As the parade was formed the boys in blue noticed Gid Calvert and E. L. Wiseman, who were in the Confederate Army, standing on the walk on the side of the street, and the way Col. Wiseman puts it is that "the Yanks captured two johnnies right in town " How pleasing it is to see all the strife that once existed between the men of the north and those of the south now blooming in full brotherhood. No north, no south, no east, no west, but all one kindred of mankind " The E. L. Wiseman mentioned is my great grandfather, and is buried here in Crawford County, but I have never been able to confirm his Confederate service with National Archives, although hope to be able to do so someday.
