O., Jan. 18, 1865, upon charges of neglect of duty and mismanagement in the affair in which he was captured; dismissal revoked by order of the President, S. O. 453, war Dep., A. G. O., Aug. 23, 1865, upon a report of the Judge Advocate General, and honorably discharged as of the date of the order of dismissal. Prisoner from time of capture to end of the war. Served with the regt. in the field until captured.

How Captain Eldred Huff Was Captured

Huff's advance-guard (a corporal and four men) had just reached the top of a small hill when they ware observed to fire a few shots and disappear down the road on the other side. Huff hastily assumed that there were rebels in front, and he hurried his men forward at a run. The stranger troops did the same, but when they reached the open space they rode across it at great speed, toward the Iowa men.

Huff says ,he thought they meant to get his road and reach the scene of the firing before him. Instead of turning up the road, however, upon this idea, they wheeled to the left, poured a volley into the Fourth Iowa, and charged.
Huff tried bravely to get his little command into position for defense, and did return the fire and kept the rebels off for a few moments ; but they were too near and much too strong for him. And a portion of them  quickly outflanked him.

His command was broken to pieces, with a loss of three killed, eight wounded, and twenty captured, himself being among the prisoners. The remainder escaped and rode back to Memphis. A larger detachment was then sent out, which brought in the killed and a few wounded who had not been taken away, but found no enemy. Captain Huff and his fellow prisoners were confined at Andersonville, the survivors remaining captive till the end of the war.

CAPT. CHARLES G. OLMSTEAD.

Push.

CAPT. CHARLES G. OLMSTEAD.

Charles G. Olmstead, was born in Vanderburg county, Indiana, November 1, 1823, and entered the U. S. service as 1st lieutenant of Company A, 42d Regiment, with its organization, at the age of 38 years and 9 months. Before
entering the army he was engaged in the saw-mill and lumber business in Evansville, Indiana.

Captain Olmstead was promoted to this rank soon after  the organization of the command, his captain (Atchison) being made chaplain.

Captain Olmstead was one of the most painstaking officers. realizing from the beginning the importance of efficiency and proficiency in drill, and he at once became one of the closest students in tactics.

He was killed at the battle of Perryville, Ky., while urging on his men in the fight. No braver nor better soldier ever belonged to the regiment.

His body was removed from the bloody field of Perryville, Ky., to his former home, where it found a last resting-place, on what would have been his 39th birthday.

Captain Olmstead was known as a christian soldier, and although he was denied the celebration of his 39th birth-day here on earth, let us hope and believe he celebrated it in heaven, hard by the throne of God, for he was a Soldier of the Cross, as well as for the Union.

He left a wife, three sons and one daughter, all living except the second son. By all who knew him, Captain Olmstead was loved.

Death of Chas. G. Olmstead.

On October 8th, 1862, Captain Chas. G. Olmstead, Company A, fell, shot dead, the ball entering near the center of the forehead. He was urging, encouraging and cheering his men and had just said to them : " This is as good a place to die as any other," and the words had scarcely died on his
lips when he fell, killed outright. He was one of the best drill-masters of the line, and  was loved by all. He fell at his post of duty.

A of the Confederate Guards in Zebulon and was made its captain. He soon became a major of the 18th Georgia Regiment, then lieutenant colonel and later colonel of that famous regiment. For the last nine months of the war, he was in command of Gen. Evans old brigade, when Evans was promoted to be a major general, and he had been chosen as a brigadier general, but as no commissions were sent out for several months previous to the close of the war, he never received his as a general though he had been selected as a brigadier and had been serving in that capacity for several months.

Walden E. Purdy and Family History.


Push.

The pioneer settlers of Sac county enjoyed one advantage which will never come to the future settlers of this county, and that is cheap land. In the seventies there was plenty of five and ten-dollar land for sale in this county and today there are few. farms which could be bought for less than one hundred and fifty dollars an acre. While the early settlers enjoyed this one advantage they suffered a number of disadvantages, and it is probably true that a farmer today can pay for his land in almost the same length of time which the farmer of thirty years ago could pay for the land at the price at which it was then purchased. The Purdy family were among the early settlers of this county, and is one of the few families in the county who are able to trace their ancestry back through three generations.

The Purdys have traced their family history in the United States back  to the year 1656, when three brothers of the family came from Norway to  America and settled in Vermont. One member of the family, Reverend
William Purdy, settled in Pennsylvania. He became the progenitor of the Purdys who came to Sac county, Iowa. The family have been prominent in many states from the earliest history of the country. Members of the family
fought in the Revolutionary War and also in the War of 1812, while a
number of them were in the Civil War. Rev. William Purdy. a Baptist minister of Pennsylvania, had a son by the name of Peter, who in tum was the father of Marshall. the father of Walden E., whose history is here delineated.

 Walden E. Purdy was born August 14. 1840, in Wayne county. Pennsylvania. and is the son of Marshall and Sally Ann (Rude) Purdy, both of whom are natives of Pennsylvania. Peter Purdy, the father of Rev.  William  Purdy, migrated from Connecticut to Wayne county, Pennsylvania, in 17
92.

Marshall Purdy lived and died in Pennsylvania, dying in Wayne county in
1872. Mr. and Mrs. Marshall Purdy were the parents of nine children:
Newman D., Walden E., Elmer N., Mahlon D., Chester, Emeline, Lucinda,
Celeste and Melissa.

Walden E. Purdy was educated in Abbington Academy in Pennsylvania
and in 1861 came to Floyd county, Iowa, from his native state. The next
year he bought eighty acres in this county of his father-in-law, and lived on
it for the next ten years. In 1873 he came to Sac county, where he purchased
ninety-seven acres at five dollars and a half an acre. This land had never
been broken, and, as Mr. Purdy says, “there was nothing but prairie grass and mosquitoes” to be found on the farm. Since purchasing this farm he has
added to his land holdings from time to time, until he now owns one hundred and ninety-four acres in Wall Lake township. His son has forty acres in Jackson township and eighty-seven acres in W all Lake township, making a total of three hundred and forty-one acres in this county.

Mr. Purdy was married March 1 7, 1854, to Sarah A. Pelton, who was born October 23, 1842, in Lake county, Illinois. She is the daughter of Thomas and Lovilla (Graves) Pelton. natives of Tompkins and E Washington
counties, New York, respectively. Thomas Pelton pre-empted his land in
Lake county, Illinois, and at one time had an opportunity to buy land at
Chicago, but refused the opportunity. He did not realize at that time that the
land would become very valuable.

 In 1850 the Pelton family moved to Floyd county, Iowa, where they lived the remainder of their days. Thomas Pelton was born in 1811 and died in 1873. Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Pelton were the parents of two children, Susan and Sarah, the wife of Mr. Purdy. They also reared one adopted son, Frank. M r. and Mrs. Purdy are the parents of nine children: Mrs. Carrie Platt, of Minnesota; Mrs. May Della Stanzel, of Wall Lake township; Mrs. Nettie Benson, who lives in Texas, near Galveston; Frank. at home; Mrs. Cora McClintock, of South Dakota; Mrs. Grace Jennett, deceased; Clarence, at home; Mrs. Ada Thaw, deceased, and Mrs. Vernie Ellwanger, of Wall Lake, Iowa.

Mr. Purdy is a stanch Democrat and a firm believer in the principles of his party. He and his family are all members of the Baptist church and contribute of their means to its support. Mr. Purdy is a musician of ability
and has reared a family of musicians. At one time the family organized an
orchestra. which was known as the Purdy orchestra. Mr. Purdy has taught
a singing school since coming to this county. He is a vocal teacher of merit
and because of his musical ability has taught vocal music in the Methodist
church. The family has long been recognized as one which is interested in
the development of their community along such lines as would make a community a better place in which to live.

Robert N. Brady.

BRADY, ROBERT N., was born In this State In 1840, in what Is now Fulton County. He was born and raised on a farm which his father owned not far from where Atlanta now Is. Prior to the Civil War, Mr. Brady bought a pair of horses and a pair of mules and with a big wagon of merchandise, started out to trade in live stock and merchandise. He came to this section during the war, and married Miss Ann Marshall, of Berrien County, by whom he had two sons, Samuel H., and John Brady.

When O'Steen's company was organized In Homervllle for service In the Confederate Army, Mr. Brady, together with his brothers, joined this company, serving until 1865. Returning home he opened up a store at Lawton, which he ran until his election as sheriff of Clinch County In 1872.

In this election he defeated James North. Mr. Brady was commissioned January i8th, 1873. In 1874 he was killed by some parties who lived In the vicinity of the Okefinokee Swamp. Mr. Brady had a warrant for a party who lived in the neighborhood of the swamp, and after pursuing his man as far as the Everglades In Florida, captured him and carried him to Live Oak, Fla., and put him in jail, as Clinch County had no jail then.

He returned home on a Friday night and at dinner the next day was called from his table by parties In front of his house, and as he emerged through the door was shot In the chest before he could hardly recognize his assailants. The sheriff's brother, Lewis J. Brady, was at the house at the time, and came out and engaged the crowd who proved to be relatives and confederates of the man whom the sheriff had arrested. Lewis J. Brady was shot in the abdomen and died in a few minutes.

The sheriff lingered after this for three months and six days and died from the effects of the shot in his breast. He could not speak above a whisper from the time he was shot until he died. Thus ended the life of a brave officer of the law, faithful to every trust.

LANSON E. ALDRICH, Vermont.

LANSON E. ALDRICH

 Born in Franconia, N. H. Had resided in St. Johnsbury two  or three years before the war,—a blacksmith, and for a portion of  this time in the employ of S. B. Marston. Age 25 years. Enlisted in Co. A, nth Regiment, August 6, 1862, and was mustered into United States service as a private, Sept. 1, 1862. Promoted Corporal, Sept. 10, 1862, and Sergeant, January 23, 1864.

 Taken prisoner in the action on Veldon railroad, south of Petersburg, Va., June 23, 1864. Imprisoned for a few days at Richmond and then taken to Andersonville, Ga., where he died of diarrhoea, Qct. 8, 1864, and was buried in grave No. 10,664.

 The United States Government has caused head boards to be erected at the head of each grave in the Andersonville Cemetery, and when known the soldier's name has been marked upon it, with number, date of death, and his regiment and company. Aldrich's grave is thus marked upon the board at its head.  Members of Company A say Aldrich was with his regiment in all the
battles it had engaged in prior to the time he was captured.
United States bounty, $100.

 The name of Sergeant Aldrich is not only the first on the
Record, but the first in alphabetical order of the St. Johnsbury
soldiers who died at Andersonville. For the information of the
friends of the large number of our heroes buried there the annexed description of the place where they sleep is given, together with an account of the manner in which the rebels kept the death  register, and of its preservation.

 The rebels detailed Union prisoners to bury the dead. Eugene Alexander, a prisoner from St. Albans, Vt., was one of the number thus engaged. In a letter he describes the manner of interment thus: "Buried in long trenches, three feet deep, one hundred bodies in a trench. A pine slab was laid across the trench directly over each body, and resting on the shoulders, one foot high on each side, and the earth then thrown over them."

 The dead were buried without coffins, and usually with scanty  clothing; close together, with only about twelve inches of space for each body.

He had been ill for several weeks. Mr. Pettit was born at Hoosick January 31, 1844, and lived in his native town .until 1881, when he removed to this city.

Captain Pettit participated in the thirty-two battles in which his regiment was engaged, and he returned home with his command ln 1865. Chaplain Ezra D. Simons in his regimental history said of Captain Pettit: He was one of the primmest, bravest little soldiers that ever buckled a sword.

The record made of Captain Pettit's valor and good service, as of the valor and good conduct of other officers and enlisted men, is not an afterthought, penned only In view of this history, but distinct record was made of the courage displayed and the ability and fidelity manifested while yet these were matters of observation." Captain Pettit was brave to a fault end was only too eager to show his devotion to his country on the battlefield.

The men under him loved and trusted him, and would follow him wherever he led them. Captain Pettit was a member of Post Tlbbits, G. A. R., and a Past Commander of the post, and was Treasurer of the One Hundred and Twenty-fifth Regimental Association. Mr. Pettit was a member of the Veteran Boys In Blue Republican Club. Mr. Pettit returned to this city at the close of the war and. with the exception of about two years, had always lived in Troy.

He was for a number of years employed at the factory of Earl A Wilson, and then opened a grocery store at the corner of Pawling and Maple Avenues. He continued In this business for about twenty years and retired about three years ago. Mr. Pettit then removed to Round Lake, and after spending about a year there returned to this city end took up his residence on Highland Avenue.

Captain Pettit had a wide acquaintance and was respected by all who knew him. He was a member of Trinity Methodist Church. The survivors are his widow. who was Miss Jennie M Chisholm, and a daughter Miss Maud Pettit; also a brother David Pettit, and two sisters, Mrs William Sweet and Miss Jennie L, Pettit of Gilman.
