EARLY PIONEERS (By L. A. Neff) V. In looking over my father’s diary from 1856 to the year 1863 i I notice among the items of his; expense the taxes on his eighty ; acre farm and his personal property. At this time he had about i ten acres cleared and the balance I seventy acres in virgin timber, which the woodman’s ax had not touched. In the year 1856 he paid $9.52 in full for state, county, school, road, township, library sinking fund and special school taxes, and his poll and personal property. In the year 1857 he paid on the same seven dollars and nine cents, in 1859 seven dollars and thirty-three cents, in 1860 ten dollars and eight cents, in 1863 thirteen dollars and seventy-one cents. The year 1863 this government was in the great civil war and the state, county and township was at great expense buildingpublic buildings of different kinds and bridging its rivers, creeks and building many newpublic roads across marshes and low lands. This same eighty acres in 1920 is taxed one hundred and forty seven dollars, not including poll tax or personal property. If this eighty acre fanm was in the state or had its virgin timber as then it would bring one thousand dollars per acre, today it would not bring one hundred dollars per acre, and its tax is increased nearly fifteen hundred per cent. The writer today is paying six dollars per month tax for the privilege of living in his own property for which he paid twenty one hundred dollars several years ago. Will some‘philosopher tell me why our taxes have increased fifteen hundred per cent in the last sixty years? The call of President Lincoln of. April 15, 1861, for seventyfive thousand volunteers for three months service found the patriotic citizens of Elkhart county awake to the great importance of the service and eager to show their love to the cause of the union. In September 1861 this county organized the forty-eighth regiment with headquarters at Goshen. Prompt measures were

made for the care and comfort of this regiment. The use of the live stock association, two miles south of Goshen, was procured and made i"ady. and early in October the first company A. Captain B. D. j Townsend, marched into their quarters. This was known as Camp Ellis. This camp increased md the regiment, nearly one thousand strong, left this camp on the first day of February 1862 for Fort Donnelson by the way of Cairo, where it arrived the next day. After the surrender this regiment was in many battles and long marches. On he fifteenth of July 1865 it was nustercd out of service at Louisville. Kentucky. During its long marches and many battles it lost two hundred md thirteen men; killed and vounded. The writer was then in his seventh year and he massed by this old camp ground SPECIAL ATTENTION GIVEN TO ESTATES.
