FROM CAIRO.
(Correspondence of the Chicago Times.)Cairo, Ill., June 29,
If the troops of this brigade are not paid off before the expiration of the three months for which they enlisted, a very large number of them will refuse to be sworn in for further service. A considerable number of them will go home anyhow, but the per cent will be largely increased by further neglect in the matter in question. Few of them, indeed, can communicate with their families or friends for want of three cents wherewith to buy a postage stamp.
At Camp Joslyn yesterday, Col. Cook's regiment, I learn, stacked their arms and declared that they would neither drill nor parade again until they got their money. Their wants, in a thousand ways, are exceedingly pressing, but not a single dollar have they to relieve them. The men became satisfied with fair promises however, and reconsidered their rather hasty determination.

The 52d, Col. Wilson's has gone to St. Joseph, Missouri, where they will spend the winter. Price seems to have frightened Halleck out of the idea of going down the river and so our brave soldiers must be distributed over Missouri to protect a people who will not protect themselves.
Notice: Oct. 22, 1862 issue Elgin's Weekly Gazette.
The 7th and 52d-Both these regiments were in the fight at Corinth. The 52d was badly cut up, not so bad however, as some of the others. Lieut., Col. John S. Wilcox was in command and we learn that he conducted himself with great coolness and bravery.
The 7th took a hand in when the bayonet charge was made upon the rebels after they had gained the inside of our breastworks. We do not learn that any of Capt. lawyer's company from this town were wounded.

(at Benton Barracks/St. Louis Nov. 30th 1861.
Dear Brothers
We arrived at our quarters in this city shortly after dark last night.
Leaving Geneva between one and two Thursday afternoon we arrived at Chicago without detention. I took dinner or tea at the Briggs house with the officers the men remaining aboard the cars which we did not change. We came from Chicago to Alton in three trains on the *a* of the first was attached a sleeping car for the use of the officers one bunk of which was occupied by your humble Servt.
The first two trains were filled with men and a portion of the baggage - the third by the horses and Cavalry company - the first two trains arrived at Alton about the same time and the passengers incredably transferred to the steamer David Talmer and at two o'clock started for St. Louis ** around at the levie at Four o'clock and then marched five miles to the barracks - the barracks are very extensive - I cannot give you a difficult idea of them as this letter a I have been two busy to make many observations - Part of the parade ground is enclosed within the line of barrack and much **o* of it outside. The deciplin is quite strict but as the boys had made up their minds to such that before commint here they will submit with good grace. My health is good some cold of course and my expectations have no reason to be less than they were. - I did not have time to see any of our folks in Chicago - I dropped Father a line from the Briggs House, - I wish you would send by Fulton, David Copperfield he expressed a desire to see some things of camp life and being a young man I esteem ** highly I will take him under my charge in the 52d.
You will find him quartered over the light stand in the bedroom at the Bank. As might be supposed I left my trunk at Geneva - I wrote to Fulton from Chicago to bring or send it along as quartermasters stores or say to Cora I recd the box of substantials sent to Geneva and fancied these convnenat and useful. John Hill T.C. Moore S. Wilcox Patton came with us - One case of the measles reported this morning and any number of colds - Another *e***** we were abliged to leave our sick men at Geneva, Ed Morgan appeared at our quarters last night he is looking well - Its reported the 36th are to be hear or are already here.
Just. Kennedy is also on the ground as a Leiut. of an Iowa company - John Hill I hear is figuring for the suttler ship of the Reg. Connire is here I dont know what he intends doing. Love to Corra the children & Friends.
Brother Jim
Afternoon 30th Sence writing the above the Cavalry have arrived all night. They were all night aboard the boat.

Note; A Suttler is a civilian merchant licensed to a regiment to trade with soldiers. A forerunner of the modern PX.
Authors Note;
John Hill would have been the 52d's second suttler the first having been arrested in Geneva before
they left in a ration scam to defraud the government.

As recorded on the Elgin Sexton's ledger: Occupation, Retired Merchant. Died March 25, 1907, 5:45 pm at 442 DuPage St. Aged 60/5/18. Cause of death listed as Heart Failure & Liver Disease. Undertaker retained, Bunker & Chambers. Physician, J. F. Bell. Permit #10964.
Obit; March 26, 1907 issue of The Elgin Daily News.
Oliver Ashel Hinsdell, one of the oldest and best known residents of Elgin, died last evening at his home, 442 DuPage street. Mr. Hinsdell took cold while attending the funeral of E. E. Hoxie, a comrade of his Post at Dundee, about two weeks since. From this a complication of disorders resulted which no one thought serious until the end was very near.
Mr. Hinsdell was the son of Ashel Bemis and Eliza Hanks Hinsdell and was born in Hanover, Cook county, Ill., Oct. 11, 1846. He was but a year old when his parents brought him to Elgin and occupied the old homestead on the corner of Chicago and Channing streets, which is one of the tow oldest houses in this section of the city.
With the exception of several years in Chicago, Elgin has been his continuous home since. His father, Ashel Hinsdell assisted in building the Elgin Academy and here Oliver received part of his early education which was continued at the Michigan university. for many years he was engaged in the furniture business, first with Thomas Thompson of Elgin in Chicago and then again from 1874 in Elgin as a member of the firm of Palmer & Hinsdell.
In 1882 he sold out his interests in his business and since has devoted himself chiefly to real estate. He had just completed the new residence on Chicago street now occupied by Rev. J. S. Kirtley.
Mr. Hinsdell was but 17 years old when on June 16, 1864, he enlisted in the 141st Illinois regiment, and though his time of service was short he has been one of the most enthusiastic members of the Elgin Post. During the last 15 years the infirmity of exceeding deafness has kept him from engaging in active business life.
His character was one of strict integrity and every relation of life he sought to remember the Golden Rule. The illness which brought his life to a close was the first and only serious one of his life. Such habitual health gave him a hopeful, genial temperment which always looked on the bright side. Detained by his infirmity from active participation in public gatherings his time was spent almost wholly spent in the home, which he greatly loved and where he in turn was greatly loved. On Feb. 19, 1873, he was united in marriage with Miss Harriet A. Starr, daughter of Humphrey G. and Harriet Wicker Starr, of Belvidere. Mrs. Hinsdell survives him with a daughter, Mrs. Eilon Louchelle Carlson, and three sones, Roy Starr and Arthur B., of River Forest, Ill., and Oliver Edwin, of Elgin.
The funeral services will be observed at the residence Wednesday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock, in charge of Veteran Post, G.A.R., No. 49. Dr. C. L. Morgan and Dr. J. S. Kirtley will officiate.

President of the Elgin Butter Co.
Obit; March 12, 1900 issue of The Elgin Daily News.
William H. Hintze, president and treasurer of the Elgin Butter company, died at his residence in this city at about 2:30 o'clock this morning from neuralgia of the heart. Mr. Hintze was in his 55th year. At his bedside when he died were his wife and son Frederick. The attack was entirely unexpected and it was impossible to reach any physician before death occurred. Dr. Jaeger and Dr. Bell arrived at the house just after the end came.
Mr. Hintze was down town Sunday and dropped into the Century club to chat a few moments with friends. He was feeling as well as usual and had no premonition of approaching death. He retired at about 10 o'clock, the usual hour.
He awoke at 11:30 and complained of feeling very ill. A sharp pain between the shoulders caused him much suffering until toward the last. He was conscious and intimated to Mrs. Hintze his belief that the end was near.
The news of his death caused a shock to all who heard it this morning. His was an active life, and his appearance in apparent health so recently as Sunday makes the ending of his career more startling. Prominent in the butter industry, in public affairs and in other circles he will be greatly missed. Of German birth he came to Elgin when a lad of seventeen, and had since resided here.
He leaves a widow and four children: Mrs. May Lane, W. D. Hintze, Frederick Hintze, and Caroline G. Hintze. At the request of the family a more extended notice is deferred till another issue of this paper.
The funeral notice will be given later.

Obit; Jan. 28, 1863 issue Elgin's Weekly Gazette.
It is our sad duty to notice the death of our young townsman, Theodore N. Hoagland, son of Abram Hoagland, who died in the Hospital of Keokuk, last week. He was a member of Co. C, 127th Regiment Illinois Volunteers. Among the many sorrowful narratives, his is all affecting one. Taken from his sick bed in camp by order of his Captain, to the cars, thence to Memphis, an inmate of a hospital in the last named city, and also at Holly Springs, brought back to Memphis, and sent on a steamer finally to Keokuk, to die. We can but sympithize with him in the loneliness and discomfort of those months of increasing feebleness and pain. That he turned for consolation to that Book, which reveals the face of Jesus, who is more tender than a mother even. We know that he forgot not the home, childhood prayer. That his father spent the day with him before the death struggle came. All this remains to comfort those who immediately loved him. His remains were bro't home, and the funeral services, attended by a congregation larger than the house, in the Brick Church Sunday afternoon. The Pastor sought to comfort the mourners from the words "Jesus wept," quoting at the close, those sweet words of the Scotch "Poem,"
"Last, receive thy kindred!
Earth take now thine own!
To thee this trust is tendered;
By thee this seed is sown.
Guard the preious tribute,
Ever faithful ******
Keep it all united,
Till the master comes."

Notice; Feb. 19, 1914 issue The Elgin Daily News.
Relatives and friends of Mr. and Mrs. Alonzo C. Hobart, who for many years made their home at 124 Porter street, in this city, will be shocked to learn that Mr. Hobart received a severe stroke of paralysis on Monday and that his death is hourly expected, Rockland, Mass., nearly two years ago and have been making their home there since. They had planned to celebrate their golden wedding on Wednesday and a large number of announcements and messages and little remembrances were sent by their large circle of friends in this city.
Mr. and Mrs. Hobart resided in Elgin for many years and until Mr. Hobrt's retirement he was one of the old employes of the Elgin watch factory. He came west with brothers of Mrs. Hobart, the late Nelson and Henry A. Groce and was engaged in the manufacture of boots and shoes for some years, having a factory on River street. Later he entered the employ of the watch company.
He was a member of Company F. Forty-third Mass. infantry during the Civil war and Mr. and Mrs. Hobrt were both prominent in G.A.R. and Masonic circles. He was a member of Monitor lodge A.F. and A.M. and of Veteran Post and Mrs. Hobart was prominent in the W.R.C. and teh Eastern Star.
Mr. Hobart is 70 years of age. Marshall Groce of Elgin is a nephew and Mrs. G. F. Stodder, a niece.
Obit; Feb. 23, 1914 issue of The Elgin Daily News.
Alonzo C. Hobart died at his home at Rockland, Mass., Sunday, aged 70 years.
He was stricken with paralysis on last Monday evening after all preparations had been made to celebrate the golden wedding of Mr. and Mrs. Hobart on Wednesday. He has lain in a comatose condition since he was stricken.
Mr. Hobart was among the best known and most popular of the old time employes of the watch factory and the departure of the couple from Elgin in the spring of 1912 to make their home in the place where their childhood was spent, was deeply regretted by a large circle of friends. Mr. Hobart had spent more than 35 years in Elgin, first as a member of a boot and shoe manufacturing firm and later as an employe of the watch factory.
He was prominent in G.A.R. circles and in the Masonic fraternity, and held many offices of prominence in both. He is survived by a widow.

FROM CAIRO.
(Correspondence of the Chicago Times.)Cairo, Ill., June 29,
If the troops of this brigade are not paid off before the expiration of the three months for which they enlisted, a very large number of them will refuse to be sworn in for further service. A considerable number of them will go home anyhow, but the per cent will be largely increased by further neglect in the matter in question. Few of them, indeed, can communicate with their families or friends for want of three cents wherewith to buy a postage stamp.
At Camp Joslyn yesterday, Col. Cook's regiment, I learn, stacked their arms and declared that they would neither drill nor parade again until they got their money. Their wants, in a thousand ways, are exceedingly pressing, but not a single dollar have they to relieve them. The men became satisfied with fair promises however, and reconsidered their rather hasty determination.

Obit; June 6, 1885 issue of Elgin's Every Saturday.
Hoyt--At his home in this city, Tuesday, June 2, at 2:55 o'clock p.m., of abcess of the bronchial tubes, Otis Hoyt, aged 47 years, 1 month and 24 days.
Otis Hoyt was born at Amesbury, Essex county, Massachusetts, April 8, 1838. At the breaking out of the rebellion he was in the employ of the American Watch Co., at Waltham. he enlisted in company H, 16th Mass. volunteers, was appointed sergeant and afterwards promoted to second and then to first lieutenant. He was in command of his company at the second battle of Bull Run, where he was severely wounded. During his temporary absence from the army he was married to Miss Mary E. Britton, in Boston, Aug. 1, 1863. His wounds gradually healed, though he never enjoyed robust health. After his recovery he returned to his regiment, was commissioned captain and assigned to Company C. He served three years in the army of the Potomac and participated in every battle in which that army was engaged during his service. He was mustered out at Boston in 1864. In November of the same year he came to Elgin and was connected with the National watch factory from the start. He was one of the first expert watch makers who came to Elgin. In 1868, in company with W. H. Cloudman, he went to California in the interest of the Elgjn Watch Co. He was there one year and upon his return left the company's employe, and for a short time was in the watch business in Cincinnati. In 1870 he left Ohio and went to Springfield, Ill., where he took an active part in establishing the watch factory. he was there eight years, the latter two years being superintendent of the factory. In July, 1878, he returned to Elgin and upon the retirement of Eben Hancock from the watch factory he was made foreman of the train room, the largest department in the establishment, where 360 hands are employed. Mr. Hoyt was on active duty, through in poor health, up to sex weeks before his death, when he was obliged to give up. for six weeks he had manfully struggled to overcome the disease which had caused him such long hours of suffering, but finally the will was overcome and he bravely met death. Mr. Hoyt was a director in the Elgin Loan and Homestead association, a member of the executive committee of the Sans Souci club, vice-president of the union club, and member of monitory lodge, A.F. and A.M. and of Veteran post, No. 49 G.A.R. He was a men of strong friendships, and though reserved, almost retiring, he enjoyed the love and confidence of a very large circle of sincere and devoted friends. In his family he possessed the qualities of a devoted husband and an affectionate father. He leaves a widow and tow sons, Willie, aged 14, and Otis, aged 12 years. it is comforting to those who knew and loved Mr. Hoyt to appreciate now that everything possible was done during his sickness to add to his comfort by his loving wife and his devoted sister-in-law, Mrs. D. R. Hartwell, and his many near friends, H. M. Britton, of Oswego, N.Y., general managed of the Rome, Ogdensburg and Watertown railway, a brother, of Mrs. Hoyt, his wife, and Mr. Charles Rogers, of Waltham, were with Mrs. Hoyt during the latter part of her husband's sickness. The funeral was held at the house Thursday afternoon and was largely attended, the Masons and Veteran post having the ceremonies in charge. Rev. J. Stewart Smith impressively conducted the service. The floral offerings were as fine and elaborate as any ever seen in Elgin. The pall bearers were Messrs, W. H. Cloudman, Frank Preston, A. F. Alden, James Kinehan, L. N. Jackman and Hiram Thomas.

Obit; May 22, 1913 issue of The Elgin Daily News.
Henry W. Hubbard, treasurer of the American Missionary society in new york and owner of the Hubbard block in Elgin, died of heart failure yesterday afternoon in a vault of the State Deposit company in the Singer building, New York city.
He had gone to the vaults to cut coupons and deposit bonds belonging to the society. When the body was found it was resting on a chair with the head lying on a table. It was evident that Mr. Hubbard had seated himself at the table and that life had fled while he was engaged in the work before him. Physicians who were summoned declared that life had become extinct an hour.
Mr. Hubbard was born in Elgin, May 17, 1844, the family home being at that time at Spring and Division streets. He was a son of William G. Hubbard who was a pioneer merchant, engaged in business at Chicago street and Douglas avenue. The family was one of the leading ones socially in Elgin and Mr. Hubbard was given every advantage of education possible. He prepared for college at Eglin Academy and took the law course at the University of Michigan graduating with honors in his class.
He was connected with a law office in this city and then went to Denver, Col., where he was connected with a prominent firm of attorneys for three years. His health had been delicate since birth and it was largely on account of his physical condition that he went west. He did not improve as expected there and returned to Elgin.
A short time later he accepted a position as instructor in Fiske university at Nashville, Tenn., and was professor of Mathematics in the institution several years. The strain of teaching again undermined his health and he was obliged to relinquish his work. This institution was conducted by the American Missionary society.
Thirty-five years ago he was selected as treasurer of the American Missionary society and took charge of the finances of that body. His work from the first distinguished him as a man of exceptional ability as a financier and organizer. He has continued in the position during all of the years intervening. The society has grown to be one of the foremost in the world and his fellow workers attribute success largely to his untiring efforts.
He was of a family of strong convictions and among the principles inculcated in him was the doctrine of anti-slavery. He was from the first an abolitionist and when war was declared was anxious to participate therein. It was not until the organization of the 141st Illinois regiment that he was able to pass the physical tests demanded.
This regiment was composted of young men of this city and vicinity and Mr. Hubbard enlisted. The regiment was detailed for duty in the north, greatly to his chagrin. He learned, however, that the 134th Illinois regiment was about to e sent to the front. A relative of his was captain of Co. F and with the co-operation of the late Judge e. C. Lovell and the late Col. O. P. Chisholm, he succeeded in securing a transfer. The 134the was at Columbus, Ky., at the time that Mr. Hubbard joined and they moved out at once on a long and exhaustive campaign of continued fighting. Despite the hardships and his impaired health Mr. Hubbard was able to do duty until the close of hostilities.
He was one of the first to become a member of Veteran Post, No. 49, G.A.R., of this city, and had kept up his connection with the organization.
He was early interested in religious affairs and became a member of the First Congregational church of this city when a youth. He was active in Sabbath school work and was a leader in the movement in Elgin. It was his custom whenever he was in the city to visit the school and deliver an address.
Mr. Hubbard was a member of the Elgin Commercial club, and his death was announced at eh luncheon this noon.
He was one of the organizers of the Y.M.C.A. in Elgin. He with the Rev. James Fairchild and others formed a socity soon after the close of the war and Mr. Hubbard was for several years the secretary. This association lapsed after he left the city but was reorganized later.
He was especially cordial to his old friends and associated who called on him in New York and it was apparently a genuine source of pleasure to entertain them. To these he explained that he was interested in affairs political and that he had been an active republican since the organization of the party. he had pronounced views on many questions that were not in accord with party but was a consistent member nevertheless.
He considered Elgin as his ultimate home and was a frequent visitor to relatives and friends here.
William Hubbard was an only brother. He left last evening for New York to escort the remains to this city for burial.
Buried at Bluff City Cemetery in Elgin, Ill.

It is needless to say anythinbg about that "old corner store," probably there will not be a man, woman or child here to-day, who is not acquainted with Wm. G, Hubbard. He is one of the fixtures of Elgin. All people want to know is, that he has resumed business, and is going on in the good old way. Go to the corner of Main and Mill streets and see your old friend.

Robert Ross Hunt, 87 years old, 108 Creighton avenue, a veteran of the Civil war, died at Sherman hospital at 3:05 o'clock yesterday afternoon, death being caused by shock and injuries suffered in a fall from a ladder, at his home, two hours before he was taken to the hospital. He had been making a minor repair to a screen and fell but a few feet, onto the cement driveway. Coroner H. J. Vierke, who made a personal inquiry, reported that Mr. Hunt's death was due to "Shock and concussion of the brain, due to possible basal fracture." The blow had rendered Mr. Hunt unconscious, a condition which continued until death.
The death of Mr. Hunt, who was widely known throughout patriotic and fraternal circles generally, leaves but eight living members of the local G.A.R. Veteran post No. 49. Mr. Hunt was commander of the post years ago.
Mr. Hunt was born in New York City on December 10, 1845, and had been a resident of Elgin for the last 42 years. During the first years of his residence here Mr. Hunt was superintendent of the Elgin Windmill company, and soon after was employed at the factory of the Elgin National Watch company, machine department, for 28 years, starting in October, 1892, and retired on temporary pension January 6, 1921.
He enlisted with Company F, 150th Illinois Infantry, under Captain Henry J. Allen, on February 27, 1865, and was honorably discharged, as a corporal, at Memphis, Tenn., on September 20, 1865. He was 19 years old at the time of his enlistment.
Mr. hunt had always taken keen interest in the affairs of the local G.A.R. post which he had served as both commander and as adjutant for many years. He was also interested in fraternal activities, and was a member of Monitor lodge No. 523, A.F. and A.M. and of the various higher degrees of Masonry, including the Cryptic Council, the Loyal L. Munn chapter, R.A.M., and the Knight Templar. In his earlier years he had been master of the Batavia lodge of Masons, with which he was first affiliated, he had also held leading positions in the Council and in the Chapter of the higher orders of Masonry here.
Surviving him are the widow; four children, Edward L. Hunt, of Detroit, Mich., Percy D. Hunt, Robert R. Hunt and Mary Bell Ryan, all of Elgin. Four grandchildren and six great grandchildren also survive him.
Funeral services will be conducted at 2 o'clock tomorrow afternoon from the F. R. Norris chapel, and at 2:30 o'clock from the Masonic temple, the rev. Sidney W. Powell officiating, the services to be in charge of Monitor lodge. Burial will be in the East Batavia cemetery.
