Notes for JAMES KNOX ALDERMAN:
Quoted from the Knox County, Illinois Genealogy & History Home News Histories, on the Knox county web site, "Center Prairie and the immediate neighborhood did not lack in patriotism as evidenced by the list of boys who wore the blue. Among them were ...John Case, James Alderman...Of these famous sons of Center Prairie and surrounding territory who fought in the army blue, only three, George Newberg, August Carlton and George Elliott are now living. Sad to relate that although Center Prairie showed her patriotism by sending so many of her sons to the front, there were those whose sympathies were with the enemies of a united people and who showed a yellow streak down the back by trying to avoid service. In this day we would call them slackers and to this day their descendents have never retrieved the disgrace of their forefathers by offering themselves on the altar of Liberty when their country called. Thank God there were not many."
