Push to enlarge.

William Valmore Izlar.

Birth: May 13, 1840.
Death: Oct. 10, 1912.

He was the son of Julia Elizabeth Allison Pou and William Henry Izlar.

He married in Orangeburg District, South Carolina, December 28, 1870, Annie Adella Felder.

William enlisted as a Private in the Edisto Rifles at Summerville, July 20, 1861; reported on muster roll of December 31, 1861, as on extra duty in the Commissary Department; reported on muster roll of February 28, 1862, as present; on muster roll of April 12, 1862.

Spouse: Annie Adella Felder Izlar (1850 - 1932)

Children: Pauline Felder Izlar Bishop (1872 - 1940)

Burial: Felder Family Cemetery, Orangeburg County, South Carolina.

William V. Izlar wrote a book called: A Sketch of the War Record of the Edisto Rifles, Publ. 1914.  This book can be found on the internet.  This book not only gives the history of the Edisto Rifles such as battles and &c. but gives a lot of information on the men as well.

There were other Izlar's in this company as well, Benjamin P., and James F., and one or two others.  You can read about them in the book.  If you would like to learn more Benjamin and James Izlar and their family go to the site of ( Find a Grave.)

I found it interesting on what William V. Izlar had to say about their servants.

Many of the young members of the Edisto Rifles took with them to the army their negro servants, who not only waited on their young masters faithfully, but cooked their meals also. When in Virginia these servants stayed in the rear, with the "wagon train, but w^ould bring meals to the front every day.

I can only remember the names of those I mention below :

Donald J. Rowe's servant Caesa
Medicus Rickenbaker, servant Anthony.
William V. Izlar and brother, servant Sam.
Jude Robinson and brother, servant Cudjo.
Samuel J. Felder, servant Pierce.
George Elliott, servant Peter.
J. H. Hook and brother, servant Cephas.
Frank S. Inabinet and brother, servant Derril.
J. R. Kennerly, servant Wash.
J. A. Holstein, servant Toney.
Samuel Hall, servant Isaac.
Jefferson Stokes, servant Jim.

These servants were regularly rationed by the government the same as enlisted men. My boy Sam came to the front with rations as usual one day when it was comparatively quiet, but about the time
he reached the lines the enemy commenced a vigorous shelling. This was more than Sam could stand, and he made a hasty flight to the rear. He ran so fast that you could see the bottoms of both his feet in the air at once.

William E. Colston, Mosby Ranger.

William E. Colston was born in Washington, March 24th, 1839, but his early years were spent in Virginia, the home of his ancestors. He came to Baltimore about 1857, and was among the first to go to Virginia when the war broke out.

On June ist, 1861, he enlisted as a private in Company B, Maryland Guard, attached to the 21ist Virginia Infantry, but when the First Maryland Regiment was formed was transferred to Company H,
Capt. Wm. H. Murray, June i8th, 1861. In this company he served in all the campaigns and battles of the year, and at the battle of Cross Keys, June 8th, 1862, in Jackson s Valley Campaign he was desperately wounded, being shot through the body. He was permanently injured by this wound and disabled for a long time, but as soon as able to ride he was appointed Volunteer Aid to Major-Gen-
eral Trimble. General Trimble being wound ed and left at Gettysburg, Colston then volunteered into Mosbys command, and was killed in the night at tack on Harper s Ferry, January loth, 1864. He is buried in the Confederate lot at Loudoun Park with his old comrades of Company H, First Maryland Infantry.  A Memorial Room to him has been furnished in the Confederate Home at Pikesville, Md., by his brother, Capt. Frederick M. Colston.

Just "David", Massachusetts.

David is just like the hundreds of escape slaves and freemen and women of color who came to the Union regiments looking for work, many were turn away.  The luckly ones found work as servants for some of the Officers.  Some would cook for a company, others would drive wagons and some would do laundry work.  Some came as run aways and were looking for protection from their masters.  Many of the free colored were trying to earn as much money as the could to feed their family.  Most all felt it was their duty to help the union to free them from slavery.  These people of color were not soldies nor citizzens, but faced the many dangers along with the soldiers.  Some men of color would become friends with a white soldier which would last a life time.  It was not all dangerous, there was time for humor too, take this humorous story told by C. H. Masury, about David.

David, the "little contraband", came to us in 1862 at Ft. Cass as a servant. He scalded his arms in a camp kettle, having them badly blistered. When they healed, they came out white. He came to me and said : "If I scalded me all over, would I be a white man?"

David was of the First Massachusetts Heavy Artillery, formerly the Fourteenth Infantry.  No known last name nor what company he was servant in.

He was also put in charge of an ammunition train at Tenallytown, D. C, and delivered it safely to the Army, passing over the Blue Ridge, Snicker's Gap, and crossing the Shenandoah River.

The Farrier.

What is a Farrier?

A farrier is a person who trims horses feet and shoes horses.
They can also be used for overgrown pig feet and goat feet. The exterior of these special high maintenance feet is called hooves.

A farrier is a person who changes a horses horse shoes. In colonial times, the farrier would melt iron, and then fit it to the horses hoof after he had trimmed the hoof. Then he would let the metal cool and nail the horse shoe onto the horses hoof. The nailing didn't hurt the horse because they have no nerves in the area where the farrier nails the horseshoe in. However, the tender inside of the horses hoof including the frog, (which is a part of the horse's hoof) are very sensitive.

The following comes from the Library of Congress.

In 1777, the Farrier was paid $10, per month.

1858, A  petition of John Hatfield, praying for compensation for services as veterinary surgeon and farrier, under the command of Captain Ringgold, in the years 1839 and 1840.

In 1862, the Confedrates wre paying their farriers seventeen dollars, per month.

George Hight Virginia Militia.

HIGHT, GEORGE.Rockbridge, Dec. 3, 1832. Born in King and Queen, 1755. Removed while young to Amherst. In January, 1776, volunteered in Botetourt against the Cherokees, and marched under Capt. Gilmore to Crowd's Ferry, now Pattonsburg, thence to Long Island on Holston, where he remained till about 3,000 men had assembled under Col. Christian. They marched for  four weeks into the Indian country, destroyed five towns, and were discharged at Long Island. Enlisted in Rockbridge, Aug. 14, 1777, in Col. George Baylor's Light Dragoons to serve during the war.

In October, joined the regiment at Fredericksburg, remaining there five or six weeks, then marching to Reading, Pa., where he was inoculated for the smallpox. In February 1778, the troop marched to the Raritan, and next month to Valley Forge. Here the Fourth Troop, to which he belonged, commanded by Capt. Cadwallader Jones, was employed by Gen. Morgan in preventing the people of the county from furnishing supplies to the enemy and in watching the movements of the latter. In the action at Monmouth, affiant was under the immediate command of Maj. Clough, of Lee's division.  The regiment then proceeded to Hackensack, remaining there five or six weeks, then moving up the river. Sept. 23, it was surprised by Gen. Gray while asleep in barns. No quarter was given except to the Fourth Troop, all of whom were made prisoners, except affiant and John Walker, who escaped by getting in among the enemy. Col. Baylor was wounded and Maj. Clough was killed.

Next day affiant joined the remnant of the regiment and wintered at Frederick, Md. In the spring they were joined by the Fourth Troop, now exchanged, and by some new recruits. Col. William Washington now took command, and they returned to New Jersey, again being employed in watching the enemy and preventing trading with him. Near the close of 1780, they marched south, arriving near Charleston, S. C, in March, 1780. Shortly after, learning that Tarleton was on his way from Savannah to Charleston, Washington whipped him, taking sixteen prisoners, including a colonel and a doctor. But later, Washington was surprised and defeated at Alonk's Corner. The attack was so sudden that although the horses were saddled and bridled, there was not time to mount.  Affiant was captured and after being dragged about with the army of Cornwallis some ten daj's, was put into a prison ship till after the surrender of Charleston.

He was then placed in the barracks, there, but this being  inconvenient to the British, he was again put on board a prison ship and confined till about August, when he was exchanged at Jamestown, Va. At Malvern Hills he found Capt. Cadwallader Jones, and was sent on to Maj. Call of Washington's regiment, who was recruiting in Orange, Albemarle, and Goochland.  After the surrender of Cornwallis he was discharged in South Carolina, in the fall of 1782. Bartlett Fitzgerald, a comrade, certifies that in Grey's surprise Hight was cut down and left as dead.

Therron A. Farr.

CAPTAIN THERON A. FARR.

One of the men who well represented the character of the regiment was Theron A. Farr of Littleton. He was strong of physique, cool and intrepid in danger, not seeking hazards, but manfully meeting his duty, whatever the sendee to which it called him, quiet and unostentatious in demeanor, without reproach in habit and character, and faithful to the end. It was because the backbone of the organization was made up of such men that the Fifth New Hampshire Infantry was able to make a record in the War of the Rebellion which will give it a rank among the famous fighting regiments of the world.

Theron A. Farr was a farmer in Littleton at the breaking out of the war. His parents were Gilman and Philena A. Farr. He was born at that place, Dec. 29, 1839, and there he has always resided. His wife is a daughter of the late Marquis L. Goold, a prominent citizen of Littleton. They have two promising sons, Walter H., and Henry M. Mr. Farr's first enlistment was April 23, 1861, and for three months. Under this enlistment he remained some time at Portsmouth and its vicinity in various lines of duty. Without being sent out of the state, he was discharged with a large number of his comrades, who were not re-enlisted into the Second Regiment. Sept. 30, 1861, he enlisted as a private in the Fifth, and reenlisted as a veteran March 20, 1864, having then the rank of sergeant. Nov. 4, 1864, he was commissioned lieutenant, and Ma} r 1, 1865, was commissioned captain, but was mustered out June 29, as lieutenant. He won his promotion by hard work and faithful service. His abilities were not of the flashy kind but solid, like the granite among which his kindred have for generations dwelt, delved and built that good name which is better than riches. Capt. Farr is a wellpreserved man in the prime of a well ordered life, a useful citizen in community, and trusted among men of affairs and in official stations.
