| 説明 | Company K, A 41st Illinios Infantry and Company K, 53rd Illinois InfantryTHE VALIANT BOYS OF THE 41ST, ILL. REGIMENT14 April 1864 , Clinton, Dewitt, IL, USA Return of Companies, C, F, and KTheir Reception.On Monday evening, a telegraphic dispatch from Capt. M. DANISON to Col. WARNER announced to the citizens of Clinton that the boys of companies C, F and K, of the 41st Ill. Vet. Vol. Regt., who have re-enlisted, would arrive in town on the morning train from the south.Accordingly, hasty preparations were made for their reception and entertainment, and in the morning, the drum's martial roll, the fife's stirring notes, and the cannon's thundering roar aroused the citizens to bustling activity—men, women and children alike were in feverish excitement, all anxious to do "Honor to the Brave." None seemed more desirous to do their duty in this respect than the Veteran 20th.On the arrival of the train, the citizens and soldiers were at the depot, formed a procession, and escorted the 41st boys to the square, where Hon. L. WELDON delivered an address, as usual, appropriate, soul-inspiring, and filled with thrilling patriotism.At the appointed hour—2½ o'clock—dinner was announced, in Jones' Hall, to which the soldiers were invited and given the place of honor—the table on which the choicest dainties, the richest delicacies and best food prepared for the occasion. The citizens joined in the repast; and many who thought when they entered the hall they could not eat a mouthful, inspired by the rejoicing of those around them, found room in which to stow away a goodly portion of the good things which tempted their appetites. We happened to be among this number.At the commencement of the dinner, a number of ladies and gentlemen sung "Won't we be a happy People." In the evening came the inevitable dance.The hall was handsomely decorated with appropriate banners, flags, evergreens, and the words, "Welcome 41st."To describe the table would be but a repetition of what we have said on former occasions. Let it suffice that it was complete. The Ladies Loyal League, and the ladies assisting them, are entitled their full meed of praise.Mr. James DeLAND raised $50 during the day to defray the expenses.The people are greatly indebted to these noble boys for the part they have taken in defense of the country. Theirs is a brilliant record—one of which we should all feel proud.Companies C, F, and K were organized in Clinton in July and August 1861 and took a prominent part in the following battles, skirmishes [and] sieges, where all displayed the utmost bravery.Fort Henry, Tenn. Feb. 5, 1862 Fort Donelson, Tenn. Feb. 13 and 14, 1862 Shiloh, Tenn. April 6 and 7, 1862 Siege of Corinth, Miss. April 18, 1863 Hatchie River, Tenn. Oct. 5, 1862 Skirmish at Hernando, Miss. April 19, 1863 Cold Water River, Miss. April 19, 1863 Siege of Vicksburg, Miss. 47 days (no date given) Jackson, Miss. (no date given) Sherman's Raid into Mississippi (no date given) At Memphis, Tenn., in 1863, the 41st was challenged to meet the 14th Ill. in a prize drill, for a silver bugle, to be purchased by the officers of the defeated regiment. The contest was for superiority in soldierly appearance and bearing, cleanliness of clothing and arms, command of arms, and marching. The judges unhesitatingly decided in favor of the 41st; and it has ever since been known as the "Silver Bugle Regiment."The boys who are at home are as follows:COMP. C—Capt. M. Danison, Carl Swantz, David Woods, David Warrenburg, Hayden Murry, John Short, Edward R. Bay, Joseph Ware, Thomas Clifton, John W. Dine, Johnathan King, Thomas C. Weaver—12.COMP. F—Serg't I. M. Jones, Owen Morgan, Henry Rodgers, Isaac Reese, Levi Mastin, Thomas B. Young, Joseph Kerr, Abner McUmber, William Wymer, Nicholas Berschard—10.COMP. K—Capt. Wingardner, 1st Lieut. Thomas Kelly, 2d Lieut. James Warren, Serg't A. Snyder, Serg't Solomon Gregory, Enoch Gregory, John E. Gandy, Benjamin F. Frazy, Edmund J. Deverse, John H. Doughman, George Mencer, Curtis Wray, Thomas A. Clark, James Jones, William H. Smith, Edward Connard, and Harrison Duncan—17.In addition to these, we have Quarter Master Sergeant John M. Robinson, of company C, [and] Serg't John McPherson and Isaac N. Peterson, of Comp G.Capt. Kannan and Silas Langerbach, of company A, and F. M. Wheeler, of company B, Charles Harrington, Gen. Furguson, and C. F. Bently, of company E were here on a visit.The original number of Co. C was 101.The original number of Co. F was 96.The original number of Co. K was 64.The Veterans of the 41st have a furlough of 30 days from the 12th.But one thing occurred to mar the joy and hilarity of the day. Tillman LANE, engaged in firing the cannon, was severely wounded from the premature discharge of the piece. Three fingers on the right hand were blown off and his left hand greatly injured. It is feared that amputation of his right hand may be necessary. This sad accident threw a gloomy pall of sorrow over the otherwise joyful occasion. |
