rear of Vicksburg on May 18 and participated in the siege, with a loss of 20 men in killed and wounded. On the surrender of Vicksburg the regiment was ordered to move against the Confederate Gen. Johnston, who retreated to Jackson Miss., and during the siege of that place the loss of the regiment in killed and wounded was 7 men. It was then ordered to Oak Ridge, Miss., and while doing picket duty there had several skirmishes with the guerrillas, 1 man being killed and 2 men captured while on duty. On Feb. 5, 1864, the regiment left on
a scout and engaged the enemy at Wyatt, Miss., thus enabling the cavalry to cross the Tallahatchie at New Albany. In June it went out again and engaged the enemy at Guntown, in which action it lost 205 in killed, wounded and missing out of 397 men. On July 13 the brigade to which the regiment was attached was surprised by the enemy near Harrisburg, Miss., but after a sharp engagement the Confederates were repulsed, the regiment receiving the thanks of the brigade commander on the field for the gallant and effective charge made by it. The regiment lost
40 men in killed and wounded. It was in the battle of Nash-
ville, made several charges during the engagement, and lost 15 men in killed and wounded. In March, 1865, it embarked for Spanish Fort, Ala., and was engaged during the siege of that place. The regiment was mustered out on Aug. 3, 1865.

"JOSEPH MOLER, www.usgenweb.com
One of the well known residents of Clinton township is Joseph Moler, who was born in Nicholas county, Kentucky, June 2, 1834. In 1853 he came to Indiana and has since made this state his place of abode. He is the son of John and Sarah (Colliver) Moler, the former born in Bourbon county, Kentucky, in the same vicinity as his son, Joseph. His parents were Pennsylvania Dutch who came to Kentucky about 1790, his father, Joseph Moler, having been a soldier in the Revolutionary war. In 1853 John Moler and family came to Putnam county, Indiana, locating in Clinton township on the land where Joseph Moler now resides. It was then only partly cleared and had a few rude buildings on it, and here the elder Moler lived, and died on November 3, 1866, at the age of sixty-one years, having been born November 30, 1805. His wife died in 1856, at the age of forty-seven years. She was born in Montgomery county, Indiana, in 1809. Only one of their children was born in Indiana those to reach maturity were: Marr, who married Russell Allen, of Greencastle, and died in that city in 1873 or 1874; Joseph, of this review; Richard H., a farmer in Parke county, Indiana: Jeff. T., who lives in Louisiana, Missouri; Susan E., who married R. D. Hamilton and died when in middle life; Levi, who went to Missouri, where he died; Jemima, the wife of Mr. Hannah and living in Missouri; Presley C., a bachelor and still living on the old homestead; Emma J., who married Caleb Bratton, of Boone county, Indiana.
Joseph Moler was nineteen years old when he came to Indiana. He remained at home until he was twenty-five pears old, assisting in clearing the place. On November 1, 1859, he married Lucy P. Newgent, he being twenty-five and she eighteen; they had lived on adjoining farms for some time. A sketch of her father, Edward Newgent, appears elsewhere in this volume. After their marriage Mr. and Mrs. Moler spent two years in Pulaski county, Indiana, then moved back to Putnam county on the farm of Mr. Moler's father, taking charge of part of it. In 1868 he rented and took charge of the entire farm of two hundred and forty acres. Later he bought the interests of others in the home place, owning eighty acres. He has made extensive improvements on his place, building a fine home in 1891, and he has good barns and devotes considerable time to stock raising, making grains also a specialty, feeding what grain the place produces. He has laid two hundred and fifty rods of tile. He is very successful as a general farmer. Mr. Moler is an independent thinker and keeps well posted on political and current events. He is no partisan and always votes for the men whom he deems to be the best qualified for the offices sought.
Three children have been born to Mr. and Mrs. Moler, one of whom died when ten years of age. Levi Shelby Moler is a farmer in Clinton township, he was candidate for nomination as county clerk in 1910. Stella May married J. S. Brown, a farmer of Woonsocket, South Dakota.
On November 1, 1909, was celebrated Mr. and Mrs. Moler's fiftieth wedding anniversary, which was quite an event in the Moler family and greatly enjoyed by all who were fortunate enough to be present. The only anniversary guest who was also present at their marriage was John Newgent, cousin of Mrs. Moler, he having enjoyed the celebration after a half century lapse from the nuptial day almost as much as the elder1y couple themselves. Rev. Joseph Skeeters, now deceased, performed the marriage ceremony.
Fraternally Mr. Moler is a Mason and he takes a great interest in Masonry, endeavoring to live up to its wholesome teachings in his every day life.

comment: I contacted Indiana State Library 2 or 3 weeks ago with the request that they look for an obit for Flora (my great-grandmother). A follow up call a few days later, and then a week or some days went by and then the lady called to say she found it. Great! She mailed it, and then another week to get here. It came in the mail "today" Friday, May 27, 2011. What is so awesome about this is Flora died on Friday, May 27, 1938! How amazingly cool is that!
