Hello All, I want to tell you all that Billy Baker is still hard at work for us! He has added another year to the Union City Times-Gazette obituaries. They now cover the years 1936-1941 - over 2025 obituaries. These obituaries cover a wide range of localities - many Randolph Co., Indiana residents, many Darke County, Ohio residents, some even in other states. Billy's contribution of this mammoth file to our site is really a plus for us. Billy, once again, thank you very much! http://randolph.dcoweb.org/UCobits/1941index.html Take Care and Happy Hunting! --Jane Barr Torres

Dateline Iowa By Register News Services 08/03/2003 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ CEDAR RAPIDS Web site owner charged with ID theft A man was charged Friday with identity theft and money laundering after a police investigation into two genealogy Web sites he ran. Elias Abodeely II operated the Web sites FamilyDiscovery.com and Genseekers.com from his home. Abodeely would take e-mail addresses of people who posted to the sites' forum pages, then send the victims an offer to become a member of the Web site for a fee of $19.99 to $59.99. The offer led victims to believe they had a five-day free trial period, but they were unable to cancel their memberships. Their accounts were already debited the fee amount. Cedar Rapids police arrested Abodeely after a two-year investigation into the genealogy Web site. He also faces theft and ongoing criminal conduct charges. Police said the investigation continues, and they expect additional suspects to be charged. --part1_77.165a5335.2c5e7acd_boundary-- ==== DEKENT Mailing List ==== NOTICE: Posting of virus warnings, test messages, chain letters, political announcements, current events, items for sale, personal messages, flames, etc. (in other words - spam) is NOT ALLOWED and will be grounds for removal.

His residence was listed as Spring Hill,IN when he enlisted. His name is misspelled in the roster as John Willianger. If you order his CMSR and pension records from NARA I imagine you would get some clues to the puzzle. Mark Davis One Hundred and Twenty-third Infantry INDIANA (3-YEARS) One Hundred and Twenty-third Infantry. -- Col., John C. McQuiston Lieut.-Cols., William A. Cullen, De Witt C. Walters, Majs., De Witt C. Walters, Irwin Robbins. This regiment was organized during the winter of 1863-64 at Greensburg, and was mustered in March 9, 1864. It left the state March 18, going to Nashville, where it was assigned to the 2nd brigade, 1st division, 23d army corps. It marched for Charleston, Tenn., from which place it proceeded with its corps for Atlanta. It was engaged at Rocky Face Ridge, its brigade facing a conical peak formidably fortified from its base to the crest, a detachment supported by the 123rd and the 130th Ind., charged and captured this position and drove the enemy into his works on Rocky Face Ridge. It took part at Resaca, repulsing a dashing charge; pursued the enemy, almost constantly skirmishing with his rear-guard, and acted in support of Hooker near Dallas. On June 9, its brigade was transferred to the 2nd division of the same corps. At Lost Mountain its division was ordered to dislodge the enemy, which was done under a furious fire of grape and canister, many prisoners being captured. Its division met and repulsed a fierce charge at Pine Mountain, inflicting heavy loss. Moving to position on the morning of June 27 at Kennesaw Mountain, the regiment drove the enemy into his intrenchments and held the position against repeated attempts to regain it, losing 6 killed and 40 wounded. Following the enemy the next day, it was in a constant skirmish and joined in a charge just at night that drove the enemy from his works and established a line far in the advance. Enroute for Decatur on July 19, its brigade, being in the advance, assaulted the enemy's position, captured it and drove him from the town. It was in the charge at Atlanta Aug. 6, where it lost 27 killed and wounded and was then constantly under fire until the 28th, when its corps joined the flank movement which resulted in the evacuation of Atlanta. During this campaign, the regiment lost 28 killed and 105 wounded. It encamped at Decatur until Oct. 3, when it joined in the pursuit of Hood's forces, moving as far as Gaylesville, from which place it moved to join Thomas' army at Nashville, moving to Chattanooga, thence to Columbia, Tenn. Sent down Duck River Nov. 16, a battalion of four companies under Lieut.-Col. Walters was stationed at Gordon's ferry, the remainder at Williamstown. The danger having passed the regiment moved towards Franklin. Finding itself in the rear of Forrest's forces, 15,000 strong, it succeeded in moving about his left without detection and rejoined its brigade without the loss of a man. It took part in the battle of Nashville and joined in the pursuit of Hood until Dec. 27, where it halted at Columbia, Tenn., and went into camp. On Jan. 3, 1865, it moved to Clifton, then embarked for Cincinnati and proceeded to Washington. From there it was ordered to Alexandria, Va., where it sailed for the Cape Fear River, landing and occupying Fort Anderson, on March 1. It next moved to Morehead City, thence to New Berne, and on the 3d toward Raleigh. The advance encountered Bragg's army at Wise Forks on the 7th. The regiment, with its brigade, was at the front in the severe battle that followed, the enemy's assault being repelled and he forced to retreat to his works. In two days' fight, its brigade repulsed a furious assault and made a successful counter charge. The regiment moved to Kinston and Goldsboro, where Sherman's army was met. On railroad guard duty until April 9, it then moved to Raleigh, thence to Greensboro and Charlotte, N. C., where it passed the summer, thence to Raleigh, where it was mustered out Aug. 25, 1865. The original strength was 1,050' gain by recruits, 20; total 1,070. Loss by death, 171; desertion 36, unaccounted for, 7.
