Surnames: NYSEWANDER, CARLE, TROTTER, ANDERSON Classification: Death Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/lh.2ADE/2193 Message Board Post: Note: I am not related to any of these families--I am posting this to help others. from The Republican (Danville, Indiana)--issue of Thursday, January 2, 1919--page 1, column 2: THEY WERE COUSINS AND SONS OF COUNTY One Killed and One Wounded on Fields of France Captain Victor N. Nysewander, reported killed in action on November 4, was a former Hendricks county boy, a son of Prof. J.D. Nysewander, a former well-known teacher of the county, now living at Jonesville. Victor was in the second officers' training camp at Indianapolis, and received a commission as first lieutenant. Captain Robert Carle, of Oklahoma City, and Captain Clarence Trotter, of Indianapolis, cousins of Captain Nysewander, were also born and reared in this county, where they have many relatives. Captain Carle writes his mother that he went to the front October 3, and that he was on the front twenty-two days without undressing. No one can imagine how awful it was and how he escaped with his life when so many of his friends were killed will always be a mystery to him. He was with the 143rd machine gun infantry of the 36th division. Captain C.E. Trotter was severely wounded on November 1 while standing in his tent by his cot. A shell burst about twenty feet away and literally tore his tent, overcoat and the pillow of his cot into shreds. He was in the Rainbow division. These officers are nephews of Smith Trotter, living near Danville. Within the week information has come showing the thoughtfulness of Captin Nysewander. The letters tell of arrangements he completed by which he bequeathed $1,000 to be used in enabling a faithful girl friend to realize her cherished ambition to obtain a college education. He had arranged to give the money out of pay due him since last July, and in event of his death he had arranged that the money should be taken from his government insurance. Extracts taken from letters written by him while in this country and abroad add testimony to the unselfish motives that made him a martyr to the cause of democracy. In a letter written from Camp Travis, Tex., he said: "This is going to be a long war and if I ever get to France I shall be satisfied. I do not care whether I get back or not. We have to win this war, the world would not be worth living if we lost it, and it will not be easy." Through repeated and tireless efforts he succeeded in being assigned to duty in France. He sailed June 20, and landed in England July 1. An extract from a letter written shortly after his arrival abroad said: "But it was in England where we were to be treated as princes. The British are positively nothing less than wonderful, so kindly, so thoughtful and very anxious to be nice to us. Three of us for July 4, expecting of course, to pay reserved a table at the Carlton Hotel for it, but what could be more unusual, unexpected and pleasing to find that all had been paid for, that we were real guests of that very wonderful hotel." In this letter he added: "The people of France were not to be outdone. Never have I eaten such dishes as here and the people are among God's chosen ones. The very first town we made, while on leave, some of us officers stopped in a most unlikely appearing restaurant--but what dishes. All their dishes seemed to be seasoned by some art of magic and who would ever care to know nicer or more generous people? I shall never forget when the old proprietess proposed a toast to the union of France and America. It was old wine and rare and she insisted on treating us. "If you could only see where I am billeted. Four of the prettiest little children, three little girls and a boy. The father is an officer in the French army. The family has not heard from him for two and a half years. Think of it, and it is the same everywhere I have been, both in France and England. None is left bu the very young and the old. Every one has a father or brother in the war and if there are five brothers, then five brothers are at the front. If you could see this beautiful land and talk to its people you would take it as an honor to help them defend it." Captain Nysewander was the son of Mr. and Mrs. J.D. Nysewander, who reside near Jonesville, Bartholomew County. He leaves three sisters and three brothers, Joseph J. and Miss Phyllis Nysewander, of Indianapolis, Mrs. E.H. Anderson, of Mooresville, Rufus I. Nysewander, of Plainfield, and Margaret and Kenneth at the home of their parents.

Is there an index of Indiana deaths ca 1855? Or do you know what newspaper carried ca 1855 obituaries for Bartholemew and Shelby counties? I'm looking for the death of Eleazor/Eleazer Rouse, who was killed by a falling tree about 1855. Eleazor was married to Eliza McKee. Eleazor's son John Rouse married Sarah Crail of Shelby County in 1857. I've written Bartholemew County, but they do not have Eleazor's death record or marriage record. I have not written Shelby County yet, but plan to. Thanks for any help you can be. Lee Anne

Hi there, My affinity with both genealogy and architecture have led me to Columbus several times. The sculpture in front of the Library, called Library Plaza, is by world famous sculptor Henry Moore Of much Hadham, Hertfordshire, England. It stands 20' tall by 12' wide and weighs 5 1/2 tons. It was dedicate with the Library 16 MAY 1971. Several side notes: 1) there is a smaller version of this at MOMA in NYC. 2) The Library was designed by I. M. Pei. Bruce Snepp, Sawin, Hill, Compton, Rutan, Records

Can someone tell me the name of the "object" in front of the library? And, what is it? Are there anymore of these "wonders" around Columbus? thanks

I have not run across the Black name in my history, but I wouldn't rule it out, as there could be a marriage prior to the one I have. John Howell's father was Joshua Howell, who came from the Ft. Wayne area. I ran across my Howell information from one of the Quaker history books found in Bartholomew County Records in Columbus. There is an assigned person there who helps out people, like us, seaching those records. I have my material back at home in Florida, so I cannot recall the name of that person...sorry. Good luck in your searches, and if you find a connection, please let me know. Jack King

Mobley, stone mason, age 24 in 1861, is on draft list for Hawcreek Twp., assigned to 33rd Regt. Regiment list has him in Co. I, mustered in 16 Sept. 1861, discharged 23 Oct. 1862. Suspect he had been injured, as nobody else was discharged until the end of the war, unless something had happened to them. There is a monument in Newbern Cemetery to "those who never returned from the war" which includes a listing for J. Mobley. I cannot be certain this is the same person, but suspect so. Perhaps he died from war injuries before he could return to Bartholomew Co. For some reason, I also have a notation of Co. L, 21st Regt. for John L. Mobley--not sure why I have that. In any case, you can pursue the National Archive military record for John L. in the 33rd, and probably determine when he died from that.
