Schmidt James M. Redfield. The friends of James M. Redfield, the youngest son of our esteemed fellow citizen, Hon. Heman J. Redfield, will be pleased to hear of his safety. At the call of his country, young R., following in the footsteps of his father, who in the war of 1812 volunteered with knapsack on his back to fight a foreign foe,-like him, our young friend did not wait to procure a commission, but volunteered his services as a private soldier; being that time a resident of the State of Michigan, he joined the 4th Regiment of the Michigan State Volunteers, and with is knapsack on his back marched to defend the Laws and the Constitution of the Untied Sates, leaving behind him a young and loving wife whom he married only last March. We are informed that the Company to which our young friend is attached, was stationed between Centreville and Fairfax Court House, and is the same which made itself so useful in stopping our retreating and panic-stricken forces, and compelling them to turn back. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ NY-Old-News ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ NewspaperAbstracts.com - Finding our ancestors in the news!
