  • Tennessee Civil War Trails Program 213 Newly Interpreted Marker
    Tennessee Civil War Trails Program 213 Newly Interpreted Markers Installed as of 6/9/11 Note: Some sites include multiple markers. BENTON COUNTY Fighting on the Tennessee River: located at Birdsong Marina, 225 Marina Rd., Hwy 191 N., Camden, TN 38327. During the Civil War, several engagements occurred along the strategically important Tennessee River within about five miles of here. In each case, cavalrymen engaged naval forces. On April 26, 1863, near the mouth of the Duck River east of here, Confederate Maj. Robert M. White’s 6th Texas Rangers and its four-gun battery attacked a Union flotilla from the riverbank. The gunboats Autocrat, Diana, and Adams and several transports came under heavy fire. When the vessels drove the Confederate cannons out of range with small-arms and artillery fire, Union Gen. Alfred W. Ellet ordered the gunboats to land their forces; signalmen on the exposed decks “wig-wagged” the orders with flags. BLOUNT COUNTY Maryville During the Civil War: located at 301 McGee Street, Maryville, TN 37801. During the antebellum period, Blount County supported abolitionism. In 1822, local Quakers and other residents formed an abolitionist society, and in the decades following, local clergymen preached against the evils of slavery. When the county considered secession in 1861, residents voted to remain with the Union, 1,766 to 414. Fighting directly touched Maryville, the county seat, in August 1864. Confederate Gen. Joseph Wheeler’s cavalrymen attacked a small detachment of the 2nd Tennessee Infantry (U.S.) under Lt. James M. Dorton at the courthouse. The Underground Railroad: located at 503 West Hill Ave., Friendsville, TN 37737.

  • Johnson's History of Cooper County
    History of Cooper County Missouri by W. F. Johnson Pages 401 - 450 Fred G. Lohse (Transcribed by Laura Paxton) Fred G Lohse The general store of M Lohse & Son managed by Fed G Lohse is one of the old established and most successful business concerns in Boonville. A large room on Main Street is stocked with high class groceries, dry goods and feed and the Lohse store unquestionably carries the largest stock of goods of its kind in the city. Some specialties which have made this store famous throughout the country are its home roasted coffees, fresh made peanut products or butter and the Heinz products. The Lohse store sells more kraut than all other stores in Boonville combined and the store always presents a busy, hustling scene, the force of five employees being kept busily employed in caring for the large trade. Lohse and Son caters to the highest class of trade in Cooper County and makes a distinction in favor of quality of the goods sold rather than in the quantity. H. Lohse, father of Fred G Lohse, was born in Hamburg, Germany, in 1845 and immigrated to America in 1863 to escape military service in the Prussian army. He came to Boonville and engaged in the manufacture of lime, operating a lime kiln successfully until 1916. He married Carrie Stubbins who departed this life when Fred G Lohse was but a child. The children born to M and Carrie Lohse are as follows: Fred G. Bottom of Page 401 of this review; William, engaged in the automobile business at St Louis MO; Mrs.

  • QUANTRILL at LAWRENCE Side, with Only Wooden Markers to Note the Date of Their Death
    1 Knee Deep in Blood The art of war is simple enough. Find out where your enemy is. Get at him as soon as you can. Strike him as hard as you can, and keep moving. —Ulysses S. Grant BETWEEN THE WASHINGTON and Blue Townships in Jackson County nine miles south of Independence, Missouri, a small band of mourners made their way to the Smith Cemetery, a small plot of ground just east of the abandoned farm of Jordon R. Lowe. Darkness had al- ready settled in, and a slight rain was starting to fall. A Union picket nearby was sitting around a campfire, but no one made a move to inquire about the heavily armed men in the cortege moving ever so slowly down the dirt lane. The men were leading an ox-drawn wagon. Three small wooden caskets containing the bodies of three young girls were seen loaded in the back. Accompanying their cas- kets was a satchel of trinkets and dry goods the girls had earlier bought in Kansas City. There was at least a company of guerrillas escorting the pall. Also accompanying the group was a number of civilians, friends, relatives, and neighbors of the slain. Muffled cries could be heard coming from the wake following the wagon. The group had been quickly assembled. On August 13, 1863, Federal soldiers retrieved the bodies of the young girls from the rubble of their former prison and placed them in rough-hewed cof- fins. Early the next day relatives of the young girls rode to Kansas City and retrieved their remains from the Union authorities.
