By Lloyd Bockstruck Published 08-19-1995 Some 1,733 people died in the Mexican War of 1846-48. Most of the bodies were never recovered. The few that were recovered were buried as unknowns in a cemetery in Mexico City that few Americans visit. During the Civil War the War Department took steps to prevent such practice from happening again. On Sept 11, 1862, the commanding officers of military departments and corps became responsible for the burial of the dead. If the death was at a hospital, burials were in a civilian cemeteries. When these filled up, cemeteries near the hospitals opened up. Those who fell in battle were normally buried near where they died. Unknown casualties were routinely buried in trenches, The gravity of the situation became apparent when the Union forces left Spotsylvania Court House without burying the dead. When arrangements were made a year later, only about 700 of the 1400 Union dead could be identified. In 1862, President Lincoln signed the act that created national cemeteries. When the war was over, it fell to the Office of the Quartermaster General to answer the letters from parents and wives of missing soldiers. Comrades ad friends also were interested in locating graves.Publishing a list if fatalities seemed the best way of collecting and sharing information and 27 volumes were published beginning in 1865. (here I skipped a paragraph) The Union surgeon general estimated in 1870 that there were 303,504 deaths. That figure did not include those who returned home to die and who, therefore are not included in any of the 27 volumes if the "Roll of Honor". It does indeed seem irreverent that the 228,639 named individuals could not be located without a painstaking page by page search because there was no index. some 125 years later this shortcoming has been remedied. Martha and William REAMY 's index to the "Roll of Honor" has now made the data accessible and restored to its rightful place as one of the important documents in our nation's heritage.

HI All, I am sending this out a bit early, in case any of you would want to use it as a learning tool as I am going to do. I have made a copy of this for each of my grandchildren on fancy old looking paper, and will have my Eagle Scout grandson to read it aloud and then have the rest of the family to tell us what they have to be thankful for. Tiz a bit of history.... Have a Great Thanksgiving! Jeannie <>< list mom George Washington: Thanksgiving Proclamation, 1789 Whereas it is the duty of all nations to acknowledge the providence of Almighty God, to obey His will, to be grateful for His benefits, and humbly to implore His protection and favor; and Whereas both Houses of Congress have, by their joint committee, requested me "to recommend to the people of the United States a day of public thanksgiving and prayer, to be observed by acknowledging with grateful hearts the many and signal favors of Almighty God, especially by affording them an opportunity peaceably to establish a form of government for their safety and happiness": Now, therefore, I do recommend and assign Thursday, the 26th day of November next, to be devoted by the people of these States to the service of that great and glorious Being who is the Beneficent Author of all the good that was, that is, or that will be; that we may then all unite in rendering unto Him our sincere and humble thanks for His kind care and protection of the people of this country previous to their becoming a nation; for the signal and manifold mercies and the favorable interpositions of His providence in the course and conclusion of the late war; for the great degree of tranquillity, union, and plenty which we have since enjoyed; for the peaceable and rational manner in which we have enabled to establish constitutions of government for our safety and happiness, and particularly the national one now lately instituted; for the civil and religious liberty with which we are blessed, and the means we have of acquiring and diffusing useful knowledge; and, in general, for the great and various favors which He has been pleased to confer upon us. And also that we may then unite in most humbly offering our prayers and supplications to the great Lord and Ruler of Nations, and beseech Him to pardon our national and other transgressions; to enable us all, whether in public or private stations, to perform our several and relative duties properly and punctually; to render our national government a blessing to all the people by constantly being a government of wise, just, and constitutional laws, discreetly and faithfully executed and obeyed; to protect and guide all sovereigns and nations (especially such as have shown kindness to us), and to bless them with good governments, peace, and concord; to promote the knowledge and practice of true religion and virtue, and the increase of science among them and us; and, generally, to grant unto all mankind such a degree of temporal prosperity as He alone knows to be best. Given under my hand, at the city of New York, the 3rd day of October, AD 1789 George Washington

I see Montgomery County has a Woodall cemetery. Does anyone have a list of who is buried there? My g-g-g grandfather shows up in the 1820 census (Clark Co. in 1810 and then Putnam Co. Indiana by 1830); I am trying to find out why he was there and the names of any other children he may have had. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Can anyone who might be kin to Katty Gray born Aug-1844 Myers, Nicholas County, KY. Daughter of John Harvey gray and Margaret E. Hopkins. Thanks for your time and trouble. Jim

Remember It's the soldier, not the reporter, who has given us freedom of the press. It's the soldier, not the poet, who has given us freedom of speech. It's the soldier, not the campus organizer, who has given us freedom to demonstrate. It's the soldier, not the lawyer, who has given us the right to a fair trail. And it's the soldier who salutes the flag, who serves under the flag and whose coffin is draped by the flag, who gives the protester the right to burn the flag. James H. Leggett Sr.

On this Veterans Day we would like to thank all of you for what you gave to this country for our freedom. We want you to know that you are appreciated. God Bless the Vets & America! Jack and Jeannie <><

NO.... I do NOT benefit from the sale of any thing listed on this website. I am only sending this as a research tool. Jeannie <>< list mom http://my.erinet.com/~fordnag/FordNagle.htm

A Soldier Died Today. He was getting old and paunchy, and his health was failing fast. And he sat around the Legion, telling stories of the past, of a war that he had fought in; the deeds that he had done in his exploits with his buddies. They were heroes, everyone. And 'tho sometimes, to his neighbors, his tales became a joke, all his buddies listened, for they knew whereof he spoke. But we'll hear his tales no longer, for ol' Bob has passed away, and the world's a little poorer, for a Soldier died today. No, he won't be mourned by many, just his children and his wife; for he lived an ordinary, very quiet sort of life. He held a job and raised a family, quietly going on his way; and the world won't note his passing,'tho a Soldier died today. When politicians leave this earth, their bodies lie in state, while thousands note their passing and proclaim that they were great. Papers tell of their life stories, from the time that they were young; but the passing of a Soldier goes unnoticed and unsung. Is the greatest contribution to the welfare of our land some jerk who breaks his promise and cons his fellow man? Or is it the ordinary fellow, who in times of war and strife goes off to serve his country, and offers up his life? The politician's stipend and the style in which he lives are sometimes disproportionate to the service that he gives. While the ordinary Soldier, who offered up his all is paid off with a medal, and perhaps a pension small. It's so easy to forget them, for it was not so long ago that the Bobs and Jims and Johnnys went to battle, but we know it was not the politicians with their compromises and ploys who won for us the freedom that our country now enjoys. Should you find yourself in danger, with the enemies at hand, would you really want some cop-out, with his ever waffling stand? Or would you want a Soldier, who has sworn to defend his home, his kin, and country, and would fight to the end? He was just a common Soldier, and his ranks are growing thin; but his presence should remind us, we may need his kind again. For when countries are in conflict, then we find the Soldier's part is to clean up all the troubles that the politicians start. If we cannot do him honor, while he's here to hear the praise, then at least let's give him homage at the ending of his days. Perhaps just a simple headline in the paper that might say, "OUR COUNTRY IS IN MOURNING, FOR A SOLDIER DIED TODAY."

A must for research, this is a chart that will let you know what year a person is born by his age on the census. jd <>< http://165.138.44.13/washington/CENDATES.HTM

Dear List, Sorry but the note added to James Gibson's stone entry should read: (husband of Gillie Anne (Peyton) GIBSON not WILSON see her father, Philip Peyton's will). There was a granddaughter of James and Gillie Anne (Peyton) Gibson, named Gillie Anne (Peyton) who married Dudley Boone (aka: Isiah) Wilson. The younger Gillie Anne was the mother of Esther (Wilson) Arnsparger of Paris, Ky. who copied the stones in this cemetery.

I have a list of burials in the James Gibson cemetery of the area of Jeffersonville in Montgomery Co., Ky., as copied by Esther (Wilson) Arnsparger in the 1940s. Since I have not seen this cemetery I cannot tell you just where it is. My handwritten copy is not too great as I was in a hurry when I copied it. Daniel P. Gibson Nov. 10, 1856 - June 26, 1922 Callie Wilson, his wife (could be Wilthshe, but I think it is Wilson) Aug 6, 1863 - Apr. 23, 1935 Gillie A. Gibson (This is Gillie Anne (Peyton) dau. of Philip & Eliz. (Hanks) Peyton) Nov. 27, 1814 - July 22, 1889 "To Live in Hearts We Leave Behind Is Not To Die" James Gibson (Husband of Gillie Anne (Peyton) Wilson see her Father's Will) Dec. 25, 1809 - Sept. 23, 1891 Sallie Dtr. of W. H. F. and Nannie Miller Born Nov. 15, 1878 Died Dec. 29, 1883 Elizabeth Wife of Phil. Peyton Born Apr. 19, 1793 Died Apr. 28, 1877 Morresar Mc Cormick b. 1885 d. 1907 (could the birthdate be 1835???) Elizabeth Gibson, his wife b. 1833 d. 1905 Bell, wife of Joshua K. (Woots/Hoots/Roots) b. Sep. 20, 1859 d. 1888 Sarah J. wife of Vincent Peyton b. Dec. 13, 1842 d. Oct. 26, 1870 (Sarah Jane (Gibson) died Casey Co., Ky.) Mary, Dtr. of J. and G. A. Gibson July 31, 1841 - Oct. 1855 Mary A. Hon (could be the dau. of Barbara (Peyton) Hon Peyton, sis. to G.A., or b. Oct. 3, 1850 could be the wife of Philip Hon, son to Barbara Peyton Hon Peyton d. Oct 7 (17?), 1902 There were stones at one time in this cemetery. Esther did say that she had to look for some of them as nearby individuals were using them as steps to their homes and to pull taffy. This search was done by Esther in the 1940s. Sincerely, Patricia Joan K. A., a descendant (note at the bottom of the list, GRAN SAM Gibson, Fort Woods outside of Camargo went to Lexington Camping Grounds to old well at edge of Lexington.) ( I don't know what this means, but James Gibson's parents were Samuel Gibson and Jane (Miller) Gibson.)
