CIVIL WAR AT

FRANK BRIZENDINE, A WELL KNOWN AND PROSPEROUS FARMER, DIED SATUR­

DAY AFTERNOON.

FUNERAL ON DECORATION DAY

Fought Through Last Two Years of Civil War—Spent Nine Months in Terrible Southern Prison at Andersonville—Member of Grand Army.

Frank Brizendine, age 66 years, a well known and prosperous farmer, Civil war veteran and Grand Army man, died Saturday afternoon at 1:45 o'clock at Eastman's Sanitarium at Indianapolis, where he was taken Saturday morning for an operation and treatment.

His death was due to erysipelas, or a form of blood poisoning. His condition had been considered serious but a short time, as he had been up and about. On Sunday before he died, Mr. Brizendine attended Memorial services at the Sugar Creek M. E. church. Early Saturday morning his attorney in this city was sent for to draw up some papers, and about 8 o'clock he was taken to Indianapolis for treatment. His arm, which was affected, bursted, and his death occurred in a few hours after arriving at the sanitarium.

Mr. Brizendine's wife died about two months ago, and he is survived by three sons and a daughter, Mrs. Lee Hannah, who is seriously sick.

The three sons are Otto, Arlie and Ernest Brizendine, a brother, Ed Brizendine, of Pittsburg, Kansas, and a sister, Mrs. Ann McConnell, of this county, also survive. The brother at Pittsburg was notified of the death Saturday and arrived Sunday night.

The body of Mr. Brizendine was taken to his home from Indianapolis Saturday night and the funeral will occur at the home northwest of the city on Tuesday, Decoration Day, at 10 o'clock, interment at the Sugar Creek cemetery..

Frank Brizendine had a Civil war record for actual service that any man could be proud of and that equaled by but few of all the soldiers that went out from Hancock county. He fought, marched and starved through the two last hard years of the war and spent nine months in the terrible southern prison at Andersonville.

Together with ten other young men from Hancock county, including George W. Duncan, C. J. Willett, Ransom M. Meek, Marshall Meek, Perry Mints, Joseph McFarlan, Morris Fort, John W. Vail, Henry Gant and Frank Gant, Mr. Brizendine enlisted in Company G, Fifth Indiana Cavalry, about December 23, 1863, They remained at Indianapolis during that extremely cold Christmas and New Years of 186364, which the old soldiers tell about, when the thermometer registered lower than it ever has since. He enlisted under William Pilkenton, an uncle of A. C. Pilkenton, of this city, who is now living in Kansas.

When they left Indianapolis they went south to Louisville, Ky., where t,hey stayed a few nights in the barracks, and where Perry Mints, one of the Hancock county boys, took the measles and died in the hospital.

The other ten went on to Chattanooga and Knoxville, Tenn., where their regiment had been quartered, but the regiment having loft there they started across the mountains to Kentucky and went back through Nashville and joined the regiment at Mt. Sterling, Ky., where they stayed about sixty days, or until the early spring when they remounted and started south to Alabama and the Cumberland Gap and joined General Sherman on his "march to the sea.

While the army was besieging Atlanta four divisions of the cavalry started, under Ranking General Stoneman, to form a junction about twenty-four miles north of Macon, Ky. At Macon wras the officers' prison, where 1,100 officers were held and a skirmish of several days ,was made to secure the release of these prisoners, The Rebels got so hot after Stoneman and his- men that they retreated before the Rebel

General Forest's cavalry. Stoneman and his men, about 2,200 in all, were captured, the regiment to which the Hancock county boys belonged being taken first. They were taken to Macon and then to the stockade prison at Andersonville, Ga., where thousands of Union soldiers didd of starvation, disease and exposure, while other thousands were killed by the guards. At the time these

men were taken prisoners there wrere 3,500 new prisoners at Andersonville.

Mr. Brizendine was a prisoner ihere about nine months, or until a wing of Sherman's army swung that way and scattered the Southern forces there. Then Mr. Brizendine, with others of the prisoners, was taken to Florence in Alabama, where the prisoners were held as long as the weakened and scattered Southern forces could hold them.

After he was released Mr. Brizendine went back to Tennessee and joined his regiment and remained in service until he was discharged at the close of the war in 1865.

Only one of the Hancock county boys, Henry Gant, died while at Andersonville. All but two of the ten who went out with Mr. Brizendine returned and several are still living. Those who are known and thought to be living are George W. Duncan, of this city Frank Gant, in Missouri John W. Vail, of Noblesville Morris Fort, in the West Marshall Meek, Kansas, and C. J. Willett, of Indianapolis.

About two years ago Mr. Brizendine and George W. Duncan attended the dedication of the soldiers' monument at Andersonville, where they had spent several horrible months in prison during the Civil wTar, and while there they went over the old battlefields and prison grounds, finding many familiar scenes and places. They brought home with them pieces of the old stockade prison walls that had been sunk into the ground, and with which to make each a cane as souvenirs. While there they also ran across an old negro known as "Old Nigger Jim," whom Mr. Brizendine recognized as one of the young negro slaves who drove the "dead wagon" between the prison and the burying ground while he was a prisoner there, and who did other work about the prison ground. "Old Nigger Jim" buried the first and last prisoner that died at Andersonville and told Mr. Brizendine and Mr. Duncan of many things which occurred there during war times of which they did not know.

Oak S. Morrison is the undertaker in charge of the funeral of Mr. Brizendine.

Talks of a Law Suit.

Charles Jackson, trustee of Van Bui-en township, is threatening to bring suit against his fellow trustees as the result of the resolution '.hey passed at a former meeting, requiring all members of the county board of education to divest themselves of the hirsute adornment of their upper lips. Mr. Jackson obeyed the letter as well as the spirit of the order at the time, but is already sprouting a new mustache. Since he visited the barber his wife, he says, has refused to allow him to sleep in the house, and his stay at the barn has caused him to contract a severe cold. He declares he came near dying of croup one night and is inclined to hold the men who passed the resolution responsible for his physical condition.—Shelbyville Democrat.

JOHN BROWN JUST

II

But Dug Up $200,000 For AssessorKnew What He Had and Its Value.

Assessors generally would like to meet up with farmers like Mr. John Brown, of Villa Grove, 111., as told of in the Areola Record Herald, as follows:

John Brown, of near Villa Grove, was recently visited by the Camargo township assessor with startling results. Mr. Brown is 89 years of age, and is quite feeble, but he greeted the assessor cheerfully and they soon got down to business of listing the venerable gentleman's property for taxation. First he gave in 740 acres of land, which he declared was worth $200 per acre, or $148,000. Then came his personal property, such as horses, cattle, hogs and other live stock, hay and grain, farming implements, etc., which added $8,000 or $10,000 to his list of taxables.

Then he gave the assessor a surprise by announcing that he had on deposit in the various banks of Douglas county ihe sum of $43,000 in cash, which brought the total value of his holdings in the county up to $200,000. Mr. Brown remarked that his health was failing rapidly and that he had not long to remain here on earth and chose to keep the money on deposit in the bank instead of investing it, so it would be easier to divide among his three sons and two daughters, who are the only heirs to the big estate. Last year when Mr. Hayward assessed him he overlooked one deposit of $5,000, and when he remembered it he was so worried he could not sleep that night and early next morning he called the assessor up by telephone and had the correction made.
