"If you can't get out of the way, " cried Zook, "lie down, and I will march over you. " Barnes ordered his men to lie down, and the chivalric Zook and his splendid brigade, under the personal direction of General Birney, did march over them and right into the breach. Alas! poor Zook soon fell, mortally wounded, and half of his brigade perished with him.

The subject of this sketch was born in Clark county. Illinois, May 24, 1841, and emigrated with his parents to Rock Grove, Stephenson Co., 111., in 1844. His time was spent working upon his father's farm in the summer months and attending district school in winter. It was thus equipped that the subject of this sketch answered Pres. Lincoln's call for 500,000 volunteers ; and assisted in raising the 3 first companies, viz. "A," "B" and "C," from Stephenson county, and sworn into the U. S. army Sept. 10, 1861. He was mustered into the service as Sergt. of Co. "B," on Sept. 14, 1861, at Springfield, Illinois, and did camp and drill duty.

He participated in the battle of Fort Donelson, Ky., Feb. 16, 1862. In the battle of Shiloh, Tenn., on April 6, 1862. he was severely wounded in the left arm and was furloughed home. Returned to his company and regiment at La Grange, Tenn., July 7, 1862. He participated in all the battles and sieges of his company and Regt., (except Fort Blakely, Ala.), until the close of the war. He was mustered out at Baton Rouge, Louisiana.

Dr. George P. Rex, 33rd., Illinois Infantry.

Push to enlarge.
Dr. George P. Rex was the Surgeon of the regiment, and proved a most skillful, able and efficient officer.  He was a student under the father of Gen. George B. McClellan, arid a graduate of Jefferson Medical College.   He was a good physician, and a bold and skillful operator, more conservative than most army surgeons, and many of the surviving wounded of the regiment have this trait of his professional character to thank for be ing still in possession of limbs which would have been lost had they been treated by a surgeon of another type.  He was an alert and forceful executive of his depart ment, always prepared for a battle or any emergency, and those who saw him at "sick call" or at the operating table, knew the right man was in the right place.

The doctor always had a small brigade out foraging for the hospital and his "mess", and I never knew the time when he was short of supplies for either. No matter how badly off we were for transportation, no matter about ammunition or quartermaster stores, "Angeline", a fat colored woman, the doctor s cook, had to be taken along in comfort and safety. I believe every successive commanding officer had a tilt with Surgeon Rex about transporting "Angeline". How ever, Angeline showed up at the end of every march, and she had not done any walking, either. Always ready to favorably endorse a discharge or leave of absence, I was sometimes led to think that if not inter fered with he would have the regiment on furlough half the time.

After the war the doctor s kindness of heart and well kept records were great aids to many men in secur ing deserved pensions. While he lived he was nearly always present at our reunions, making long journeys to meet the comrades he loved so well. Had we the pick of the whole medical profession, I doubt if we could have found a better surgeon or more devoted friend. Dr. Rex was the only officer in the Thirty-Third who served in the same rank from muster in to muster out. He died at his home in Reaville, New Jersey, in 1889.

General William E. Starke.

William E. Starke.

Birth: 1814
Death: Sep. 17, 1862

Civil War Confederate Brigadier General. At the outbreak of the Civil War, he was a successful cotton broker when commissioned Colonel of the 60th Virginia Infantry in 1861. For his conduct during the Battles of the Seven Days, he was promoted Brigadier General on August 6, 1862 and commanded a division at the Second Manassas. On September 17, 1862, at the Battle of Anti(etam, Starke was shot three times and died as a result of his wounds.
Burial: Hollywood Cemetery, Richmond, Richmond City, Virginia.

September 17, 1862.

Brigadier-General Starke, who a half an hour afterward advanced his lines to meet the infantry of the enemy, which was approaching. The infantry became at once engaged, and the gallant and generous Starke fell, pierced by three balls, and survived but a few moments. His fall cast a gloom over the troops. They never for a moment faltered, but rushed upon the enemy and drove him back. The struggle continued for several hours, the enemy all the while receiving re-enforcements, and the division, not numbering over 1,600 men at the beginning of the fight, having no support, was finally compelled to tune moment, Colonel Grigsby, commanding the division, rallied its shattered columns and joined General Early, and drove the enemy half a mile from the field, capturing many prisoners and covering the field with the dead and wounded of the enemy. After this repulse, the division was order back to a grove to rest and get ammunition, when in the evening it again advanced to the support of a battery, but did not again become engaged with the enemy.

Thomas Eugene Orton, Wisconsin.

The following information was taken from the Regimental History of the Third Wisconsin Infantry.
----------------------

Push to enlarge.
Thomas Eugene Orton, the son of Thilo A. and Nancy Collins Orton, was born at the village of Eaton in Madison county, N. Y., on the 21st day of October, 1842. He enlisted as a private soldier in Company H, of the Third regiment of Wisconsin volunteer infantry, on the 22nd day of April, 1861, at Darlington, Wis., the family having removed to Wisconsin in the fall of 1850. At the time of his enlistment he was in his nineteenth year. He was a splendid specimen of young manhood, about 6 feet tall, round and compactly built, with a splendid constitution and weU matured, and was, though young, capable of great endurance.

He joined the army immediately after the first rebel attack upon the flag, and from motives of the purest patriotism. He was not impulsive, but was convinced that his country demanded the sacrifice of the life and blood of many of her sons; and he threw his young life, full of hope and promise, into the breach. His reading had been very extended, for his age, and he judged intelligently the causes which led to, and the magnitude of, the struggle impending; and like a hero, without faltering or hesitation, governed by a sense of duty, which he never questioned, went forth to meet his country's enemies, in the terrible ordeal of war. He was a typical soldier, strong, supple, and enduring as steel; intelligent kni fearless. He knew his duty and had the courage to do it.

He was very soon promoted to non-commissioned offices, the duties of which he discharged with great credit to himself. At the terribly disastrous battle of Cedar Mountain, Va., fought on the 9th of August, 1862, in which nearly one-third of the entire Federal forces engaged were killed, wounded or taken prisoners, and in which the losses of the Third were, 108, ^mong them Lient. Col. Crane, who was killed in battle, Orton was badly wounded, receiving five bullet wounds. He was left upon the field, and fell into the hands of the rebels, the federal forces having retreated. He was within the rebel lines two days. On Monday, the 11th of August, he was removed by a detachment of Union soldiers, under a flag of truce, to within the Federal lines, and thence to a hospital at Alexandria. His sufferings for these two days, wounded, helpless, unattended, in the hands of the enemy, can hardly be imagined. He never, however,referred to them except to acknowledge kindnesses extended to him by the enemy during the time.

His recovery was slow, and it was not until the 28th of July, 1863, that he rejoined the regiment. In the meantime, in acknowledgement of his meritorious services, he was, on the 1st day of November, 1862, commissioned second Ueutenant; and, on the 20th day of April, 1863, first lieutenant; and, on the 3rd day of February, 1864, captain. On his return to the regiment he was assigned to duty in Company K, which company he commanded from the time he was commissioned captain until his death. In January, 1864, he was tendered a commission as first lieutenant in the invalid corps, then organized at Washington; but, true to his soldierly instincts, he declined it, preferring active duty in the field.

On the 2oth of July, 1864, near Atlanta, Ga., while sitting in his quarters, in the m.orning, with his portfolio in his hands, having just sealed and addressed a letter to his parents, a shell from the enemy's gun exploded only a few feet from him, inflicting injuries from which he died at 4 o'clock P. M. of the same day.

Thus went out a young life, noble and beloved; a voluntary sacrifice for the perpetuity of constitutional government in the new world. His ^ase was not different from thousands of others, occurring all over the North; but is, rather, one of a class which presents boldly the idea of personal sacrifice of life itself, for the good of othei-s, which actuated the men comprising the Union army. The extent of the sacrifice can only be measured, by the possibilities of the life, had it not been thus yielded up; and who shall determine the extent of such possibilities?

The noble example given by the best young men of the land, who freely gave their lives that posterity might enjoy a united country and free institutions, will never die. As the ages pass and unnumbered generations continue to enjoy the blessings which they purchased with their blood, their example wiU grow brighter and be more affectionately cherished. Whatever civilization or religion may hereafter achieve for the exaltation of human character, posterity will accredit the sacrifices made on the battle-fields of 1861 to 1865 in the United States, with having made possible the uninterrupted progressive evolution of the race toward its final destiny.
