Posted on: Hancock County, Il Query Forum Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Il/Hancock/1311 Surname: ------------------------- Hello List ... : ) I recently had the opportunity to transcribe the following text concerning the 33rd reunion of the Civil War's 21st Missouri Regiment, held in Kahoka, Missouri, 1920. Since everyone on the list has always been so helpful to me, I wanted to reciprocate by sharing these articles with the list. There are probably over 40 surnames listed through-out the different articles which, hopefully, will help someone else in their family research. The transcription is reproduced in the format which it was in when I received it ... hence, the surnames are not in alphabetical order, nor are they capitalized as they normally should be. Taken From: THE LAST REUNION ... The story of CLARK COUNTY'S CIVIL WAR VETERANS ... Book I (1990) ... Page 124 Clark County Courier September 24, 1920 REUNION OF THE TWENTY-FIRST MISSOURI (By Jasper Blines) The few survivors of the 21st Missouri regiment enjoyed Thursday and Friday in their gathering of the thirty-third period of the organization, held in Kahoka. Members were in attendance from different parts of Missouri, Kansas, Oklahoma and elsewhere. Captain Washburn presided as chairman and Ottawa, Kansas, was selected as the place of their annual meeting in 1921. Thirty-seven members of the regiment were present. Speeches were delivered by Comrades Lipper, Shaffer, Haines, Bell, Maltbeck, Cashman and others. Invocation by Rev. Newton and musical entertainment by Mrs. Angie Hume. The thirty-third reunion of the Twenty-first Missouri regiment volunteer infantry, brought together some forty members of the noted regiment of civil war honor and fame. The two days were times of recalling the years and the experiences of their services in the south, and with all the joy and good will which prevailed among the fraternal hosts, there was a sad reflection and a degree of sorrow felt as one recalled the large number of brave men who went forth and offered their services for the perpetuation of the American union of states. Time is reducing their numbers regularly, and the poet has portrayed the subject in a way all too true: Every year they're walking slower, Every year they're bending lower. Of all this large military district, which included Knox, Scotland, Lewis and Clark counties with additions from the adjoining counties of Lee [County, Iowa] and Hancock [County, Illinois], the Twenty-first Missouri was one of the chief regiments of all who defended their commonwealth in the early periods of the war, and when their homes were free from further danger, marched to the crimson fields southward. A study of the military events and leadership of this district including especially the years of 1861 and 1862, shows how fortunate we were in having a leader of trained qualifications and of genuinely loyalty. The demands of the trying hours were well provided for. David Moore came of heroic stock. He served in the country's war with Mexico, and when the southern uprising came some sixteen years later, David Moore was ready and in training for the most severe of all trials. He was an Arnold Winkelreid or a Sir William Wallace. He was an attainment of patriotism and valor which pointed to successful achievements. The elements of his sterling military composition were forcibly shown at the historic battle of Athens, Clark county on August 5, 1861, when the forces of disunion came down the incline of the little town on the Des Moines river in such a multitude as to overwhelm the few hundred of the union legions. Prisoners of the attacking army confessed after the conflict that their numbers were approximately eighteen hundred with two canon. Opposed to this avalanche were some few hundreds, perhaps one-third when compared to Mart Green's army. To open at once in a general engagement would have proven rash and weak, and when the attack came, Colonel Moore ordered his men to lie down and withhold their fire until the opportune moment. Moore's logic was to break their center. He said that was the real military logic of the crisis, and the only way to win. Here General Jackson's tactics at New Orleans were re-enacted and at short range Colonel Moore, in a voice of great vigor, gave the order to charge bayonets. This is an emergency appeal which inspires the attacked with amazement and horror, and the young and untrained of Green's companies were seized with fear and were panic stricken. And Athens and all northeast Missouri was saved as the insurgents fled to their homes or to the encampments of their friends farther south. * * * * * * * * The history of the Twenty-first Missouri regiment and its officers is a large record of brave leaders and great attainments during their long service from early 1861 on up to April 1866, for many of the troops were held in southern cities and districts a year after the cessation of hostilities. The companies were composed of volunteers from the counties of Knox, Scotland, Lewis and Clark, with a few recruits from Lee and Hancock districts. They went forth in a spirit of true patriotism and devotion to their beloved land. They offered their undying services and their lives. [Unclear] decomponse, pensions, rewards and glory were not thought of by those true Americans. * * * * * * * * The meeting in Kahoka was honored by the presence of Thomas P. Moore, the youngest son of Colonel David Moore. * * * * * * * * RESOLUTION Kahoka, Mo., Sept. 17, 1920. Whereas , on the 16th and 17th day of Sept., 1920, the 21st Mo. Vet. Vol. Infantry held its 33rd annual reunion in this city. The reunion was opened at 9 a. m., the 16th, by singing America. Invocation by the Rev. Dr. Kerr. His Hon. the Mayor Dr. C. E. Newton delivered a spelndid patriotic address of welcome and responded to by Comrade Joseph Morris, and whereas, we were favored by an inspiring address by Jas. H. Talbott, Mr. Thomas Moore and others, and Miss Minnie Owen and Mrs. Roy Hume who so kindly furnished the music. Resolved, that this association feels grateful and hereby extend our sincere thanks to all who so kindly assisted in making our reunion a success, and we especially desire to thank the Modern Woodmen for the use of their hall. Adopted, JOSEPH MORRIS M. CUSHMAN ALFRED CAMERON GEO. P. WASHBURN WM. P. LEEDOM Committee. * * * * * * * * One by one our comrades are passing away, regardless of medical skill, loving hearts, willing hands can do or say. Whether at home or whether abroad we all must pass to this our last reward. When they were young, whether great or small they responded quickly to their country's call and they did their duty and they did it well, as this united and properous country today doth tell, and as have passed away never more to return. The sympathy of each comrade goes out to those who were called on to mourn, and when the last soldier has been laid to rest, this would be their last request to a grateful country they sacrificed so much to save: On the 30th of each May they would strew flowers on their silent and lonely graves.

Best, brother-in-law of Thos. P. Moore, and kept with the regiment until the close of the war. Collark's association with the soldiers awakened a desire for an education. He worked for some Iowa farmers through the summer and in the winter attended school, and then entered the profession of teaching. Later he completed the course at a colored institution of learning.

Posted on: Hancock Co. Il Bios Forum Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Il/HancockBios/18 Surname: Albers, Ficken, Lange, Knoop ------------------------- Autobiography written by Claus Albers in 1889. The Albers family lived in north Benton County from 1839 to 1847. Claus Albers and my ancestor Peter Ficken married sisters Rebecca and Gesche Knoop. - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "I Claus Albers was born Nov. 25th 1817 Amt Zeven Kingdom of Hannover Germany. I was the eldest son of John Dietrich and Sophia Albers nee Lange, who were the possessors and owners of the old family homestead - the 'Hollenhof' a farm containing about 600 acres. My father moved to this country about 1853, came to Warsaw, Ills. and bought and resided on the farm now owned by Claus Henry Albers of St Louis. My mother died of consumption in Germany in 1834. My father died of dropsy in 1863 and his remains lie buried in the farm near Warsaw Ills. where my stepmother still resides with the Jagels family. I came to America in 1836. Rebecca Knoop my wife was born Dec 26th 1818 at Oldendorf - Kingdom of Hannover Germany. She was the second child of John and Anna Knoop who were half owners of the Bruemmerhof near Hollenhof. Rebecca Knoop came to America with her parents, brothers, and sisters in 1838. My wife's father died of bilious fever in Benton County, Mo in 1843. Her mother died near Versailles, Mo of dropsy of the heart in 1869. We Claus Albers and Rebecca Knoop were united in marriage 1839 in Cincinnati, and moved to St Louis Mo where I engaged in the grocery business for a half year and then removed to a farm in Benton County Mo near my wife's parents and brothers, where we resided about 8 years in the primitive fashion of the pioneers, in a log house first consisting of one room but soon enlarged to two. Here I shot turkeys from the door and deer from the farm yard. At this place in 1844 we united with the German M. E. Church, having previously been members of the Lutheran Church, and our house became a preaching station for the Methodists, until the little society consisting of about eight families built a log church on our farm. In 1847 we moved to Milwaukee Wisconsin & from there to Racine residing in each place only a few weeks. In racine our eldest child John Dietrich died of measles. We then moved to Nauvoo Ill - also in 1847 - travelling in a covered wagon drawn by an ox team. In Nauvoo I dealt in general merchandise and traded with the surviving Mormons - all of whom had not been driven from the state and whose magnificent temple was burned during our residence there. At this place our child Rebecca died - aged 9 months. In 1851 we moved to Warsaw Ill residing & doing a general merchandise business in the brick store on Main Street near the corner of Third St and there resided until the spring of 1863 when we moved to our present home on the bluffs overlooking the Mississippi. About 1854 I built a flouring mill on the site of the present Grace Mills having four runs of burrs and about 200 barrels daily capacity. In Nov. 1855 this mill was destroyed by fire. I at once began preparations for rebuilding, and having at this time practically no capital I named the mill "Grace Mills" because by the Grace of God alone could I hope to suceed. This mill was established in 1856 and had a capacity of 250 to 300 barrels per day. It was managed by me with the assistance of my sons, and at times with different partners with varying success. At one time I was worth probably $50,000, but upon the introduction of the roller system of milling about 1880 - not having capital to make the change my business steadily became more improfitable, and finally in 1883 I made an assignment for the benefit of all my creditors. The farm on Main Street about one mile from our residence, long owned by me and a preserver of my health was sold to Claus Henry Albers of St Louis, and my principal occupation since has been to care for & manage this farm. The mill being sold was purchased & managed by my sons Chas. & Wm. Edwd. who remodeled the mill to the roller system. The entire mill was destroyed by fire Jan. 1887 but was rebuilt the same year by the "Warsaw Milling Co." a corporation which now under the management of Chas. & Wm. Edwd. who own and control it. Written a day after our Golden wedding, when all our children except Sophia were present. Warsaw Ills. March 6th 1889 C. Albers Claus Albers, born Nov 25th 1817 at Hollenhof Amt Zeven Hannover, was the som of John Dietrich & Sophia Albers nee Lange & who were married 1810. John Dietrich was born at same place, was the son of John Dietrich Sen. and Margaretha his wife. Rebecca Knoop was born Dec 26th 1818 at Oldendorf Hannover - daughter of John Knoop and Anna Knoop his wife. - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- In 1839, John Knoop bought land east of Cole Camp, but in 1840 another site about 2-1/2 mi SE of Cole Camp, and it is believed this was their residence in 1840. Peter Ficken bought land in 1839, Claus Albers in 1840, and the three homesteads were about a mile apart. The 1843 death date for John Knoop is wrong, as his will was filed October 1842. His widow and sons joined the Albers family in Illinois, but later returned to Benton and Morgan Counties. The Knoop's also joined the German M. E. Church, but the other six families mentioned are unknown. The Ficken's became members of Monsees Lutheran Church.

Hi All, I want to take the time to wish all of you and your families a very happy Thanksgiving. I am doing a little better but may have to have back surgery. My Dorsel Column Stimulator (an implant in the spine that stimulates the nerves in my legs) has stopped working. They think it might have been pulled away from the spine in the car accident, and they may not be able to fix it. It is too old. 1989. Anyway I am just very thankful for the things I do have and the friends and family that I have met on this list. I hope you all have a very happy holiday. For those of you who are on the Rock Island and Hancock list. I apologize for you getting this message twice. All my love Shawnnee

I'm a little late on reading the digests, but I noted this message (below) re. the Youngs in Chili, Hancock. I don't know what the question was, but I have some info on this family, specifically the family of Henry A. G. Young, one of the pioneer families of Hancock County. Henry A. G. Young was b. 27 Jan 1820, Petersburg VA and d. 1884 in IL. He m. twice. First, he m. Abilgail D. Graw, 1840. Their children were Abigail, Julia, Susan, Mary E. and Henry W. Second, he m.

She being the eldest of all it fell to her to look after them and see that they were all taken care of while on the way to and from school. As we have known this dear woman from the time she was three years old we have a pleasant memory of her childhood days.

Summary taken from book: ZACHARIAH BARNETT was born 11JUN1785 in Westmoreland Co., VA d.11FEB1873 "Before 1820 Zachariah and Nancy moved to Spencer Co, IN they are listed in Census. On Dec. 20, 1838 he sold one-seventh of the 200 acres ( about 30 acres) that he had inherited from his father for $150 to his brother Morgan L. Barnett.

Shortly after her death Adrian, Eli Davis Walker and Jonathon Z. Barnett were making plans to go to California.

After returning to Walker Township, he went to live with his grandson and wife, George W. and Azelia REESE/BARNETT. Zach died 11Feb1873. The account of his death appeared in the Carthage Republican thus "Zachariah Barnett, a resident of Walker township for forty years,died at the homes of his grandson, George W.
