Bob, >From "Shiloh Remembered" p. 16 "Pvt. Adam F. INGLE: Twenty year old Adam F. INGLE dashed behind a big tree as fire from the Rebels cannons hit it and left a mangled mess of debris. Despite the explosion it provided protection for him and his brother. Later he would show that same tree to a new blushing bride -- his bride lived until 1983 and drew a Civil War pension for his services in that war. Pvt. Adam F. INGLE was a member of Co. B, 4th Tennessee Mounted Cavalry when he fought at Shiloh, April 6-7, 1862. Until 1983, Mrs. Sara Rona INGLE lived quietly at her home in Bethel Springs. She was born September 3, 1895 and was only 22 when she married Adam F. INGLE in 1917. He was 75 years old at the time of the marriage and lived until 1927. Mrs. INGLE heard the stories of the Battle of Shiloh first hand. Her husband took her back to the site to show her where he had fought, including the place where the tree was blown apart just above his head. Adam F. INGLE was captured by the Rebels. The prisoners were detained in the home of a Southern family. He told how the Rebel girls would taunt the prisoners by singing Rebel songs. Later when the prisoners were freed they slipped back and tore up all the girls clothes that had been hung out to dry. Personal papers show Adam F. INGLE as a Private in Company B, 4th Tennessee Mounted Cavalry. On page 529 "Tennesseans in the Civil War" Part II, his name appears on the roster of the Union Army. According to the same sources information shows that the 4th Tennessee Mounted Infantry [sic] was made up mostly of the Union Guards of Memphis. The unis was comprised mostly of men from West Tennessee. The unit was instructed to report with their commander Col. J.H. BLACKBURN to Alexandria, Tennessee and take post at once. The unit was to exert itself to restore confidence in the people by destroying the guerillas that infested the area. All captured guerillas were to be turned over [to] the civil authorities, provided such authorities were available. Otherwise the guerillas were to be tried by military commission. The order was dated March 11, 1865. Adam F. INGLE's personal papers were still intact. His widow had a framed citation from President Lyndon JOHNSON recognizing her husband's military service to his country. Mrs. Ingle visited her husband's grave occasionally until she died. Once in a while she would see the little white Palastine Church that he donated land for." p. 17 Photo with caption: (Sorry, we tried to scan it but it's too dark and grainy) "Mrs. Ronie INGLE lived near Bethel Springs until her death in 1983. She was one of the last Civil War widows and drew a pension for her husband's service." You can write to: Banner Publishing Co., P.O.
