| 515 |  | Abel testifies re insane woman 1911 In clear who pressed this case. A hearing was held in the Duffield home "as to the sanity of Mrs. John Duffield....Abe Fisher told of violent language he had heard her use and of the cruelty he had seen her exercise toward the children of Mr. Duffield who were her step-children. Marion Bond testified to similar facts and told of having seen her knock the smaller girl down with a club and drag her into the house. Instances of her misbehavior in church were also cited. Lucien English and Charles Sweasy corroborated the evidence of these witnesses and added other instances of the use of improper language and inhuman treatment of the children. All of these facts were stoutly denied by all members of the Duffield family. The little girls when questioned maintained that they had always been kindly used and never mistreated. Doctor Dillon was called as a medical expert and gave as his opinion that she was of unsound mind. The commission found her to be insane and she was taken to the depot in a carriage left on the 3:20 train for the sanitarium at Bartonville, accompanied by Deputy Sheriff Simmons and Miss Josie Westfall of Macomb representing the McDonough County Charity Board." Merely aberrant behavior was often ruled insane until the the late 1900s. |

| 518 |  | Acquitted and disappear 1942 In an article about a night of unrest in Hazard, an update on the murder of Samuel Kaylor: "Sheriff Cornett said Robertson denied orally that he killed Sam Kaylor here a year ago and placed the blame on Earl Crawford, Negro, who formerly lived here. Robertson was convicted of murdering Kaylor, but obtained a new trial and had been free on bond. Crawford disappeared after being acquitted in the same case." Robertson's second trial for the murder of Samuel Kaylor apparently never happened. Robertson was convicted of the murder of Bertha Lehman mentioned in this article and sentenced to death in Jun 1942. He was electrocuted in Aug 1942. |

The young man has been paying some attention to the young woman, and in talking with the Gazette over the telephone this afternoon indicated that he was not a prime favorite with the father...The pocket knife which has an atrociously dull little blade, has been given a place among the relics of the city." |

| 533 |  | An Illinois Soldier's Experience 1884 Stewart Hoskinson tells of his fighting, be shot, and taken prisoner Franklin, TN: "...I have good reason to remember that eventful evening of Nov. 30, 1864, and well remember seeing our troops who were holding the works in front of us falling back in confusion before the charge of the rebels; then hearing our Major (Motherspaw, not Motherspan) give the order to the 73d to charge to the front; then of the confused mass of our retreating men we tried in vain to check right in front of Carter's house, they rushing to the rear pell-mell through the gaps in the picket-fence, and we in as big a hurry to get to the front to salute the Johnnies...I never knew just what hour the fight ended, but at about 8 o'clock, as near as I should judge, for I had fired nearly 60 rounds. I received a shot in my left shoulder, which (barring accidents) I will carry to my grave, striking me on the point of collarbone and coming out at the backbone near the bottom of the shoulder-blade. At the time, and for three or four days, till suppuration set in and the pieces of cloth came out of the wound, I was not certain but what I had been accidentally shot by some of our men in rear of me. The blood rushed from my mouth in a stream and I thought my last hour was near, but after a short time the inward bleeding stopped and I took courage. A lull in the fring taking place shortly after, I managed to get to the rear, behind Carter's house, where I lay down for an hour or more, when I heard some one inquire if there were any of the 73d there. I answered "here," and three or four of our regiment came to me and carried me into town and left me in the brick church on the east of the turnpike, with about 100 others of our severely wounded. Having been on picket at Spring Hill the night before and rear-guard all day from there to Franklin, I was worn out, so I fell into a troubled sleep, and about midnight wakened to fnd we were prisoners. There were 190 of our wounded taken there, and at the end of 17 days, at the recapture of Franklin, we were reduced to 140. One surgeon staid with us, and with the assistance of one or two resident physicians cared for our wounds. Had it not been for the kindness of some of the ladies of Franklin I do not know how we would have fared, as what little rations of flour and poor beef was issued to us had to be cooked, and no one could do it but one....I received my discharge Feb. 10, 1865, from "gunshot wound of left shoulder," but after reaching home it proved to be an injury to the left lung also, and for nearly 30 months the wound in my back remained open, so I could blow by breath through the opening. I am suffering more or less all the time from it, and am at present drawing $12 per month pension...STUART F. HOSKINSOn, Co, G, 73d Ill., Seattle, King Co., W. T. |

| 536 |  | Application file for WA State WW I Veterans Compensation Fund: Hector Cato Peabody 1921 Washington State passed the Veterans Equalized Compensation Act 2 Nov, 1920. The Act offered to US citizens who were verified residents of the state of Washington, $15.00 for every month or major fraction thereof of active duty service in the Army, Navy or Marine Corps of the United States in World War I, performed subsequent to April 6, 1917, and prior to November 11, 1919. Hector applied for compensation in Sep 1921. His application provides detail on his parentage, marital status, occupation in 1921, and history of service: Born 17 Apr 1887, Fort Kalamath, to Carlton A. Peabody, deceased and Edith G. Wood (surname following 2nd marriage to John B. Wood.) Residence in 1921: Box 81, Winslow, WA Occupation: machinist, though unemployed at time of application Married at enlistment to Vivian Peabody Military service: U Navy Reserve, Aviation Date of enrollment: 15 Jul 1918, San Francisco, CA Military Service No: 1524900 Reported for duty: 22 Jul 1918, US Naval Air Station, San Diego, CA Released from active duty: 21 Feb 1919, Rank at reporting: M. M. 2 C. (machinist 2nd class); rank at discharge: same Compensation to be mailed to Vivian Peabody, Box 81, Winslow, WA Fred Grow signed affidavit attesting to the accuracy of Hector's application That Hector enlisted in Evanston Illinois and was living in Oakland, CA when enrolled raised question over whether he was in fact a Washington resident during his time of active duty service (see page 6). To address this concern the file contains an affidavit from Hector explaining the timeline and two certificates of Washington State residency. In his affidavit Hector states he "enlisted in the Naval Reserve forces, Aviation, at San Francisco, California, on July, 1918, he at that time having gone to San Francisco from Evanston, Illinois, where he had gone for the purpose of getting married, That at the time of registering for the draft he was in Evanston, Illinois, and therefore registered at that city. That after his marriage he went to San Francisco for a vacation trip, and joined the Navy at that city. That since he was eight months old he has lived practically continuously in Winslow, Kitsap County, Washington and that Winslow, Washington is his bonafide residence, and has been for nearly thirty years." ...Which is a lot of BS. Hector married Vivian De Vere Williams in Lake Co., IN in 1915 not 1917. He and Vivian stayed in the Midwest through at least Mar 1918, having two daughters, Vivian, born and died after three days in Jan 1917 in Evanston, IL, and June, born in Mar 1918 in Cleveland, OH. The Compensation Fund bought the lie. The file includes a record awarding Hector $105 for seven months active duty service. |
