Geddes; Lieut.Cols., James L. Geddes, John C. Ferguson; Majs., John C. Ferguson, Joseph Andrews. This regiment was organized in the latter part of the summer of 1861, and was mustered in Sept. Soon after its organization it went to St. Louis, from which place it moved to Syracuse, where it joined Fremont's army in pursuit of Price's forces and operated in southwestern Missouri, losing heavily through sickness. It returned to Sedalia in November and remained there until ordered to join Grant's forces in Tennessee the following spring. Col. Steele was appointed brigadier-general and Lieut. Col. Geddes succeeded to the command, Maj. Ferguson being commissioned lieutenant-colonel, and Capt. Joseph Andrews of Co. F was made major. The regiment participated in the battle of Shiloh, fighting 10 hours on the first day, repelling attack after attack, and, with the battery which it was supporting, inflicting terrible punishment upon the enemy. It was the last to leave the advanced line of the army, being surrounded as it attempted to withdraw and compelled to surrender. Out of 650 men engaged, it lost 64 killed, 100 wounded, and 47 missing. The 8th, 12th and 14th Ia. formed four-fifths of the little force that held back ten times its numbers at the close of the first day at Shiloh, giving Buell time to bring up his forces and snatch victory from defeat. Entirely cut off, they fought until they could fight no longer, and threw down their arms only to see many of their number shot down in cold blood after they had surrendered as prisoners of war. The officers above the rank of lieutenant were sent to Selma, thence to Talladega, returned to Selma soon afterward, three months later to Atlanta, thence to Madison until Nov. 7, when they were sent to Libby prison, Richmond, and were paroled a week later at Aiken~s landing. The lieutenants and enlisted men were sent to various prisons in Alabama and suffered the miseries and privations so common to southern prisons. A few of the 8th who escaped capture went into the "Union Brigade" a consolidated regiment rather than a brigade, and took part in the Tennessee and Mississippi campaigns, distinguishing itself at Corinth. The regiment was reorganized at St. Louis early in 1863 and made an expedition to Rolla, after which it joined Grant's movement upon Vicksburg. It took part in the battle of Jackson, participated in the assault at Vicksburg on May 22 and also in the siege. It accompanied the army to Jackson, and after the evacuation there engaged in the pursuit of the enemy. It then went into camp at Vicksburg where Lieut.-Col. Ferguson died of disease. A short march to Brownsville was the only movement of interest until early in November, when the regiment moved to Memphis, thence to Lagrange and Pocahontas, where it remained until ordered to Vicksburg to take part in the Meridian raid. Soon after that event most of the command reenlisted and visited Iowa on veteran furlough. Returning to Memphis, it performed provost guard duty during 1864 and the early part of 1865, its most notable work being the repulse of Forrest, who made an attack on the city Aug. 21, 1864, the regiment being assisted by the "Gray-beard" regiment from Iowa. Early in March, 1865, the regiment moved to New Orleans and proceeded to Mobile bay, where it took part in the assault upon Spanish Fort and captured several hundred prisoners. This assault was made by a brigade commanded by Col. Geddes. Maj.Gen. Steele, the former colonel of the 8th, won high praise for the manner in which he conducted his part of the siege of Mobile, and Geddes' assault on Spanish Fort was conceded to be the most brilliant performance of that campaign. The regiment moved to Montgomery shortly after and served until mustered out.

Notes for Benjamin Salmons Chapman: Benjamin Salmon Chapman was born March 28, 1850, the second of six children. He was little more than three years old when he joined his father in Vienna, NY, with his mother and brother Charles. On September 26, 1869, at the age of nineteen, Ben married Samantha Bratton at the Bratton home in Hinkletown, Iowa County, Iowa. Ben and Samantha had seven sons: William Edward Chapman, born November 18, 1870, Ernest Albert Chapman, born May 5, 1874, Clark Andrew Chapman, born January 29, 1877, Frank Henry Chapman, born October 4, 1878, Benjamin Irwin Chapman, born September 10, 1880, Walter Chapman, born January 21, 1885, Arthur Champan, born February 28, 1888. Ben had trouble with his eyesight, resulting in his not being able to read. Samantha had to read for him. Ben and Samantha moved quite a lot in those days. They lived first in Hinkletown, Iowa County, IA. Around 1870, about a year after their marriage, they moved to Chickasaw County, IA. They remained there four years, but then returned to Iowa County, IA. They then traveled by covered wagon to Saline County, NE. Ben bought a piece of railroad land in Saline County, NE for $1.25 per acre. He cleared the land, and began farming with his sons. It was hard work, but they managed to make a pretty nice farm. There were many droughts in those days, particularly in 1893 & 94. In 1896, there was a bumper crop. Ben bought up a lot of western land, perhaps for speculation. Samantha died November 27, 1922, at the age of 71, of an undetermined disease. Ben then married Anna King, but the marriage didn't last long. They were divorced soon afterwards. Benjamin died in his sleep November 21, 1934. It is presumed that Samantha and Ben are buried in Edison, NE. Benjamin Salmon was born in Upham, Cambridgeshire, England, March 28, 1850. He was one year old when his father went to America. He was little more than three years old when he joined his father in Vienna, NY, along with his mother and brother Charles. That seems to be the only facts known about his childhood. Owing to some deficiency in his eyes, he never was able to read or write. However, he was shrewd and, during his long life time, accumulated a considerable estate of western land. When Ben was nineteen years old, he married Samantha Bratton at the Bratton home in Hinkletown, Iowa County, IA - a town long since out of existence. The wedding was held in the orchard before a large gathering of friends and relatives. The recorded witnesses are his mother, Mary Ann Chapman, and Malinda Welch, a cousin of Samantha. Malinda loved to tell that Ben was so excited that he had to be reminded to put on his coat. They lived around Hinkletown for a few years, but they were not very content. They were married September 26, 1869. They moved to Chickasaw County sometime in 1870 where they remained three of four years but returned to Iowa County and there remained until the Spring of 1878, when they went by covered wagon to Saline County, NE. They took three sons with them - Willie who was born in Iowa County, IA - probably near Hinkletown, on November 18, 1870; Ernest Albert, born in Chickasaw County, IA, May 5, 1874, and Clark Andrew, born in Iowa County January 28, 1877. They made their way to the home of Henry and Malinda Welch, who had been there for some time, bought land and were well established. They stayed with the Welch Family for a time. There was a good harvest that year. Ben and Malinda worked in the field helping harvest the grain. Samantha did her best to keep the house going. She had three small children of her own; the Welch family was four, pretty well matching her own in age. She was a busy young woman. One of the Welch children was almost a twin for Clark and was less than seven months in age. That summer, Ben bought eighty acres of railroad land in Saline County, NE for one dollar and a quarter an acre. It was directly across the road from the Welch farm, and was raw land with no improvements of any kind. They put up a rude shelter for the time being and moved there in time for the fourth son, Frank Henry to be born there October 4, 1878. Though Ben was not fond of trees, he said in his later years that he left Iowa to get away from the everlasting wood chopping, he took a timber claim and set out trees in compliance with the NE Tree Claim Law, receiving credit for every tree that he set out. He planted fruit trees as well as shade trees. He never had much success with the orchard trees but the Cottonwoods did well. Some of those sprouts had become huge trees when his son Walter visited the old home in 1945. Ben made a good living on the Saline County land. He built a house like the one he grew up in, with the addition of a kitchen and pantry. He built a barn that was large for the times, and other small buildings as the need came. By 1892 the place was his own, he had seven sons. He became restive; perhaps he felt crowded. His son, Clark, said of his Father, "He bought a piece of railroad land and made a down payment. He bought a dollar's worth of sugar, one pound of chewing tobacco and had exactly three cents left. He had a wife and three children to provide for. He was a man of pioneer spirit, with a courageous woman beside him. Together they dug in, built their house, and wrested a living from the soil while they finished paying for the place." In 1891 he put a set of bows on his lumber wagon, stretched a wagon sheet over all, and set out with the intention of buying apples. He did return with some apples when he did came home after a long time. He had been out into the High Plains country and had bought himself another piece of land. His five oldest boys were vigorous young fellows and there was hardly enough room for them on the Saline County place which was, by that time, a thickly settled community. Out west, in Furnas County, NE, there was room to spare. He could have all the stock he could raise and his rambunctious sons would not be penned in. So, in the Spring of 1892, he loaded a carload of stock and household goods and went out there. He had five young boys to take with him. His eldest son, Willie, was home with his wife and small baby, and they went along. But, they were not happy there and soon returned to IA. The second son Ernest was gone somewhere and was never at home much after he was a teenager. Ben kept the Saline County land for several years but finally sold it and invested in more Western land. His was the common story of the prairie settler. In 1893 was a drought year, 1894 was worse, then it came back to a bumper year in 1896. There was drought through the years, prairie fires, blizzards and hail storms. They had their fair share of illnesses and other hardships, but they continued on and were one of the substantial families of Furnas County. Samantha died November 27, 1922, at the age of 71 years. She had been ill for a number of years with an undetermined disease. Ben missed his home after she was gone. He had been greatly dependent upon her since she was his source of information and did all his writing and reading for him. He traveled for a while, visiting relatives and friends here and there. He then married Mrs. Anna King, at Lincoln, NE, but it was not a happy marriage and he soon divorced her. He spent his remaining years with his son Ben, whose home farm adjoined that of his fathers. He died in his sleep, November 21, 1934, and was eighty-four years old. |

Notes for Emma Jane Chapman: Emma was born December 25, 1860. She was the fifth of six children born to Henry Charles Chapman and Mary Ann Salmons, and the only girl in the family. Emma was not musically gifted, but very talented in practical things, such as hunting, sewing, cooking, washing dishes, etc. Emma married Frank Hull, and they had three daughters: Nellie Maude Hull, Goldie Grace Hull, Lila Ethel Hull. Emma and Frank bought railroad land in Nebraska, near Benjamin Chapman's place, and set up residence. Frank built a home complete with outbuildings. Their house was a dugout in the side of a hill until they could build a more permanent house built. They became homesick, and traveled to Iowa to visit, but they soon returned home to Nebraska, and there they stayed until their deaths, Frank at 81, and Emma at 86 years of age. Following are excerpts of a letter that Henry Charles and Mary Ann Chapman wrote to their only daughter, Emma. The spelling was left intact. Letter from Henry Chapman to his daughter - the only one he ever wrote her. December 13, 1893 Iowa. Dear Daughter and Son - I thought I would scratch you a few lines to let you know that we are both well at this time as I hope This will find you and famely.

From Fred Chapman to Emma Hull, Sunday, 9 Febray 1894. Der Sister and Brither- I gess I will try and write you a fue lines to let you know That we are all well and hoping when these fue lines come to hand will find you the same. I don't know wether this leter will be long enogh to suit you or not, but I will put it in as a sort of ade to the last one I wrote. The wether is very nice here. I don't think I have seen as nice a winter since Washington crost the Deleware. Dipthory is Previling East of Greenvaly. 3 famleys hase it but with that exception helth is good. Of corse we have colds. You spoke in one of your letters about living on the fat of the land. Of course we have plenty to eat and ware but I never saw as hard times for farmers to pay there debts. Everything is so low they don't want to sell ther products, lots of su (e) ing going on and some of the farmers have gone to the Wall and more to follow. I have got most of my last faul wages standing out and cant colect it unless I sue the Partys but I will not dew that. Now, Emma, I have had a faint hint that you would come out and spend the winter with your brothers if you thought you would be welcome. Now I would like to have you to come and I think I can vouch for the rest of the boys. I have had company all winter from Nebraska and I haven't kicked enu about it. Of corse I have a small family, 10 in family seven of Dowis and Tom and his wife and child. We are milking 3 fresh cows and we have 7 head of cattle and 5 head of horses and 24 head of hogs. I sold 7 head of fat hogs and am feeding 6 more. I have about a hundred bushels of corn and 300 bushels of oats and fifty bushels of potatoes, and 5 dozen chickens and nine children, so you see we are rich. I think I will plant 80 acres of corn in the Spring. I have had Father and Mothers Pictures enlarged and I think they are good portraits, but I have not got them framed. I will send you the deed of that nine acres to sine if I can rase the money to pay for it. The boys here and Mother has sined it. Ben has not but he told me he would. I gave Mother 2/5 in the crib and fix the fences and git up her wood and lots of little jobs, of corse it all takes time. I must close for this time. From Fred O. Chapman, North English, IA County, IA. Again February 7, 1895 he writes - I want you to know today is a bad one. The wind is in the Northwest and it snowed yesterday and you can guess very easy that the snow flies. Well I saw in your letter to Mother that you wanted to know how I giting along with my family of little foaks, I tell you I don't spen very much money without I know where is goes; its hard scratching. I intend to Farm next summer but will have to hire a hand until harvest, as I have lots of work due to laying brick and plastering and I can make the price of three hands at the Trade. I will sow 16 acres of oats and 40 acres of corn. 16 acres of the corn will be planted on Mother's place. I have one 7 year old mare and one span of four year olds and one coin trotter. I have 3 sows for pigs and 3 cows. It is going to be tuf sledding to keep my hogs til l the crops will dew to feed, as corn is scarce and is worth 50 cents a bushel. Don't you think you could make as good a living in North English as you can in Tobias. As for the school. They have a good one the building cost 6 thousand dollars and I don't think rent is eny hier, about 6 dollars per month. Must close for this time, so goodbye for this time, F.O. Chapman |
