Hello everyone, I have finished indexing the names for a new database for the Madeira Mamore Expedition of 1878 which involved constructing a railroad in Brazil by US engineers, contractors and laborers. The names are mostly PA, NJ, NY, DE, MD, WV and Ohio. My project started as a search for person named Philip BOWERS in my family tree who I finally found in one of the newspaper articles and my project since expanded into something much more. Since I had collected so much information I thought it might be a good time to share it with other researchers. The project consists of two web pages: 1) a source or reference page (bibliography) with links to where the names were found, and 2) the database of names to which it is linked You can access both at the web site below: http://web.rtmc.net/~bobmoyer/1878/sources.htm I you have a missing person from this time period you need to check the database, especially if they were from PA, NJ, NY, DE or MD. The names in the list are not currently found by searching the Internet or Rootsweb. Rootsweb support said the names will all eventually become indexed - indexing runs in two month cycles. Short Synopsis: The Disastrous American Expedition of 1878 that included the contractors P. & T. Collins (Col. George Earl Church) and the laborers who went to Brazil to build a railroad was also called the "The Railroad of Death" and a "railroad from no-place to no-where". It was estimated that a worker died for every sleeper that was laid in the jungle and the loss of workers was on a scale that rivaled the Panama Canal project. The purpose of this project is to create a database of names by transcribing newspaper accounts, books and other sources about the expedition. Careful attention has been given to separate these names from the later Farquar/Jekyll expedition of 1907-1912. Thousands of men from many countries lost their lives in both expeditions. I've read that many men kept diaries while working in Brazil and I have a few in my sources but I'm sure there are others. If you have anything to add I would welcome your contribution. Happy Hunting - please let me know if you find anything helpful. Sincerely, Bob Moyer Instructor, Ed2go - Genealogy Basics Researching the Pennsylvania names of Moyer, Rempp, Klug, Mattern, Magargal and BOWERS, the name that originally started this project.

You will please send us by return mail four copies of the Register, the money for which, will be handed you by our mutual friend, C.W. Davidson, of Steamer Telegraph. We should have been pleased to have sent you a larger list, but owing to some hocuspocus arrangement between the authorities at Columbus and the Provost Marshall of the 11th District, Ohio; our boys only received two thirds of their local bounty, how this happened I am not able to say, and we should all be pleased to find someone that is able to explain the matter to us. When we were mustered by the Provost Marshall, we were paid two thirds of our bounty and were told that the rest would be paid to us at Camp Chase, the men taking the thing for granted, that all was right sent their money home. At Camp Chase, we were told that the money would be paid at Nashville and we have heard nothing about it since--you will see at once why we have no greenbacks and why we can’t send you a better list, if the boys had! money, we could as easily take thirty or forty copies as four. It is with sadness that we chronicle the death of two of our men, George G. Pemberton, of Fayette Township and George W. Webb of South Point; the former left Camp Chase, unwell and only came to Nashville, where he died of brain fever, after an illness of six days. He leaves a wife and several children to mourn his loss. Webb died last Thursday night, in the hospital at Murfeesboro, of measles. He was a single man—we buried him in the Cemetery near town, on Friday, with military honors; both were kind obliging men and we feel their loss keenly. Quite a number of our Company are sick, mostly with measles. Our notions of the climate of the “sunny South” have been considerably modified since coming to Tennessee. We supposed the climate here was much more mild than in Southern Ohio, but if this spring is a criterion, I very much prefer the climate of Lawrence County. It has been clear and dry nearly every day since we have been here, but each day we have had a severe chilling wind from the North, that cuts equal to the winds on the western prairies, at night it is still and cold; but notwithstanding the cool dry winds and frosty nights, the peach and plum trees are in full bloom and some of the forest trees show signs of putting on their leafy green, the natives tell us that the season is not as early as common, by nearly a month.

Since it is time to celebrate Memorial Day once again, I thought you all might like to see this story of the first Memorial Day in Ironton. Ironton Register June 4, 1868 The ceremonies attending the tribute, which Ironton paid Saturday to her noble dead, who offered up their lives to save the nation from ruin, were so successful as to make the occasion one of great interest. There was no intention to render the formalities extensive, but the gratitude and appreciation, on the part of the people , for the heroic services of the fallen soldier, were relied on to fill up the interstices in the program. And right well everyone did his duty. The people deserve honor for their generous impulses in that direction. Not withstanding the hot day, the assemblage was large beyond all expectations. At one o’clock, both of the Brass Bands were filling the air with sweet strains. Everywhere, along the streets, could be seen the ladies and little girls, hastening with their bunches and wreaths of flowers, to the place of assembling. At an early hour, a large throng had gathered beneath the great trees in the Court House yard. The Public Schools marched to the place, headed by the German band. At half past one o’clock, Capt. McQuigg, Commander, G.A.R., called the people to order, when the following program was carried out: Singing—America –by the choir Prayer – Rev. J.M. Thomas Singing – Public Schools Remarks –Rev J.H. Creighton Music – Old Hundred by All The above order of exercises was carried out in a successful manner. The speeches of Col. Hawley and Mr. Creighton were interesting and impressive. The Dirge by the Union Cornet Band was a happy hit in the program. After the exercises, the procession formed. There were three graveyards and large numbers of people filled the processions to each. Kelly’s Cemetery. The burial ground smiled with all the beauties of Spring. Little flags had been placed over the graves of the fallen heroes, to mark the resting places. The procession to this spot was very large. The Union Cornet Band accompanied it. When the throng had gathered at the Cemetery, it was announced that there was no program for decorating the graves, but that all were permitted to follow their inclination, in offering their tribute of respect, to the fallen defenders of the country. No better program could have been arranged. Solemnly, but with full hearts and full hands, the ladies and comrades gathered around the graves and literally covered all with the choicest flowers. The willing hearts and active hands did not discriminate between those who had fallen with their armor on and those who died after Peace had returned again. The following is as nearly a correct list of the dead soldiers. B.F. Shepard, 1st. VA. Artillery. Amos McKee, Co. B, 2nd VA Cav. E.A. Thomas, Sgt. Maj. 2nd VA Cav. Edwin Davis, Co. G. 2nd VA. Cav. Brackson Reeves, Co. B 2nd VA Cav. Albert Harvey, Co. G. 2nd VA Cav Thomas Coles, Co. H. 91st. OVI William Parker 2nd VA Cav. R. Kirker, Co. B. 2nd VA. Cav. John Lounz James Neal, 4th VA Inf. Edward Johns, Co. A, 5th. VA Inf. Joseph Winters, 22nd. KY Inf. Mr. Day Col. Kingsbury, Sheridan’s Adjt. General Col. Allen, 2nd VA Cav. Catholic Cemetery The throng that went to this Cemetery was very large. The exercises were the same as at Kelly’s –the heroic dead at this cemetery are: John Dundan, 2nd VA Cav Mathias Miller, 2nd VA. Cav. Edward Doren, 2nd. VA Cav. John Irwin, 2nd VA Cav. E. Killian, 2nd. KY Inf. Clement Elberfilse At Henry’s Cemetery Remarks were made by Capt. George and Judge Golden and prayer was offered by JW. Dillon. The throng joined in singing “Old Hundred”. The comrades then places the flags over the graves of the fallen defenders, and the ladies scattered the fresh flowers of Spring with generous hands. The soldiers buried here are: Richard Lambert John Peterson, William Robinson Samuel Davey M. Seagar Jackson Williams Hamilton Smith Thomas McCormick. Identification of speakers at the Memorial Day parade of May 1868 Captain McQuigg – Commander G.A.R. Rev. Jonathan M. Tomas, Pastor Dempsey Chapel, 4th & Mulberry ( Pine Street Methodist) Rev. J.H. Creighton, Pastor Spencer Chapel (Later Methodist Episcopal Church) “Old Hundred” a favorite old hymn, well beloved by the Pilgrims. It is a rendering of the 100th Psalm by William Kethe, 1561. Col. Chauncey G. Hawley, 1st Ohio Heavy Artillery; served three years. He was a promising young attorney when he left to go to the war. He resumed his practice after his return. Captain John S. George, Independent Cavalry “veteranized and discharged with regiment”. Judge Golden: Probably Thomas Golden, deputy probate judge of the County and for over twenty years a Justice of the Peace. He was a son of early pioneer, Marshall Golden. J.W. Dillion: Rev. J.W. Dillon of Buriling. He was married to Julia Borders, only daughter of Judge Borders of Lawrence County, KY, in Catlettsburg, June 5, 1863. ________________________________________ PeoplePC Online A better way to Internet http://www.peoplepc.com
