"1892 Women in Law
Henrietta Hume Pettijohn Buck
Henrietta Hume Pettijohn was born in Columbia, Missouri to James Robert Hume and Sally Booth. She was the oldest of five children.
Henrietta Pettijohn first came to New Mexico with her family as guests of President Ulysses S. Grant. At the time Las Vegas, New Mexico was a bustling community on the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe railroad line. Sheep and cattle ranches spread from the mountains behind Las Vegas to the plains of Texas. The railroad brought people from all over to enjoy luxury resorts such as the famous Montezuma Hotel, which currently houses the Armand Hammer United World College of the American West. Henrietta Pettijohn attended the University of Missouri. She had established herself as a popular writer and incorporated her noble Scottish heritage into the setting of one of her three published novels, Cast Up by the Waves, Ettalle and Dorothy. Governor Prince once stated that Mrs. H. H. Pettijohn was “well known as a literary woman who has written a number of very acceptable works and that she was familiar with several languages. On April 15, 1892, Henrietta Hume Pettijohn Buck was the only woman to have been admitted to the bar of the Supreme Court in the Territory of New Mexico. She also served as an officer of the state bar association. Henrietta Hume was first married to Dr. J.B. Pettijohn and then later to Mr. Arthur P. Buck. Her daughter, Carrick Hume Buck, carried on the accomplishments of her family. Carrick Hume Buck was the youngest woman admitted to practice law in California in 1921, the first woman assistant United States district attorney in Hawaii, the first woman deputy city and county attorney in Honolulu, the first woman judge in the Territory of Hawaii and the first woman to sit on the Supreme Court bench in Hawaii.
THE HISTORY OF THE HENRIETTA PETTIJOHN AWARD
The Henrietta Pettijohn award was established by the board of the New Mexico Women’s Bar Association one year after the NMWBA was established in 1991. The board felt that it was necessary each year to honor an attorney, female or male, who had done an exemplary job that year of advancing the causes of women in the legal profession. The nominations over the years have included some remarkable attorneys in the state and the selection process each year has always been an exciting one. The recipients of the Henrietta Pettijohn award since its inception have been:
1992 Margaret Moses Branch
1993 Marcia Wilson
1994 C. Emery "Buck" Cuddy
1995 Justice Pamela Minzner
1996 Betty Read
1997 Justice Mary C. Walters
1998 Justice Carol Conner
1999 Elizabeth Whitefield

THE SCHAUFFLER COLLEGE OF RELIGIOUS AND SOCIAL WORK
RECORDS, 1887-1920, 1952(1966-80)-1980
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
BIOGRAPHY
The Schauffler College of Religious and Social Work was founded in 1886 in Cleveland, Ohio as a school for immigrant home missionaries to Bohemian, Polish, and Slovak populations. The school evolved into an institution of collegiate grade for young women of American and foreign origin in training for religious, educational, and social leadership. The school's founder was the Rev. Henry Albert Schauffler, D.D. (1837-1905), a former Protestant missionary in Turkey and Bohemia who came to Cleveland at the invitation of Charles T. Collins, pastor of Plymouth Congregational Church, to work with the Czech community. In October 1883, the Congregational Home Missionary Society appointed Schauffler to the newly created post of Superintendent of Slavic Missions in the United States under the auspices of the Bohemian Mission Board of Cleveland.
Henry Schauffler recognized the need to establish a training program for young Slavic women aspiring to become missionaries. He persuaded his future wife, Miss Clara Hobart (d. 1942), a teacher with long experience in the Slavic community, to establish a school for this purpose. The school began in the home of Clara Hobart's parents on 23 January 1886. In 1890, the Bohemian Bible Readers' School, as it was then called, moved into its own building; it now began to accept women of all nationalities. After Dr. Schauffler's death in February 1905, the school was renamed the Schauffler Missionary Training School. The Schauffler school and the Slavic Department (1886-1921) of Oberlin Theological Seminary supplied the young men and women who advanced the work of Henry Schauffler for the Bohemian Mission Board of Cleveland.
During the administration of Dr. Raymond G. Clapp, Principal from 1924-41, the school changed from a three-year training school to a four-year college. In 1943, Schauffler College was recognized by the American Association of Schools of Social Work, and in 1953, men were admitted. Under the leadership of George P. Michaelides (1892-63), the school transferred in 1954 to the Oberlin Graduate School of Theology where it became known as the Schauffler Division of Christian Education. The last students graduated in 1957. When the School of Theology moved to Vanderbilt University in 1966, the Schauffler assets reverted to the Ohio Conference of the United Church of Christ. An agreement between the Ohio Conference and Defiance College in Defiance, Ohio arranged for the Schauffler College to move there in 1967. Operation of the Schauffler programs rests with the faculty and staff of Defiance College, who work closely with the Ohio Conference, issuing regular reports to the Conference's Board of Trustees and meeting annually to discuss long-range programs. The teaching of Christian education under the Schauffler Program for Christian Education and Social Work continues today.

American Civil War Regiments Record, as seen at ancestry.com, states:
Regimental History, CONNECTICUT, TWENTY-EIGHTH REGIMENT C. V. INFANTRY.
WRITTEN BY LIEUTENANT-COLONEL W. T. BATCHELLER, LATE OF THE TWENTY-EIGHTH CONNECTICUT VOLUNTEERS.
THE Twenty-eighth was the last Connecticut regiment organized under the call for nine months volunteers. It was recruited in the Fourth Congressional District, and was
composed of only eight companies: five companies from Fairfield County and three companies from Litchfield County. Samuel P. Ferris of Stamford, a graduate of West Point, was commissioned Colonel, holding the office during the entire service of the regiment, and was a great favorite with the men.
The Twenty-eighth rendezvoused about September 15, 1862, at New Haven, and was in tents and barracks at Camp Terry about two months. November 15th the regiment was mustered into the service of the United States, and three days later took leave of New Haven and Connecticut by boat. On the next day, November 19th, the regiment went into camp at Centerville, on Long Island, for ten days only, as it broke camp November 29th, and six companies went on board steamer "Che Kiang," with a portion of the Twenty-third Connecticut, under command of Colonel Holmes. The two companies not on the "Che Kiang" were sent by steamer, and joined the regiment after many disagreeable experiences.
The "Che Kiang" sailed from New York on the 3d of December, 1862, and had a very rough passage, encountering a terrible storm off Hatteras, but reached Ship Island safely on the 12th. The regiment remained only long enough to recover from sea-sickness, and then re-embarked and sailed from Ship Island December 17th. On December 19th it landed at Camp Parapet at Carrollton, La., but remained there only for a short time, leaving for Pensacola, Fla., on the 20th, and arriving there on the 22d.
At Pensacola the Twenty-eighth made a long and pleasant stay. The various companies were quartered in houses abandoned by the owners when the Confederates evacuated the place. Drill and guard duties occupied much of the time, but the work was just about enough for health, and the salubrious winter climate added to make the sojourn of the regiment here memorable, and this the most pleasant of any of its stopping-places. Expeditions into the interior and along the coast were occasionally made, serving to break the monotony of camp and guard duty, and once in a while the cry of "Steamer coming!" would cause the boys to hurry to the housetops in order to catch a glimpse of the welcome visitor; but too often the cry was only raised by some practical joker. When the steamer came with the mail there was a busy time, reading the "news from home," and, until the steamer's departure, writing to friends and loved ones.
Pensacola was evacuated March 20th, and the Twenty-eighth moved to Barrancas and into tents. Camp duties were about the same here as at Pensacola, an occasional expedition serving to give variety to camp life.
May 10th the regiment left Barrancas by steamer, and on the 12th landed at Brashear City, La., and left there without regret on May 23d, arriving at Springfield Landing May 25th, and at Port Hudson on May 26th. While at this place, and until the surrender was made by the Confederates, the Twenty-eighth was continually under fire, and assisted in all the various siege operations and in the trenches. In the assault on June 14th it furnished one hundred of the two hundred and fifty men for the storming party or "forlorn hope." Its loss in killed and wounded was severe in this engagement. At the surrender the Twenty-eighth moved inside the fortifications and remained at this place until its departure for home on August 7th. Several died on the way home, having become enfeebled by the climate and by disease previous to embarking for Connecticut. The route home was via Mississippi River to Cairo, and thence by rail.
On August 28th the survivors were mustered out at New
Haven.

Regimental History, CONNECTICUT, SEVENTEENTH REGIMENT C. V. INFANTRY.
WRITTEN BY BVT. BRIG.-GEN. WILLIAM H. NOBLE, LATE COLONEL OF THE SEVENTEENTH CONNECTICUT VOLUNTEERS.
THIS regiment was almost wholly enlisted from the sons of Fairfield County. The appointment of its Colonel, William H. Noble of Bridgeport, and the order for its rendezvous as the county regiment at what is now the Seaside Park of that city, were made by Governor Buckingham at the earnest request of leading citizens of the county. The hour was dark, and there was desperate need of soldiers in the field. It was doubted whether the county alone could fill a regiment as rapidly as the whole State, but the men of Fairfield County took the risk. They pledged the Governor to have their good men and true as quickly at the front as any Connecticut regiment. Well did Fairfield County fulfill that promise.
Its Colonel was commissioned on the 22d day of July, 1862. Within thirty days the regiment could have marched to the front a thousand strong. To it, Norwalk furnished two companies, A and F; Stamford, Company B; Danbury, Company C; Bridgeport, Company D and parts of three others; Westport, Newtown, and Bridgeport made up Company E; Ridgefield, Redding, and Bridgeport, Company G; New Canaan, Company H; Greenwich, Company I. Company K was furnished mostly from Fairfield and Bridgeport. Every town of the county sent a squad of soldiers to the regiment, which was mustered into the United States service on the 28th day of August, 1862, and left for the front by rail on the 3d of September following.
Its departure was a rare scene of patriotic devotion and affection at parting. The date of its moving had become known throughout the county. On the 3d of September, from all its towns there thronged to Bridgeport, filling its seaside camp and the city, the kindred and friends of the regiment. They showered Godspeeds and blessings on their sons, and braced their hearts to the parting by pledges to keep all right and bright at the firesides of the county.
The regiment thought it was going straight "to fight mit Sigel," as General Franz Sigel, commanding the Eleventh Corps, Army of the Potomac, had by permission of the War Department early won the consent of the regiment to join his force. On its arrival at Baltimore, however, it found that city alarmed by raids of the enemy's cavalry, and the regiment was stopped by General John E. Wool, then commanding, and after a delay of a day or two was ordered to encamp as auxiliary to the garrison of Fort Marshall. This was an important earthwork and barracks just east of Baltimore, overlooking the city and harbor, and commanding a wide sweep of country.
Neither the work given the regiment, nor the duties imposed, nor their military association, were pleasing. It therefore sought, through its Colonel, a transfer to its original destination, Sigel's Corps. This action coming to the knowledge of General Wool so angered him that, late on the night of Oct. 14, 1862, he peremptorily ordered its Colonel to
have the Seventeenth Regiment outside of Baltimore before noon of the 15th, or take the consequences. At half-past eleven the next day, the regiment and all its belongings were speeding by rail to Washington. Arriving there at night, they were ordered next morning to Fort Kearney, one of the northwest defenses of the Capital. After about a fortnight at this fort, on November 5th a welcome order came for the regiment to report to General Sigel, at Gainesville, Va. His corps then held Thoroughfare Gap of the Bull Run Mountains.
On reaching Gainesville, the Seventeenth was united with the Second Brigade, First Division, of this Corps. This Second Brigade was made up of four regiments of Ohio men--the Twenty-fifth, Fifty-fifth, Seventy-fifth, and the One Hundred and Seventh. Later on, the One Hundred and Fifty-seventh New York was added, making, with the Seventeenth Connecticut, six regiments, which served through the rest of the war close together in Virginia, on Folly and Morris Islands, S. C., and in Florida. All were, either together or in detachments, in Florida under the command of Colonel Noble.
Soon after the Seventeenth Connecticut joined the Eleventh Corps, it moved to Hopewell Gap, in the same mountain range, thence after a fortnight to Chantilly, Va., and on December 6, 1862, it began a tedious seven days' winter march, through slush and snow, towards Fredericksburg, Va. The corps was held as a reserve to the advance of General Burnside's Army of the Potomac.
After the disaster at Fredericksburg, the Seventeenth spent its winter in camps at Stafford Court House, Belle Plain, and Brooke's Station, Va. All these posts were near landings on the Potomac and the railroad from Aquia Creek to Falmouth.
On the last of April orders were given to make ready to move with the corps (now under command of General Howard) in the disastrous campaign of Chancellorsville. This was the first telling work the regiment had faced. The weather was excessively warm, and before Chancellorsville was reached all had got into light marching order, and the road was strewn with surplus impedimenta. The Eleventh Corps crossed the Rappahannock at Kelly's Ford on pontoons, and the Rapidan at Germania Ford by a temporary bridge and by fording. On the field of Chancellorsville the Seventeenth was stationed near the extreme right of the line. Two of its companies were on picket in the Wilderness when Stonewall Jackson surprised and routed the Eleventh Corps, whose commander was two miles away at the Chancellorsville House. This was the first trial of the Seventeenth under fire. It lost in the battle (killed, wounded, and missing) 120 men. Lieutenant-Colonel Charles Walter was instantly killed. He had been captured at first Bull Run, and was only released from his imprisonment in time to receive the appointment of Lieutenant-Colonel of the regiment. Colonel Noble was severely wounded and his horse shot under him. Horace Greeley, on page 357 of his "American Conflict," singles out for commendation the hopeless rally of this regiment under Colonel Noble, in face of defeat and
retreat all around them.
After the withdrawal of General Hooker from this battle-field, the regiment and its corps rested near Brooke's Station until the Army of the Potomac began that following of Lee's
advance which resulted in the battle of Gettysburg. It reached that battle-field in the fiercest of the first day's fight. The regiment was pushed forward to the extreme right. Two of
its companies, as volunteer sharpshooters, were sent to its outmost flank. The regiment was struck by an overwhelming force, under Confederate General Gordon, at Oakhill, now Barlow's Knoll. Here it lost most of its thirty-nine men who fell in that battle. The entire number of killed, wounded, and missing in the action was 198. Lieutenant-Colonel Douglas Fowler was instantly killed; Captain Wilson French was severely wounded; Major Allen G. Brady was severely contused and disabled by a shell-splinter breaking the scapula.
On that Oakhill now stands the regiment's monument to its dead in the battle. Looking from Cemetery Hill northward over the field of Gettysburg, it is a conspicuous landmark. Around it sweeps the new military boulevard which is to encompass the entire battle-field.
Overwhelmed and repulsed by the superior force of the enemy, the Eleventh Corps retreated to Cemetery Hill. Here the Seventeenth in its brigade line was posted at its northern foot. This place it held through the next two days of the battle. Its position was many times charged upon, but the enemy neither broke through nor disordered its ranks.
On the 6th of July the regiment and its corps, with the rest of the army, began that following of the Confederate force which ended in its escape across the Potomac. It was several times close upon their pickets, and at Hagerstown, Md., was right on their breastworks, thrown up to hold off our attack while making ready to get over the Potomac. When the Union army, after two days' delay, advanced, the enemy had crossed that river. The Eleventh Corps soon after passed over on pontoons, and marched, rested, and renewed their tattered clothing, worn from Gettysburg. A few unimportant movements were made and several positions briefly held.
Early in August, 1863, at Catlett's Station, Va., the division (then Gordon's) was ordered to take rail for Alexandria and there embark for the Southern Department. The transports reached Folly Island, Aug. 12, 1863. The brigade under General Ames was soon transferred to Morris Island. It there saw the first gun fired in Gillmore's bombardment of Sumter, and its southwest wall battered into sand heaps. The regiment was many times, for several days, in the siege works approaching Fort Wagner. Two of its men were killed and several wounded. For two weeks, in and out of said works, the regiment was constantly under fire from Forts Wagner, Moultrie, and Johnson, and the batteries near Charleston. Shell and round shot reached nearly the whole of Morris Island. The regiment met here the Sixth and Seventh Connecticut, worn by long and hard service in this department. General Terry commanding these and other troops, was the next in rank under General Gillmore. He had made ready to assault Wagner in three
columns, when its evacuation over night was announced.
On Morris Island, before the fall of Wagner, the Seventeenth, with all the regiments of its division, had volunteered to make a night assault upon the walls of Sumter. But the claim of the navy to that honor relieved it from the chance of death or glory. Both might have been the outcome from such an assault.
After Wagner fell, until about February 23, 1864, the Seventeenth with all its division remained camped on Folly Island. A brief expedition to St. John's Island had been the only event. At that date an order came for Ames's Brigade to embark for Florida. The disaster at Olustee threatened to be followed up by an effort to drive our forces out of that
district. On arrival at Jacksonville, General Seymour, commanding, gave General Ames a division, of which the First Brigade was under General Hawley, the Second under Colonel Noble. After about a month without incident, the whole force at Jacksonville was broken up. All re-enlisted regiments were sent north to the Army of the Potomac; the Seventeenth relieved the Tenth Connecticut at St. Augustine; the Ohio boys remained at Jacksonville. From this time to the end of the war the Seventeenth's headquarters were at St. Augustine. One company usually garrisoned the old Fort San Marco; the rest were scattered on raids and at posts. The regiment had been but a few days at St. Augustine when all but that garrison were ordered to Volusia, seventy-five miles up the St. John's River, and to hold posts at Welaka and Saunders below. Right away these two out-of-way posts were captured, and their force of thirty-nine men and two officers were taken to Andersonville. The two companies left at Volusia, by pluck and strategy held on till relieved.
Soon after, General Gordon, then commanding Florida, placed in charge of Colonel Noble all the territory east of the St. John's River. This brought Lieutenant-Colonel Wilcoxson in immediate command of the regiment and of St. Augustine. Generals Birney, Gordon, and Hatch, who severally commanded Florida during 1864, sent the regiment and other forces under Colonel Noble on various raids through Florida. The results of these raids, though successful, were of no great military importance, but they subjected the regiment to the trying effects of the climate, and planted the seeds of lasting disease.
On the 24th of December, 1864, when returning across the country from a court martial at Jacksonville to St. Augustine, Colonel Noble was captured by guerrillas and taken to Macon and Andersonville, Ga. Lieutenant-Colonel Wilcoxson, thus left in command of the regiment, was, about Feb. 4, 1864, on an expedition to Bradock's Farm, on the South of Dunn's Lake, some fifty miles from St. Augustine, mortally wounded while endeavoring to escape from Dixon's Cavalry. At the same time Adjutant Chatfield was instantly killed, and thirty-two men and two officers and a lot of army teams captured. The men were taken to Andersonville.
From this time, the regiment served without any important occurrence through the winter of 1864-5, and the following spring to about June, 1865, when it was ordered to rendezvous at Jacksonville, preparatory to discharge and departure for home. The Seventeenth was mustered out at Hilton Head on the 19th of July, 1865.
Thus passed out of the service and into history one of those Connecticut regiments whose entire conduct and capacity conferred immortal honor on the State, and contributed so essentially to uphold the authority of the Nation.

Notes for Edwin Howard Buck, 20 Jan 1913 - 16 Jan 2003
Fact 1: Though Grace Leggett's book states Edwin had a wife, Edwin's obituary states otherwise..."His high school sweetheart died and Edwin never married." [Source: Obituary]
Obituary, Daily Star, The, Oneonta, Otsego Co., NY, (Nov/1/2003), online at this web site states:
"STAMFORD - Edwin H. Buck, age 90, of Stamford, N.Y., died Thursday Jan. 16, 2003, at Robinson Terrace in Stamford.
Mr. Buck was born Jan. 20, 1913, in the house across from Mama Maria's Restaurant, in Harpersfield, N.Y., the first of six children, born to the late Edwin Howard and the late Mabell Cornell Buck. His paternal grandparents were Edwin Howard and Jennie L. Tennant Buck. His maternal grandparents were Jesse McNeil and Etta Florence Clark Cornell.
He and his family moved to Davenport, where his parents had purchased a farm. Edwin attended District 9 and Parker School House and then Davenport High School where he was graduated in the Class of 1931.
His high school sweetheart died and Edwin never married.
During high school, he worked part time on neighboring dairy farms. Afterward, he worked full time for two years on the George Hillis Farm.
Edwin's four brothers left the family farm for military service in World War II. Edwin returned home and remained there, caring for his parents at home. His father passed in 1976; his mother in 1980.
There were ancestors who served in the Revolutionary War: Abner Buck enlisted as a drummer on Feb. 6, 1776. Private Frederick Mattice was taken prisoner in July 1781, Corporal Theophilis Howard, gunner, took part in the Boston Tea Party.
Edwin's ancestry can be traced to the 1400s to Adderbury, Oxfordshire, England. After coming to this country, many settled in Delaware and Schoharie counties through the years to his generation. His relatives included family names such as: Mayhem, Cronk, Shields, Peters, Gregory, Dent, Hartwell, Wilson and others.
After returning to work the farm with his parents, Edwin collected scrap iron, parts and other scrap materials. With the assistance of a shop instructor, he fashioned a sawmill. The mill produced lumber for building on the family farm as well as neighboring farms. His wood lot contained spruce, cherry, maple, oak, knotty pine, etc. The wood provided lumber and fuel, for heat and the cook stove. As he expanded his tool shed, he took great pleasure in building, turning out, bedsteads, cabinets, cupboards, tables, lamps and a beautiful case to house the works for his grandfather clock.
As his parents aged, he resigned the rigors of dairy duties and assumed the position of caretaker at Sexsmith Lake in Davenport, N.Y., until his retirement in 1988. The lake folks called themselves Edwin's Adaquetange Family. These included the Rode, Deodish, Griswold, Strout, Walker and others.
Edwin participated in dairy associations and was active in town affairs. He supported local and national charities. He was very knowledgeable and well informed. He had a decent library of interesting books on many subjects. He loved music and had a fine collection of records, and tapes, which he enjoyed for hours on end.
He could mend, darn socks, and sew on buttons. He was a great gardener. He canned and froze food from his garden. He picked berries and made jam and wine. Edwin tapped his sugar maples for making maple syrup. All these products he shared with others. He could single-handedly prepare meals, from a small dinner to a Thanksgiving feast with all the fixings plus homemade pie for dessert. Just ask Clyde Teeple.
With the aid of Bob and Bessie Mc Adams and Bob Merwin, Edwin was able to remain in his home on Buck Road until age and failing health compelled him to move into the nursing home. He was quite content there. He met volunteer Ed Lennon. They became good friends. Ed took him on many outings. They enjoyed each other's companionship. Ed was at his bedside when death came.
His brother Donald W. Buck and his sister-in-law Claribela Hart Buck predeceased Edwin.
He is survived by his brothers, George A. Buck of Ionia, Mich., Frederick M. and his wife, Ann Norberg Buck, of East Meredith, N.Y., Robert J. and his wife, Dianna Kees Buck, of East Wenatchee, Wash.; a sister, Mary J. Linhart Buck and her husband, Richard J., of Inverness, Fla.; and a sister-in-law, Lillian Reichard Buck of Live Oak, Fla. Also surviving are 35 second- and third-generation nieces and nephews, special nephew R. Fred Linhart of Harpersfield, N.Y., and many, many cousins, especially Catherine Kaufman White of Cornell Hollow.
Farewell Edwin, you were a wonderfully good, generous and kind gentleman. You will be missed.
Edwin will be laid to rest next to his parents in Evergreen Cemetery, Jefferson, in the spring. Internment will be private.
A memorial service will be held in Cornell Hollow later this year.
Memorial contributions may be made to Davenport Methodist Church, Davenport Fire Department and/or the Davenport Historical Society.
Funeral arrangements were entrusted to the Hall Funeral Home, Stamford, under the direction of William A. Tari."

Notes for Cornelius Bouck Shove, 8 Nov 1844 - 30 May 1927
"Progressive Men of Minnesota", Minneapolis, MN: Minneapolis Journal, 1897, p. 470, states:
CORNELIUS B. SHOVE.
C. B. Shove is of a family which traces its line for two hundred and fifty years, to the early settlement of New England. Alonzo Shove, father of Mr. C. B. Shove, was a manufacturer of boots and shoes at Syracuse, New York, where Cornelius was born November 8, 1844. Six years later the family moved to Manitowoc, Wisconsin, where the son passed his boyhood, and received the common school education available in a country village. When he was thirteen years old he entered a banking and insurance office at Manitowoc. In this position, which he occupied for eleven years, he acquired a practical training in business which fitted him for the responsible
position which he has since attained in the insurance business in this city. Mr. Shove's first experience in insurance was in 1868, when he entered the employment of the late J. B. Bennett, of Cincinnati, an old and successful insurance manager. For a while Mr. Shove was stationed at Macon, Missouri, as a local agent. When the Andes Insurance Company was organized at Cincinnati, Mr. Shove removed to that city, and was appointed special agent of the company. In this position he traveled widely and acquired a large experience in general insurance matters, and in the management of the company's affairs. Afterwards he was appointed state agent of the company for Iowa. The Andes was ruined by the great Chicago and Boston fire, and for several years he was engaged as special agent and adjuster of several companies. In the year 1878 he came to Minneapolis, and after a short time organized the Millers and Manufacturers' Insurance Company. This company was organized under a new law authorizing a combination of stock and mutual plans. It was something of an innovation upon established insurance theories, but has proved a complete success. The Millers and Manufacturers' Insurance Company commenced business on May 1, 1881. It is essentially a mutual company, distributing to such of its policy holders as come under the mutual agreement, the surplus of premiums paid by them, over the actual cost of the insurance. Mr. Shove has been Secretary and General Manager of the company since its organization, until a few years since he became its President. He is an inveterate worker, and enthusiastic in his business, and proud of the success of his company. In 1883 Mr. Shove was married to Mrs. Carrie A. Norton, of Chicago. They live at 1002 Hawthorn avenue, Minneapolis.
Notes for Samuel Matthew Cole, Dec 1814 - before 1880
William T. Cole states:
"After marrying, they lived in Penn Yan for awhile, then moved to Warren County, PA for a short time, then moved to Naperville, Illinois (near Chicago) in 1838, and then in 1854 they came to Iowa, settling on a farm in Cresco, New Oregon Township, Howard County, Iowa and running a hotel in the village."

Regimental History, ILLINOIS SIXTY-SIXTH INFANTRY
Col., Patrick E. Burke; Lieut.-Cols., Charles W. Smith, Andrew K. Campbell; Majs., George Pipe, Andrew K Campbell, David C. Gamble.
This regiment was organized at Benton barracks, St. Louis, Mo., during the months of Sept. and Oct., 1861. It was originated under the special patronage of Maj.-Gen. John C. Fremont and was designed as a regiment styled the "Western Sharpshooters," to be used as
skirmishers. Eight companies were collected three from Illinois, three from Missouri, and two from other points, in the states of Wisconsin, Iowa, Minnesota, Indiana and Ohio. The regiment was mustered into the U. S. service, Nov. 23, 1861, with John W. Birge as colonel and Benjamin S. Compton as lieutenant-colonel, and was assigned as the 14th Mo. infantry. A ninth company was organized and added to the regiment on Dec. 5, and on the 12th the regiment was ordered to the field, not being yet thoroughly organized or equipped. It was armed with the Demmick, American deer and target rifle, but with meager accouterments. The regiment moved by rail to Centralia, Mo., and camped upon the prairies. From Dec. 14 to 28 it was constantly engaged in fighting and skirmishing with Confederate
bushwhackers of Sterling Price's army. On Dec. 20 Cos. H and I had a brisk skirmish with Col. Keene's Confederate scouts. At daylight on Dec. 26, the regiment captured Columbia and two days later engaged in the battle of Mount Zion. During the month of Jan., 1862, it was scouting and skirmishing at Renick, Macon and Centralia. On Feb. 13 Cos. A, E, H and I were sent to the front at Fort Donelson and were soon engaged with the Confederate skirmishers, driving them back when three companies, A, E and H, directed their attention to a Confederate battery on the Dover road, which they soon silenced and kept it silenced during the three days' battle, the regiment being upon the front line every day. It was also engaged in the terrible battle of Shiloh and on April 20, a new company from Lima, Ohio, joined the regiment as Co. K Up to this time the regiment had been known as "Birge's Western Sharpshooters," but that name was now dropped and it was known as the 14th Mo. infantry. On April 29 it left camp at 0w1 creek, Tenn., and started on the siege of Corinth, skirmishing daily with the enemy. On May 2l it was in the battle of Phillips' creek, and on May 30 it entered Corinth. On June 1 it proceeded to Boonville, Miss., via Farmington, Danville, Rienzi and Blackland, and had a skirmish near Boonville. On Aug. 28 a portion of the regiment, with the 14th Wis., was sent on a scout to Bethel, Tenn., and engaged in two skirmishes with the enemy. It was in the heavy battle at Iuka, returned to Corinth on Sept. 21, and was engaged in battle at White House and Corinth, losing 19 men killed and wounded. On Oct. 5 it followed the Confederates to the Hatchie river and had a skirmish with them on the 9th. On Nov. 20, 1862, the regiment was changed from the 14th Mo. to the 66th Ill. infantry, by which designation it was thereafter known. During the following year it was engaged with the Confederate scouts and guerrillas at Tuscumbia bridge, Danville, Hatchie bridge, Rienzi, Ripley cross-roads, Boonville, Glendale, Jumpertown, Kossuth, Cartersville, Yellow creek, Seward house, Jacinto and Whiteside's farm. Skirmishing also occurred at Bluff creek, Waterloo, Lauderdale and Lexington, Ala., during Nov. 1863. By Dec. 23, 470 men had re-enlisted and been
mustered in as veterans. After a 30-day furlough the regiment returned to the front at Pulaski, Tenn., and during March and April, 1864, was engaged in scouting and foraging, with occasional skirmishes with the enemy. The regiment had the honor of opening the Atlanta campaign by driving Wheeler's cavalry, end a brigade of Confederate infantry through Snake Creek gap, and holding until night the hills of Resaca. On this campaign the 66th was under fire 12O days, being engaged in all the noted battles from Chattanooga to Atlanta, and lost 225 men in killed and wounded. On July 22 it was hotly engaged, its colors showing 65 bullet holes through them. It joined in the
movement to intercept Hood and was engaged in several skirmishes with the enemy until Oct. 24, when it returned to Rome.
On the great march to the sea it had its full share of battles and skirmishes with the enemy, being engaged with Jackson's Confederate cavalry late in November and it drove Cobb's legion through Wrightsboro, Ga. On Dec. 5 it destroyed a railroad bridge over the Ogeechee river on the Macon & Savannah railroad, and again had a fight with Cobb's legion. On the 9th the Confederates opened on it with a 2-gun battery but the regiment charged upon the battery, capturing a fine Blakely gun and 7 prisoners. At Eden cross-roads, unaided and alone, it defeated 980 Georgia militia, who fought behind breastworks. It joined in Sherman's campaign through South Carolina, participated in the grand review at Washington, and was mustered out on July 7, 1865, at Camp Logan, Ky.
