George Lowman died at his home, 98 Grace street, Sunday morning, of hemorrhage, brought on by over-action of the heart.
He had been suffering from heart trouble for some time and had suffered several hemorrhages. Sunday morning, at an early hour, he arose from his chair, where he passed the night, and went out on the porch. His wife heard him and hastened to his aid. He fell just as she reached him, and died almost instantly. People up-stairs heard him fall, and calling assistance took him into the house. Another neighbor is said to have refused to go for a doctor. A short time ago when the man had a hemorrhage, and when the man died, refused to get up and come to the assistance of the family.
The deceased was 46 years of age and had worked in the watch factory. He was a member of the G.A.R. And veteran post will take charge of the funeral, which will be held from the house, 98 Grace street, Tuesday afternoon at 4 o'clock. He leaves a wife and 2 children.

FROM THE 141ST.-We learn that the 141st, our pet regiment of "hundreddazers,' has gone into camp at Columbus, Ky., but how long they will remain there is with us a mere matter of conjecture. On their way down to Cairo, over the Illinois Central railroad, the heat was so oppressive that several of the boys fainted away. There have been two deaths in the regiment since they left Elgin, one, TIMOTHY HAYES, a private in Capt. Herrington's company, drowned while bathing in the Mississippi river, and the other, a Swede whose name we did not learn of Capt. Beech's company of the tremens. We hope to hear often from our 141st.
Notice: Aug. 24, 1864 issue Elgin's Weekly Gazette.
FROM THE 141ST,-We learn that our regiment of "hundreddazers," the 141st, are likely to smell gunpowder and see a speck of war. Gen Paine has been getting up an expedition to clear out Johnsons rebel raiders who lately invaded Illinois and took several steamers loaded with cattle, and the 141st were counted in, and left Columbus on Tuesday last to join Gen. Paine at Paducah. Large numbers of cattle and supplies have been retaken from the rebels by this expedition, and also many horses and mules of resident rebels. Late news reports that Gen. Paine has returned to Paducah.

Obit; Jan. 27, 1908 issue of The Elgin Daily News.
Henry S. Loomis, one of the oldest employes in point of service in the Elgin national Watch company, died shortly after 9 o'clock last evening. Death came not unexpectedly as mr. Loomis had been a patient sufferer for more than two years. He was obliged to resign his position some months ago. His illness became more acute a fortnight ago when it was necessary for him to remain in bed.
Mr. Loomis was born May 4, 1848, at Norwich, Conn. He received his education in the schools of the place and later gained a thorough training as a machinist. During the war of the rebellion he served with the Union army in a Rhode island regiment.
On coming to Elgin with his wife he took a position in the train room at the watch factory. Of recent years he had been in the machine room. His log residence in this city gave him a wide acquaintance in the factory, the Century club of which he was a member, Veteran Post, G.A.R., and the Modern Woodmen.
Brief services are to be held at the home in the Everett apartments, corner DuPage street and Park row, this evening at 7 o'clock when Dr. Charles l. Morgan will officiate. The remains will be taken to the former home in the east Tuesday, where the deceased is survived by three brothers and three sisters.
Interment will take place in the family burying ground at Norwich.

Sept. 27, 1862The musicians of the 36th Ill., now mess by themselves. There are 12 in the mess, 10 in 1 tent and the other 2 (Loveless the cook, and myself) in a small tent by ourselves. I have bought a nice little pocket Testament and have a knapsack, 2 blankets and a rubber blanket. We are to draw clothing today but when we will be paid off I don't know.

Oct. 31, 1862We remained in Bowling Green today. Troops are passing through all the time. The regiment was mustered in today for pay. Last night my new knapsack containing a double blanket, pair of socks, and one of those new shirts was stolen from under Loveless' head. However, I have 2 more blankets and a rubber and overcoat.

I have a small tent with Braman Loveless and he cooks for our squad. We being by ourselves read a chapter of the Bible every night. We now have prayer meetings 3 times every week.

Our convalescents and cooking utensils arrived today. Nine days from Chattanooga. The first train of cars from Chattanooga since the Rebels left here came up this P.M. We have had very pleasant weather since we came here. Our camp is on a hill so it well not be very muddy at any rate. My drum came up with the other things so I can practice once more. I expect my knapsack and everything else I had; shelters, rubber and blanket are gone up. All the letters I have saved besides fifteen or twenty dollars worth of shell work are among the missing. They may be found yet but it is a doubtful case. Had it not been for Loveless and Harpending I should not have recd. that box from home.

Quietly and peacefully, like a child lapses into slumber, Judge Edward C. Lovell died at 2:30 o'clock this morning at the family residence, No. 600 Villa street. He had been confined to his home since the first of last week by the same malady with which he suffered so severely last summer. Deceased retained consciousness until the last.
Judge Lovell was through an active life of nearly sixty years prominent in city, county and state affairs. He served in many official capacities in a capable, upright, and faithful manner, which won for him honor and esteem. He lived a kindly christian life and his demise will be sincerely mourned by scores of devoted friends.
At the time of his death, Judge Lovell was a member of the First Congregational church. He was a board member of the Elgin national bank, and of the Elgin Historical and Scientific society, a member of the Elgin academy board of trustees, of Veteran post, No. 49, Grand Army of the Republic, of the Illinois division of the Loyal legion and of the Century club. he was local attorney for the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul Railroad company.
Mr. Lovell was mayor of Elgin in 1877 and was city attorney during the years 1879 and 1880. He was elected a member of the board of education in 1876, serving three years in this capacity. In 1897 and 1898 he was president of the board. As member of the thirty-first general assembly, Judge Lovell served the state of Illinois and was most highly esteemed by his associates in Springfield, who were quick to recognize and appreciate his ability.
Twice Mr. Lovell was called upon to assume the responsible duties of county judge. He was first elected to this honorable position in 1882, and was re-elected four years later, leaving the bench in 1890. Since that time he has been actively engaged in the practice of his profession in this city.
Judge Lovell was born in Chicago july 18, 1842, and was the son of Vincent S. and Lucy Smith lovell, the former a native of Yorkshire, England, and the latter of Whitestown, Oneida county, N.Y.
Vincent Lovell, the paternal grandfather, was also a native of Yorkshire, England, and came with his family to the United States after the war of 1812, because of his admiration of American institutions. In his family were twelve children. His death occurred in Whitestown, N.Y., at the age of 70 years. Several of the children came west, among whom were the late John Lovell and William Lovell of Elgin. The maternal grandfather of Judge Lovell was Daniel Smith, a native of Columbia county, N.Y., of Welsh ancestry. He died in Oneida county, N.Y., at the age of 70 years.
The late Vincent S. Lovell, father of judge Lovell, came to the united States with parents at the age of 14 years and lived on a farm in Oneida county, N.Y. There he married Miss Lucy Smith. By this union two children were born, Edward C. and Vincent S., who died in December, 1892. The latter was a graduate of the University of Michigan and was a journalist for several years after leaving college.
In 1837 the father came with his young bride to Elgin, where he bought about 150 acres of land. On the death of her husband Mrs. Lovell took charge of the estate. A woman of fine education, she taught a private school in Elgin for some time and gave her sons her personal efforts. later, they attended the public schools, then the Elgin academy and finally entered the University of Michigan at Ann Arbor. Their mother's death occurred in Elgin in June, 1894, at the age of 88 years.
Since early childhood, Edward C. Lovell has been a citizen of Elgin. His life has been an open book, earnest, helpful, and sincere. During the Civil war, he enlisted and was commissioned adjutant of the 141st Illinois Volunteer infantry, and a few months after the expiration of that service was made captain of Company C, 153d Illinois Volunteer infantry, in which he served till the autumn of 1865, when the regiment was mustered out. A greater part of Captain Lovell's time while in the regiment was spent on detached service, chiefly as inspector general on the staff of Gen. N.A.M. Dudley, and later on the staff of Gen. John E. Smith.
Mr. Lovell was a nephew of Generals Morgan L. and Giles A. Smith.
Before entering the service, Mr. Lovell taught school for a time. Re-entering the University of Michigan in 1865, he pursued the prescribed course and in 1868 was graduated from the literary department. Years before this he had determined to enter the legal profession, and to that end read law with Gen. John S. Wilcox, and after completing his college course in 1868 entered the las department of the University of Michigan from whcih he was graduated in 1870.
He opened a law office in Elgin and engaged in practice. His merits as a lawyer secured for him the nomination for the office of county judge in 1882, and he was duly elected. Four years afterward he was again nominated and again elected. Leaving the bench in 1890, he resumed the active practice of law in which he was engaged up to the time of his last illness.
On June 30th, 1885, Judge Lovell was united in marriage to Miss Carrie G. Watres of Scranton, Pa.: Four children were born of this union, Gertrude Caroline, Lucy Coultas, Margaret Louise and Vincent Waters. The last named died in infancy. Subsequently the wife and mother departed this life and was laid to rest beside her infant son.
Colonel Watres, a brother of Mrs. Lovell, and formerly Lieutenant governor of Pennsylvania, was at the bedside of Judge Lovell when he passed away.
The funeral of Judge Lovell will be held Wednesday at 2 '.m. from the First Congregational church. Dr. James Chalmers will officiate. Veteran post, Grand Army of th Republic, and the Kane County Bar association will attend.

THE SURRENDER OF THE FIFTY-EIGHT ILLINOIS.
The surrender of the Fifty-eight Illinois was an involuntary affair. The Brigade of which they formed a part was surrounded on all sides by the rebels, who were subjecting them to a terrible fire. In this **** division was an Iowa regiment, the Eighth, we think. Col. Lynch of the Illinois Fifty-eight, proposed to the troops to form for a bayonet charge, and rushing upon the enemy cut their way through. His regiment seconded his proposal, but a printer of the Iowa regiment histingo (sic) a white "handkerchief on his bayonet waved it in token of surrender. Col. Lynch cut it down with his sword, the lieut. Conolen (sic) of the Iowa regiment however again raised the white flag, and said that while giving credit to Col. Lynch for his bravery, he felt it to be his duty to spare the lives of the men entrusted to his command, and he would therefore surrender. By this time the rebels had closed their lines so effectually around the division, that a surrender was inevitable, and the gallant men were marched off prisoners to the rebels. In this surrender was included all but about two hundred of the Eighth Iowa, four hundred of the Fifty-Eighth Illinois and part of the Twelfth Illinois, Col. Shortland.
Exchanged in Dec. 1862, the regiment reforms at Camp Butler in Springfield, Ill's.
Personal: Oct. 14, 1863 issue 2nd District Democrat.
Capt. D. Lynch, 58th is still confined to the house, but we are happy to announce that he is recovering as fast as can be expected under the circumstances.
It is difficult for the Captain to enjoy himself in the house, as he has for the past two years been on active duty in the field "amid battles stern magnificent array."

Article; March 16, 1888 of the Elgin Daily Courier.
A command of the Union Veterans' union was mustered in, last night, with twenty-five charter members. It is composed of good and true soldiers of the late war of the rebellion, and starts out with good prospects for success.
The command was mustered in by General George W. Eldridge, department commander, of Bloomington. The following officers were elected by acclaqmation: Colnel, George H. Knott;, lieutenant-colonel, Andrew Apple; major, H. Sweet; surgeon, William Dalton; chaplain, Thomas Jones; officer of the day, John Powers; officer of the guard, S.D. Chamberlin; quartermaster, Theo Schroeder; adjutant, D.J. Lynch; sergeant major, John Davenport; quartermaster sergeant, P. Murray; outside sentinel, H.A. Cochran; inside sentinel, E. Kent.
In this order none but veterans who actually served at the front six months and over are eligible, those who know what a soldier's life is: who smelt powder, heard the zip of the bullets, the scream of the shell, lived on hard-tack and sow-belly, and endured the genuine hardships of camp, field and march. It does not intend to antagonize the G.A.R. in any way.

Shortly after midnight this morning David j. Lynch breathed his last. His death had been esxpected for a long time. He had not been well for years--not, in fact, since he left the army, where he was wounded. He was born Sept. 22, 1841, at Rochester, N.Y., and therefore was in his 49th year. About the year of 1845 he came to Elgin. He married Margaret Clifford, sister of Eugene Clifford. In 1862 he enlisted in the army. He was captain of Co. I. 58th Illinois infantry, and was a gallant soldier, serving, we believe, till the close of the war. The gunshot wound received in the chest is considered the cause of his fatal disease, consumption. Five children are left--Misses Eca, Kate, and Mary, and Thomas and Frank. There is also one brother, Eugene, and two sisters, Mrs. Thomas Murphy and Mrs. Terrence Connor. The late General lynch was his brother. his father was the late Timothy Lynch. For many years the deceased carried on the grocery business in West Elgin, but for a number of weeks had been unable to be at the store. He was a brave soldier and made a brave fight against the inevitable during several weary years. The funeral will be held at 9 o'clock Friday forenoon at the house, 100 North crystal street, and at 10 at St. Mary's church. The deceased has been a member of the G.A.R. and later of the Union Veterans union.

April 10, 1863
I am well now and weigh 133 1/2 pounds. The boys are well suited with their commissioned officers, but A. B. Lynd who was wounded at Stone River and is now in Quincy, should have had First Sergeants place according to regular promotion. The other day our Chaplain and Dr. Pierce were each presented with a beautiful sword by the officers of the regiment in consideration of services rendered at the battle of Stone River.
Authors Note;
The 'A' vs. 'C' middle initial could be a transcription mistake so I am placing this here as I can find no other A. Lynd in the 36th Ill. yet.

Note; This one is a little tricky. The Elgin GAR Post #49 took on the duty of making sure that no soldier was left behind when the cemetery closed in 1906. By 1830 they thought that they had moved everybody. That said I can find no record of him being moved and he is not listed in the 1956 Kane County Honor Roll which should have recorded this. For the time being I'm going to let this stand.
